Nissan Titan - Slow Acceleration?

Hey Forza Friends,

I got the Blizzard Mountain Expansion almost solely because of the Nissan Titan! Don’t get me wrong, the Blizzard and snow conditions are an added bonus. However, I noticed as soon as I jumped in the Titan and went for a drive the acceleration is extremely slow and almost feels like its choked out until you get around 3,500 rpms? This occurs in AT and MT. In MT though it doesn’t go into gear or start going unless you pump the throttle while letting off the clutch. Could this be a potential glitch?

I then tried upgrading the engine to the TT (2.6 I believe) and fully upgraded all the components on top of that, and same thing just worked a little better in MT.

Before I get comments saying “It’s a truck, and its a diesel… what do you expect?” well I know the difference between how it should pick up, compared to any of the F150’s or RAM trucks. Just wondering if this is a possible glitch or maybe its to really show the difference in the Diesel engine, as I do know Diesel trucks have slower acceleration and less low end torque but a lot more overall HP.

One work around I found was changing the tune, but I doubt the default tune would make the 1st gear in that truck barely usable, I’m talking a slow very sloooow increase to even 20KM/H. Changing the tune for the gears made it a little more bearable in MT but cut down overall speed to compensate for the lack of acceleration available.

Anyone else experience this?

Leave the stock wheels on it, so launch doesn’t get stuck at 3.0

I HAVE NO IDEA HOW A BROKEN CAR CAN MAKE IT ALL THE WAY PAST RELEASE.

Adding aftermarket wheels makes it almost 13k lbs.

It’s a slug anyway, but jeez.

Even putting the 6.2L V8 with over 1000hp still accelerates slow with no wheel spin.

I find it pretty quick with that engine.

Provide you stick to stock rims?

If you know the rims are bugged, why would you use them? If you want them for the looks that much, you deserve the weight gain.

I am using stock rims.

Maybe put upgraded rims plus upgraded turbo lol. The turbo on original motor is bugged too i think but in a good way.

Thank you for the input. I actually went and bought another one, stock, just to see and yeah it works a lot better stock. I feel bad for those like me who spent the $$ upgrading it and it slugs… and I haven’t been able to use it in a race yet, haha but I’m glad I haven’t.

Worst part is, I drove 30+ min each way to go to a friends and plug it in to upgrade the game and download the expansion. This is what I hate about Xbox One games, I’m on a super slow connection sadly due to where I live and it is about 50kbps. Takes about 15 days of constant use, not being able to use anything else like Netflix or Facebook on my laptop to update my game. Luckily we have a new internet provider coming in soon…

Wheel upgrades add 3500 - almost 7000 lbs… Dont do it.

Plus it is a Diesel as well, so automatically it won’t be quick to launch

Never change Schakal, never change…

To be fair, i didn’t see that line. Oh well.

Yes, I states already it was a diesel so it wouldn’t be quick to launch. I found how it almost stalled or felt like it was choking out could be a sign of a minor glitch.

Keep the stock motor but add a race transmission. Change the final drive as high as it will go (6.10 or so) and the individual gears a little further, and it’ll behave much better.

Edit: Wait I did change the motor, my bad. I have the 6.2 in there with the mentioned trans settings.

Got a tune up for it. Not the best but you can see it will accelerate decently even w/ snow tires eating up a lot of PI in A class.

Have you tried manual with OUT clutch.

A number of race cars performed lots better with M only not MC - possible same issue? Just a thought. Got no idea as I’ve not been in truck at all.

But the description of what it’s doing sound a lot like that issue with racecars off the line I. FM6 (Audi lemans car, Indy cars etc)

Just a quick note, diesel engines in fact do provide alot of torque but low horsepower…carry on.

Just drop a TT V12 in that bad boy!!!

Cant. Only RB26 or 6.2L V8 are the only engines available for that bad boy. Take off aftermarket rims keep stock rims and the sucker wheel spins with that 1000 hp V8 lol.

Why does it need 1000hp. Mine is in A class with 571 hp and it runs really well.

lol. I do think it’s funny having a 1500lb-ft, 800HP pickup truck that’s an A-Class lol.

added 7,000lbs with After Market wheels :smiley:
