I bought a 2023 Pro 4 X brand new last yr. Have been very happy with my purchase. Add in the 5 year 100K bumper to bumper warranty and it was a no brainer for me. Especially now that I’m seeing all the nightmares with the Tundra engine and the uncertainly around the Hurricane Inline 6. Those were the other 2 trucks i was considering. Glad i went with the reliability and peace of mind that comes with the V8. I can live with my interior & tech not being as nice
Thanks for the quick presentation. Nissan needs to properly market these very capable trucks. Toughness, reliability, comfort are a 3 way tie for us that use our trucks for service work. Fuel milage matters too but even if theres a 4mpg difference; over the year you'd spend 300-400 per year more at $4/ gallon. That isn't worth the price jump of a 2.7L F150 IMHO. Because when towing, hauling, or otherwise loading the engine; the v8 will be under stressed and match or beat the v6. Also high compression v8 engines have much better grade breaking that turbo v6s or turbo i4. That's a serious matter here in NY where there's very few flat areas.
I agree - leave the massaging seats and massive screens to the movie theaters! I don't want to pay for it in my truck (and lets be real the manufacures make the oackages so you cant get what *would* be considered essential wants without including that BS).
@@northlander4370 The Ford 150 with the 5.0 has a faster 0-60 time than the Titan, and gets better fuel economy. However you can't go wrong with the Titan - trucks are made for towing and hauling, not racing. Some guys I work with have the new Titans - I really like them.
@@johngarner9929 the F150 is lighter so that really helps in the acceleration but also hurts when it comes to stability when towing. Ive noticed they .ove around more than other trucks when towing boxy trailers in the wind.
@@dantimber My 2021 Ford F150 5.0 has cylinder deactivation (Ford tested for several years before engineering it with the 5.0). The engine's factory program prohibits cyclinder deactivation when the transmisision is in tow/haul mode. I have no issue towing, just have to go easy on the throttle or it will take off too aggressively - no long term negative engine effects have been assessed from cylinder deactivation by the Ford Engineers or Mechanics. I must add - the Titan is a solid truck with the best factory warranty on the market and certianly worth looking into...you can't go wrong with either truck. Ford does recommend more restraint when towing such as limiting speed to 65 miles per hour which is consistent with most trailer tire speed ratings and using trailers with brakes when the load exceeds 1600 pounds.
I just picked up a new 2023 XD Pro4X and with the end of year sales and deals, it was an excellent price that the big 3 couldn't compete with. I think the infotainment screen is fine. If you go to the Ram size screen, you lose all the dials and buttons. I have a couple of Teslas and everything is controlled from the infotainment interface and sometimes that can be a pain not to mention a distraction.
@@tl8885$54.2K and change out the door (tax, license, reg.) I put $10K down, financed the rest, 72 months, my payment is $750 and change. Christmas, end of year, and New Years deal was killer. It's a 2023, was on the lot 90 days and dealer wanted to move it as he had 2024s coming in. I think the only difference is the 2024s have 20 inch wheels, I have the 18s. I have a blue XD which is not as popular as the regular Pro4X in tan.
I'm on my 3rd Frontier King Cab 4x4 but plan to test drive a Titan next week. Stupid question. Is the steering wheel and dash aligned or is it angled to the driver's seat?
Does it have a CD player? I'm old school. I despise touch screen t.v. size information centers. Nissan still puts old school gauges which is very cool. I wish my frontier had the gear shift on the steering column. I'm now thinking about a Titan pro 4 x if the price range gets where I need it to be. Probably in the last quarter of 2023.
If you’ve had a Nissan Frontier then you are already aware that Nissan trucks (especially the Titan) are EXTREMELY RELIABLE TRUCKS!! As a nearly 40 year old fully disabled combat veteran who has to survive on my VERY FIXED AND LOW INCOME so I’ll never be able to get another one, but I bought a 2007 Nissan Titan back in 2008 (December of ‘08) and I actually traded in my BRAND NEW F-150 that I had just purchased 7 months prior with 10 miles on it and got my ‘07 Titan with 22,000 miles on it. To this day over 15 years later it was THE BEST VEHICLE I’VE EVER OWNED!! I had to sell it in 2012 due to the fact I was being unexpectedly medically discharged and didn’t have a job lined up in the civilian sector so I had to cut out the payment and the insurance costs. Anyways, YOU WILL NEVER REGRET BUYING A TITAN!! My goal in life is to get another one ASAP, I don’t care what year or how many miles as long as it’s either an SE or above I’d be ECSTATIC. Anyways I wish you the best of luck and remember ….as much as guys don’t want to admit it, the Nissan Titan is WAY MORE AMERICAN THAN CHEVY/GM, Dodge or even Ford. Everything is built RIGHT HERE IN AMERICA!!!!!
@@MAGA4EVA1986 I drove Chevy trucks from the early nineties until 2018. Both my avalanches were assembled in Mexico. I'm getting close to retirement so I bought the sv 4x4 in 2018 then in 2020 I bought the Pro 4x4 with the new engine transmission but loved the fact it still has the old body and gauges with cd player. Now I'm less than a year till I retire and will probably not buy a titan unless I find a steal of a deal. Thanks for your service. I served in Desert Storm with 24th mechanized infantry out of Ft. .Stewart Georgia. Victory First!!
How long have you have this truck? Any issues with transmission? I did have an Armada and have so many issues with transmission.. which kind of got me vias against Nissan.. But I like the Titan. Much affordable truck compared with American brands.. Thanks
still got my uncles titan. its an 04 1st gen the only thing thats gone bad are the cats they are damaged and a known issue. But for crying out loud its nearly a 20 yr old truck and I haul my 19 ft trailer with ease Edit: original trans and engine and axels. New ball joints and ball bearings, tires, off road struts/ springs within the last 6 yrs at nearly 340k miles. Trans and engine oil changed once a year.
You mentioned the Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra 6.2 and EVERYONE needs to be aware that GM uses that infernal DFM Dynamic Fuel Management or Active Fuel Management that shuts down cylinders. DFM & AFM causes tremendous problems with lifters and valves. Chevy has been trying this shit since the 80's and it's never worked well especially as you get a few miles on it.
Agree although it's better than it used to be. Ford added cylinder deactivation to the Coyote 5L V8 for the 2022(?) model year but they don't mention it much for good reason. The Titan 5.6L V8 has NO cylinder deactivation. Thank you Nissan!
@@rmorales1029 they already have 200,000 no problems. A Cummins motor with a Toyota transmission is a good combo. It’s more fun to drive then a ram tbh
My 16 XD has been dead reliable running a 120hp tune. The engine is good, the emissions crap is what sucks, just like in every other diesel. Ive had no issues and it tows extremely well. More than enough power. I tow on the 30hp setting and its a world of difference from stock.
Owned a 2015 Ram 1500 with the 5.7 for 6 years - was a really reliable truck. Now have a 2021 F150 STX 4x4 with the 5.0 that has 3:73 gears. Not much of a difference between the big V-8s when towing. The Ford has an advantage with the power to weight ratio, but has, in my experience, a very aggressive factory program.
Love these trucks but I disagree about needing the large screen. Buddy with a Ram had his go out. Mind you when that goes out you lose all climate control as well. On top of that it costs over $10k to replace. No thanks.
I belive tundra and titan are the best pickups in the US market because the gmc, chevrolet engines with the dfm (deactivation fuel management) which fckd the engine at 100k miles and the mpgs of these v6 turbo engines really sucks. Im not going to talk about ford worst nightmare of engines the only good ford engines are the dully pickup truck other than that they sucks so bad.
Technically, the Ford 5.0 liter competes with the 5.6 L V8 from Nissan. Hear me out. The numbers you quoted, we're pretty close accurate. It's 400 horsepower on premium fuel and 390 horsepower on 87 octane. Its 413 lb-ft of torque, not the 418 you quoted. The same year F-150 with a 5.0 makes 400 HP on regular fuel and 410 lb-ft. So if you're comparing apples to apples, on regular fuel, the Ford F-150 5 L V8 actually makes 10 more horsepower and 3 less pound feet of torque. Those numbers are so incredibly close to each other, I don't know why you discounted the Ford 5 liter in the first several minutes of your video. However, the Ford absolutely dominates the Nissan 5.6 L in terms of horsepower and torque per liter. It's a much smaller package making those numbers. I drive a 2019 nissan titan and love the thing, But don't discount that 7,000 RPM redline Ford 5 L. Go test drive one of those things. Coupled with the weight savings from aluminum, that thing's an absolute beast.
The low GVW and the towing is actually higher than you think. And you can only toe so much and carry so much weight and a 1500. If you're goingna carry a lot of weight. You need a 25 or a 35 or a dump truck. So I don't understand why people think that you have to put that much weight.
Literally just bought a 2024 Pro4X fully loaded and I’ve never been more in love with a vehicle, it’s amazing!

I just bought a 22 pro 4x. I ain't gonna lie I ❤ it
it ❤️ the gas pump.
I love my Titan, such a pleasure to drive! A bit of a gas guzzler though.
What milage you get? My 06 is at 12-16mpg but its always loaded for work and is nearly 300k miles
2020-2024 Titans get good gas mileage and they’re reliable.
Thank you for the information dude. Honest real world review!
I think this screen is plenty big and prefer the way it fits nicely into the dash like they planned it instead of chevys afterthought
Informative and to the point, great video and explanation!!
It also competes with the Ford F150 with the 400 hp coyote V-8.
3.5 F150 see my other post .

This one is a new truck. We haven’t had many issues with Titan transmissions. Also, having a 5/100,000 mile warranty give’s additional piece of mind.
