How Long Will a Nissan Titan Last? 

I have a 2007 Nissan Titan V8 and it has 498,000 MI and still running like a champ maintenance is key if you want any truck to last

I Have 416k on my 2008 titan. Still running strong with Original transmission and engine (Update) I now have 444k on it.

I own a 2005 Titan with 306k and live in upstate NY with all the winter elements and road salt....still has the original engine/transmission and transfer case....still drive it every day and regularly pull a loaded 7x12 dump trailer at 9,000lbs plus...not to mention numerous truck pulls, burnouts, mudding and driving it like its stolen. I would not think twice about driving it across the country. These trucks, when maintained are awesome.... cant wait to hit 400k. 💪👍

I have a 05 Titan with 410,000 miles. Use it everyday and never had a major issue. Love the Titan

I sold my 2011 ram 2500 cummins to downsize to a half ton. I spent 6 months researching trucks that would work for me. I never even considered the titan until i read the specs on them. I got a 2009 with 198,xxx mi last year and its been awesome. My favorite part is how freakin fast they are. The fastest vehicle ive ever owned. Amazing ride quality and for the prices you get a lot of "new vehicle" features in an older truck. Honestly the most underrated vehicle ive ever seen. Truck guys that don't know about them will bash them but the guys that do know about them will understand how great these trucks really are. Only issue ive had is having to replace exhaust manifolds but theres plenty of parts out there. Also parts are NOT expensive for these great trucks too. Cannot go wrong with a first gen titan. Id suggest 2008 and up if you look to get one. 2008-2015 had least amount of known problems and they are damn good looking in my opinion. Thanks for reading this whole post if you got to the end haha

Hello, Nissan fellows - I have a 2007 Nissan Titan with 630,365 miles. And still running g like a Champ!👍

419,000 Miles on 2004 Nissan Titan all original and drives like a dram 🥰

Bought my '04 king cab new and it's still going strong almost 19 years later. Very few issues with it all of which were minor repairs. Great trucks!

I have an 2008 nissan titan and has 188000 and it runs perfect. Literally so smooth and I tow with it. Such a great truck

I have a 2007 nissian titan and it have 315000 thousand miles and still runs good 👍

Tundra= C Channel frame that's prone to rust issues and NO locking rear diff, ok crash test rating. Titan= Fully boxed reinforced frame and locking rear diff available, bullet proof drive train, great crash test rating and best truck warranty 5 yr/100k.

I bought a 2012 Titan new. Pro-4x with all options. I've had it just over 8 years now, and it has 49250 miles. I don't drive it a lot, but it's only purpose was to go adventuring with my son. I've had to use the 4wd system many times in all types of weather and terrain. (Family farm where I grew up.) No issues as all with this truck. It's had all suggested maintenance performed during the 8 years. I plan on keeping this truck for many more years as well. I love my Titan.

i have an 04 titan with over 300,000 miles and its still going strong. All I've ever done is regular oil changes and replace the starter. Its been a great truck.

Just bought the 2021 and I love it. I was not even interested in the Titan but after driving the Ford, Toyota and Dodge I choose the Titan. Better gas mileage and just an overall better vehicle in my opinion.

I have a 2006 titan and I'm at 330,000 miles and still runs amazing

I bought my 1st Gen 2004 Titan for $19,500 OTD in Sept of 2004, when Ford and Chevy wouldn't let a basic model out for $24K. When I fired it up for a test drive, the motor instantly reminded me of my 1968 Chevelle SS with the 396BB and the L88 Camshaft. I Replaced the Tranny at 246K miles, just changed the differential fluid for the 1ST TIME at 278K miles and found very little metal and the gears looked perfect. I am just now replacing the 2 front wheel hubs because I am hearing a growl on the road after changing some 6 year old tires and thought the tires may be the culprit. Yesterday I changed the driver's seat bottom cushion (swapped it with the passenger cushion since it was barely used. My Titan has been BULLET PROOF. I have never babied it or abused it but I swear by this Truck. BTW, Bought my son a used one with 321K miles on it (back in 2016) and it purred like a kitten.

I am the proud owner of a 2016 Titan XD Platinum Reserve model. So far, apart from regular oil changes I haven’t had any major mechanical expenses. I replaced the original stock tires and am expecting to have to do a brake job one of these days but that is just part of vehicle ownership. The 5.6 litre Endurance V8 has gobs of power and the interior is roomy with the most comfy seats of any I have ever sat in. The overall fit and finish is beyond that of any comparable Ford or Chevy, in my opinion and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the Nissan Titan to anyone who is contemplating purchasing a full sized pickup.

December 2023, With God’s help I bought my 2012 Titan Heavy Metal Chrome edition, And it is better and much nicer that I could find on my own, I guess you can tell that I am loving and enjoying my Titan Oh, and it is a pleasure to drive in our snowy winter in North Idaho! I am grateful!

Hey Bill. Original of my 2004 Nissan Titan. 415834 miles and still going. GOTTA LOVE IT! No significant issues. Regular maintenance. Just noticed that the odometer has been glitching during extreme heat conditions, which is when it stops tracking the mileage. So it's very likely to actually have more than 416K miles. Great video.

I have a titan with 180,000 absolutely perfect I keep reading reviews on titans and it only encourages me to keep making it last till the wheels fall off and even longer thank you

I appreciate the depth and detail of this vid, but have to disagree on the decision.. I debated for several months between the Titan and Tundra, but in the end I preferred the Titans I test drove. Nissan's handling is smoother and the ride seemed softer (regardless of TRD or Pro4x). Also, the crew cab Tundras are simply excessive compared to the Titans. I can sleep comfortably in the back seat of the Titan, but the back row of the Tundra goes too far beyond what is necessary and simply detracts from the "truck" use of the vehicle. After driving a few of each, I would say the Titan is more of a daily use truck, whereas the Tundra is a family SUV with a bit of bonus bed space... Icing on the cake was the Titan's motor, what a beautiful sound! I would take a Tundra over American trucks anyday, but the Titan is still #1 best value in my book. By far the smoothest and best designed truck I've driven.

08 Titan, currently 344k miles and running like a champ. Did replace exhaust manifolds with headers

2008 Titan SE 188,000 miles. Hands down the best truck I've ever owned!! I upgraded to headers and installed UPREV software... Turned or tuned it into a beast! 😏

Just bought my 3rd Titan pro4X. Its the 2024, last of the Titans. I have never had a problem with any of my trucks except the radio went out on my 2019. It was replaced under warranty. All my trucks had over 100k

171k on my 04 Titan. I will not own another truck. I love my Titan. It does come with its issues. Cracked manifolds, and undersized brakes. I’ve replaced the manifolds with Cajun b pipe setup and a tune, brakes I will replace with 08+, and an axle vent mod does the trick for leaking seals. Getting ready to drive it across the country with a dirt bike in the back. Wish me luck

Highly underrated truck which suits me just fine... I have a 2007 with just 95,000 miles and its been incredibly reliable to this point with a solid drive train. Good to see others in comments that feel the same.

Loved the video. I will say that I know multiple people including myself with a 2011/2010 titan with over 350,000 miles and are still going strong.

As someone who just purchased a beautifully conditioned 2018 Nissan Titan SV with 90k miles (purchased for 22,000), i’m feeling great about my buy after reading all these fantastic comments!

Hi Bill. I just found your channel and am enjoying it. One thing I've done in the past to measure vehicle reliability is to ask an auto dismantler about their replacement prices for the major powertrain components. The way dismantlers price their parts is by use of a computerized supply and demand algorithm. More reliable parts are comparatively less expensive because the demand is less and visa versa. I learned about this from my brother who runs a dismantling yard. He's the guy I call to find out which models and powertrain combinations are less prone to failure. Thanks for your videos !!!

I have a 2007 SE crew cab 4x4 with 202k on the motor and a rebuilt transmission 5k ago. I swapped in an external transmission cooler on the radiator and added a long breather tube for the rear differential. It does need the exhaust gaskets replaced, but runs like a top and has zero issues. It has a performance chip, dual exhaust, and a 2.5” lift with 295-70-18 tires. I would highly recommend picking a decent used one up as they are easy to maintain, have relatively few issues, a ton of power and space. Very underrated and I have owned all brands of full size trucks, even Toyota.

311,000 on my 2012 Pro4X. It has seen some hard off road use. Never touched engine or transmission other than regular fluid changes with Amsoil. Replaced alternator at 300,000. Other than brakes, ball joints and wheel bearings, everything else is original including muffler. Runs strong.

Mine has 217, 000 miles. Running great. A main issue not mentioned is the exhaust manifolds.

Own two 06 and 19. The 06 ish years had problems with exhaust manifolds and blend door actuator. I fixed both myself for about $60. The 06 runs still runs great and I gave it to my 16 yr old son.

Just hit 450,000 on my 2005 Titan. So far the major issues have been that we had to replace the rear end and the exhaust manifolds are paper thin leading to cracks. I replaced the exhaust manifolds with a pair of JBL shorty headers and had dual exhaust put on. No issues since. This is our spare truck as we have 2015, 2108 and a 2021 F150. Many more issues with the F150s...

thank you for making this informative video. I have a 2011 Titan I bought new...and I have simply loved this truck. It has had no major issues. I have 170,000 miles as of today. I hope to have it for another 100,000.

My 2005 Titan SE 4wd has 381,000 miles. Replaced the exhaust manifold around 100K, just replaced fuel pump. Have replaced the camshaft position sensor relay ($30) once and brakes pretty often (I pull cargo trailer for work). I love it.

I have a 2013 with 80,000. She’s a baby and still drives like a brand new truck. Only issues I’ve had are with brake master pressure sensor, (covered under warranty)and the common manual shift button/switch issue. Great truck overall

I have 2005 Nissan Armada with over 430,000 miles, still runs great, original engine and transmission. Just recently had to replace front catalyst converters. Perfect for towing fully loaded two horse trailer!!!

I think the better question here is, "How many miles did your Titan have when it died and what killed it?" That would give us a better "life expectancy" than how many miles do you currently have. BTW I have an 07 with 244k and expect a lot more! No major issues other than Carrier bearing and U-joints in the drive shaft. Great trucks!!

I just bought an 09 yesterday for $15k with 113k miles and in nearly perfect condition, I love it!

2011 Titan SL used as a service truck with 298K and still running strong. Liked it so much I just bought a new platinum reserve for my personal driver. These trucks are highly under rated.

2005 Titan with 275,480 miles, all original except for a aftermarket three core aluminum radiator, long tube headers, tune in truck, I did manage to break a couple axels doing burn-outs with my truck, has the 2.94 gears in rear, with positive traction, best et was a 14.50 at 94 mph, it's a heavy truck. love it!

I worked for a carwash and had a titan with 700k on the odometer and looked the part. Literally felt like a slinky driving it

I have a 2005 Nissan Titan LE with 205500 miles love this truck Biggest job was Transmission rebuilt @ 197500 miles. Runs great plan on keeping until it can't drive anymore

I Have a 2010 Titan 4wd V8 just hit 162,00 on my way home from work today. Love this truck!! I bought it in 2017 with 89,000 miles on it. Routine maintenance and aftermarket exhaust and wheel bearings are the only things ever done to it. Thanks for the Great review!!

I had an 2005 titan that had 345k. Had it for 10 years before I traded it in for my 2015 Sierra 2500. The titan never let me down what do ever. Even my 2012 Xterra is at 135k and not a single problem( knock on wood).

Mine is a 2004 and just passed 377,000 miles with minimum repairs

215K on my 2007 4x4 crew cab... still runs strong. Other than normal wear and tear and typical gadgets/gizmos/bells/whistles that go bad, it has been trouble free.

2004 titan 352566. Original drivetrain. No engine or trans repairs. Look at tundra. How many of them can say that? I own a repair shop. I have done my share of tundra timing chains etc..... Titans rule. You should have compared repair cost!

2010 Titan with 212k miles. Still runs like the day I got it with 32k miles. No major issues outside of wear and tear and normal maintenance. Original engine and transmission. I keep up with the maintenance on it pretty good.

2012 with 101k. I'm huge on preventive maintenance so i plan on keeping this truck for a long time. I had a 2006 that I loved as well, but hurricane Sandy took it from me. Great truck that I want to run for many years to come. Greatest underated truck out there.

I own a 2012 Nissan Titan Pro4x 160k I've owned the truck for a little over 5 years. The only issue I've had was the battery terminal became corroded and broke. I lost all power. I had changed all fluids as needed. The truck is great, plenty of power. I towed a 25 foot Bennington tritoon from Illinois to Hot Springs Ar. No issues at all. I've driven to Florida 2 times, Louisiana, Missouri. The truck continues to impress me. If you have any doubts, DON'T.... These trucks are made to last. Maintenance, is key.

I special ordered my Titan in 2003 and received it the first week in January of 2004. No issues at all. Only had to replace the radiator due to rock causing a pin hole leak in it. Gas mileage sucks compared to my old Silverado but very reliable and still get compliments on the truck.

I have a 2004 Nissan Titan LE with 315058 on the clock. I do all my own maintenance and repairs and I just last week took it to a transmission shop to replace my broken flywheel and one the guys working on my truck took it for a joyride and blew my engine up. This is literally the first time I had ever took my vehicle anywhere to get serviced. Hence the reason why I do all my own maintenance.

08 Titan at 267K miles. Still a beast. Changing the fluids is key! Love my Upreved truck….

I have a 04 titan 4x4 king cab with 199K, my dad got it in 08 handed it down last year with nothing but regular maintenance and it’s still doing a great job. I love that truck and hope to keep it for a long time. Fingers crossed.

Just bought an 08 Titan XE with under 94000 miles. Truck is pristine and drives like new. Not a single rattle.

2007 Titan SE Crew cab. Original owner. 156000 miles. No issues and never been in for any repairs. I perform all maintenance. Best truck. I had two Ford trucks and will never go back. Just installed General Grabber APT tires. Ready for another 150k miles.

I have a 2006 Titan. I have 400k on my truck and it’s still going. Best truck I have ever owned and I have owned them all.

My Nissan Titan is a 2008 with 174k miles. I’m first owner and never had a problem. Runs great and strong!

I live in snowy MN, like your analysis based on data. I would love to see some stats on top cars for snowy climate (handling, body/frame condition, affordability, etc.).

I have a 2009 Titan SE with a little above 196k miles.. Engine and transmission still pretty solid. Never really had major issues other than having to replace the radiator and the starter.

2005 Crew Cab, LE, 4X4, 178K, Off Road & Towing Pkg. , Original Owner. This truck has towed 2 bikes and trailer all over the USA, as well as a UHAUL back and forth with an entire household on many 750 mile round trips. Front wheel hub assemblies have been replaced (TIMKEN) at 144K. Entire rear differential and axle assembly replaced under warranty at 56K. Issues with starting solved with a $5 ignition relay. AC recharged 10 years ago. Transmission cooler hoses replaced due to failure at about 140K. A “check engine” light involving the catalytic converters was easily fixed by two bottles of “techroline” in a full tank. That was a year ago.

2007 Titan owner 270,000 miles, it runs smooth, no check engine yet, synthetic oil since new, oil and filter change every 7,000 miles.

How long will a Titan last? Good question, I'm still driving my 2004 that I bought in the summer of 2003 and it's still going strong. They're under appreciated trucks for sure.

I have a 2005 Titan, my first Truck bought it 4 years ago with 170,550 runs good. Unfortunately @ 195,550 the Transmission went, but had it rebuilt. RUNS GREAT. Now @ 201467 miles .Rides smooth with no issues, very satisfied with my purchase. Paid 5k 4 years ago

08 with 180K here, no oil leaks, tiny power steering leak, climate control, diverter clicks and my replacement. It must have been in the wrong position when I did it because it still happens and now the climate control dash module unit needs replacement. Windows got stuck so I had to replace those but that's an easy job. I just bought the entire unit with both rails and motor, bushings need replaced at this point and the rear axle did build up too much pressure causing a leak that led to needing to replace half the rear axle, which wasn't too complicated but I recommend the modification where you go through the closed port on the passenger side of the rear axle with a tube routed up into the tail light with a filter on the end like some have done to allow for expansion and contraction when heat builds up, I tow heavy loads. I have added the Triton load. Leveling gigantic bushings to replace the normal bump stops in the back as an alternative to air shocks because these will never fail and never require maintenance and they have eliminated squat when I am at the limit of what the Titan can hold and the ride is nice too. I did replace all shocks and struts a couple years ago. I used the heavy duty rancho adjustables but I just leave them on the roughest ride. I forget what I used in front. This thing has run like a champ. Oh yeah the third overhead brake light leaked and got all my seats wet so that needed attention as well. But considering almost 200,000 mi you can't complain. Everything under the hood has remained rock solid and leak proof except for the power steering leak which has made a mess everywhere but it's not bad enough to have to keep an eye on the level for some reason. I really need to address that when you have the money. You don't have the time and when you have the time you don't have the money...

I think the car last based on how you use it, if its a daily works flawless, if you run it in the mud more than likely you will have issues. I have 245000, only had to change the starter and that was 6 months ago after having the vehicle since 2011 brand new off the lot! Love it.

Nissan Armada included. We got one that is used and abused 2005. Se off-road. 230k Gets an oil change occasionally. Hauls and tows. But that 5.6 and bulletproof 5 spd automatic. Can’t beat em.

2007 Titan 4x4 with 250k. Flawless truck and I still tow about 6k pounds normally. The only thing I've done is upgraded the transmission cooler.

2014 194000 miles. I drive it from Texas to North dakota for work so it's in extreme heat and extreme cold. No issues other than basic maintenance

My 08 Titan just hit 200,000 Great truck. Always used Amsoil synthetic. Love my Titan

Gen 1 Titans are amazing. 199999 on my 05 and counting. Best truck I have ever owned.

I purchased a 2004 Titan for $3,000 with 165k miles. This truck is uglier than homemade soap. Every panel has a small dent or scratch. But the interior is mint. Runs like a champ every time. Probably the least likely truck to get stolen. I like that.

I'm the second owner, my dad being the first, of my 04' Titan. The wheel bearings (or axle bearings) were always something that was spoke of but it has only happened twice in my memory, once in my two years of ownership. The transmission went out at 200k but we did dog it out and didn't maintain it the best but other than that it is been a great truck it has 230k now and it's been the only truck I've known and loved.

i had a 2005 Titan crew with 396xxx miles. was still a tight running truck. i also had a 2007 with 291xxx miles. i was rearended in it, and was able to drive it home. i just bought another 2007 crew with 80xxx miles. should be the last truck i buy in my life time.

I have a 04 Nissan Titan, I got 220,000 still tuning good, love it!!

My 2007 Titan went 315,000 and some change then i sold it.....loved it.....i have a 2018 Titan now bought new and love it

I have an 06 Titan with 238k miles. Still runs fine. The only things changed were routine maintenance and also things that typically go out such as fuel pump (at 200k) and the starter (around 150k). I’m looking to get to 300k before I trade it in. I put a lot of upgrades in it like a touch screen, fog lights/control switch, backup camera, and the LTE rearview mirror

Titan just wasn't a big selling truck for some reason 😕?? I can tell you from my own experience that this truck is absolutely worth the money!!! I bought my truck in 2006 with close to 155.000 miles. And it now has 273,851 miles on it . I have never had any problems with it. The only things I've done to it is the proper maintenance. New battery, new tune up on time. Alternator and plugs with serpentine belt,wires and oil changes with air filter and oil filters. All of the stuff is basic with no big or major issues at all whatsoever

I have a 2007 Titan with 326,000 miles on the original engine and transmission. However this year I’ve spent $3500 in maintenance. Fix and go fix and go, it’s been paid off.

I'm only at 80,000 on a 2010 king cab. The only problems I have had was 1- The climate control actuators, but because they are buried behind the dash the labor is over $1000 (Parts and labor). 2- a little rust over rear wheel well which is common on any pickup over 10 years old and 3- a corroded steering pump cooler line ($400 parts and labor). Minor issues have been... Rear sonar speaker ($10 fix, no skill required) and the tailgate lever linkage disconnecting (free fix, minor skill required). Never had a check engine light and I love it and will hopefully keep it for another 10 years. I'm not light footed either... 😎

2005 Nissan Titan owner. Mine's got far few miles on it (165,000) because she's not driven all the time, but I love that truck. 165,000 miles and she starts immediately, purrs like a cat and will still spin tires all day if I punch the gas. She's quiet inside when driving; no rattles, dings, squeaks or other noises that suggest things are coming loose. And I get way better gas mileage than most other people I know who have trucks of a similar configuration. Only complaint I have is the catalectic converters went out and those aren't cheap to replace.

I fully intend on buying a Titan soon.

I've got to weigh in on this because I am the worst owner a vehicle ever had. I'm on my second Titan bought my first in 05 new, put 270,000 miles on it. I changed the oil every 12 to 15,000 miles drove it everyday as a work , a rear end in at 180000. Brakes and Tires were the only other expenses. I bought an 08 in 2015 and I still drive it same situation, I treat trucks like crap. Start every time and has never let me down. 240000 still going strong. But there are two issues about these trucks pre 2009, the cats clogged up at a hundred and seventy-five thousand miles in both trucks and the rear end leaks in both trucks I replaced the one as I described above but not the 2008. I'm in the market for a 2015 Titan with less than a hundred thousand miles so I can beat the hell out of it too. It is the perfect work truck

Thank you for the video..Have a blessed day..

I’ve got 321000 on my 2004. Original engine and transmission. I have replaced the manifold with oem and updated the exhaust. But been good so far with just normal maintenance stuff.

I have a 2009 Nissan titan it has 56,000 miles I purchased it new. Change the oil every 3500 miles with synthetic. The only issue I’ve ever had is the actuator door motor for the HVAC. I absolutely love my titan I hope it never fails

Check copart they have 300-500k miles on a regular basis generally speaking I see more titans with 300k miles than the big 3 despite the low low sales numbers

2013 titan pro-4x. Owned through two super typhoons and the truck is clutch every single time in an emergency. You feel very safe in the car as well. 125k on the odo. Had issues with window motors, tail gate (sometimes used for hauling materials and furniture), actuator replacement, and probably gonna do an preemptive radiator replacement soon. Would it hit 200k? I say if you are on top of servicing it , it will probably last through 300k.

2008 Nissan Titan SE 4x4 KC with 212,000. Original Engine and Transmission are still running great! I Tow a boat with it every weekend. Only had to replace some EVAP sensors.

I have a 2005 Titan with 390, 000 miles on it! Just a week ago the transmission went out on it. Besides that , I haven’t had to do anything but the normal maintenance.

There was a 2006 Titan for sale in Minnesota last year that has 1 million miles. I think he sold it for $26k. I have 2012 pro 4x 156k miles, not a single problem, just regular maintenance. I plan to go on a month vacation with it. Go to Alaska, Florida, New York and coming back home to Minnesota.

I have a 04 with 220k on it. I live in the Northeast. Still runs great also with orig engine, trans, starter. Just normal wear and some rust in the rear wheel wells now. But..... she runs great. I have new car and if you asked me to drive to Cali, I'm changing the oil, and in my Titan I go!!!

I have a 2006 Titan XE, it’s had a few oil leaks but got that fixed, just regular maintenance. I have almost 190,000 miles. I’m praying it goes to 400,000 miles. I can’t and don’t want a truck payment. It’s been a great truck!!!

I have 2011 Nissan titan at 219,000 miles on it. No problem still running strong.

Bought a loaded 2015 T for $11k with 65k miles. If it was a Tundra that would've been the down payment. The T does everything I ask it to do and more. Great truck with tons of tow capacity and is a joy to drive.

2014 titan pro 4x. 140k miles. Major problem faced: snapped a differential axle, dealer wanted 2200 just for the part to install brand new differential, Fixed it rather easily myself for 600 in parts

2009 titan, 204540 miles replacing fuel pump today no other issues and she’s still my charm, smooth, speedy whenever needed.

my 04 had 238k when it was taken from me by a brain dead rut buck. best truck I ever owned, it saw me through the lowest parts of my life with almost no maintenance for 20-30k at a time. it never let me down. I wish I still had it for the nostalgia and memory's.
