I had owned Chevy trucks all my life. Bought a new Silverado in 2020, transmission died with 5000 miles on it. Tires had to be replaced with 2000 miles on it. Back window rattled constantly. Traded that POS on a 2021 Nissan Titan SV, best decision of my life. What a night and day difference! No AFM or cylinder deactivate, get 21mpg on a 400hp V8. Smooth, sports car like handling, no rattles, shakes or vibration. I have put 15000 miles on it with nothing but flawless performance!
@@aludedcorridor6100 Yes, the Titan is running great! Truck has 25K now and zero issues. I get a lot of compliments about how smooth the ride is and how quiet the cab is. I stand by my original comment on the Titan.
@@aludedcorridor6100 I have a 2022 Titan xd p4x and it is an incredible truck. I pull a 5the wheel camper with it. The camper weights about 9,000lbs fully loaded. And about 1600lbs pin weight. Pulls great. I had a 2015 p4x before that and loved it. My brother in law, who has always been a Chevy guy, and his truck in getting a transmission replaced this last. He use my truck to go pull his travel trailer, and was blown away!! He had a 2007 Chevy 2500hd diesel. He traded his truck for the xd, and is SO happy with it. Call the haters of the Nissan titan, my comment is until you’ve driven the thing and or towed with either XD or traditional… you have no idea what you are hating on. When the realistic payload and towing lbs of the Titan xd, are right at what the f250 (yes, f250) are… it’s an eye opener. My neighbor who has an F250 always give me crap for towing my fifth wheel with my XD. One day I was over there and showed him the realistic numbers of his F250 and put them next to the realistic numbers of my ex D he was completely blown away.
absolutely. I bailed on my 2022 Tundra Limited deposit - such a let down. Have a 2006 Limited Tundra as HELD out for the 2022 to get 4 door with 6.5 box but they made it even narrower and smaller then the outgoing or mine.
2:31 XD concept targets recreational towers, providing stable and confident towing (as mentioned by the Nissan designers). What it really is a 250 frame with 150 powertrain. It weighs 6900 lbs, longer wheelbase, HEAVY reinforced frame. But 5.6l engine… for the US it is on the smaller side for such a heavy truck (Ford 6.2l, 7.3l). Internationally, however, 5.6l is a monster. :) If you tow your boat or camper on the weekends - XD is a great value. Stable, will get you there with luxury, and saves you at least $25k compared with similarly equipped F250. It isnt for everyone but for someone it is a perfect truck.
As someone who just recently got a 2021 Titan XD Pro4x, and lives very near you in Colorado :)… I agree with most of what you said. It tows with confidence, even in wind. It’s always super stable. It gets up and goes when it has to with that v8 and 9 speed trans. To add to your list of things that they can improve upon, my biggest gripe is the fuel tank size…Nissan…give the XD a bigger fuel tank!!!! 10mpg when towing isn’t terrible for Colorado with a heavy truck and a big thirsty v8. I have a folding bed cover on mine and I average around 17-18mpg mostly on the highway every day. (No trailer) When I do tow my travel trailer, I’m pulling about 6500-7000 lbs and it tows it great! I love my XD. Super comfortable, drives smooth. Way smoother than my 08 F150 that I traded for this XD. Most underrated truck on the market right here.
I have a 16 with the Cummins 5.0. I was genuinely surprised at how overbuilt and solid the frame is on it. Its huge, and youre right, it will pull anything right up to and past its limit without making me stress. Try pulling 12,000 with an F150, you wont do it feeling safe. The Titan XD is a barge, a battleship that just keeps going straight. A crosswind wont upset it much either… it has an interesting way of countering crosswinds, like it wants to straighten out, not go sideways. The fuel tank should be 35 gallons or more… there is a fix though, just install a larger tank aftermarket. They exist.
Currently in a '21 Titan XD and I cannot overstate how much I love the truck. It pulls out 28' camper, my three kids, and all of our outdoor toys (bikes, kayaks, skis, snowboards, etc.) without even the slightest whimper. I had convinced myself I needed a 3/4 ton diesel prior to getting the XD, but a serious look at my specific needs and lengthy back-to-back test drives with several HD options sealed it. My only complaint is the 26 gallon gas tank - it's a BIG miss by Nissan IMO.
I am right there with you. Was looking at HD diesels for my family of 4 and 26’ camper. Found a great deal on a ‘21 XD at a dealer a few hours away. I love the truck and how it handles for all my needs. +1 on bigger gas tank would have been nice when towing for long trips. Only other thing besides gas tank is a little high resolution back up camera for hitching up. Other then those 2 things it is a perfect truck and deals are out there if you look.
Yep, I have a '19. 27 foot bunk house, family of 4, 2 dogs and have taken it all over the Northwest. They post people on here all the time that are looking for the XD and don't even know it. They are looking at everything but this truck.
I also own a 2021 Titan Platinum Reserve. I currently have about 23,000 miles on it . I looked and drove and tested all the big 3 manufacturers and Toyota and found that this truck had a better naturally aspirated V8 that without towing and driving on the freeway at 70 mph with cruise control on 21-24 mpg. I even have the photos to back that up. Rear seats both flip up or down and that was also important to me. One motor and one reasonable rear end ratio. All good.
I've always felt the XD was very under-rated. I would have one right now if the dealer in my area wasn't trying to sell them for as much as the Ram dealer is selling Cummins 2500 trucks!
If that’s actually true (& I find that hard to believe) you should EASILY be able to buy one of those “cheap” Cummins HD trucks & sell it for a profit that should help offset the markup the delusional Nissan dealer in your area is trying to get away with. Or just go to another Nissan dealer lol
@@MS-mr4zm not so easy in Alaska. We only have one Nissan dealer. And it’s not that the Cummins is cheap, they’re normal priced. My point was the Nissan dealer is a ripoff here.
Just went from a 19 to a 21 BIG difference I honestly have no complaints other than the cost I think they need to undercut the competition a little more than what they are doing. This is my second Nissan coming from f150 and honestly don’t really miss the ford
I just bought a 2022 Platinum Reserve XD, and I found the quality to be as good as a family member's 2022 RAM 1500 Laramie. Has every feature any normal person would need, and I don't have to dig through the infotainment screen to turn on the ventilated seats or mess with HVAC controls.
I have always liked the idea of a "heavy" half ton. Nissan has a great idea but for some reason, it has not been taken seriously in the market. If they could revise the GVWR to get a 2500# + payload, they would have a real competitor. It would be interesting for TFL to compare this truck to a Ford F150 with the Heavy Duty Payload Package. Nice truck overall.
In todays wild climate of crazy fuel prices, and mega dollars for HD class trucks. I think the market is crying out for a heavy half!, something more daily driver friendly and easier on gas than a 3/4 or 1t. Ford do the F150 HD payload, 7850gvwr. 4x4 with a crew cab can tow 13.800lbs! I don’t know why they don’t market it more aggressively!
@@MrPW339 I hear that, I've been looking for an hdpp for months, if you want one you just have to order it. You can find xds all day. The payload on the XD has to be underrated in my opinion, the truck is built, probably heavier built than the hdpp ford is. I'm a slide in camper guy and I'm shopping 1/2 ton payload, it's a tough market. Most of the crew cab 1/2 tons have very low payloads. I don't want to be stuck driving a 3/4 ton over something I do a few times a year.
We bought a used 2021 XD Pro4X early last year and towed our travel trailer on a short (shakedown) trip, a 2 week trip to Maine, and a 4 week trip half way across the country and back. Our trailer is about 6200 loaded, 800 lb tongue wt and 10’ 10” tall. All handled with little drama. The XD handled the towing very well. Only notable was that going west through IOWA and SD into the 15+mph headwind made the truck work a lot harder (jumping between 6th-8th, mostly in 7th gear) and MPG fell from 10-10-3 avg to ~8-8.5). Unflappable towing, even on the narrow two lanes, off camber in parts of Vermont, and always a comfortable well controlled ride towing. Said by another, only flaw, SMALL gas tank (26 gal, about 24.5 usable). Getting ready for summer now. Looking forward to more confident pulls with our TT this sommer!!
Very capable truck. Love my xd. All the haters are spending $80,000+ for a massive truck to cover all the unrealistic scenarios they “may” run into. Or their pulling their 15,000lb camper for those few weekends a year.
@Anakin Skywalker There have been rumors for the past couple of years that Nissan is going to drop the XD. Heck, there have been rumors THIS year that Nissan was going to drop the entire Titan line.
By rumors do you mean Nissan Corp saying this is the last Titan model then yes. They already killed the commercial van line and the Titan is next. Its a solid truck but not worth it, and that is why they are failing in sales. The rear axle is an old AAM semi float 14 bolt 9.5" ring housing. They put a 250mm ring and pinion that is only used only on LS Chevy Camaro. This axle housing is heavy but long abandoned in heavy duty pickups. Nissan F-ed themselves with this combo because now they created a combo that aftermarket parts are not readily available. They should have used the 14 bolt full float 10.5" housing that has thousands of ring pinion combos for. The Diesel? That was a disaster. Instead of designing a 5.0 v-8 they should have taken the 5.9 - inline 6 and started there. One of the best diesel trucks engines ever made. Nissan has built a reputation the last decade of taking poor advice and running with it. Most of my vehicles I own have been Nissan or infiniti but I wonder if this company is going to make it in 25 years.
@@omorin34 cummins was using this engine in school busses amd Tiffin RVs before it found its way into the Nissan Titan. Unfortunately Nissans terribke transmission programming and lethargic throttle mapping really kills it.
@@Jackmerius_Tacktheretrix I did not know that. Thanks,. I also heard the engine had marine applications. Surely aftermarket re-programming is out there now to fix the trans? I know there is for the engine.
@@omorin34 unfortunately there isnt anything put there for the trans, even though its basically the same Aisin you get in the Ram 3500 with the high output Cummins except for the input shaft amd torque converter. I guess since this isnt a high volume truck nobody really looked into tuning the trans in the Titan XD. It basically has the same complaints as owners of Ram 3500 had, except Ram for the most part fixed the shifting issues where Nissan hasn't. And for all I know my transmission shifting behavior could just be unique to my truck as I haven't driven any other titan XDs.
Ive mostly been a ford guy all my life; couple of 2nd gen rams in there too. These 2nd gen Nissan Titans are gorgeous and blow any other competitor out of the water. Even though they dont sell them in Canada any.ore, ill still find a good used one somewhere, even if i have to go down to Washington State. Well worth it to grab 1 of these beauties.
Don't forget the factory installed goose neck and or 5th wheel nobody talks about. No need to cut corrosion holes in the bed of your truck like the big 3. I use this truck to pull big heavy trailers all day long with no issues.
You will find that a lot of actual owners find only one major issue: 25 gallon tank. And it’s more of an annoyance than a issue because these things tow extremely well within its limits (and beyond).
The small gas tank is literally the only gripe with our 2019 XD gasser. A bit irritating on long road trips, but especially irritating when towing our boat or travel trailer.
The "XD" is weird in my opinion. They used a 3/4 ton frame, but are using 1/2 ton axels. Why didn't Nissan just go and build a proper 3/4 ton heavy duty truck?
Nissan had a winner here. Just blew it on the marketing and TFL didn't help either. Every review was, sure but you could get a f150 that tows as much. It was true, you could at the time, provided you wanted a V8 powered, standard cab, 8'bed with 2WD. And, even the F250 with the diesel, which was a tow beast at 20K# didn't have the payload to do so... (same was true of Chevy/Dodge)
I agree most reviews I've seen always tout how much they like the truck. But then in the next breath we'll say why it might not be a compelling buy. The fact is no other halfton is as good of a towing machine as this truck. And if you've never driven one they just are simply amazing!
I wish Nissan would bump the number up like mentioned making it mor of a "Heavy Half Ton". I also hope GM bumps the towing numbers up in the new 3.0 Duramax and offers a Max Tow Package for the Trailboss with the 3.0 making it more of a "Heavy Half Ton". I think there's a market for a heavy half ton (like the old chevy 1500 HD) that would give the end user a more competent towing experience without having to jump to the 3/4-ton truck.
@@paulbenderavich3833 - you are kind of right. The thing is in the OP comment, they want even more than 13,000 towing in the diesel half ton!! 😂😂😂. That’s why the 3/4 ton trucks are not so relevant!! Especially on the ranch before I sold out. I just skipped over the 3/4 ton and got my moneys worth and purchased one ton trucks. The half tons became so capable (even though I towed no more than 80% of the rated weight). People want, want, want, when they already have it in just stepping up to the 3/4 ton, in the OP’s case at least. The 3.0 litre diesel 1/2 ton with all the HD towing available for it and then a few reasonable options is just a few thousand less than a comparable 3/4 to Duramax. I would much rather tow 60% of the rated weight for a truck vs near 100% of the truck’s capabilities. Once you are near the top payload, or towing capacity, generally you are miserable towing at the 100% rate. There’s not enough power, torque, and that translates into the worst fuel economy,,,,,. I like the way you think!! Haha.
I agree. I bought an F150 3.5L Ecoboost with the HD payload package which is the heavy dutiest 1/2 ton I could find other than an XD. Unfortunately, the XD's have crappy standard 1/2 ton ish payloads. I wish GM made an HD package for the 3.0 Duramax- I would have bought in a heartbeat.
@@justinproffitt6149 on paper they suck but you can over load the XD. I think NIssan just likes to play safe for legal reasons but in the real world it's a different story.
Many people have bought into the inflated towing number competition. Those same people selectively forget TFL over-heating those (best in class towing capacity) trucks with heavy trailers.
Bought a 2018 XD 4x4 Cummins new. Tow 9k lbs travel trailer all over west US, including up and over Rockies. Only complaint is fuel tank is way too small. (And of course DEF crap.)
Titan is the most underrated truck in the market. This is what Toyota should have done with the Tundra. Both the XD and the regular Titan are solid pickups. It kills me when I hear the “expert reviewers” saying how they’re not as good as a Ram or F150 or Chevy, when I know guys who have put 300,000 trouble free miles on their Titans. This is what an American pickup should be; a big V8 and just a simple set up. They’re comfortable enough with just enough technology without all of the extra stuff that can go wrong. If you want a solid, reliable truck that checks most of the boxes ( seriously how many people need a half ton to tow 13,000 pounds?) buy a Titan. I’m the type of guy who will walk up and ask someone how they like their truck and what problems they’ve had, and every single Titan owner I’ve asked, regardless of the diesel or gas engine, have said that it’s the best truck they’ve ever owned. I can’t say that about guys who own one of the big three. It’s a shame that they are not more popular.
They should’ve continued the diesel and changes some tuning! I have a 17’ cummins Titan, and once deleted it’s literally not the same truck,Nissan dropped the ball on the cummins Titan
If the XD played football it'd be a linebacker or perhaps a tight end. The thing about it is that it hits a sweet spot with ride comfort and capability. It sits higher than an F150, Silverado or Ram half ton. I've taken it on long cross country trips on multiple occasions with zero issues. My favorite feature is the adapticlve cruise control followed by the stereo and seat comfort.
I have a ‘21 XD also not fully loaded so I get the 2200 lbs of payload also. The difference is this truck can tow every bit of the max tow rating comfortably. It is not just a race to the highest tow numbers on paper like you see on new 1/2 trucks.
@@calebniederhofer6529 has 11400 GVWR? Why wouldn’t you tow it? Truck weighs 7000, trailer empty is 8200, with camping stuff it’s 9000. Does a good job and feels stable. I pulled the same trailer with a 2500 Duramax, the only difference I feel is the power difference. I just don’t tow it enough to pay for owning the diesel. Especially with $4 diesel fuel.
@@xenfin agreed, a Ford 3.5 Max tow, doesn’t weigh enough to slow the trailer down and feels width washy in the wind. My XD never feels unstable. Now, I am not trying to win a NASCAR race either.
@@cisco1dog The XD is perfectly fine with that weight. The regular Titan, I wouldn’t. I still think the engine is underpowered for that kind of weight. I get it, not saying it can’t do it.
The earlier XD Titan had a 7 lug wheel stud and that 5.0 Cummins v8 diesel but what Nissan should of done was to design a 8-9-10 speed automatic gear box with axle ratio of at least 3.90 to 4.30 for the XD and increase the capacity to 15,000 pounds conventional bumper pull and 17,000 gooseneck/fifth wheel and design a 6.0+ litre ish endurance V8 as the base engine for it. The Titan should stick around a lot longer in the competition cause it's a very underappreciated, yet underrated truck with lots of potential despite my love for Silverado and RAM 1500
Interesting, I just went to my garage to check in case I was remembering incorrectly... My '16 XD PR Diesel has 6 lug wheel's. Could it be that the 20" wheels are 6 stud and the 17" wheels are 7?
@@travisaugustine7264 I'm have to check again, Ford had em in the 10 gen f-series pickup (f250 pre super duty before 1999) and the Econoline pass/cargo van. I remember seeing the Titan XDs with the V8 powered Cummins mostly 4x4s has em maybe with 18s?!
I bought a 2017 xd with 100k miles and feels solid at the price of 32thoudand. A buddy bought a 2016 2500 silverado with 180k miles at a price of 40thousand. Pulled the same trailer of 11000lbs and both felt the same.
Who ever said the new XDs are lame?? It's an incredible machine. And it's pronounced you may think, not "you make think"(on thumbnail) just a heads up.
I have a 2017 Titan XD. The only thing I recommend is to use premium fuel. It definitely performs better. The truck is a beast. Fast as hell for a truck that heavy! Copper AT3 tires perform well on this truck. Michelins always had trouble with traction.
Really? That was my next UA-cam search. Comparing titan vs tundra. But as I read all these comments under this thread, I’m amazed how everyone is leaning 100% titan! And when you think about it, the Titan is now the only Japanese truck with a v8 engine! As Toyota has now bowed to the hybrid agenda! I will never go EV! I think all battery vehicles are crap! This is me speaking 30 years from now (2052) in 2022! I will never sit around in a target parking lot waiting for my car to charge! It only takes me just a couple minutes to fill the tank in my vehicle, and I can drive hundreds of miles!!1🏆🏆🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸❤️
If you think about it, this is the most reliable gas pickup truck in the market right now. I don't qualify it as a 3/4 ton truck, but I'll take this truck over any other 1/2 ton truck in the market and I don't care about the towing numbers. Everyone is either switching to a little bitty turbo v6 or a v8 with the cylinder deactivation bull crap which totally ruins the engine and trying to cut off as much weight as possible as if their were making an sports car. All for the gas mileage BS. This Titan still has the old school 5.6 super reliable engine with an insane overbuilt chassis, stronger than any other 1/2 pickup truck out there! Ford claims 14k towing capacity with their 3.5 ecoboost, I bet all my money that little bitty engine will blow up before hitting 100k miles towing anywhere near that kind of weight lol. Very underated truck, Nissan needs better marketing strategy for this truck!!
Yeah it’s not heavy duty but tows better than 75% of the trucks you’ve ever tested on tfl fast lane. Definitely a better tow vehicle than the multitudes of 3.5 eco boost f150s on this channel imo
I have a 17 Titan SV and love the way it drives, wish I had gotten a litter higher optioned on but it’s been a very good and dependable pickup. It’s just needs a longer bed which is why I’ll look at the xd when I go to upgrade.
we have a titan xd for my landscape company. single cab 5.6 gas. It Tows a 5,000 pound trailer 5-6 days a week. Hauls with a truck insert and sometimes a ton of grass and lawn debris at the same time. It also Plows snow with a Blizzard Speedwing Plow and a SHPE 1500 salt dogg salt spreader in the winter. only issue I've have with the truck is an alternator and a manifold at 50,000 miles of absolute abuse. I took a chance on it and I'm glad i did up until this point. also it does all of those things and performs excellent while doing it. I would buy another one but Nissan and all their glory decided to get rid of single cab HD work trucks. not a smart move.
I'm really liking my '21 Pro4x w/12k miles. I'm in sales so it has to be a dual function truck for me. Taking customers comfortably to lunch, driving by myself for 8 hrs at a time and towing atvs/tractors/firewood on the weekends. I have a 2,000lb dual axle trailer that I put a 4,000lb Yanmar tractor on + attachements. I tow through upstate NY which is all hills and valleys. It does very well and feels plenty stable. I can fill my 16' x 6' trailer 2' tall with green firewood and it still tows like a champ. The sound from the V8 is just bliss. I can't help but laugh at the vacuum cleaner sound emanating from the new Tundra.
At first 1700 pounds of payload doesn’t sound great and that’s less than my F150. But when you see it’s fully loaded with options it’s a little more impressive. Fully loaded 1/2 tons are much closer to 1k pounds of payload. Loaded up Ram 1500s can be under 1k pounds. And the extra weight of the Titan XD would make it more stable on windy days. If one of the big three did something like this it would sell very well but it would hurt their heavy duty sales so they won’t do it. Ford has their HDPP but you can’t get all the fancy stuff from the higher trim levels.
Absolute truth, the xds payload is high when you consider it's a loaded crew 6.5 bed 4x4. Heck some of the 3/4 ton diesels get into the lower 2ks on payload. Ford's hdpp crew long 4x4 base model is 2590 or so, it would be much lower if it was a loaded truck. The aluminum body helps ford's payload. I'm a ford guy but you can't find that particular truck at all. It almost doesn't exist.
The XD is an excellent vehicle. Nissan made 2 mistakes. #1 choosing the Cummins engine nobody else wanted. Nissan had many alternatives. #2 The marketing message. Dumbed-down, vulgar, ignorant Amurcuns simply have not the mental capacity to comprehend the sophisticated XD message. Nissan should have marketed it as a bad-ass, heavy-duty, beast of a half-ton truck.
I agree with Andre on this one. If Nissan calls this truck their XD than numbers have to be higher. The payload and towing numbers should be higher. This is why Nissan fail short with the Cumins engine in their trucks. The numbers weren’t as good as they could of been. Smaller diesels made ny the big three in their 1500 trucks towed more than Nissans 5.0 liter Cumins.
I'm leaning towards the Titan XD over the 2021 Tundra but my only concern is the JATCO 9 speed transmission. If I knew it would be reliable I would go with theXD. Any comments on this transmission over the long haul? I know with the Tundra's Aisin transmission I'm solid. I'd appreciate any insight anyone can give me.
I still have my 2002-tundra purchased new. 250k miles to date. I love Toyota but am concerned with their shift to turbo engines. That being said, the Titan has had some transmission issues. With my holding onto vehicles for a very long time, which do you think would be the most reliable long term?
I had nothing but problems with my 2017 XD, ended up getting it repurchased under my states lemon law. I really wanted to have the issues resolved but the dealerships in my area just couldn't figure it out and ended up blaming Nissan of which didn't do anything other than the repurchase. Hopefully all the issues with the platform have been worked out by now.
I'm super bummed the Titan is being discontinued. I have a 2011 Titan S king cab (base model) that has been an absolute tank for towing my 22ft travel trailer. I was planning to drive it two more years and then replace it with a new crew cab Titan. Now I'm not sure what to do...
You didn’t even talk about everything it comes with…. Like factory gooseneck…… I loved my XD but I had the diesel and it broke down so many time Nissan bought it back even after 130k miles…. I have a 18 tundra now and it’s a great truck that doesn’t break down but I really miss my XD and the way it towed my travel trailer. Nissan rated them to low and didn’t market them worth a crap
I bet they didn't use premium fuel and have you seen diesel prices. I wouldn't get none of new diesel engine, unless i needed it for work. I love my 14L Detroit. Series 60 best engine put ever into anything.
@@zelenizub2036 he stated that he used premium fuel in the video.and thats not much cheaper than diesel. i currently own a 1 ton diesel and will be upgrading to a half ton diesel in the near future..To bad they did away with the diesel in the titan
Every time I see a video like this, I feel so much better about spending the $61K on my 2022 Duramax Silverado LT 2500. It was definitely a lot of money, but so well worth it. With 910 lb/ft torque, I can pull the big 5th wheel trailer and barely notice it’s behind me.
Seems like someone is a little jelly haha 😂. I’m not bragging at all. Just saying that for the price, I feel like I still got a good value. After spending 3 months finding my truck, I should be able to be happy and share. Keep in mind that some Dodge and Ford diesels have even more torque. But ya, my trailer weighs 12k pounds empty, so I needed a suitable powered truck for towing it. I can always talk about the Mercedes suv I traded in if you want me to brag lol 😆.
@@alanj7306 haha no, I have no need for a heavy duty whatsoever so no jealousy here. I guess with the price tag it makes sense why you brought it up, but still, thought it was a bit of a stretch initially. Anyways, good on you, no hate here.
I had owned Chevy trucks all my life. Bought a new Silverado in 2020, transmission died with 5000 miles on it. Tires had to be replaced with 2000 miles on it. Back window rattled constantly. Traded that POS on a 2021 Nissan Titan SV, best decision of my life. What a night and day difference! No AFM or cylinder deactivate, get 21mpg on a 400hp V8.

XD concept targets recreational towers, providing stable and confident towing (as mentioned by the Nissan designers). What it really is a 250 frame with 150 powertrain. It weighs 6900 lbs, longer wheelbase, HEAVY reinforced frame. But 5.6l engine… for the US it is on the smaller side for such a heavy truck (Ford 6.2l, 7.3l). Internationally, however, 5.6l is a monster. :)
If you tow your boat or camper on the weekends - XD is a great value. Stable, will get you there with luxury, and saves you at least $25k compared with similarly equipped F250. It isnt for everyone but for someone it is a perfect truck.
I own a 21 f250 6.2 . Engine is ok , everything else is Ford junk . Getting rid of it and getting a xd
Perfectly said
As someone who just recently got a 2021 Titan XD Pro4x, and lives very near you in Colorado :)… I agree with most of what you said. It tows with confidence, even in wind. It’s always super stable. It gets up and goes when it has to with that v8 and 9 speed trans.
To add to your list of things that they can improve upon, my biggest gripe is the fuel tank size…Nissan…give the XD a bigger fuel tank!!!!
10mpg when towing isn’t terrible for Colorado with a heavy truck and a big thirsty v8.
I have a folding bed cover on mine and I average around 17-18mpg mostly on the highway every day. (No trailer)
When I do tow my travel trailer, I’m pulling about 6500-7000 lbs and it tows it great!
I love my XD.
Super comfortable, drives smooth. Way smoother than my 08 F150 that I traded for this XD.
Most underrated truck on the market right here.
I have a 16 with the Cummins 5.0.
I was genuinely surprised at how overbuilt and solid the frame is on it. Its huge, and youre right, it will pull anything right up to and past its limit without making me stress. Try pulling 12,000 with an F150, you wont do it feeling safe. The Titan XD is a barge, a battleship that just keeps going straight.
A crosswind wont upset it much either… it has an interesting way of countering crosswinds, like it wants to straighten out, not go sideways. The fuel tank should be 35 gallons or more… there is a fix though, just install a larger tank aftermarket. They exist.
Hello- they do exist, for the diesel version. Not for the gas version.. talked with Titan fuel tanks… too bad it’s not available for gassers
Hell yeah I have a 17 with 5.0 too and a 05 gasser. The Cummins tows way better than 5.7 gas
I own a 17 and these are truly the most bang for your buck. Definitely underrated.
Currently in a '21 Titan XD and I cannot overstate how much I love the truck. It pulls out 28' camper, my three kids, and all of our outdoor toys (bikes, kayaks, skis, snowboards, etc.) without even the slightest whimper. I had convinced myself I needed a 3/4 ton diesel prior to getting the XD, but a serious look at my specific needs and lengthy back-to-back test drives with several HD options sealed it. My only complaint is the 26 gallon gas tank - it's a BIG miss by Nissan IMO.
I am right there with you. Was looking at HD diesels for my family of 4 and 26’ camper. Found a great deal on a ‘21 XD at a dealer a few hours away. I love the truck and how it handles for all my needs. +1 on bigger gas tank would have been nice when towing for long trips. Only other thing besides gas tank is a little high resolution back up camera for hitching up. Other then those 2 things it is a perfect truck and deals are out there if you look.
Yep, I have a '19. 27 foot bunk house, family of 4, 2 dogs and have taken it all over the Northwest. They post people on here all the time that are looking for the XD and don't even know it. They are looking at everything but this truck.
I also own a 2021 Titan Platinum Reserve. I currently have about 23,000 miles on it . I looked and drove and tested all the big 3 manufacturers and Toyota and found that this truck had a better naturally aspirated V8 that without towing and driving on the freeway at 70 mph with cruise control on 21-24 mpg. I even have the photos to back that up. Rear seats both flip up or down and that was also important to me. One motor and one reasonable rear end ratio. All good.
@stewarthill5878 can you post the photos some how lol I'm really interested in this truck but idk how it is on mpg
The most underrated truck)
Nothing lame about it. A very fine truck. Solid.
I've always felt the XD was very under-rated. I would have one right now if the dealer in my area wasn't trying to sell them for as much as the Ram dealer is selling Cummins 2500 trucks!
If that’s actually true (& I find that hard to believe) you should EASILY be able to buy one of those “cheap” Cummins HD trucks & sell it for a profit that should help offset the markup the delusional Nissan dealer in your area is trying to get away with. Or just go to another Nissan dealer lol
@@MS-mr4zm not so easy in Alaska. We only have one Nissan dealer. And it’s not that the Cummins is cheap, they’re normal priced. My point was the Nissan dealer is a ripoff here.
@@AKJeeper dang well that makes sense then!!
@@MS-mr4zm 10k mark-up on Titan pro4x in California.
Just went from a 19 to a 21 BIG difference I honestly have no complaints other than the cost I think they need to undercut the competition a little more than what they are doing. This is my second Nissan coming from f150 and honestly don’t really miss the ford
Nissan knows how to build a proper truck and frame. the XD is an underrated truck especially with the 100k 5 years warranty!
I just bought a 2022 Platinum Reserve XD, and I found the quality to be as good as a family member's 2022 RAM 1500 Laramie. Has every feature any normal person would need, and I don't have to dig through the infotainment screen to turn on the ventilated seats or mess with HVAC controls.
Exactly! I want buttons for my hvac amd stereo!
I have an 07’ Titan and It’s a towing machine, can only imagine the improvements with current technology.
I have always liked the idea of a "heavy" half ton. Nissan has a great idea but for some reason, it has not been taken seriously in the market. If they could revise the GVWR to get a 2500# + payload, they would have a real competitor. It would be interesting for TFL to compare this truck to a Ford F150 with the Heavy Duty Payload Package. Nice truck overall.
In todays wild climate of crazy fuel prices, and mega dollars for HD class trucks. I think the market is crying out for a heavy half!, something more daily driver friendly and easier on gas than a 3/4 or 1t. Ford do the F150 HD payload, 7850gvwr. 4x4 with a crew cab can tow 13.800lbs! I don’t know why they don’t market it more aggressively!
@@MrPW339 I hear that, I've been looking for an hdpp for months, if you want one you just have to order it. You can find xds all day. The payload on the XD has to be underrated in my opinion, the truck is built, probably heavier built than the hdpp ford is. I'm a slide in camper guy and I'm shopping 1/2 ton payload, it's a tough market. Most of the crew cab 1/2 tons have very low payloads. I don't want to be stuck driving a 3/4 ton over something I do a few times a year.
It has a 5.6L v8 with 400hp & 413lb ft tq on a hd frame classified as a class 2b (2500) truck. Why are you surprised? 🤔
We bought a used 2021 XD Pro4X early last year and towed our travel trailer on a short (shakedown) trip, a 2 week trip to Maine, and a 4 week trip half way across the country and back. Our trailer is about 6200 loaded, 800 lb tongue wt and 10’ 10” tall. All handled with little drama.
The XD handled the towing very well. Only notable was that going west through IOWA and SD into the 15+mph headwind made the truck work a lot harder (jumping between 6th-8th, mostly in 7th gear) and MPG fell from 10-10-3 avg to ~8-8.5). Unflappable towing, even on the narrow two lanes, off camber in parts of Vermont, and always a comfortable well controlled ride towing.
Said by another, only flaw, SMALL gas tank (26 gal, about 24.5 usable).
Getting ready for summer now. Looking forward to more confident pulls with our TT this sommer!!
Very capable truck. Love my xd.
All the haters are spending $80,000+ for a massive truck to cover all the unrealistic scenarios they “may” run into. Or their pulling their 15,000lb camper for those few weekends a year.
Finally some Titan XD content. I really like it, but am worried Nissan will drop it and it will become hard to find parts in the future.
@Anakin Skywalker There have been rumors for the past couple of years that Nissan is going to drop the XD. Heck, there have been rumors THIS year that Nissan was going to drop the entire Titan line.
By rumors do you mean Nissan Corp saying this is the last Titan model then yes. They already killed the commercial van line and the Titan is next. Its a solid truck but not worth it, and that is why they are failing in sales. The rear axle is an old AAM semi float 14 bolt 9.5" ring housing. They put a 250mm ring and pinion that is only used only on LS Chevy Camaro. This axle housing is heavy but long abandoned in heavy duty pickups. Nissan F-ed themselves with this combo because now they created a combo that aftermarket parts are not readily available. They should have used the 14 bolt full float 10.5" housing that has thousands of ring pinion combos for. The Diesel? That was a disaster. Instead of designing a 5.0 v-8 they should have taken the 5.9 - inline 6 and started there. One of the best diesel trucks engines ever made. Nissan has built a reputation the last decade of taking poor advice and running with it. Most of my vehicles I own have been Nissan or infiniti but I wonder if this company is going to make it in 25 years.
@@omorin34 cummins was using this engine in school busses amd Tiffin RVs before it found its way into the Nissan Titan. Unfortunately Nissans terribke transmission programming and lethargic throttle mapping really kills it.
@@Jackmerius_Tacktheretrix I did not know that. Thanks,. I also heard the engine had marine applications. Surely aftermarket re-programming is out there now to fix the trans? I know there is for the engine.
@@omorin34 unfortunately there isnt anything put there for the trans, even though its basically the same Aisin you get in the Ram 3500 with the high output Cummins except for the input shaft amd torque converter. I guess since this isnt a high volume truck nobody really looked into tuning the trans in the Titan XD. It basically has the same complaints as owners of Ram 3500 had, except Ram for the most part fixed the shifting issues where Nissan hasn't. And for all I know my transmission shifting behavior could just be unique to my truck as I haven't driven any other titan XDs.
🇺🇸🇺🇸 I actually like the Titan alot. More than Tundra, f150, etc.
I have a first gen 2004 titan 4x2 crew cab with 5.5ft bed. It still works perfectly.
I love my regular 2022 titan sv. Comes with 90% of the equipment shown in the video standard and it was $50k.
I think Nissan is improving their truck offerings to the point that I am even leaning towards Nissan for my next truck.
If you want a V8 without that start/stop and cylinder deactivation bs then Titan is the truck.
@@plutosrealm4594 yup! That and the Armada
Bought a 2018 PR new and thinking of getting a '24 before they are gone. Love them that much.
I hope they come out with a new design for 2023-2024 I love the Titan I have a 2010 Nissan Titan hit 191000 miles
Ive mostly been a ford guy all my life; couple of 2nd gen rams in there too.
These 2nd gen Nissan Titans are gorgeous and blow any other competitor out of the water. Even though they dont sell them in Canada any.ore, ill still find a good used one somewhere, even if i have to go down to Washington State. Well worth it to grab 1 of these beauties.
Don't forget the factory installed goose neck and or 5th wheel nobody talks about. No need to cut corrosion holes in the bed of your truck like the big 3. I use this truck to pull big heavy trailers all day long with no issues.
You will find that a lot of actual owners find only one major issue: 25 gallon tank. And it’s more of an annoyance than a issue because these things tow extremely well within its limits (and beyond).
The small gas tank is literally the only gripe with our 2019 XD gasser. A bit irritating on long road trips, but especially irritating when towing our boat or travel trailer.
Most underrated truck on the market. I’m not sure if it’s Nissan’s fault for not marketing it better or what but very good “Old School” type truck.
The "XD" is weird in my opinion. They used a 3/4 ton frame, but are using 1/2 ton axels. Why didn't Nissan just go and build a proper 3/4 ton heavy duty truck?
I would like that, hauling 2500lbs of stuff In the bed is bad ass.
This in Pro-4X is my dream truck man. I would give both my cars and still pay monthly for one.
"You Make Think" Cmon Andre! LOL great content but the marker lights got to to!
Nissan had a winner here. Just blew it on the marketing and TFL didn't help either. Every review was, sure but you could get a f150 that tows as much. It was true, you could at the time, provided you wanted a V8 powered, standard cab, 8'bed with 2WD. And, even the F250 with the diesel, which was a tow beast at 20K# didn't have the payload to do so... (same was true of Chevy/Dodge)
I agree most reviews I've seen always tout how much they like the truck. But then in the next breath we'll say why it might not be a compelling buy. The fact is no other halfton is as good of a towing machine as this truck. And if you've never driven one they just are simply amazing!
I wish Nissan would bump the number up like mentioned making it mor of a "Heavy Half Ton". I also hope GM bumps the towing numbers up in the new 3.0 Duramax and offers a Max Tow Package for the Trailboss with the 3.0 making it more of a "Heavy Half Ton". I think there's a market for a heavy half ton (like the old chevy 1500 HD) that would give the end user a more competent towing experience without having to jump to the 3/4-ton truck.
With current prices of these trucks, sometimes It makes more $ense to buy the 3/4 ton over the 1/2 ton.
@@paulbenderavich3833 - you are kind of right. The thing is in the OP comment, they want even more than 13,000 towing in the diesel half ton!! 😂😂😂.
That’s why the 3/4 ton trucks are not so relevant!! Especially on the ranch before I sold out. I just skipped over the 3/4 ton and got my moneys worth and purchased one ton trucks. The half tons became so capable (even though I towed no more than 80% of the rated weight). People want, want, want, when they already have it in just stepping up to the 3/4 ton, in the OP’s case at least. The 3.0 litre diesel 1/2 ton with all the HD towing available for it and then a few reasonable options is just a few thousand less than a comparable 3/4 to Duramax. I would much rather tow 60% of the rated weight for a truck vs near 100% of the truck’s capabilities. Once you are near the top payload, or towing capacity, generally you are miserable towing at the 100% rate. There’s not enough power, torque, and that translates into the worst fuel economy,,,,,.
I like the way you think!! Haha.
@@paulbenderavich3833 3/4 ton is cheaper than the 1/ 2 ton like for like.. and no premium fuel
I agree. I bought an F150 3.5L Ecoboost with the HD payload package which is the heavy dutiest 1/2 ton I could find other than an XD. Unfortunately, the XD's have crappy standard 1/2 ton ish payloads. I wish GM made an HD package for the 3.0 Duramax- I would have bought in a heartbeat.
@@justinproffitt6149 on paper they suck but you can over load the XD. I think NIssan just likes to play safe for legal reasons but in the real world it's a different story.
Many people have bought into the inflated towing number competition. Those same people selectively forget TFL over-heating those (best in class towing capacity) trucks with heavy trailers.
Bought a 2018 XD 4x4 Cummins new. Tow 9k lbs travel trailer all over west US, including up and over Rockies. Only complaint is fuel tank is way too small. (And of course DEF crap.)
I think my 21 XD has smaller tank than my 18 Armada. That is pretty much only thing that gets me mad about that truck.
Titan is the most underrated truck in the market. This is what Toyota should have done with the Tundra. Both the XD and the regular Titan are solid pickups. It kills me when I hear the “expert reviewers” saying how they’re not as good as a Ram or F150 or Chevy, when I know guys who have put 300,000 trouble free miles on their Titans. This is what an American pickup should be; a big V8 and just a simple set up. They’re comfortable enough with just enough technology without all of the extra stuff that can go wrong. If you want a solid, reliable truck that checks most of the boxes ( seriously how many people need a half ton to tow 13,000 pounds?) buy a Titan. I’m the type of guy who will walk up and ask someone how they like their truck and what problems they’ve had, and every single Titan owner I’ve asked, regardless of the diesel or gas engine, have said that it’s the best truck they’ve ever owned. I can’t say that about guys who own one of the big three. It’s a shame that they are not more popular.
They should’ve continued the diesel and changes some tuning! I have a 17’ cummins Titan, and once deleted it’s literally not the same truck,Nissan dropped the ball on the cummins Titan
Cummins will be back in 2023
@@cisco1dog I hope you are right but the inter webs only show rumors for now.
I have a 17 cummins too cant wait to get it deleted!!!
If the XD played football it'd be a linebacker or perhaps a tight end. The thing about it is that it hits a sweet spot with ride comfort and capability. It sits higher than an F150, Silverado or Ram half ton. I've taken it on long cross country trips on multiple occasions with zero issues. My favorite feature is the adapticlve cruise control followed by the stereo and seat comfort.
Lol on the football analogy but true. My brothers F150 feels like a cornerback as far as stability when towing but my XD is a middle linebacker
Pull a 36 ft 9600 Lb travel trailer with my 21 Titan XD. Could have a little more power, but does a great job. I have 2200 lbs of usable rating.
I wouldn’t tow that kind of weight, unless It was a 3/4 ton truck. If it is 9600 empty, you are probably at max rating.
I have a ‘21 XD also not fully loaded so I get the 2200 lbs of payload also. The difference is this truck can tow every bit of the max tow rating comfortably. It is not just a race to the highest tow numbers on paper like you see on new 1/2 trucks.
@@calebniederhofer6529 has 11400 GVWR? Why wouldn’t you tow it? Truck weighs 7000, trailer empty is 8200, with camping stuff it’s 9000. Does a good job and feels stable. I pulled the same trailer with a 2500 Duramax, the only difference I feel is the power difference. I just don’t tow it enough to pay for owning the diesel. Especially with $4 diesel fuel.
@@xenfin agreed, a Ford 3.5 Max tow, doesn’t weigh enough to slow the trailer down and feels width washy in the wind. My XD never feels unstable. Now, I am not trying to win a NASCAR race either.
@@cisco1dog The XD is perfectly fine with that weight. The regular Titan, I wouldn’t. I still think the engine is underpowered for that kind of weight. I get it, not saying it can’t do it.
Totally love my 2017 Titan non XD. Tows my 21’, 5k lb camper,just so great.
The earlier XD Titan had a 7 lug wheel stud and that 5.0 Cummins v8 diesel but what Nissan should of done was to design a 8-9-10 speed automatic gear box with axle ratio of at least 3.90 to 4.30 for the XD and increase the capacity to 15,000 pounds conventional bumper pull and 17,000 gooseneck/fifth wheel and design a 6.0+ litre ish endurance V8 as the base engine for it. The Titan should stick around a lot longer in the competition cause it's a very underappreciated, yet underrated truck with lots of potential despite my love for Silverado and RAM 1500
Interesting, I just went to my garage to check in case I was remembering incorrectly... My '16 XD PR Diesel has 6 lug wheel's. Could it be that the 20" wheels are 6 stud and the 17" wheels are 7?
@@travisaugustine7264 I'm have to check again, Ford had em in the 10 gen f-series pickup (f250 pre super duty before 1999) and the Econoline pass/cargo van. I remember seeing the Titan XDs with the V8 powered Cummins mostly 4x4s has em maybe with 18s?!

I have a 2017 Titan XD. The only thing I recommend is to use premium fuel. It definitely performs better. The truck is a beast. Fast as hell for a truck that heavy! Copper AT3 tires perform well on this truck. Michelins always had trouble with traction.
I would have never said it is lame. So underrated.
Most underrated truck on the market!!!
Really? That was my next UA-cam search. Comparing titan vs tundra. But as I read all these comments under this thread, I’m amazed how everyone is leaning 100% titan! And when you think about it, the Titan is now the only Japanese truck with a v8 engine! As Toyota has now bowed to the hybrid agenda! I will never go EV! I think all battery vehicles are crap! This is me speaking 30 years from now (2052) in 2022! I will never sit around in a target parking lot waiting for my car to charge! It only takes me just a couple minutes to fill the tank in my vehicle, and I can drive hundreds of miles!!1🏆🏆🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸❤️
For what ever it’s worth, the Titan is designed and built in the USA.
If you think about it, this is the most reliable gas pickup truck in the market right now. I don't qualify it as a 3/4 ton truck, but I'll take this truck over any other 1/2 ton truck in the market and I don't care about the towing numbers. Everyone is either switching to a little bitty turbo v6 or a v8 with the cylinder deactivation bull crap which totally ruins the engine and trying to cut off as much weight as possible as if their were making an sports car. All for the gas mileage BS. This Titan still has the old school 5.6 super reliable engine with an insane overbuilt chassis, stronger than any other 1/2 pickup truck out there! Ford claims 14k towing capacity with their 3.5 ecoboost, I bet all my money that little bitty engine will blow up before hitting 100k miles towing anywhere near that kind of weight lol. Very underated truck, Nissan needs better marketing strategy for this truck!!
That Engine Sounds Really Good.
Yeah it’s not heavy duty but tows better than 75% of the trucks you’ve ever tested on tfl fast lane. Definitely a better tow vehicle than the multitudes of 3.5 eco boost f150s on this channel imo

we have a titan xd for my landscape company. single cab 5.6 gas. It Tows a 5,000 pound trailer 5-6 days a week. Hauls with a truck insert and sometimes a ton of grass and lawn debris at the same time. It also Plows snow with a Blizzard Speedwing Plow and a SHPE 1500 salt dogg salt spreader in the winter. only issue I've have with the truck is an alternator and a manifold at 50,000 miles of absolute abuse. I took a chance on it and I'm glad i did up until this point. also it does all of those things and performs excellent while doing it. I would buy another one but Nissan and all their glory decided to get rid of single cab HD work trucks. not a smart move.
So undervalued
Love the titans
They say it's heavy, yep I love it has lots of Steel in it making it handle what it's towing.
I'm really liking my '21 Pro4x w/12k miles. I'm in sales so it has to be a dual function truck for me. Taking customers comfortably to lunch, driving by myself for 8 hrs at a time and towing atvs/tractors/firewood on the weekends. I have a 2,000lb dual axle trailer that I put a 4,000lb Yanmar tractor on + attachements. I tow through upstate NY which is all hills and valleys. It does very well and feels plenty stable.
I can fill my 16' x 6' trailer 2' tall with green firewood and it still tows like a champ.
The sound from the V8 is just bliss. I can't help but laugh at the vacuum cleaner sound emanating from the new Tundra.
I bought one as well. Very happy so far.
@@jmasoncars4452 Good to hear!
I would trade my 2016 silverado for this in a heart beat
Yes it's a good towing vehicle for a lot of people's needs out there. A little less optioned up and you get over 2k payload.
Yes, and the 2k payload is the real word number. Great truck!
At first 1700 pounds of payload doesn’t sound great and that’s less than my F150. But when you see it’s fully loaded with options it’s a little more impressive. Fully loaded 1/2 tons are much closer to 1k pounds of payload. Loaded up Ram 1500s can be under 1k pounds. And the extra weight of the Titan XD would make it more stable on windy days. If one of the big three did something like this it would sell very well but it would hurt their heavy duty sales so they won’t do it. Ford has their HDPP but you can’t get all the fancy stuff from the higher trim levels.
Absolute truth, the xds payload is high when you consider it's a loaded crew 6.5 bed 4x4. Heck some of the 3/4 ton diesels get into the lower 2ks on payload. Ford's hdpp crew long 4x4 base model is 2590 or so, it would be much lower if it was a loaded truck. The aluminum body helps ford's payload. I'm a ford guy but you can't find that particular truck at all. It almost doesn't exist.
Nice review Andrea.
These new titans are the best. Rugged built. Love em
The XD is an excellent vehicle. Nissan made 2 mistakes. #1 choosing the Cummins engine nobody else wanted. Nissan had many alternatives. #2 The marketing message. Dumbed-down, vulgar, ignorant Amurcuns simply have not the mental capacity to comprehend the sophisticated XD message. Nissan should have marketed it as a bad-ass, heavy-duty, beast of a half-ton truck.
That Nissan is pretty heavy! My diesel dually weighs 7500 so, not much more.
I agree with Andre on this one. If Nissan calls this truck their XD than numbers have to be higher. The payload and towing numbers should be higher. This is why Nissan fail short with the Cumins engine in their trucks. The numbers weren’t as
good as they could of been. Smaller diesels made ny the big three in their 1500 trucks towed more than Nissans 5.0 liter Cumins.
I wish people would consider this over the big leagues....
I wonder who is writing tfl's titles now. Second time in two weeks one has been written incorrectly
I recommend you guys change the name of the pit to the "Pit of Despair." Like from "Princess Bride" LOL! 🤣
I'm leaning towards the Titan XD over the 2021 Tundra but my only concern is the JATCO 9 speed transmission. If I knew it would be reliable I would go with theXD. Any comments on this transmission over the long haul? I know with the Tundra's Aisin transmission I'm solid. I'd appreciate any insight anyone can give me.
It's just a licensed Mercedes 9G-Tronic which is known to be a solid transmissions.
New video editor? Sound levels are terrible, the music volume is too loud you can barely hear Andre talk over it.
I still have my 2002-tundra purchased new. 250k miles to date. I love Toyota but am concerned with their shift to turbo engines. That being said, the Titan has had some transmission issues. With my holding onto vehicles for a very long time, which do you think would be the most reliable long term?
I wonder why you don't use the weight distributing hitch more often.
With that truck and the trailer/weight he is towing there is no need.

I had nothing but problems with my 2017 XD, ended up getting it repurchased under my states lemon law. I really wanted to have the issues resolved but the dealerships in my area just couldn't figure it out and ended up blaming Nissan of which didn't do anything other than the repurchase. Hopefully all the issues with the platform have been worked out by now.
What were the issues with your truck?
Wow, lemon vehicle? Can you elaborate what issues? Going through about 50 comments, this was the first one that said anything about issues.
I've gotta say, I don't like the soft background music throughout the video. Otherwise I love your videos!
The tow rating numbers are more realistic. I drive an 18'f150 and I get controled by the wind.
Would Andre trade his ford for the XD?
Still in love with a 2012 QX56. Can we get a short-bed Titan built like that?
Relatively good price for the truck
I'm super bummed the Titan is being discontinued. I have a 2011 Titan S king cab (base model) that has been an absolute tank for towing my 22ft travel trailer. I was planning to drive it two more years and then replace it with a new crew cab Titan. Now I'm not sure what to do...
Buy a new used one anyways. They're gorgeous
You didn’t even talk about everything it comes with…. Like factory gooseneck…… I loved my XD but I had the diesel and it broke down so many time Nissan bought it back even after 130k miles…. I have a 18 tundra now and it’s a great truck that doesn’t break down but I really miss my XD and the way it towed my travel trailer. Nissan rated them to low and didn’t market them worth a crap
I wish Nissan would bump up the towing by 2000 lbs and payload by 800 or 1000 lbs. this truck can handle it.
F150 has a higher towing capacity, but when it comes to handling the load the titan xd wins. Because it's a heavier truck.
10.3 mpg on premium fuel with a light load. imo if you plan towing anything a lot get something with a diesel.
I have a ‘21 XD and tow a 26’ camper with a lot more wind surface and average 11 mpg.
I bet they didn't use premium fuel and have you seen diesel prices. I wouldn't get none of new diesel engine, unless i needed it for work. I love my 14L Detroit.
Series 60 best engine put ever into anything.
@@zelenizub2036 he stated that he used premium fuel in the video.and thats not much cheaper than diesel.
i currently own a 1 ton diesel and will be upgrading to a half ton diesel in the near future..To bad they did away with the diesel in the titan
As soon as Nissan starts selling the Titan Warrior, Nissan will be back in the game.
how is the goose neck towing, i have always had the regular pro 4x fully loaded thinking bout getting a xd pro 4x fully loaded
Most reliable truck still produced and sold in the USA. Since the tundra sucks now.
You “make think”? Typo?
Its a nice truck but I hope Nissan got something in the works for this truck next year or so. Its numbers needs improvement.
Every time I see a video like this, I feel so much better about spending the $61K on my 2022 Duramax Silverado LT 2500. It was definitely a lot of money, but so well worth it. With 910 lb/ft torque, I can pull the big 5th wheel trailer and barely notice it’s behind me.
“Every time I see a video like this, I feel the need to brag about my truck and it has 910 lb/ft and it can pull anything I swear”
FIFY
Seems like someone is a little jelly haha 😂. I’m not bragging at all. Just saying that for the price, I feel like I still got a good value. After spending 3 months finding my truck, I should be able to be happy and share. Keep in mind that some Dodge and Ford diesels have even more torque. But ya, my trailer weighs 12k pounds empty, so I needed a suitable powered truck for towing it. I can always talk about the Mercedes suv I traded in if you want me to brag lol 😆.
Take your illegal garbage border crossing self back to Mexico, Jose. Nobody wants you here!
@@alanj7306 haha no, I have no need for a heavy duty whatsoever so no jealousy here. I guess with the price tag it makes sense why you brought it up, but still, thought it was a bit of a stretch initially. Anyways, good on you, no hate here.
⚠️⚠️☢⚠️⚠️ YOU MIGHT think ANDRE is LAME. BUT, I was surprised how well he can balance himself after a bottle of cheap vodka.
did you mean to say "you MAY think..." What is "make think"?
What's the normal gas mileage folks are getting on the 2020+ XD?
Nobody needs a XD for a razor load the thing up fill the truck with max payload and Max towing and 0-60 test it
Your title should say “ You May think”
Awesome
