- This Titan is an amazing truck and I'd imagine incredibly capable off-road! Let me know what you think, did Nissan do enough to update the truck?

Great honest review. I am entering the ministry myself. Make sure you do great research on your own. You can learn a lot more as a minister when you are doing your own studies and putting it to the test.
Absolutely! I've been doing a lot of biblical study on my own and kinda preparing to dive into college where I feel like I'll be tested more deeply on the stuff I'm teaching myself now. Any prayer requests for yourself? Other than if you should go into ministry of course!
@@AlphaShark thanks I am good. Field ministry is my passion. I enjoy it wherever I am. The mall, Walmart, festival, barbershop, apartment complex etc.,
@@johnhaslett6714 that's awesome, you go John! If we don't ever meet on this side, I'll see you up there!

I was going to subscribe right up until you mentioned "god". I cannot support a person who is using religion to make money. Sorry. Peace be upon you.
@@Sig721Tau Interesting Ted, I'd like to explore that a bit more. I merely wanted to thank God for what I believe he's blessed me with. The entire review isn't based on God, and I don't feel I "use" my beliefs in the video other than a mention. I simply make money because of my truck reviews but I also believe in God... With your logic that means you won't see a Chris Pratt movie because he also believes in God? Like you won't support anyone who has a job but also happens to be religious?
That roll was the best intro I've ever seen 🤣🤟🏼
There was 3 other takes where I rolled but I wasn't fully in frame. So there I am outside a busy Nissan Dealership just rolling around in the parking lot! I am very committed to being silly even if it means I get weird looks in public.
💯💯😎😎
I love this truck. I bought a 2019 Titan Pro 4X. I kinda wish I would have known that Nissan was coming out with a refresh in 2020..i would have waited. I still love my Titan though.
I'm coming back to this video just to share that last week I traded in my beloved F-150 for a 2018 Nissan Titan Single cab. It really was kind of the perfect storm, single cab Titans are incredibly hard to find and one happened to pop up in my area, further, with the pandemic going on dealerships are desperate and willing to make a deal and banks are offering really low-apr loans... to put it simply, I got an amazing deal!
I must admit, I originally just wanted a single-cab Titan because, with less than 7,000 of them made in the 3 years that they were produced, single cab Titans are among the rarest mass-produced pickup trucks of the 21st century! (Everybody and their mother drives an F-150, but I am now one of fewer than 7,000 people on the face of the planet that drives a single-cab Titan!)...
But I must admit, I'm actually incredibly impressed by this thing! For a base S model single cab truck, its very well appointed. and very comfy (my '13 F-150 XL was completely devoid of any soft-touch materials whatsoever, but the Titan has soft-touch door panels and arm rests! ) My only major complaint so far is that the steering is waaay too heavy for a half-ton pickup truck, in my opinion.
Just thought I'd share. Keep up the great work!
Dave thats freakin’ rad! And I was along for the whole story. It is DEFINITELY cool to own a single cab Titan! I had no idea they were so rare. I was gonna ask if it was an S or SV, But you answered it! I am actually going to look at reviews of those now because I’m genuinely curious to know more. Sounds like you got a winner on your hands! I’ll pray it lasts you a long time and serves you well!
@@AlphaShark Thanks man!
Yeah, Nissan said they discontinued the single-cab for the 2020 refresh because it only made up about 5% of Titan and Titan XD sales. Between 2017 and 2019 a total of 134,897 Titans and Titan XDs were sold, 5% of that number is 6,745.. (Really, though, I think Nissan is partially to blame because they just didn't build them and send them to dealers.. my local Nissan dealership told me that they never once had a single-cab Titan on their lot that wasn't specifically ordered by a customer.)
Anyways, yeah, it had a lot going for it. In 2018 the Titan was the only half-ton that came standard with push-button start, the only half-ton that came standard with power windows, the only half-ton that came standard with a sliding rear window, the only half-ton that came standard with a dampened tailgate, the most powerful standard half-ton (and one of only two that came standard with a v8 as the Tundra also came standard with a v8, but a much smaller and less powerful one.), and the only half-ton single cab that came standard with an 8-foot bed, which, by the way, at 8'2" was also the longest available bed among all half-ton pickups.... all of that while also being cheaper than similarly equipped half-tons from the competition and boasting the best warranty in the truck business (5 years, 100,000 miles... another reason why my truck was such a steal... it still has 3 years, 2 months and 79,000 miles of warranty on it xD)
What really puts a smile on my face, though, is the thought that if I'm driving down a country road, or stop off at a little ma and pa shop, there is a very high probability that mine is the only single cab Titan that has ever driven down that road/stopped at that shop and likely will be the only one that ever will! Who else can say such a thing??
Its not nice to brag, I know... but I don't think its wrong to be excited. If you got it, flaunt it! Right? xD
I bought this exact truck. I kept avoiding it but once I saw it in person I loved it.
brad beasley wait this exact one? From Rothrock? 😂
An honest and Godly man with a great sense of humor. You are a rare breed and just picked up another fan! Best wishes going forward.
Thank you so much, you have no idea how much comments like this encourage and uplift me and show me that God has me right where he wants me. And it allows me to be a witness doing what I love and reviewing trucks!
You’re the only one that I’ve seen mention of the speed limit sign recognition . Thanks 👍
It’s a gimmick honestly. I was amused by it for about a day, then I remembered, I have eyes.
My buddy had a titan in the 2010s. Glad to see it’s still a gargantuan monster
You rolling into the video made me smile. Congrats on half a million views.
Aww sweet! I'm just so happy I can entertain people through all these trying times and make them happy. And thank you! Half a million views is a crazy thought. I actually just crossed 600,000 yesterday I think, and to get to a million views is going to be surreal
You seem driven and ready to take on the world. It is comforting to know the next generation has a few positive stars out there. Keep up the work ethic, hope to see you on tv or even the big screen one day.
You know Fernando, that was my dream. Isaac's dream was the big screen, but God steered me towards ministry because I knew that if I went into Hollywood it would be for me, for my self glorification. I wanted to show all the people that bullied me in the past and people that didn't like me that I was "cool" and like look at my wealth! But God showed me that wasn't why he made me, and I realized even if I did make it to a Star Wars movie or something that I wouldn't be satisfied. So I decided to use my gifts for talking to kids not only about Jesus but about their lives and helping them when they might not otherwise have positive influences. And God blessed me with the success of this channel because I decided to go back to college this fall for Youth Ministry, I am a firm believer that I NEVER would've had this level of success were it not for me following what I felt God lead me to do. (Now if he does ever open the door to a movie or TV role, after a lot of prayer I wouldn't be opposed to it!)
did pigs start flying? a truck review that didnt start with tropey guitars blaring bad country tunes?! this man will be a legend.....SUBSCRIBED!
*that gave Isaac an idea, an awful idea, Isaac had a wonderful awful idea.* (Next video starts) 🎶SWEET HOME ALABAMA🎶
Will be? ....or IS
@@sdrcorbu it's hard to be humble when you guys leave comments like this 😂
FYI - gear selector on column shifter is for towing and holding gears when descending. Not really for paddle shifting. Sunroof can just tilt up, moonroof can slide and is often tinted.
Good luck on god's path for you.
Thank you! I knew someone would help me out there. Did not knowing about the column shifter, that makes more sense!
Sunroof is a typically a panel that can tilt and slide, a moonroof is type of sunroof that is panels of transparent glass
@@GIJOE1376 see the comments can't even agree! I know you or PickuptruckPlus is probably right andddd I could Google it. But where's the fun in that? I like the mystery.
@ Alpha Sark Pictures was replying to Pickup Truck Plus Suv Talks comment
@@GIJOE1376 ahhh gotcha
only this guy can make this truck look cooler than it really is lol but this truck and how it's configured is perfect.
Well thank you, lol I agree this configuration of the Titan is perfect. But I was talking with a salesman and he thinks they'll only have Pro4x orders, the base and mid trim trucks are sorta generic and Nissan doesn't have as much of a foothold in the blue collar job world like construction like Ford, Chevy and Ram do.
@@AlphaShark btw... "a sunroof is a panel made of glass or metal installed in the roof of a car, truck, or SUV, which slides open or pops up to allow light and air into the cabin. A moonroof is normally a clear or tinted glass panel that slides between the roof and the headliner." ...basically a moonroof is a type of sunroof but people nowadays use them interchangeably :) I just remembered lol
May the Lord bless you in all you do. Just remember to keep him first above all.
Amen
Like the truck. Having said that, love the honesty and humbleness you display. A rarity nowadays.
In any case, wishing you the best of luck in your endeavors.
Thank you, it's much appreciated to hear that. 😊
Keep up the great videos man, I always look forward to watching your uploads!
Thanks! I always look forward to being able to make you guys smile!
Hey just wanted to say that I started watching your videos(and following your channel) about 4 days ago. The cx30 video drew me in but after that I started from your earliest video.
I have you say that your improvements are noticeable from one video to the next and your quirky sense of humor is shining through brightly.
As for me, I just bought a 2023 Subaru Crosstrek Limited and am enjoying watching car review videos on UA-cam.
Gonna continue watching your car reviews until I reach your newest upload.
That's awesome dude or dudette! (Jayvee could go either way lol) but that's so encouraging to hear. I definitely have seen an improvement too! I am so thankful my mic quality and camera quality have improved. Let me know what else you like or don't like as you continue your journey!
@@AlphaShark
My name is Jerry(from California). Pleased to meet you. I'll definitely comment here and there as i make my way through your videos. Merry Christmas ⛄
I will be buying a full-size truck for the first time. I’ve researched quite a bit on the others but I’m actually considering this as my choice in a couple of months.
Kenn A. Good choice!
Used to be that sun roofs just popped up. Moon roofs slide completely open.
Could be different these days but that used to be the difference back when moon roofs were rare.
I want that Titan!!!
Great review! I'm in the market for a toyato Tacoma and I was looking up reviews when I found you. I literally stopped my research just to watch the rest of your videos. They are very informative and they made me laugh. I appreciate your honesty on all the reviews as well. I plan on buying a Tacoma very soon but I like the TRD package more. I have never had all the interior stuff on a vehicle that it offers and sense I plan on keeping it for a while I'm gonna splurge lol. Thanks again and can't wait for your next video
Thank you so much for your videos you are the best youtuber out there keep doing what you do God-bless✌👑👑😊
Awesome review of a great American truck (Titans are made in Canton MS). Love the hilarious fun tidbits. You are doing an excellent job Isaac.
Thanks!
Is a great looking and working truck, I have a 2017 Frontier Pro-4x and I’m definitely getting the Titan Pro-4x for my next truck. The only thing I don’t like with newer trucks is the locking tailgate when you lock the truck, just seems like one of those little things that could break but all around really nice truck.
TRHenry Vlogs don’t forget! The all new Frontier is coming out next year!!!
Regis Riley I hope they do a good job, the Frontier has been looking good for so long. I hope they make it look just more futuristic I guess to match today’s vehicles but keep the same body style. 🧐
The locking tailgate on my Avalanche was about the only thing I didnt have to replace...it was a 2007 with 300,000 on it when sold. The tech was there a decade ago and is pretty good for the locking tailgates
My favourite video review of the Nissan Pro4X, great entertaining honest review. Fun to watch, you have talent.
This frontier redesign better be revolutionary next year
I agree! Maybe not as "revolutionary" as the cybertrucks 80s futuristic design, but I would want the frontier to have the new 360 safety system, the same amazing off-road capabilities, and a much nicer interior and more modern exterior.
It will be. And Nissan is adding more horse power.
I have a '14 pro-4x (that I love) and am hoping hoping also for a just as awesome fronty. Fingers crossed
You pointed out the side tracks but you missed the ones in the floor. The Nissan utilitrack system is brilliant.
You did point them out in the Frontier video.
Excelente video amigo, te felicito por el buen trabajo que haces, tienes la mejor actitud, Que Dios te bendiga ..!!
The LED forward lighting destroys every other truck on the market. They are so bright, the cut off is as crisp as can be, the high beams are like igniting the sun.
This truck looks sick. The colorscheme is perfect
I agree! I really enjoyed this truck
Thank you for the review !!!! And follow Gods calling he always opens doors he wants for us to go though !!! God bless you !!!
Thank you for this comment 😁 it encouraged me a lot!
Great video brother , i got my 2021 PRO4X XD i love it , will lifted 6" soon on 35s .
A lift on an XD? Does that include a ladder? 😎
I have a 2017 Pro-4x and I love it! I wished it had a sunroof like this one tho!.
All praise to the most high🙇🏽♂️
Amen!
Wasn’t expecting that intro
The only thing that’s stopping me from buying one is the Pro-4X doesn’t come with a front middle folding seat. That’s it. I love the truck other than that but if I’m going to make a large purchase on a vehicle then it’s going to have to fit me and my entire family for road trips and for daily use going places as a family.
Taylor Albaugh smart decision!
This dude is a taller Graham Stephen 😂
I usually get "a shorter Ryan Reynolds or Ben Affleck" lol, I wonder if other UA-camrs get told they look like other people as much as I do. This happens all the time and I've even addressed it in videos.
I want nissan frontier pro4x with nissan gtr nismo engine in it and borla 3" exhaust system with hankook tyres 305/65R18
They need to add a button at the tailgate that allows the user to unlock the truck like on the front exterior door handles
Keep it up, dude! it nice hear God mentioned, rare these days!
That's why I do it! And with the way the world is now, more than ever people should be looking to God! I appreciate the comment, it's rare to get a comment complimenting my belief!
You would be surprised how many believers are smiling and enjoying your great nature, honesty, talents... clearly in the spirit
@@sdrcorbu thank you so much, I felt it in my heart since God blessed me with this channels success I need to give him more credit in these videos!
@@AlphaShark even proclaiming his name is to his glory. It's impossible to know the reach of your work for him.
Think about the fact that the Titan is built in God's country by lots and lots of Christians, maybe some other faiths too, but tons of Christians, who are now more inspired at how much you love their workmanship, and they will serve our master even more so by building even better trucks. I wouldn't be surprised if you don't see a huge jump in Titan truck Sales. Don't be surprised if at that moment when you're standing at the judgment-seat, God doesn't say Alpha Shark you are one amazing truck salesman!
@@sdrcorbu thank you, haha I don't even sell the trucks! I just love showing you guys the features and I suppose in a way that is "selling" you on the truck! But God has blessed me with a lot of abilities! And this is one of the many I'm thankful for. 😁
Moon roof versus sunroof....one opens at night, the other, during the day. ;)
That made me smile, thanks 😊
@@AlphaShark that intro roll was legit….I would encourage you to continue to roll …off screen… prayers your way brother - keep it up!
I think the Tundra and Ram are the only two trucks left in the 1/2 ton segment that don't have direct injection on their engines.
I'm near certain the Tundra will go direct injection for the 2021 model if the rumors are true though.
Great review, nice truck. Cool you're a "holy roller", I'm a Christian too. You should rolled out of the video at the end, maybe next time...😉
Not a bad idea brother 😂 maybe next time!
Hi ,,, I own a 2017 titan xd gas 4x4 sv .... I truly love it .... one gripe I had from the beginning was the weak suspension so I upgraded all 4 wheels with the bilstein 5100 shocks the front I chose the hight model 5100 that gave 2 inches of hight leveling the truck out so was a win win. It's a shame guys choose not to buy the titan partly because they give into pair pressure regardless of their age such a shame .... I dont understand why anyone wouldn't like the shifter on the column it's out of the was hence not taking up space for other useful stuff like more cup holders .... perhaps guys prefer something hard and stout to wrap their hand around with the column being in the center. I wish you the best while in college 🛐☮
Thank you! And I'm glad you love your Titan. This truck is awesome and definitely a consideration for my next truck way down the line.
Brian .....Have you had any problem other than suspension on your Titan? I'm just wondering why so many people that brought the 2019 have already traded it back in? Just like there are a lot of 2019 Ram 1500 traded back in also. Makes me hesitant to try the Titan out. Any information would be appreciated as I have to make a decision this year on a truck. Have Been considering Tundra, Titan, Ram, and F-150. Just finished test driving 3 models of the Tundra last week.

@@dalephillips8250 hey Dale no other issues with my 2017 ,,,, it really depends on if your looking for a truck to tow as I was .... I just had airbags installed 2 weeks ago in eliminate a sag issue when towing I tow roughly 7000 and even though its rated to tow up to just shy of 12,000 I believe it can do it on a perfect day no wind no hills/mountains so in that being my case I stick to the 7000 .... cant say why others jump ship to buy the next same model newer year in my case I would trade mine for the new transmission being a 9 verses my seven although my titan likes 5th gear when towing and I'm sure the 9 speed will as well so I'm staying with my 2017 ,,,, I think Toyota buyers tend to be on the trendy side just my opinion I love the hemi had one in the neser Durango RT as far as buying a ram ..... answer your question I'd buy the titan with the new 9 speed in a heartbeat plus 100grand mile warranty take care.
@@dalephillips8250 p.s ,,,,, my opinion ONLY buy the XD ..... bigger beefier frame and bigger beefier brake system
Great review! What's the color of this Titan? Also, please do a review of the Titan XD Pro4X as well...maybe some driving impressions along with the interior/exterior and comparisons to other like trucks. Keep up the good work!
Color is "gun metal" and I'll keep that in mind for future reviews 😊
Fantastic entertaining honest review, great job. Impressive.
I appreciate that! I am always honest, if I don’t like something I’ll Point it out
Hey Ryan Reynolds awesome truck review, ppl never show the rear seats I appreciate it keep it up love from nyc
Can someone tell em their experiences with Titan's reliability? I'm a loyal tundra fan but I feel like I'm missing out on SO many options with different trucks. I love how this truck looks and what it offers.
A great resource is carcomplaints.com. Users rate the reliability of vehicles over every model year and it says what the worst issue is with each model year and how much it usually costs to fix.
I had a 2007 with 227k miles. No issues. I had a 2017 with 89k miles and traded it in for my 2020 now and both have 0 issues. The titans are the best thing to come from Nissan.
@@Bru946 I'm gonna have to get one after my Tacoma, I really really liked this truck. (But I'm planning to keep my Taco 10+ years)
@@AlphaShark If you are looking for good bang for your buck get a Titan or Ford 2.7. Both great trucks and all mine have proved fantastic.
@@Bru946 see your comments on Titan videos man and like your inputs, wish I was in a position to afford this brand new PRO4X because it looks very nice and that 9 speed transmission could be awesome being from Mercedes. May get a 1st gen and work my way up. I agree about the 2.7, know of some people who abused those and it proved worthy. Also on my list possibly Frontier. Anyways have a good one sir.
I liked this video but you should of test drove it!
mark molina I know! But because of Corona I was sorta rushed in a few of my more recent reviews.
Thats a great colour.
That's a solid roll. Thumbs up.
Thank you, it took at least 4 takes of less solid rolls.
This is a sweet truck for sure
Thanks for the review! It is nice to hear u acknowledge God!
One Cool Dude he’s my Savior! The least I can do is shout him out. 😁
Damn that roll😂 but great video that’s my dream truck I have an 08 titan and I’m in need of an upgrade 🙂
It's seriously an awesome one, I totally understand why you'd want this! It's an awesome truck.
I sell trucks. Where are you located at?
The column shifter is the same as a 2007 Chevy with a 6speed Allison (also gear selectable) so it’s not new haha. Would also be nice if you folded up the rear seats to show us the cargo space in the cab. !Two cents!
I wonder how the workers inside were like when you rolled on the ground😂
Some of them know me pretty well by now, but I told them in advanced I was gonna be stupid outside and "I might do this bit where I'm rolling around" so I hope they were prepared 😂
D best underrated truck.
I agree, I wish it sold better, I’d buy this over the current Tundra and Silverado hands down. I wouldn’t say it’s better than the Ram or F-150 but it slots a close 3rd.
Nice truck! Love the color! 👍good video bud!!😉
"that's just the way it is!" that had me lol
MrBear2073 it took me forever to set that joke up 😂 you should’ve seen me and my brother drag his keyboard and stand out to the middle of a park for that clip.
Nice review I have a 2015 Nissan Pro 4 X. I just like the rear window on Gen 1 then just a slider. Watch out Billie Joel
Awesome. I saw there’s two backseat storage space?? Haven’t seen that before
Yes it's a unique truck
Anyone purchase a used Titan (2018 up)? What was the price you paid??? Issues??? I am thinking of getting a Titan but if im not convinced with my research then ill get a Tundra instead.
Good job bro, nice truck but i dont like the column shifter
Yeah I can see why some people don't! Curiously though, what is your favorite way to shift? The center tunnel? The new Ram's dial? Or like Honda's button design? I should've asked people this before!
I rather button or the ram way
Actually i use center tunnel on my Frontier and it’s good
@@fernandomolina8024 cool! I like the center tunnel on my Tacoma too.
We all have our quirks, I actually like the column shifter.

Moonroof is glass , sunroof is metal, Porsche still makes a sunroof on the 911. Moonroof-lookup see the moon, sunroof keeps sun out when closed.

You are the new DEADPOOL....

Seems like a cool guy but I think he’s color blind. All the accents on the outside and in are orange, not red. As a Tennessee Vols fan this is awesome!💪🏽🍊
Haha There you'd be wrong, I actually turned up the saturation on the video and in turn, it made the red seem more orange! That's my mistake! But thanks for the compliment.

Lol no 😂 if I did, that was the smoothest fall ever.
Yeah he played it off really well 😂
The shifters being on the gear shift is probably the only dumb thing in this truck
Well Done Nissan

How much is this exact truck going for ?
When I get to the front of the beginning of the video it says in the lower part of the screen it's about $61k
Amazing review and Praise God!
Thank you, God bless ya Mikey 👌🏼
Great video good review
however, I would never drive or own a vehicle with the stupid panoramic roof
the truck looks great
The badges always look orange on this truck in reviews yet everyone says its red
Yes it is red, but I color corrected the video a bit. So that's why it looks orange at least on my video.

Wait! No test drive??!! No subscribe.
Some vehicles i do, some I don’t
Having sold only 31,514 units last year, the Nissan Titan is now the worst-selling pickup truck of any description in America, even the highly controversial Honda Ridgeline outsold it last year.
The problem with the Titan has always been that, in most configurations, it really isn't any better than any of the other half-ton pickups, and in some areas, it barely competes with them. This wouldn't be a big deal at all if Nissan priced the Titan accordingly. Unfortunately, they seem to insist on charging nearly as much as the offerings from the Big 3. Nissan's smaller truck, the Frontier, lags significantly behind its competition in most aspects but it is also significantly cheaper than its competition. For this reason, it sells quite well, all things considered.
If you ask me, the only Titan worth buying over the competition, in terms of price and capability, was the single cab long bed base model work truck (which they have cut for the 2020 refresh). I'm surprised more fleets didn't go with the regular cab Titan, it was the cheapest and most capable v8 base-model work truck on the market. That should have been a winning combination.
Personally, I think Nissan is going in completely the wrong direction with the Titan. They are trying to cater to the daily drivers and weekend warriors who use their trucks as family haulers during the week and go camping on the weekends. Ford, GM, and Ram already dominate this segment. Nissan should have doubled down on the bare-bones work truck. This is a segment that the other big brands are leaving and that Nissan already had a very strong offering in. It is simply not good business to try to cram yourself into a crowded market with a mediocre product. Instead, you look at where there are gaps and vacuums in the market and you target those with a very strong product.
Very well put Dave. I can't argue that!
The only thing is that you do NOT want a brand to represent bare bones cars like Nissan is already viewed as. Take Kia for example since they came out with cars like the Stinger and Telluride they have be very very successful recently. Its because they made GOOD cars not the rental base types.
@@Bru946 the problem is that the Titan can't compete with it's competitors in quality or capability at the higher levels. That's why they don't sell, they have premium prices but are nowhere near a premium product. The base work truck Titan was, for the price, far and away superior to it's competition. Before anything else, a company has to make money and offer products that have the capability to make money. The Titan does not make money because it does not sell because Nissan has crammed a mediocre product into a heavily competitive market filled with superior products. This is business 101.
The Stinger is a good car but it's not exactly a sales success. Though, that has more to do with the fact that sedans are selling less and less in general. Pickup trucks are incredibly popular right now. There's no reason why the Titan can't sell like hotcakes... But Nissan has to play their cards right.
Dave I understand your argument for offering a better product and a better marketing strategy, but please be honest about your assessment of the Titan. This truck is just as capable, just as reliable if not more than the domestics. The biggest problem is perception, which people like you keep perpetuating that Nissan can’t compete, that’s utter nonsense. The only areas this truck is lacking is the number of configurations and engine choices, but pit it up against a similarly equipped truck from any other manufacturer and it competes just fine.
@@stevensingleton7866 That's exactly the point, it doesn't offer as many options, it can't tow as much as domestics, it cant haul as much as domestics, it gets worse gas mileage than the domestics, the cab room is inferior to the domestics, and despite all of this Nissan still charges nearly as much as the domestics for the Titan. What can the Titan claim over the domestics? It USED to be able to claim to have the longest bed option of any half-ton truck, it USED to be able to claim to be the cheapest v8-powered half-ton... but not anymore. As far as reliability is concerned, the 2nd gen Titan and Titan XD get a 1-star reliability rating from consumer reports, the only other truck with a 1-star rating is the GMC Sierra HD. Even J.D. Power rates the Titan below every other half-ton truck in predicted reliability.
So what truck of the bigs do you like the best??
Good question, just did a video on it!
One question, is adaptive cruise control standard on the Pro4X? I noticed one of the buttons on the steering wheel looked like the standard adaptive cruise symbol that Nissan uses but you didn’t mention anything and I haven’t seen anyone mention it in there Titan reviews?? My 2017 Pro4X XD might be ready to be traded in!
I believe it does have that but I don't know how I could 100% check for you. 😟
Just watched another video, YES, it finally has adaptive cruise
That was quite and entrance ... lol 😂
Nice review...you don't test drive the vehicles you review? And the only thing is disagree with is when you said "You get Nissan Reliability" atleast these trucks don't have CVTS lol.
Normally I do, but recently because of Corona I've been on a time crunch to try and get as many reviews in as I can, so on my off days I go review to review and I didn't get as much of a commenting response from me driving it so I cut them.
What trim level is this?.
Raymond Reese Pro4-X
Except I want a diesel.
There is the Titan XD Cummins up until the 19' model year.
isn't it orange
It's more red, the saturation is just a little high on the video.
You don’t drive them?
traditionally I do, but because of Corona and seeming lack of viewer interest I wanted to get through my reviews quicker so for this and a select few others I didn't.
Do you think you could review the sv trim
I will put it on my list, though I have a setlist up until this Christmas that I'm filming this upcoming week.
@@AlphaShark dang. Np. God help you.
