Nissan Titan Pro-4X vs Toyota Tundra TRD Pro - 2020 Comparison 

Both trucks are MADE in USA , yet people scream 'Merica when talking Ford, Ram and Chevy lol

For me personally I love the Tundra, but DAMN Nissan got it right with this truck, I can't not compliment it.

I like the Titan. 5 year 100,000 mile warranty

Both are nice Trucks you can’t go wrong with neither

It’s not a Ford, not a Dodge, not GMC 👍🏻 can’t beat Japanese quality and reliability! 💯

Rarely is the amazing warranty mentioned that the Titan has... 5 years, 100,000 miles! That alone is worth putting the Titan at the top of your list.

And you can probably get the Pro 4x for about $15000 less than the TRD Pro. That would put my emotional attachment to the coolness of the TRD Pro to the test.

Some dumb people in the comments saying one truck is better for a singular reason when the fact of the matter is, it's whatever suits your needs better

Nissan Titan V8 engine sounds very capable, impressive & interesting!

I’ve been daily commuting my Tundra TRD Pro for the last five years. That exhaust never gets old lol

Can't take a truck reviewer seriously unless he has a full beard and a beer belly...lol.

Titan hands down!!! You get much more truck for the money.

I own a 2004 Titan and it’s still a very strong reliable truck and wouldn’t hesitate to buy another. I like what Nissan did with the 2020.

I can’t say I agree that the exhaust gets old on the Tundra TRD Pro. I love it. Also, I don’t see the steering being loose on my 2020. Mine tracks very straight.

I've been researching half tons for a while now. Nissan wasn't even on my radar. I'm not a Ford guy. More of a Chevy guy but their interior is cheap ass and having a nicely loaded '19 Blazer I didn't want to lose some of the creature comfort items. I don't have trust in Ram reliability and the Tundra is aged. I gave Nissan a hard look last weekend and bought my first Nissan ever, 2020 Titan Pro 4X in white on Labor Day. It has everything I wanted and for what they include as standard like blind spot monitoring, rear cross traffic alert, and other driver safety features it's hard to beat. Add in that great sounding great running 5.6 V8 and it's a no brainer. Toyota Tundra design is now behind the Titan. Thanks for the review.

FYI, Nissan was regular top contender for Paris-Dakar Rally. Toyota didn't even come close till they entered Baja 1000. Both are very very good trucks at the price - you will NOT regret getting either.

I'd take the Titan Pro-4X in desert tan color over any outdated, rough ridin', gas guzzling Tundra TRD-Pro. The Tundra is just butt ugly with those two fake hood scoops.

The Nissan loses because it doesn't have fake hood scoops!

Titan owner here. Switched over from an F-150. The Titan's steering is so heavy its almost uncomfortable at first, and takes some time getting used to... but you really begin to appreciate it after a short while. Now I don't feel like I could go back to a light steering truck, just to many little constant corrections required to stay in your lane. I'll admit it, the Titan spoils you. xD

toyota with no rear locker is just meh, never though i would say pro-4x is a better choice here.

Titan Pro-4X all day

I have a 2021 Nissan Titan Pro4x and it is hands down the altimate pickup between the two. The power alone is amazing and will smoke a tundra.

That exhaust note from the TRD never gets old! Lol I prefer the Tundra.

I love both of these trucks I personally have an 07 Titan with 230,000 miles doing just fine maybe I’ll upgrade to a 2020 after this great video

i'd rather get the Titan.

I love my Tundra TRD Off Road limited Crew ‘17. No problems in 33k miles. This is an old school truck, looks great, drives well. This is my favorite vehicle. It is used for vacations, hauling, and horse shows. I like all trucks but am satisfied with my choice. I am always taking the Tundra whenever I can. My daily driver is a BMW X5. That drives better, but the Tundra is much more useable. When the X5 reaches its end, I will be keeping the Tundra as a daily driver.

Techical fact......No truck can ever be useful offroad unless it has either a fake hoodscoop and / or orange painted tow hooks! And let's not forget the air intake snorkel for when you drive your 65k truck into muddy water up to the windshield!

Guys, I appreciate you taking the time out to review these trucks. I don't understand the logic in your review. The Tundra is going on 10+ years without a major refresh, has a smaller engine, less horse power, less gears in the transmission, no locking diff, less miles per gallon, less features and functions, Shorter warranty period, The only thing more in this Tundra is its price. I'm afraid to see how you 2 would do a comparison between an iPhone 4 vs a Samsung S20. Its not emotional appeal, its brand bias.

I drove a tundra 2015 4.6 the other day trying to change my Titan 2015 and I just fall in love with my truck again🤩 I haven't drive the 5.7 but I'm looking forward...but right now my vote it's for the TITAN 💪 so under rated.....you have to drive it ...

Titan all the way

I didnt see any off roading? Everything you did there can be done on a Prius.

Excuse my bad English folks. I purchase a brand new Titan sv 2017. At 17000 kilometres, the engine begin knocking. At 24000 kilometres, in June 2019, Nissan replace my motor (short block). Now this month at 35000 kilometres my motor knocking again. It is always the cylinder number 7 who is problematic. Real epidemic trouble. In my small town we are 3/3 with this trouble. On Facebook pages, I’ve seen A LOT of cases, I see guys who are on third motor on 2018 model. Also see people with this problem on 2019 model (Titan, armada.) Nissan seems to don’t have a clue about this problem. The 7 speed transmission on 16-19’ model doesn’t works well too, and seems to be change very often . Long story short, run for your life, you can see a video of my titan knocking on my profile. I swear to god, I don’t beat the truck at all really lite works sometimes.

You guys forgot to mention that the Pro4x has a locking rear differential and the Tundra does not

🤣 He said "emotional appeal" while panning the camera over a plastic dash. You can sense his frustration with the out dated dinosaur tundra.

I wish the tundra had more of the bells and whistles than some of the other trucks but I had an 08 XSP and sold it when it had 220,000 miles and now I have a 2016 tundra xsp-x with 160,000 miles. Both have never let me down and I drive 40k miles a year. They are great trucks and I wouldn’t have anything else. I also have a 2000 4Runner with 113k miles and it’s been awesome as well. Can’t go wrong with Toyota!

I always feel like most people find a way to underrate NISSAN TITIAN

I purchased the Titan for my business as a write off, I love the amenities more than the aged interior of the Tundra. The value was undeniable, and you both (reviewers) are more partial to the Tundra. No bedlining, no foldaway step to get in the bed. The Tundra holds it's value, but idk, it's written off as a depreciating asset, or capital tool (whatever your CPA thinks is best). Titan is underrated simply because of Tundra being in the segment for so long, thats it. BTW, RAM trucks are trash anyway, the service centers can never figure what's wrong with them. The Titan will outlast the Ram 1500 with the HEMI. The paint on Nissan is the only strike I would have against it.

You get so much more for off-roading with the Nissan Titan Pro-4X. It provides off-roading tech and safety features that the Toyota Tundra TRD Pro doesn’t even begin to compete with.

I don't think the TRD exhaust is annoying at all, it's perfect

"The steering is heavy!" Well, yeah it's truck ffs! People should stop being whiny sissies for once.

I'm going Titan. Love it.

Ok we looked at both trucks before we bought the titan. Honestly hands down best truck I want to drive. Besides the fact that Nissan is less expensive and I love that my lower back does not hurt when riding or driving in the titan. Now is Tundra a bad truck no but we bought a new 19 for under the price of a used tundra. In my book Nissan will get it for the win.

My truck/SUV ownership has ran the gambit of the most of the top auto makers. Ive had few Fords, a Dodge (when it was still just Dodge), a Chevy and a few Nissans. Never had a Toyota but a couple of close friends have swore by them for years and I will agree they are dependable trucks that give great service and insane resale value (all of which I'm reminded of constantly). However, after looking at all the brands in the half-ton market over the past 6 months, I pulled the trigger on a Pro 4x Titan last week and I couldn't be happier. In my humble opinion, most manufacturers are setup to run about the same nowadays. As long as you take care of the truck, it will "generally" take of you (a horror story can be found for each brand if you look hard enough). For me it came down to personal preference and the deal. I was already in a Frontier, great midsized truck, and was able to swing a better deal staying with Nissan than switching to another brand. I also feel like I got much more up front, for less money, than a "comparable" Ford, Chevy, Ram or Toyota. Especially in the areas I was concerned with (creatures comforts, warranty, capability and price).

Toyota needs to step their game up with the tundra.

I like the Titan more. The 5.6 has been around for longer than the Toyota’s engine believe it or not.

Nice video. I own a platinum Tundra after two f150s. I love it Reliable. Comfortable. Interesting comments about the TRD dual exhaust. I was going to put one on my truck but was worried about the noise.

Bought the Tundra TSS Off road (Gulf states option) it came with spray on Berliner, 20” with aggressive wheels and other cool stuff. Much more comfortable than the Nissan on long distance driving. I also like the auto-dim rear view mirror and headlights. I leave it on tow/haul and it will rocket off a stop sign faster than Nissan. I have also towed a fully loaded 6x12 uhaul trailer from San Antonio to Hampton Va. with absolutely no issues with handling or through the mountains. 2nd week of owning it, had to rescue a developer who drove 35 yards into caleche. Easy-peasy! Also the double cab has a full drop rear glass and best of all, Nissans rust. I haven’t seen a rusty Tundra in NYS yet. We have gotten as much as 23mpg.

I was looking at both the 2020 Tundra and the 2020 Titan. Drove both several times and researched quite a bit. I like the storage and cleaver things like the seats, truck bed design, etc. of the Titan, but the Tundra felt more solid and better built. Also, I prefer the port injection reliability of the Toyota 5.7 over the Titan's direct injection. And finally, I do NOT trust JATCO transmissions; so when Titan put a unproven 9 speed JATCO in the Titan, it gave me great concern. Finally, with Nissan circling the drain in the market, I chose the Tundra.

After doing a ton of research when recently looking for a new truck, I started off wanting a diesel Ram (repair costs REAL high), looked at Titans (not many on the road At All), the diesel Titans are a real mess, and ended up with a Tundra with the 5.7 and lots of goodies on it. LOVE the truck, and if you don't like aftermarket parts, get something else. =) The Tundras are the Jeeps of the aftermarket world and man, the engine really sounds great with some shorties on it! Can't wait to sort out the rest starting with an open CAI.

I would and probably going to go with Nissan. Tundra is dated. Doesn't have useful tow ratings and still lacks a rear locker. That titan is far more capable than that 15 year old tundra

I bought a 20221 titan pro4x loaded with everythg. Luv my truck . Traded in a 2019 maxima Sr. Do not miss it . Happy everything I get in my truck.

Would like to see them in the snow offroading in bad conditions. Both are good trucks, whatever suits your needs. Nissan has done well with their redesign...watch out gm...they are coming for ya

I can see that nothing real made you choosing Tundra over Titan .. it is just kind of emotional judgment ! 😊

The Tundra is more " AMERICAN " made, designed and sourced than any other half ton truck ( all Tundras made in San Antonio Texas also ), however it is owned by a Japanese company ultimately. I own a 2016 Platinum Tundra, did my homework before purchase, was very surprised to learn it was like a virtual tie for " AMERICAN " made with only the F-150, which in rear seat comfort was not even close. Then Reliability, it had to be the Tundra. I do like the Titan look, though many don't. The dual exhaust is wonderful and nothing cruising on highway, and I'm 57 yo, you guys are way to young to even think of the exhaust sound, you want to hear what you bought 😀. Nice review, thanks guys.👍

How is the turning radius compared to each other for the Titan and the tundra?

Good review, cant wait to trade in my bullet proof 17 titan for the new hottie titan!!

Pro4X all the way!

Nothing can beat tundra reliability

Bought a 2023 titan xd . It is by far the highest quality fit and finish truck I’ve ever had. Disappointed they won’t be available when it’s time for another

You are wrong. The 5.7 liter normally aspirated motor with the TRD Pro exhaust sound never gets old!

I know the Tundra is king but I like the Titan better. I too like easier steering. Good comparison.

Part of what makes the Tundra look larger than the Titan, from the front, is how high the top of the windshield is on the Tundra. The Titan, the sheetmetal came down farther in the front. Depending on the seating position, I wonder how this would play into visibility at traffic lights. Would you have to lean forward in the Titan to see the lights overhead?

I like both truck but I chose the Tundra TRD PRO. Why? There were still questions about issues with the Titan which made me pick the Tundra. Couldn't find many people with extensive miles on the Titan to verify if it would compete with the Tundra on Longevity. HOwever, I really like the Titan too....it would definitely be my second choice especially if they offer the incentives on it that were on the 2019 Titan. By the way the exhaust has never go old for me yet on my TRD PRO love it.

Will there be a 2nd part, where you actually go off road?

I like the screen better in the Titan. Both good trucks though

Lockable storage in the rear on the Titan and a pass through for a rifle/shotgun barrel. Not surprisingly...something most reviewers with fuzzy zip up sweaters don't notice.

Titan the real underdog!

Tundra has Fox shocks and a lift in the front. More comparable to a Rebel. While the Titan is more comparable to a F150 FX4.

I am happy with my 2021 Titan I thought I've never owned one Ive always had a ford for the last 15 20 years. Ill l see how it does I'll be honest I don't like the MPG I'm getting at . the Titan feels like if it's turbo charge or something lol (I don't know what that feels like either) the power its always there I don't know if I like that yet 🙂😁 planning to enjoy it thoug cheers!

Can the traction control on the titan be turned off?

That Tundra interior is barely more modern then a Frontier. That vertical plastic trim is Frontier all the way.

My money was spent on the 2020 tundra, better return when you go to sell and my Toyota's require little to no repairs

Which one has better visibility (for the driver)? It seems that the Tundra has a larger windshield, so at least front visibility is better in the Toyota.

Can't go wrong with either one.

Is it really a fair comparison given the trd pro costs over 10k more?

Toyota has done a great job marketing the Tundra TRD PRO. It does look much cooler than the Nissan, except the dashboard the Titan wins!

Great review! This channel should get more subs!!

I hate road noise. My 2010 Silverado is so loud. I’m on the fence about what 1/2 ton to purchase. In this video, the Tundra was much louder inside riding on the back roads (before the rear window was opened). The Tundra was definitely taller next to the Titan. I agree, aftermarket options abound for the Tundra. I dislike the light steering on the Toyota. There’s a pedal commander for the Titan. That would help with throttle/transmission response.

I have a TItan XD Pro4X and its been a awesome truck

This is the most subjective review I've ever heard.

You need to know the heritage tundra shares an engineering you can only find in land cruiser And therefore you’ll be satisfied knowing the great product Toyota brings on the table I never owned before a Toyota and before I got my tundra I owned a lot of Chrysler’s and jeeps and I love What jeeps are having overland and trailhawk trims until I had a ram truck I felt the need to upgrade and researched so much I was looking for a tundra trd pro at the end I ended up with a trd off road 1794 which I love to dead I put it simple Toyota it’s a top dog in the industry has a top place as manufacturer if you learn it’s among the best 3 in the world as a brand now you know what you getting I admit ford and gmc are great too but they lack in what the Toyota brings it’s a reliable product with bulletproof qualities

It's interesting that the two of you had completely opposing opinions on the drives of the two trucks in comparison to each other.

You guys are ridiculous. You touted the Titan in every category over the Tundra and yet you choose the Tundra. Last time I watch your channel.

Lies the exhaust never gets old lol

Bilsteins a great shocks. Replaced my Ranchos and there was no comparison.

Good time to have a big V8 engine. Even cheaper gas coming soon.

So, what I hear being said is that the Nissan Titan is more of a luxury vehicle and the Toyota Tundra is more of a working vehicle. Is this accurate?

Tundra used to be more “American” but part suppliers have apparently changed. The transmission and engine of Tundra are built here in the USA but if I remember correctly the engine of the Titan is Japan no? The new 9 speed is a Mercedes transmission as Nissan can’t afford a totally new inside house transmission... why did the Armada not get the 9 speed upgrade?? I liked my a Tundra but my job changed and my commute doubled so we spent a lot of time at the pump.

The comments about the tundras exterior being outdated, go get a Cadillac. It’s a truck.

Good review except for the off-road test. That’s where I’d take my Honda Civic to test traction control.

On the next show, we will take a Corolla and a Sentra off road and let you know which one we like best 👍🏻

You can still get the Titan as shown in this video in 2023. Toyota radically redesigned the Tundra now and I like it a lot less. For those wishing they could still get the old school Tundra with the V8, the Titan is the closest you will get. Also, the Titan Pro4x is now by far the most bang for your buck among trucks. You get one fully loaded for $10-15k less than upper level Fords or comparable Toyotas.

I REALLY LIKE THE TITAN THE TUDRA NEEDS A UPDATE ! I JUST wish THEY would UPDATE the FRONTIER like the NEW TITAN and I'd Buy the FRONTIER LOADED (more for less)

Nisssan & Toyota will always be top competitors Ford, Chevy, gmc can’t compete

Countryside looks beautiful with that snow. Where is this?

This review overall gives me a Toyota bias vibe which really is hard to criticize when the Toyota rep is great but in today's world tech and value they didn't really mention that at all for example stereo sound system, camera systems, or steering wheel amenities. Also that's a TRD pro why not compare it to a "TRD offroad" but yeah that's what I mean

You can put storage under the backseat of the tundra

Nice, a head to head against two of the only full sized trucks not owned by China.

So you're picking the less crash-worthy, less comfortable, slower, less-efficient, less luxurious, partially optioned truck because... feelings? The Nissan has a 9 speed now that I think goes in some Mercedes products. Toyotas are pretty durable though, so I can't fault the thought there, but when you said the knobs will work great with gloves I couldn't help thinking that you'll need them with the cold, unheated steering wheel :-). Thanks for the review though. Enjoyed it.

Does the Pro4X have a rear locker? You tested two off-road specialty models with zero info of what makes it them off-road worthy.
