I own a 2021 Nissan Pro4X, I really appreciated this truck last winter (2023) when we got 3 to 4 feet of snow at my house in Las Padres National Forest just north of Los Angeles. The Titan was able to just drive over the snow without any problems. Even in 20 degree weather the truck started on first try, and performed better than expected. Recently I had to tow a 7000 pound trailer from Petaluma, California to Burbank, California, mileage average about 11 to 12 miles to the gallon. The Titan had no problem going up the Grapevine on I-5, in fact I was passing cars going up the grade with ease. I definitely recommend this truck and some dealers like AV Nissan offer a 200,000, 20 year warranty for any new Nissan. Nissan offers probably the best warranty of any manufacturer in the business.
That’s great to hear stories like that. I believe a lot of people are on the fence about Titans because they don’t really know the capabilities because they’re not marketed well. I think it’s by word of mouth people really know what the trucks are capable of. What I tell people is that the 5.6L engine has been around for along time and can pull it’s fair share and accept abuse. I haven’t heard about the 200k mile warranty, that’s wild! That tells me Nissan will stand behind its product. I’m a believer and couldn’t be more happy with my truck. I’m glad your truck is treating you well. Owning a Titan in CA has to hurt at the gas pumps. I lived in San Diego for a few years with a Altima and Maxima and cringed at the gas pumps. Lol. Also, to your point about towing I also towed 7k lbs and averaged 11-13 mpg.
Uh, oh. They baited you in, huh? lol. You got to let me know if you decide to buy one. I hope you find a good deal on one if you decide to go with the Titan.
Thanks for the solid video, appreciate you sharing the good, the bad and the ugly. I'm shopping for a truck now before the V8 becomes extinct and there's just not a lot out there like the Titan.
I’ll say there’s nothing like a V8. If you can find a good deal on anything V8 go for it. The Titan is V8 is simple and strong for a half ton. The deals on Titans right now are pretty good but make sure you find something you like and can afford. All trucks have their quirks it’s what you are able to deal with in the long run. Thanks and I appreciate you. I hope you find the truck you like.
thanks for this review, I've actually been shopping all brands of pickup trucks and ive settled in on a titan, just trying to decide between pro 4 max and platinum reserve..but this video helped greatly
Thanks! I don't think you'll regret the Titan. The Pro-4x was more my style with the Luxuries and options of the Platinum Reserve. I don't think you can go wrong with either trim. Good luck!
I have a 2021 pro4x in white, loaded like yours but no running boards. 46k on it i love it. Great gas mileage on the stock generals. 24 was the highest i saw going to Arizona from texas. Comfortable for a family of 5. Halls great amazing offroad and i daily it. No real cons for me except no real aftermarket bumpers but thats about it. Definitely would buy another. Great review.
Im glad that youre enjoying your Titan also. Seems like you and I are almost tied on mileage. lol. I just hit 42K and shes still running smooth. I plan to keep mine for the long haul, despite all the news of Nissan discontining the Titan. Thanks!
@@jamarcusjoe yea nissan is dropping the ball with that news. Titan is a great truck i definitely will keep mine and maybe add another 2nd gen or a 1gen
Awesome review! I bought 2023 pro4x non xd with out the sunroof 8 months ago and I get about the same gas mileage but I will try using premium for once to see if I notice a difference in power and mpgs. I also believe your door panels are covered under the bumper to bumper warranty and maybe you could find a protection film to put on the new ones?
Thanks! I’d be curious to know if you see a difference in mpgs if you switch to premium. The next time I get my oil change I’ll ask about the doors panels. Thanks for the advice!
@@nickturner4728 The times I've put 87 in it, I can definitely feel a difference in acceleration and mpg. The truck still operates normal, but instead of 17/20mpg it'll drop to 15/18 mpg. I'll stick with 91/93 octane until I can't afford it anymore.😆
@@jamarcusjoeI swapped over to premium only fuel in my titan pro 4x and it felt like a completely different truck. Drove so much smoother and I could feel the power difference. I filled up at a quarter of q tank yesterday and it cost $87 bucks. 😂
@@Matt-oj2kl For awhile I thought I was tripping. So many people told me it was all in my head and that premium fuel doesn't make a difference. Im glad you verified. I knew I wasn't going crazy. Although premium is getting closer to the $5/gal mark ill keep with 91/93 for now. lol.
I've always liked the Baja color. It's one of a kind, and you can spot it from a mile away. Im glad to hear you love it. Im at 60K miles and still love mine.
I had a 2012 Pro 4X, and it was one of the best trucks I've ever owned, and I've owned about a dozen of them. Sad to hear they will be discontinued. I had the same experience with the 5.6L and premium fuel. You could feel the difference with a higher octane fuel. I averaged around 14mpg but man, that 5.6 ran and sounded like a nascar. It's one of the most fun engines I've ever owned. A proper 32 valve V8.
@@sinepari9160 that's great to hear. Most people haven't owned as many trucks as you. Your opinion holds weight due to how many trucks you've been around and for you to say the Titan is one of the best means something. I agree the 5.6 is a beast! I plan on keeping mine for the long haul for that very reason, the rumble and the reliability of the engine. Thanks for your comment.
Good video. Just my 2 cents, I have a 2012 sv.234k miles. It will haul and tow more than stated. We had a camper briefly. The salesman was shocked when we hooked it up after purchase. His comment " I have never seen a 1/2 ton that didn't sag. It was a 26 foot grand design.
Yea. That sucks, but maybe it'll be good news in the future. My conspiracy theory is that the Titan will come back as an EV. I'll take it one step further, it will be the premier EV truck. I can only hope. lol. Im with you, I'm driving my 21 P4X until the wheels fall off. I appreciate the comment.
@@jamarcusjoe I could totally see that! I went and visited our local Nissan dealer yesterday just to check out the Ariya, and that is definitely the future, weather people want it or not. 😁 I would be interested in that for sure!
Just got a White 2024 Pro-4X Titan, coming from a 2018 Tacoma. It felt like getting into a school bus. Love the engine and love the space it provides my family. Also an awesome review!
Thanks! I bet that coming from a smaller truck, driving the Titan is like driving a Tank. Ha. I love sitting up and looking down at other drivers. Lol. My family of 4 + a dog loves going on road trips in the truck. It definitely has space for everyone. I hope your Titan treats you well.
I’m glad I’m not the only one using Premium. Many folks have told me that premium is a waste of money. I can definitely feel and see the difference when using premium vs regular. I hope your Titan continues to stay trouble free. Thanks for your comment.
Great review. I'm looking at the same color truck and was curious if the air conditioning is able to cool the truck properly. I'm in North Carolina and it gets hot here. Thanks
Thanks!! The AC works great in hot weather. I've had my truck in Texas heat and now living in South Carolinas hot n humid summers, no issues. The only time it will take to cool is when my moonroof shade is open and it's letting in all the sun rays in. Other than that AC is 👌🏾. I hope you find a good deal on a Titan! You gotta let me know if/when you buy one. I appreciate your comment.
I had a 2022 Pro-4X and gas mileage was the worst. I do a lot of stop and go inside the refinery so I get a whooping 4 miles per gallon. I had to get rid of it to a 22 Chevy Silverado that actually gives me 12 mpg o no my job. I was thinking of going to a maverick hybrid 😢😢
Ouch! 4 mpg. I don’t blame you for trading it in. My neighbor has a hybrid maverick and the truck seems pretty reliable. I hope you’re able to get the truck you want. Thanks.
I have a Titan XD. The entire grab handle on the door is cheap plastic right?! The XD gets worse mpg and doesn't drive as smooth BUT I do have a 1980 lb payload which I love. great truck!
I tell myself if I could do over again I would go with an XD, primarily because the payload increase. Id be curious to know how long the door handle last over years of use. I’m having no issues and it looks like it will stand the test of time. I guess only time will tell. I agree, great truck. Enjoy your XD!
I have a 2023 Frontier that I got 9 months ago and the paint damage from rock chips is so bad, that I actually stopped driving it and bought an old dodge to use. I live on a dirt road, btu I have had 3 other vehicles while living here and none have had damage like this. The truck only has 8000 miles on it and only a small portion is this dirt road. My landlord lives right next to me and none of his vehicles have damage like mine. My is a lease vehicle and I'm very worried that its going to cost me several grand to return it because ill be charged for repainting the truck.
Yea the paint chips worry me also. It’s unfortunate for you and your situation. I’ll have to look more into how I can use some sort of protectant so that the paint chips don’t spread and rust. Most people I’ve heard will wrap their vehicles, which might work if you own your vehicle. The fact that you lease yours might not be cost effective. I know with some leases they buy up to $500 in damages on returning. Look into the fine print hopefully they don’t charge you.
@@jamarcusjoe I went down to a local autobody place and got the quote.....$4000 to do both sides of the truck. We found some places on the bottom that were sand blasted all the way down to the metal. Ouch.
Premium is optional. I use it every time I fill up I can tell the difference. Regular fuel works just as fine. With rising gas prices I may switch for a little while
All I can say it's reasonable. An Oil Change and tire rotation every 7500 miles cost me, on average, $75. You would have to check with local service departments for major services.
No mention of the BIGGEST issue on the Titans? These Transmissions are absolute GARBAGE! No idea what gears they should be in, hesitation, downshifting to first which when stopping pushes you foward if youre not FIRM on the brake. Class action going on about it
Ironically, I called my dad today, and he mentioned he was at the Nissan dealership seeing about his Muranos transmission. My Titans transmission is a little finicky sometimes, but nothing major. I hope there's a fix. I wasn't aware of the class action lawsuit. Thanks for the comment.
You don't know what you're talking about. They flashed it when I went to the dealership. Never had a problem again with it mercedes actually makes that transmission
A naturally aspirated 32V V8 is hard to beat. The 5.6L VK is one of the best engines ever made. It's amazing motor en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nissan_VK_engine
I agree. The amount of options you can get in this truck with 0% interest and best in class warranty is definitely wort considering for any truck buyer. IMO.
I have recently picked up the same truck, same package and options. I'm coming from an SV and a diesel Pro-4x XD before that. I missed the pro-4x package with the SV a lot more than I thought I would. So, here I am, back in a pro-4x. I 've owned 4 Titans all together, had a first gen as well. I'm not sure why I've stayed with them for so long. I would guess it's just the fact that I know what I'm going to get with a Titan, aside for packages and options my 2023 performs very similar to my 07. Yes, I know nissan's paint isn't awesome, I know the interior bits are on the cheap side. It's probably not as refined as some of the competitors. But to me it feels and acts like a traditional truck (just more comfortable). I've never had a serious issue with any of them. (didn't keep the diesel for very long, loved the truck but the cummins and transmission scared me, a warranty doesn't mean much if parts aren't available and you get rid of all of your diesel mechanics). I have 500 miles on the new one and so far, it's what I expected and I'm good with that. Another great video man, keep up the good work!
You are the Titan expert! Ha. I’m impressed that you’re a repeat buyer. I agree with your statement of it may not be as refined as the competitors but the truck is simple and it works. Although, it does have cheap material its not as bad and doesn’t take away from the functionality of the truck. I hope the 2023 P4X serves you well. Enjoy and I’d be curious if you run into any issues.
@jamarcusjoe The zipper-pocket issue is not the truck's fault. Every pickup has some amount of plastic moldings. Even metal trucks parts of yester year wore the paint of excessive rubbing. I'm currently in the market for a new pickup. I got my eye on a 2017 Titan regular cab w/ 8 ft bed. Wdyt...?
Great video, I agree with all of it. I've had 5 Titans, a 2010 King cab, 14 crew cab, an 18 & 19 XD cummins and my current 2023 Pro4x. 2023 is the most comfortable truck I've ever driven, fuel mileage is good for what it is. My only cons are the radio screen connectivity can be spotty and it generally seems to have some gremlins, and the transmission is not to love. I think the trans issues are more related to it being a 9 speed, seems to search a lot at lower speeds. If anyone reads this btw, don't bother with a cummins.
Thanks. Dang 5 Titans! Thats awesome! You are definitely the expert on Titans, past and present. Ha. I agree that the 9 spd transmission has some kinks to work out. My truck has its moments when I accelerate. It seems to be inconsistent when trying to accelerate. I hope your 23 P4X treats you well. Thanks for the comment! From all us Titan owners we appreciate your Titan loyalty. 😂
Very nice truck bro. I had a 2013 SL 4X4 and loved it! Traded in and picked up a 2017 platinum reserve 4x4. Got 14k for my 2013 with 120miles on it. No major issues on my '17 just bought 4 new tires FIRESTONE DESTINATION LE3. rides like its brand new. Overall, I love it. Yes, I would buy a 3rd titan.👍
I appreciate it fam. I will have to buy some new tires soon. I’ll have to check my options. I love hearing folks that stand by their Titans and willing to buy another. I hope your ‘17 treats you well.
Your hood and grille issues make me think someone sat on your hood. Left in a parking lot trucks are kind of a target. People throw shit (like, actual dog shit sometimes) in the bed of my truck, they lean on it, put stuff on it …. People are dicks with other people’s trucks.
I appreciate you and your comment. Im glad the video helped. I have to know if you decide to purchase a Titan and which trim/what you purchase. I plan to post more on the Titan soon. I hope you find the truck you want.
@@jamarcusjoeI just watched your video and appreciate the review. I, too, am considering purchasing a Titan. The decision between a Pro 4X and a Platinum Reserve is a tough one.
@@johnbyrd6476 have you purchased yet? I think its preference. I love my P4X. I've traveled short and long distances comfortably with a family of 4 + 🐕🦺. I love the fact I can go anywhere with my truck and not feel as bad if I get a minor scratch or ding. The PR is a luxury truck in my eyes and I would want to be sure its always pristine. Ha. With 2 younger kids and dog, the P4X is ideal for me. I hope you find the one you want. Let me know what you get!
Nice video, I agree with you on the plastic in the interior- very flimsy and scratches very quickly! I had 2020 Tacoma and my 2023 Titan gets much better gas mpg. The infotainment system i like, i can stand Apple car play- Back up camera resolution is fuzzy, they could upgrade at the factory- not a hard fix But overall 100% I would but again!
Thanks! I can live with how the plastic is peeling now, but I can only imagine how it will look a few years from now. It’s still functional but aesthetically it’s an eyesore. Hopefully, Nissan updates/upgrades many of our complaints. We will see. I appreciate your comment.
@@jamarcusjoeDo ceramic coating from any premium auto brands found at your local Walmart auto store for wholesale prices. Just once a week the car needs a wipe down and cover the front windshield with sun deflector since consistent sun exposure will destroy any plastic material.
I want one. Everyone I talk to says go with the tundra. But tundra is having issues . I want the 5.6 with no cylinder deactivation and no start stop, column shifter , locking diff and the fender audio. They are going for a good price too.
I don't think you'll regret getting a Titan. All those things you mentioned is why I selected the Titan. The Titan is simple, and I’m a simple man. I can deal with quirks. Get one!
@@teke237 like I tell folks, the Titan isn’t everyone’s cup of tea but the folks who love their Titans love ‘em. Im one of those people. Haha. You gotta let me know if you get one!
Great video. I just picked up a '23 Platinum Reserve and just passed 1,000 miles. I love the warranty, leaf springs, column shifter, non cylinder deactivation, V8 and the non Auto-Stop-Start. BTW, Nissan was giving 0% for 60 months. I just wanted a good truck. Great video. Thank you for giving an honest opinion. Thank you good sir.
I hope your '23 PR treats you well, and I'm glad you were able to take advantage of the 0% interest rate, especially in today's market. Everything you mentioned is why I love my Titan. Im a simple man, and Nissan keeps it simple. Im approaching 3 years with my truck, and I can honestly say it is a good solid truck. I appreciate your comment, and congrats on the 1K mile milestone. Ha. Here's to the next 100K miles!
Despite all the news, I plan to keep my 21 fro the long haul. Ill be that guy driving my V8 Titan well into 2030. lol. Im optimistic that Nissan has a plan to replace the Titan. Lets hope anyways.
Was watching the video you did a couple of years ago and guess what? You uploaded an update, just 2 hours old...lol. I also have a Titan, mine 2017 SV with all options incl tow package. I tow a 28 feet Toy Hauler usually around 6K, no problems to date...knock on wood. The main con on the entertainment center was solved with a Phoenix Automotive PX6 and an upgraded rear view camera. Enjoyed your video, new subscriber!
Lol. Looks like you fast-forwarded to the future. Lol. It's good to know these trucks can tow something as big and long as 6k lb and 28 ft with no issues. I agree the camera need a complete overhaul in the next-gen (if there's a next gen). I appreciate you subscribing. I don't consider myself a RU-vidr but ill continue to talk about the Titan. Thank you.
I love my 2017 XD P4X. 91000 miles and no major issues. I use it pull a tractor, fifth wheel trailer and a pontoon boat. I used to have a Lance overhead camper on it and it handled it no problem. I’d buy another one!
I have a Nissan NV 3500 SL which is based upon the Titan. I also had the same issue with the camera that you described. However, I was able to fix it. I found the connection point and put dialectic grease on the connectors and then wrapped the connection with electrical tape. I have never had a problem since. I highly recommend doing that as you may find your problem going away.
Thanks for the advice. I will first have the dealership look at it and then ill take your recommendation. I appreciate you. How do you like your NV? I was actually looking at those for a family travel vehicle. My brother-n-law has one and is all about it. Im curious of your thoughts.
@@jamarcusjoe the NV is my wife's daily driver. She loves it and the kids do as well. We take a double seat out of the rear which still allows us to seat 10, yet it gives us plenty of room for cargo. Even the biggest SUVs just seat 8. We have five kids and they do not like sitting shoulder to shoulder, which is what they would have to do in another vehicle. The v8 engine in it is way more powerful than the Ford Transit. We bought it new and have 115k miles on it. It has been very reliable. Unfortunately they stopped making them in 2021, but you can always purchase a used one.
You can definitely use some compound and polish on the scratches on the hood and you won’t even notice after. Give the whole truck a nice polish with a buffer and it will look new again.
I want to buy one new! These are so underrated but I need to buy a house before I buy one. I’m happy to see an idea some someone who lives their titan!
I would agree. Buy your house first. Keep your priorities in align with your goals. The Titan will be there after and hopefully at a better price after you buy your house. Yes, the truck is highly underrated in my opinion. Still in love with my Titan!! Thanks!
@@conservativetexan2289 haha. Yep. I guess this is what they call adulting. Priorities my friend. When you buy the house make sure you buy a big enough garage to fit the Titan. Lol.
Right now is a horrible time to finance anything,let alone a house. Just keep saving your $$$$$ until we get a real president and a better economy with lower interest rates. You'll save bank if you wait.
I just hit 40k miles on my 2017 Nissan Titan Pro4X on January 4th of 2024. I love it! I use premium in mine as well. I don’t like how the suspension is supposed to be their off roading version but it’s not that great compared to Toyota Tundra’s TRD pro. The TRDs definitely know what off roading is about. I added an android tablet touch screen aftermarket console. It’s amazing 😻
Great to hear! ou hit a milestone mileage! My boss has a TDR Pro, and I can tell the difference in the suspension when I am in his truck. Maybe since I'm used to mine, I prefer the Titan over the Toyota. Im glad your upgrades are keeping the love for your truck alive. Ha.
@@jamarcusjoe Damn Titans are so underrated! I almost bought a TDR Pro until I drove a Titan Pro 4x. Preferred the ride, V8 power and that beefy sound of 8 cylinders. Wish mine had the moon roof thought that's so cool the way Nissan designed theirs for the newer Ttians. Once you have a moon roof it's hard to go without it.
@@amcacertified2038 Yes inded! Other than the marketing im not sure what Nissan couldve done to put this truck in competition with the Big 3. Oh well. The folks that have Titans knowhow underatted the Titan is. IYKYK I guess. Ha. I caught so much flack about having a sunroof/moonroof but its my daily driver so I love it. Youre right, i dont think im going without one. ha. Thanks for the comment.
Like the video. Good comments. I am working on my 5th Titan now. Have loved them all. 2005 2WD S 85, 000 miles 2009 4WD Chrome Edition 185,000 miles 2018 XD Platinum 4WD Cummins, 110,000 miles (Chipped and broke crank)my fault. 2020 SV 4WD 48,000 miles(Great truck, but was a little lacking compared to the Platinum XD, and had cheap leveling kit added at dealer that made it ride rough 2021 Pro 4x Just turned over 75,000 miles and is a great truck. Other than what I did to the diesel, no major mechanical issues on any of them, no paint issues with any of them, and I washed them at least once a year whether they needed it or not. If I had unlimited funds, I would by a couple of Pro 4x models for off road and everyday, couple of Platinum XD 4WD models for traveling and towing, and a 2wd Platinum to lower and add a NISMO Blower. At my age, I would be set for life. :)
Yes! I want to be like you. It’s great to hear that you’ve had multiple Titans and no major issues and still would buy a couple more. You’ve had the gambit of Titans and could properly talk to each one of them. I think we need more folks like yourselves to share the success stories of the Nissan Titan. I appreciate you sharing your experiences/thoughts. I am more of a believer of the Titan seeing the amount of miles you’ve accumulated on your trucks with no major issues! I hope you get those 2 titans and put 100k+ miles on them, with no issues.
An easy fix for damaged plastic panels, vinyl wrap, I did pretty much the same thing to a door on one of my cars and that is how I repaired it. Nice thing with that repair, you can pick any color or pattern you like and most those plastic panels are easily removed. Makes doing the wrap on it really easy.
Thanks for the recommendation. I may have to look into the wrap. It's something I've thought about in the past but never really gave it too much thought. If I decide to wrap, I'll definitely vlog it. Ha.
@@jamarcusjoe I just got a new Titan myself and i'm tall like you as well, so my knees sit right in the same area. Seeing you have this issue has made me think about wrapping some of the interior panels before I can damage them and get annoyed.
My dad has a 2018 Titan XD Gas Platinum Reserve. His truck developed a ticking noise and I got on him to get it into the Nissan dealer. His truck has 45K. That 5 year 100K warranty saved him big time. 5.6 Engine 2017-2018 have low oil pressure issue in the #7 cylinder and this is common according to the dealer. They had to replace the engine with a new long block. Between parts and labor I think it was over $8K. Took 2 weeks to fix. Nissan only offered a 12 month 12,000 mile warranty on it. I figured a 3 year 36,000 mile warranty. Other than that its been a decent truck for him. Also he had the 20" chrome wheels replaced under warranty due to the chrome flaking off. He gets 13mpg but he doesn't drive it much and he has BFG ruggedtrail tires on it. This is my dads 2nd titan. 1st one was a 2004 LE crew cab.
It's good to hear the warranty worked out for your dad. I've also heard similar issues with the #7 cylinder issue, I believe it affected 2020 models and older. Regardless it was covered. No truck will be perfect but at least Nissan will stand by their products. Thanks for sharing.
@@johnbernacki6155 yep. 2024 is the last year. I keep saying that since Nissan is pursuing an EV future I think the Titan will reemerge as an EV. I’ll keep my V8 until then. Ha.
I am a newcomer to your channel and I am looking around for a pick up so far Nissan titan is the only naturally aspirated V8 that I know of. I love the options in the simplicity of the truck. Please keep us informed of pros and cons. Enjoy your channel.
I believe you can find some naturally aspirated V-8s in other brands but may be older year models. To your point about simplicity, is the reason I love my Titan so much. No start stop engine cutoff just raw on demand power with decent mpgs. I hope you find the pickup you want. I’ll definitely keep you updated. I appreciate you checking out my channel.
I hate that they are ending Titan after the summer of 2024. I have a 2017 SL, and it has been the best truck I have ever owned. I have owned Toyota, Ford, Chevy, and Ram. None of them stood up to my Titan in the means of reliability and warranty. I also average close to 19.8 MPGs city, and 23 HWY on regular fuel. My engine is well broken in just right with close to 70K miles. The only issue is the paint, as it is failing fast, with the clear coat having issues. For the value you get vs the others, it's a steal of a deal.
Someone such as yourself that has owned/driven the gambit of trucks and can say that the Titan is a good deal reassures me. I appreciate you sharing. Im finding more nicks on my Titan, and it's a bit concerning. With its quirks, im still a fan of Titan. I hope the next 70k miles give you no major issues.
Solid video. Appreciate your real world experiences and comments. Not buying until the end of 2024. Debating between a mid-size and a 1/2 ton to tow a small camper (2,900 loaded) plus hauling camping gear. Actually, I would prefer the quad cab with the 6’ bed. Just my wife and I. Don’t need a crew cab. I want more space for camping gear in the bed and topper. I will shop the Titan in addition to other brands. BTW, what is your payload? Thanks again.
Thanks! Putting myself in your shoes I would lean more towards a mid-size because a 1/2 ton for your camper would be overkill. On the flip side I would go with a 1/2 ton because of the versatility. You may want to tow something bigger. Also, the gas mileage on the Titan is not that bad compared to your midsize trucks. Definitely go shop around. I’m interested in what truck you decide to buy. My payload is 1142 lbs. the panoramic sunroof and running boards decreased my payload capacity. I hope you find what you want.
@@jamarcusjoe hey thanks for the response and sharing your payload. I have plenty of time to figure out what we want to tow our camper. We currently have a midsize SUV with a V8 that is rated to tow 7,500 lbs. It has been a great tow vehicle, but with nearly 160,000 miles, it will be time for something different by the end of 2024. I really want a pickup truck, not an SUV, for our next tow vehicle.
No problem! I hope you get the Titan you want and that it treats you well. You gotta let me know how you like it when you get it. Thanks for the comment.
Ahh, I have a 2006 Titan XE Crew cab purchased with 4 miles on it, now 247,986 miles. This has been an excellent truck, many road trips. I have replaced a few parts, but over all, a great vehicle, would buy another one in a heartbeat. Just hate what most dealerships have done to the car market being so Greedy. Maybe we as consumers should order directly from the manufacturers.
That’s great to hear your Titan has treated you well all these years/miles! Praying for many more. I also hate the fact that dealership are marking up vehicles. Hopefully the market will decrease soon. Thanks for the comment.
I drive my 06 for my maintenance business. 288k miles with lots of towing. Same issues with painted plastic inside. But its rock solid work truck. My truck gets 12-15mpg as i use it. 16-16.5 on Intestate highway cross country w/ cruise set and bed covered. Towing a landscape trailer i get 8-10mpg so 12 loaded is good. Looking into a slightly used titan or xd for next work truck
I’ve noticed a lot of older model Titans used as work trucks. I guess that’s good to see and hear that they stand up work vehicles able to take the abuse. Wow! 288k miles and still going! That’s impressive. Hopefully you can find that used Titan, I’m rooting for you! Thanks for sharing!
If I could do it all over again, I would’ve gotten the XD. I’m glad your Titan is still serving you well. How’s the ride quality comparison to your GMC? I’ve always had an appreciation for the GMC Sierras, specifically the Denali. How are you like it?
I haven’t. At least nothing serious. IMO, with the right tires and load out , I’m sure you will have no issues. 4H and 4L with a rear locking differential makes this truck capable of what you’re looking to do.
Im a believer that if you take care of your vehicles, your vehicles will take care of you. I believe your Titan will make 500K miles. Examples like yours, give me the warm fuzzy my truck will last for awhile. Thanks for sharing!
Damn your truck already same mpg as my frontier 😂 2015 sv I have off road tires pretty aggressive falkens i get 21mpg when i fill up. Where i live in Hawaii a lot of mix driving but traffic hits real bad on Kauai mostly one road on the island. Why i want to move up to a titan already know id be avg the same as my current frontier. Also doing house work would be easier. Plus a lot more frontiers now on the road so dont feel as special 😂.
The one thing I've noticed with the Titan off-road is that it guzzle's gas a lot more. If you did go with Titan you may drop down to 15-16 mpg. If size of the truck isn't an issue get one! Lol. I hope all is well in HI.
I appreciate the comment. The Titan might not be everyone's cup of tea, but it's worth test-driving and comparing. I was dead set on getting a GMC AT4 until I test-drove the Titan and looked at the price disparity. I've never regretted my decision. After 3 yrs and 58K miles, it's still going strong. You gotta let me know if you decide to get one. If you want more payload and towing capacity, check out the Titan XD. Good luck!
I’ve driven an F-150 a couple of times and GM trucks several times. If I had to make up my own word to describe the ride quality compared to GM/Ford would be a comfortable-stiffness. But it may be the Pro-4X package and the Bilstein shocks. The zero gravity seats make up for it. I can sit in Nissan seats on an all day drive. I think you will be pleasantly surprised at the ride comfort. The Titan feels planted to the road even driving at 75-85 mph. I would definitely take one on a test drive. I would be curious of your thoughts. Let me know if you get one or test drive one.
I agree with the comments on the personal user view. I've been flip-flopping on what to get coming from an '08 Armada LE. It's videos like this that damn near seal the deal for me. And then I watch a video on something else and think maybe that's what I want. The warranty and the sound of the V8 just keep me coming back to it. I test drove a '24 a few days ago and although I think my Armada is a little smoother ride, I think I would be happy with the Titan. I see sooo many positive comments on them I just don't think I'd be happy in anything less.
Your truck looks nice in the black. I got the 21 pro 4x in red and there’s a 13inch infotainment touch screen designed for this truck that I’m gonna get in a couple weeks.
@@otisboromii1041 having those paint chips are a bummer. I'm glad its not spreading I may look into some kind of sealant so that it doesn't rust or spread. Overall I hope you're enjoying your Titan.
@jamarcusjoe good idea.. I'm going to look into that as well. Thanks I am enjoying it. I'm a month or so into owning it but it's been great for me so far.
Might do a review on my 2022 pro 4x when I get back home 2-3 weeks from now. On the payload note, it can most definitely handle a master craft boat which is good enough 🏆
I read on some online forum of a Titan owner that put over million miles. 3 secrets: Amsoil oil change every 5k (year round). But any other oil brand synthetic 3k If not towing... Trans/differentials/Radiator/transfer case fluid every 25k If towing/commercial use... Trans/Radiator/Differentials/Transfer Case fluid every 20k (summer) vs 15k (winter due to salt residue). 91 recommended or 87 with fuel additive. Thats it. The truck will go a million miles on that V8 NA engine/transmission no questions asked. Walmart Auto Services can do the services for pretty cheap price.
That's impressive. I believe it! I've had 5 different NISSAN vehicles and they are the easiest vehicles to maintain. As long as you keep up with the routine maintenance schedule the vehicle will run. I plan to keep my Titan for a long time, no plans to get rid of it any time soon.
I have a 2008 Titan with 130k miles I bought brand new. Other than normal wear and tear and some cosmetics I’ve NEVER had an issue with the power train. Hell I’ve never even changed the tranny fluid or done an engine tune up and it still runs solid! Just bought a 2024 pro4X 👍🏼
@@goatEyEz83 I love you hear it! I hope your new to you Titan runs as strong as your last. Im approaching 70K miles and still loving mine. I'm def keeping mine for the long haul. I appreciate your comment
If I was getting a truck defintely Titan is on the list. New toyota trucks reliability has gone out the window. I own a 93 nissan 300zx Twin Turbo, gx460, Tesla Y, and have owned many older lexus in the past.
I've heard a few issues with the new Tundra and the new engine. I like to keep things simple, and the Titans V8 is as simple as they come, tried and true. I haven't had issues with the Titan V8 engine. You have some solid vehicles! If you get the Titan you gotta let me know. Thanks for the comment.
Im looking between 18-21 year models, since they're the ones in my budget and would love to own and feel the raw v8 power but i too am a MPG person that cares about that. Is 17-18mpg city good or great for that size of a truck and i do come from a 4cyl midsized suv that does 20-21mpg city. I dont plan on hauling anything
Personally, I would go with the 2020+ since that was the last refresh and the newest transmission. Either way, you will get a strong V8. I avg 17 mpg in the city and will get 20-22 mpg on the highway with the family and luggage. Which is pretty good for truck standards. I will caveat that I do put premium fuel (93 octane), which gets me those numbers. You gotta let me know if you decide to go with the Titan!
Hey there, I just got my 2023 titan. We took it for a family trip from Phoenix Arizona to Hollowman Airforce base. Round trip about 1000miles. I feel that there is a slight vibration and it bounces Is that normal.
Good ol' Holloman AFB. I've been there once or twice during my career. Ha. Im not sure of the vibration. I will say that when I first got my truck, it was pulling to the right pretty good which caused vibration above 60 mph. I took it to the dealership, and they fixed everything. They told me that if there were any issues with the truck in the first 12 mos/12K miles, they had to fix it. I was unaware of that, but Im glad they did. It rode so much smother afterward. As for the bounciness, I would ask the dealership if that's normal. The Pro-4X models tend to have a "softer" suspension IMO. I hope you are able to resolve the issues.
I got a 2021 titan s crew cab in dec only 18k miles on it basically new.. had no clue about trim levels or anything else... my advice if your getting a titan go for the XD seems all the parts/aftermarket stuff was made for the XD .. getting parts/aftermarket for S model is pretty dang hard. On the positive side as the OP video poster mentions since I have a basic S model I get the most towing capacity and longer vehicle life span as there are less electronics to fail less bulbs to change etc.. .overall will get more life from the vehicle as less moving parts in general. My choices was this 2021 titan s which I got that had 18k miles on it or a 2017 XD with like 45k miles on it.. had I known anything about trim levels I would have taken the 2017 XD with 45k on it...not knowing anything about trim levels at the time I took the one with 18k miles on it that was leased to 1 person for a year. At the end of the day .. I still got a very nice truck with 18k miles on it though.. so ... : ) I love driving my truck it just feels nice.. I also got offered to fix my product recall notice.. I declined them at the time.. its the airbag recall.. I would rather them leave a working truck alone and working.. I have heard some stories about dealerships messing up people's vechiles when they do free work because if nothing else they simply have poorer work habits as they don't care since its free. You having steering issues after your recall work just says to me I def should make sure the dealership that does it is known to only do quality work. If there are any cons it would be parts for basic models is very limited.
All that matters is that you love driving your truck. I agree with your points, especially getting the XD. If I could do it all over again, I would get the XD. But I'm sticking with my Titan for the long haul since I have my non-XD. Regarding your point about the S being simple, Titan overall is as simple as it comes compared to other truck brands. With that, we will outlast the competition. I hope your Titan treats you well. Thanks for the comment.
Thank you for the insight when towing a Pathfinder behind you at 7K lb... Towing cars around would be the main reason I am buying a truck. 12-13MPG at that weight and having an SUV behind you as a wind sail versus a normal car is pretty good mileage!
My Titan handled towing 7K lbs like a champ! If you plan to use it for towing cars, I would go with the XD model. It's a solid platform for those types of loads. I recently moved again and towed a 4.5K lbs tandem axle trailer, and again, the Titan handled it with ease, even at 75 mph. Thanks for the comment.
I have a 2019 Frontier Pro4x and am thinking of upgrading to the Titan. I want to like the F150 but have heard too many horror stories about it breaking down. IMO, the Titan is the most underrated truck on the market.
There are so many good truck options, including the F-150. I have heard horror stories about almost all the brands, including the Titan. I've been fortunate not to run into any significant issues with my Titan. I still love driving it. It's definitely an underrated truck. Have you upgraded? If so, let me know if you did.
I have a 2020 Titan SL with 67k miles and despite them being discontinued in 2024 I will be keeping mine for the long haul. I haven’t had the issue with the camera yet, and fingers crossed I won’t😂.
Yessir, I don't plan on giving my truck up anytime soon. I just hit 54K miles this week and still rolling strong! I hope you stay camera issue-free. Ha. See you on the road.
