Great comparison! They're both very nice trucks... But I really like the sound of the V8 in the Titan; it's solid steering feel is a good addition also. Analog is fine for me - I'm a little old-school.
As much I do like the looks of the ram rebel and it sounds good from the hemi5.7 but I would go for the titian for three reasons,1= 5.6 engine sound better from stock,2= old school column shifter,and 3=NO engine shut off/On feature
Column shifter is an automatic deal breaker. I like that truck but the column shifter is way too 90’s for me. Hopefully they upgrade to something more modern in 2022 model
@@michalp2362 Same. I would literally choose the Titan if it had a console shifter. Other than that I think the Titan from a longevity perspective is way better.
Your reasoning is what I have heard a lot of people echo on the Titan and I can agree. It is sorta the last of a dying breed of "normal" trucks.. i love my 2017 Titan.
@@jaredcarroll483 can I ask why youd prefer a console shifter? In my Titan i can raise the console up and have a bench style seat to fit 6 passengers. Do the console dedicated shifters allow movement of the console to accommodate a 3rd passanger up front? Im genuinely curious because ive not been in a truck that had a console shifter.
Ram makes a nice truck. I’d take a Ram over a Chevy or Ford, but there is something about the Titan I can’t get past. I am getting a Titan, even over the Tundra.
Titans are awesome trucks. I own one and came from owning 2 Rams back to back and just got fed up with constant issues . Titan is now over one year and zero issues . The Rams I owned were frequent visitors to the dealership for each of the 3yr lease terms

Thank you for these reviews. With everything I’ve been watching I am completely sold on the titan pro 4X Especially with the five year 100,000 mile bumper-to-bumper warranty.Now just to find one since I can’t find any available Titans here at any of my local Nissan dealerships or nearby city Nissan dealership. Hopefully by the end of this year or the beginning of next year production will have Caught up to the demand.
I recently switched from a 2021 trail boss 5.3L to a 2019 Titan and the Titan build quality, fit and finish is much better. Also feels a lot tighter in general. Got to say tho, the Rebel looks badass and ram has the interior figured out. I would take either of theses trucks over Ford ecoboost.
I got a base 2017 Titan S and love it. No start stop and has an actual column shifter. Mine is really bare bones, no power mirrors and vinyl floor (no carpet) which i actually prefer now in snow conditions and having a 6 year old kid. Mine didnt even have the mandated backup camera (I guess it may have been built early 2017) as I have heard they mandated them in 2017 and newer vehicles. Had the dealer throw in an aftermarket one and have it installed. Didnt have the tow package but previous owner installed a Curt hitch so the dealer also ran the 4 and 7 pin wiring to the bumper included for free . I do have push button start which I hate and prefer a key because once the key fob battery gets low I have had to literally hold the fob next to the push button for it to recognize the fob.. big thumbs down for me. Was in the market actually for a 3.3 v6. F150 or the 3.6 V6 Ram but nothing really available. For the same price I got my Titan with 4x4 and lower miles than the other brands in the used truck market last year. Loving my Titan soo far, slapped on a cherrybomb extreme muffler and she sounds awesome. I think all the big 3 come with auto start stop which I dont care for personally. I know it can be turned off but Im curious how much fuel savings it's actually doing if you did a comparison over a month. Edit: sorry for writing a novel of a comment.
Both trucks sound bad ass but if I’m right, on the titan you are more able to rev higher rpms than the ram due to the governor which might be the reason why it sounds louder.I was expecting the titan to be just a hint faster than the ram but there both the same. Either way both trucks are great and they are worth the money.
I wouldnt go with either :) I would go with Titan XD Pro4x. Can do all truck. Extra duty. Off-road no problem. Towing with confidence no problem. Great discounts off MSRP.
No folding mirrors, no 360 camera, less power, and around $3-5k more expensive in the used marketplace… I don’t see why anyone would pick the Ram over the 2020+ Titan, especially in the pro-4x or platinum reserve trim.
Not stiff, most American trucks have electronic steering versus the Titan which has hydraulic steering…it’s heavier. For those of us that like trucks to feel like trucks, we prefer it. With that said, if your misses drives the truck often, I’m sure the electronic steering in the grocery store parking lot will help them a lot.
They always keep the tires overfilled on the lot from when it’s in transit. My tires were at 49psi when I got it. Once I aired them down it was so smooth.
I think one big thing to be mentioned is. The new titans aren't based on the first gen vk56de. It's a vk56VD and if you search High mileage you really don't see many past 150k. I have the new titan and am hoping to get atleast 200k. But the carbon build issue from being direct injection. Just Google infiniti m56 or q70 or any infiniti with the 5.6 and you'll find they are very bad about carbon build. A catch can. And premium gas is hopefully the ticket. I've got about 70k on mine so far. And hope it's as reliable as the old school titan.
Nissan recommends having fuel induction service done every 30,000 miles. It is likely that the people having carbon buildup issues are abusing their vehicles by not maintaining proper maintenance and service.
Hmm, I know you’ve stacked up the rebel to the trail boss but how about the pro 4x vs the trail boss? Think it’d be some good content! Maybe I missed you already doing that idk...too many to keep track of lol
Ive heard that the Titans still use hydraulic steering vs electric power steering which I heard you mentioning the difference. Seen a lot of vs vids on the big 3 and even including Toyota and Nissan I have to admit the Ram interior is far superior than all of the other 1/2 ton trucks. I have heard people say that the Titan still has the "real truck" features that some of the others are missing.. no start stop and column shift seems to peak a lot of preferences in some people from what ive seen in comments in some of these videos. Hey you have a cool gig, i wouldn't mind test driving vehicles and give my opinions and input on them. Thanks for the video
I would go with the Titan.

Titan because:
All steel body
Adaptive cruise control
Handling is better
Cooling seats
Sounds better
More reliable
No auto stop start
None of that 1/2 the engine shuts down BS either. Straight up V8 with no gimmicks. Go Titan!!
I have got Nissan Titan Pro-4X 2019
Fun to drive, 40000 mileage no issues
What’s your MPG?

I love the column shifter in my opinion. It makes it feel like a truck with a column shifter and less like an suv/car.
Ive got a 2020 Pro 4X, love the truck! Its just fun to drive.
Looking at buying one now maybe a XD..its crazy how much you get for the price versus the competition
Titans have so many issues though compared to Toyota’s.

The Titan looks better on the outside, but you can’t beat the Ram interior! Ram hands down has the best radio and interior of any truck!
Titan for the win!

Ram built fast truck l like the red color on the ram rumble. Nissan built a awesome truck love the red color on the Nissan titan pro4x
Great review, both very nice trucks
Ooh both nice trucks
I love the rebel but unfortunately with where i live i dont feel like having my suspension fail every year when winter hits
What do you mean your suspension fails every winter? Looking at these trucks and trying to decide.
Looks and capability Ram
Reliability and price Titan.
T I T A N.
Titan for me please
Not gonna lie both are sexy trucks!
Great video Ben both trucks are good. But I will take the Rebel since I like ram more.
idk which truck to choose, they are both good
I have a 2019 Nissan Titan PRO 4x it is by far the better-quality truck. I was a dodge ram fan until I traded it in for the titan.
TITAN!!!

going with the titan 1 big reason the warranty 5years 100K bumper to bumper
Test drove the pro4x. The ride was very stiff. Not sure if it’s tuned that way for off-road or it needs to be broken in.

No it doesn’t lol. Nissan blows ram out of the water. Especially considering how expensive “guts, Glory, Junk” is.
