I'm getting a 2021 Titan Pro-4x. I've done a ton of research and not married to brand. Its the best value and the best looking one out there. Love it. I think alot of people just stay w the brand they know and grew up with and dont really expand their ideas.
Did you end up getting it. I am with you. I have had a Chevy 1500, Ford f250, Chevy avalanche, Dodge Warlock. I now have a Titan Pro4X and it is my favorite. I think it's the most capable and comfortable. It checks nearly all of the boxes. I had major issues with the F250 and the emissions system. The Avalanche had AC and electric issues. The Warlock trans went out. Zero issues in the Titan. And the ride is much better than all of them.
Love my 2018 Titan. I've got it built out full Leitner ACS, power, Hammerhead bumper, Warn winch, rigid lights, SPOD, RTT.. A full modern overland build out. Two years, two major coast to coast overland and offroading trips. It's easily the most underated platform on the market and the price simply can't be beat. Only downside is aftermarket parts availability, you'll need to be handy in fabrication or modification. Enjoy your truck!
It is a great platform but definitely running into the same issues. Thank you.
Any other country of the world Nissan is a major force offroad. I am not sure why it isn't here. Drove one in Afghanistan for a year and it never let me down.
I love my 2018 pro-4x. Never has let me down and it's a smooth comfortable ride!
I have a 2023 Titan SV 4x4 midnight edition. The 5.6 v8 is a beast. Titan is a solid truck.
Congrats on your Titan! I’m liking my 2017 and it’s been fun upgrading and traveling with it.
I am still sporting my 2006 nissan titan Texas edition 4x4 . 136000 miles on it. Most the known issues have been fixed. Some things upgraded. Aftermarket ironcross bumper with xbull winch and it has taken me everywhere. It is a bit big for some trails so we have to pick and choose. One of the best sounding engines made. Endurance is fact. 🙂👍☕
Big fan of the Titan. Heck that was less money than my Tacoma Trd pro! I will subscribe to see how things turn out.
So nice...
- Absolutely eager too see the build.
I have a Titan XD and always thought it would be a great overland vehicle if more people made aftermarket upgrades for it. Still, with my ARE shell and towing capacity it's a really handy truck. We were able to move from TX to MD with 3 dogs and towing a car comfortably.
Excited for this!
I'm excited to see what you do with this truck. I have a 2017 PRO 4X and love it. I just had my Rocky Road full cover Kicker Sliders put on and the quality of those are fantastic! I also put on a stillen exhaust and WOW! Though if you're looking at stillen if you opt for the black tip it will be bolt on. That's why I got it so I could remove it for off road. Overall I still want a 3 inch lift but love my truck. Good luck 👍
I love my 2017 Nissan Titan, it’s nice being different on and off the road. I will agree with the negatives about it being thirsty and the lack of after asked for the truck.
So far I’ve upgraded the suspension with Bilstein 6100’s and 5160’s with Freedom Off Road UCA’s. Getting a Hammerhead bumper next. Good luck!
I agree with the fact that it’s hard to de-content. My friend’s Macan had Cooled seats.
I’m not in the desert but I am in Honolulu and the tropical sun really heats up leather seats. I always would burn my legs driving my mom’s car with leather seats even through my shorts.
I have a 2017 Nissan Titan pro4x, I’m looking forward for more videos because there’s little about this truck in UA-cam
jose orozco ... I’ve been slowly adding to my ‘17 Titan while doing camping and overlanding trips. I have a few modest videos on my changes to-date here on UA-cam
CK Knife and Tool I have seen your videos and I think what you have done with your gray Nissan Titan is awesome, your truck look nice
And I looking forward to watch more Titan videos of you Ck Knife and Tool and anybody that does overlanding with a Titan
@@brasileno2014 😎👍 Me too jose.
Finally a review on the true value of the Titan. 100% accurate. You can get a whole lot better deal on a Titan Vs the others. Sticker prices are similar but you cannot haggle a Tundra or F150. Lets not forget the best warranty in the industry with their standard 7 years/100K. Can't beat that! I test drove F150, Tundra and Ram before I settled for a Titan XD. It was a no brainer.
Just bought #7. 21 Pro4x 29k miles loaded clean 40k can’t beat it
I've always kinda wondered why people aren't building Nissan. Ive never owned one. But the frontier looks like a great value compared to the tacoma too. Hmm. Got me thinking.
Thanks for the video.
DayTrip Adventure glad we could help!
The steering rack is what kills the frontier for me. Those things probably have the worst turning radius of any vehicle ive ever driven. It really is strange. It almost feels like theres something wrong with it. No idea why they made them like that.
Interesting. I figure there's got to be a reason. Cuz the pro 4x is so much cheaper!
@@DayTripAdventure Yea there's got to be a reason for it. Otherwise they seem like nice trucks. I work at a body shop. And we painted a bunch of 19 frontiers for a local business. And that was the one thing I really didn't like about them. You had to do like a 12 point turn just to get them in and out of the building. Lol
Thats funny and terrible at the same time. Ive been in a bunch of body shops and there isn't always a lot of room 🙃
Thank you for your real world review. I have been looking for a used half ton luxury truck and the big three are soo expensive.
I have decided to set my sights on a Titan Platinum reserve with a 6.5 truck bed.
Cheers.
You are very welcome!!!!
5 years 100000 miles bumper to bumper…..sold
Recently picked up a 2019 SL 4x4 Midnight Edition. After my adventures with the GM twins, I don't miss anything about them. Great experience so far. The aftermarket is sparse all around. Either really expensive or cheap add-ons. Especially since they discontinued the Titan. I'm just getting everything now and hope for the best.
I have the same Titan in black. It's my 2nd Titan and I never had any problems. I love my 2019 Nissan Titan Pro4x. It's a BEAST!! By the way the Titan is built in the US. 🇺🇸
Really looking forward to the build. I have a 2017 Titan and love it. Not a Pro4x but 4x4. But did upgrade to Bilstein 5100 to level it and put bigger tires.
Thank you and very nice. Really is a good capable truck.
Steve Kirkland .... I have the 17 as well and have had fun upgrading and traveling with it. I too did the Bilstein 5100 series all around. Accompanied by a 2” spacer in back, Dirt King upper arms, front leveling kit and sway bar link upgrades.
@@CKKnifeandTool I did the same..its sitting on 33" BFG tires with Fuel wheels and I have a RIGID 20" light bar in the bumper.
I also have a 2014 Toyota 4RUNNER Limited. But no remote start. 😐. I'm a new subscriber and looking forward to seeing more videos on the Titan or 4Runner. 😎👍
Welcome!!!!
Some suspension goodies look at Dirt King Fabrication. Good quality stuff for sure. You may already know but wanted to throw that out there!
Did not know but now I do. Thank you!
I got some DK UCAs on my Titan. Look so slick and are very durable.
I have 3 titans #1 from brand new 2004 4x4 160000 miles only need to exchange the brakes in the beginning of the truck and recently two oxygen sensors and spark plugs #2 2008 extended cabin with 8’ bed 190000 miles just regular services and no mechanical problems #3 it’s my 2017 Titan XD with Cummins with 60000 miles only needed to install new turbo speed sensor and regular services, much better than f-250 and other diesel trucks , I used other trucks Ford Chevy but for long keep I choose Titan
Join the "Nissan Titan (2nd Gen)" FaceBook group. Lots of great people that'll help you out.
I have a 2018 Titan Pro-4X. I love the power, the ride, the exhaust note. Its a great truck. Can't wait to see your build of your Titan. Check out Off Road Warehouse for suspension and other parts for the Titan.
Thank you and I’ll check it out!!!
Jimmy Jones ... I used ORW on my 2017 for Bilstein, Dirt King, and many other upgrades for real suspension. I’ve got a few videos on what I’ve done to-date. Nothing crazy but nice.
@@CKKnifeandTool I am subscribed to your channel and have followed your videos on your mods to your truck. Thanks for what you do.
Just lookup y62/Armadas in Australia they are a beast. I don't see any here modded. The Armadas look so tough.
JBC, Rockefeller??? I love when you guys put your heads together, makes a great rock pile!! LOL 😂
Alex Morales yea right. It’s a great argument for doing research and taking notes...or just wing it!!! Haha. Thx for watching.
Adventure Built Just wing it
Wing it, way funnier! 😂
Have a 21 Titan and it's the best riding vehicle I've ever owned.. would love to do a build. And Tundra has never had 0% for 84?
I'm an absolute Toyota fanboy. I've had my 06 double cab Tundra since 2008. I love that truck and it is solid. I put a deposit for a brand new 1794 Tundra and waited 19 months because Toyota wouldn't build what I spec'd. My neighbor has a Titan. I jumped ship and got a 24 Pro4x XD. Mind you I am keeping my Tundy for the tighter trails but the XD is absolutely, hands down, an absolute beast and value. I pulled my deposit from Toyo and got my Titan for $20k less than what I would've paid for the Toyo. Every checkbox was checked for me and then some. I am deeply saddened to see 24 is the last year of the Titan but I'm glad I got mine.
You’re right - I have a 2004 ZR71 with 216000 miles, motor is great but everything else is falling apart, that’s why I recently purchased a 2020 Tacoma TRD Off-road.
Well congrats my friend. I hope you get double the miles out of the Tacoma. Your ZR71 had a good run.
I can’t believe they’re canceling this truck. I had no budget buying a truck this year and at $60k and $6k off when the other trucks I was looking at were having “market adjustments” of $15-$20k?!?!?! Love this truck. Truth about the sound. My $160k BMW’s audio is way worse and the road sound is just barely quieter. Great truck.
I bent the leaf springs on my 94 Chevy so I think I’m buying my dads 18 titan off him. Definitely a lot more professional and adult looking than my obs lol.
Welcome to the adulting club...hahaha.
Nismo Off-road is coming out with some new stuff at the end of the month for Titan, Frontier & Xterra. You might want to check it out.
Will do for sure. Thx.
Have you found a bumper doesn't stick out a foot in front. I haven't been able to find anything for my 2019
Any follow up on the Tian build? Just curious to see if you were able to find aftermarket for it and if you're happy with it overall? Thanks!
Actually Trevor ended up selling the Titan due to the lack of aftermarket support.
Do it! Nissan didn’t market it very well. And people are brand loyal. Say that I love my Titan.
Iv been looking and haven't seen anything on one I would like to see a rear bumper with a swinging tire mount and possibly a swinging jack or gas mount on the other side Im in a 2016 nissan Titan xd
The only thing about nissans in general that i'm not a huge fan of is the company itself. Newer Nissans are higher quality but the decade or so previous to that has left the company itself on the edge of collapse. I would be worried about loss of OEM support if they cant successfully turn it around.
Alright gentlemen, we need an update on this beast. I’ve come back after one year and picking up a Titan for myself.
Well unfortunately Trevor sold the Titan to buy a Lexus GX.
@@AdventureBuilt Nooooo! Lol all good. Nice pick.
@@AdventureBuilt You’re kidding? After talking up the value the Titan represents? Disappointing.
@@Army4Runner yea sorry man. Trevor was struggling to get the most basic of upgrades. He was disappointed as well.
I think that if Nissan can definitely learn how to market the Titan just like how they market their Frontier then quite possibly we could definitely have a winner on our hands so why doesn't someon els teach Nissan how to market their Titan just like they market their Frontier because that is what my ideas are on this very subject so if anyone else has any ideas on how we can definitely get it started for Nissan hey please definitely drop me line and then share your ideas
Hefty Fabworks in Colorado does a lot of Nissan bumpers and sliders
Awesome. Will take a look. Thank you!
Adventure Built you’re welcome. Watching the video reminded me of Nissan. My dad had a 1988 regular cab 4x2 Hardbody pick up with their great 4-cylinder, 4-spd manual and manual steering (thankfully A/C). He put a hi-cab topper on the back and we put scrap carpet and large pillows (we called them zabutons). I borrowed it and went uphill over speed bumps in 2nd gear and burnt the clutch. Dad said it slipped for a while but reformed and drove like new. All we did was change the oil, he traded it for a Dakota and now hates Dodge to the point he might disown me if I get one. He bought two different 1995.5 V-6 Tacomas from cousins. He kept the 4x4 5-spd and gave me the 4x2 column shift auto while I was living in Portland 😕. I really wanted the 4x4, but he liked driving standard. I looked into adding an SAS and transfer case but I’m not that mechanical so it was too pricey for me.
They don’t seem to offer products online for Gen 2 Titans.
Love my 2018
Whatever happened with this? I'm looking for other videos about this build but I haven't found any
Still happy with this choice? I'm looking at a Titan Pro4x. Curious your thoughts after 7 months of use offroading it.
Honestly the Titan hasn’t seen much trail time. Still being babied since it’s so new.
@@AdventureBuilt Understood. Is yours still stock or have you done new tires or any suspension work on it yet? Just picked me up a pro4x yesterday.
Any updates on the Titan? I just bought a 2021 pro 4x and am looking for companies that provide aftermarket support.
Yes I have an update but you won’t like it. Trevor actually sold the Titan in order to get a Lexus GX. Sorry.
@@AdventureBuilt oh no!! Does he happen to remember what companies he would have gone with?
@@zeuzz44 unfortunately that was part of the issue with the Titan. Just not a lot of aftermarket support.
Any updates on the titan, I have done some modifications on my titan.
Haven’t really done much to it. Focusing all the energy into the 4Runner. It’s kinda on standby for the time being.
Was this Titan project abandoned? I only saw like 1 more video, maybe I missed them?
Yes unfortunately there just wasn’t enough aftermarket support for the Titan so Trevor sold it.
It doesn’t get the respect that it deserves because of the Nissan badge. Which is understandable.
its TAI TAN , not TIEEN , everyone play with English in usa , and i too :O
Curious ,are you concerned about the carbon build up with the direct injection system?
Honestly I never thought about it. Is it a common issue?
@@AdventureBuilt it's thing with any direction injection engine. Where the intake values get clogged with carbon. Usually port injection cleans it up but the 5.6 is not port injection. It's why I was curious to see if you've noticed and sluggish acceleration or loss of power?
@@HRTBRKD0G no haven’t noticed any issues.
any updates?
No. Trevor actually sold the Titan.
Talk with Mike from off-road wear house on Titan talk forum. He gives a 10% discount and you can get this kit for mild lift which sounds like what you are planning to do with the Titan. I have a 19 pro4x non XD. This is probably what I will do if I decide to keep the truck. Good luck with the build.

What ever happened to this Titan?!
