Good morning TFL .. Time for the Best Auto Journalism on UA-cam.. 😍
Thank You
The team thanks you
I bought my Titan XD based on TFL Truck reviews. It really is the most underrated truck in the market. I tow a 9,000 lb travel trailer in Colorado and have no issues.
Gas or diesel
I’ve got a NV3500 and it tows really well. I don’t like the transmission technology. Tow haul basically does nothing. I manually downshift down hill and under deceleration. I’ve noticed that going uphill it won’t hold cruise control. Even a light trailer with no power issue at all as soon as I start climbing a hill cruise shuts off. Really irritating over long distance towing. I love the van and if they could solve those issues it would be perfect.
I had 2 f250s 05 and 08 while owning an xd. The Nissan blew my other two away. It was slower than the 08 but towing and comfort there was no contest.
@@Jv19979 gas engine. My previous truck was a diesel (Duramax). The 5.6 engine is a a great engine. I haven’t had any issues.
@@1tylerproud we have a 2020 nv3500 also tow haul works great what yr do you have
Every time I see a Titan video I get so jealous because it's such a handsome truck... and then I remember that I have one in my driveway and everything is OK again. xD
This comment hurts my brain
@@AUA-camChannelwithNoName just like your toe lotion
proves beauty is in the eye of the beholder because it's the ugliest truck on the market. I think sales prove that.
@@kona6451 I think the badge on the grille, the class it's in, and the market it's in has more to do with the sales than looks. Tundra sales also suck ass compared to the big 3 for the same reason.
Yeah I love the look of the titans
I’m a tundra guy(5.7L V8) but the Nissan Titan is very underrated truck , it’s definitely a very solid truck 💪🏻
The guy in the hat.." Very well said, I felt safe I felt in control ,its not a race car"... great context, wish More so called Reviewers did said that Out loud.. great job..cheers Allan
That's why they call him "Mr. Truck". His is the only truck review that matters
Exactly! There's more to towing than acceleration and speed. To me stability is more important.
I've been tire kicking trucks for the past year as I have been looking for one to replace my aging 2007 Silverado. Without getting into details, I will not buy another GM Product again due to the less than stellar experience I have had with this truck and a Tahoe so I have been looking at the Ford F150, Toyota Tundra, Ram 1500 and Nissan Titan. Based on the reviews I have seen the Nissan Titan is a hidden gem and the XD appears to be a very good vehicle, even better the used ones that are 1-2 years old are very affordable.
I have a 2021 Pro4x and love it, I've owned every brand and this is a great truck for a much lower price.
Loving my 2021 Nissan Titan Pro4x.
People underestimate this truck.
Snooze you lose.
I love my XD gasser. It's basically a 1500HD if you think about it. Just a little more push and pull than a half ton. Just a more controllable half ton.
The way I see it is this truck handles like a 3/4 ton and has the power of a 1/2 ton. Perfect for weekend warriors.
@@jjsemperfi interesting perspective. I am a weekend warrior and very happy with my Titan XD.
I’ve heard people describe it as being between a F150 and a F250. So like a F200 class truck.
The 5.6L sounds so good. Truck did very well on the I.G.
Definitely an underrated truck. Lots of value for the money in it.
I wish you guys would have shown more of the actual run up the hill so we could have seen how the XD was performing in real time. Sure the time of 8:27 to the finish line at the end is great, but I want to see how it handled it during the actual run.
@HalfShell not at all. Drive one and you will see! Especially the Diesel!
I love the fact that this is the first car in the world that has an emoji in its name: xD
I have coin, if you have wares.
XD isn't an emoji...
Scion did it first with the scion xD
@@ericksanchez7787 lower case vs upper case makes a big difference. XD vs xd
@@farrous13 well on the scions logo it's lower case x with upper case D.
I have an 06 frontier with the 4.0 v6 4x4 and it has that same payload management system. Its just as amazing now as it was in 06. So excited for the 2021 fronty!!
Ive got a 2015 sv, and ill be keeping it far past when i should get rid of it. They are going to destroy the rep and reliability of this truck when the new one hits. Nissan now has no idea what truck buyers actually want. They cater more to the people who want to tow with their crossover.
@@Lrules364 lol tow with a crossover. Have you seen the idiots that go off road with them. AWD is junk.
@@Lrules364 obviously you have no research done on the Frontier. glad you like yours. I have 2021 with the new powertrain and it blows away my previous one in all possible ways. 2022 will have the same powertrain as the 2021 but will have the new skin. I suggest you watch the reveal in Feb of the 2022 Frontier - I heard from a Nissan engineer that it's a beautiful monster.
@@farrous13 ok, we'll see who's right here.
@@Lrules364 huh?
3rd gear will keep you at 55 up a 8%grade for 6 miles pulling 10,000 lbs. she is going to be revving out but she will do it. Don’t forget to mention the horrendous cameras.
I will say I bought my Titan after watching the comparisons on TFL. It was basically between the Titan and ford for the tow capabilities but bought the Titan XD do to stability while towing. The ford on paper seems to tow more but porpoising isn’t stable to me
How's the titan holding up? Interested in the longevity of these trucks.
@@optimusprime3484 Con el mantenimiento correcto. Carro para 20 años.
I towed a 35 foot loaded 5th wheel with 4 pop outs from the Canadian border to Sacramento down I-5 with my 2017. The trailer was an older model and I must tell you it was heavy. It linked up to the Curt 5 wheel hitch built for the truck. The hitch drops into factory gooseneck hole and locks into the factory puck mounts and was rated at 16000 lbs capacity. If you know I-5 the passes in southern Oregon and Northern California drop heavy Commercial rigs down to 30 to creep up the grades. My Cummins Titan held the speed limit and didn’t even move the temp needle in the engine or trans. What was also surprising is it’s unloaded comfortable ride but that ride continued regardless of the trailer out back and minimal squat. I am just now on my 3 set of tires at 80,000 miles. Thought it might be time for brakes but the mechanic said they are still good at 50%. Now it’s not doing that kind of work everyday of its 80K but it’s not showing it’s age!
The Titan Xtra Duty is what every half ton truck should be like. Even though it's technically a 5/8s truck.
@woof beast isnt it in between on the ride or does it just ride like a 3/4ton
@@Thirty-OughtSick rides better than a 3/4 ton. I have a 2016 xd platinum reserve cummins and going from my ram 2500 work truck to the xd is night and day.
@@Jackmerius_Tacktheretrix idk, i drove a 2020 2500 Chevy and it rode like butter
I love how they made the GVWR 50lbs over the threshold so they didn't need EPA!
Just made it more expensive to register in most states. Half tons are 8000 and under in majority of states, above that is commercial fee territory. Example, here in IL, that truck would need D plates, and an annual safety inspection, so $288 a year. A typical half ton, 8000 and less is $151 a year. Is it really worth that extra fee cost of 1700 pounds of payload? There are half tons with nearly 3000 pounds of payload with under 8000 GVWR. Better off getting a 1 ton and be done with those fees.
They didn't do it for the consumer benefit. It was to cover their short comings.
@@acdii the non xd is the lower rated truck so one could go with that instead.
@@ClawDogVending Explain, and maybe I'll take your comment seriously. I sold my ford to buy my XD and have never been happier.
@@acdii not their fault your state wants to get more tax money off you. I just found out last night my state has an extra 20% tax on beer and liquor when you eat out. Not doing that shit again.
I don't know that the Nissan is under rated. It's not popular and not selling well but there are a lot of reasons for that. None of the current "half ton" trucks are really half ton rated. They universally rate them higher to be competitive.
Great video as always. Fun to watch. You need TFL masks to look more professional. I would buy them! You can get an XD for much less 😍
The future is going to judge the Covid years so harshly
I own a 18 XD gas SV, the payload on sticker is 2250lbs. Not sure why the fully loaded version has 1750payload. But anyway, XD is very under appreciated by North American market. The best truck I ever owned.
Well, that’s not exactly what we meant by “take gun smoke up the Ike!” 🤦
I watch this periodically as a reminder of how beautiful that truck is!
Do this with actual half ton and not the 3/4 ton Titan. Max it out I want to see that video.Also I want to see the towing specs up front on the truck and he weight you're towing. Not mixed in somewhere in the video.
THIS TRUCK is UNDERRATED it competently tows better than an f150 and most half ton trucks from other brands, what sells those trucks is brand loyalty. Why ppl are loyal to car companies is beyond me.
it's technically a 3/4 ton truck so it has to tow better, mass up front equals more stable towing out back, but 1708 payload is half ton payload, so don't even think about 5th wheels, most 1/2 ton towables start out at 1500 pounds pin DRY. If I am going to pay for 8,001 and up registration fees, the 1 ton is the way to go.
Beautiful truck!
Wow very impressed finally a good video with no Nissan hate! Thank god good video!
The Titans in a class by itself!
The fit and finish in my 2021 Nissan Titan XD Pro4x is above other brands I looked at. This is my second Nissan truck and I love them. The seats alone can sell the truck after u sit in something like a Chevy or ford
The old 7 speed has the exact opposite issue, it downshifts and engine brakes on every lift of the throttle. I have commented here that I refer to the trans as "my reluctant partner in crime" for its behavior unloaded, and now with nearly 40k miles on it in just over a year and a half, I will say that I haven't been annoyed by it, It's something that I gotten used to.
Like Mr. Truck, I wish they had hone full 3/4 ton with it. If you climb under it and look around, It's as if that is what they were going to do, and at the last second, changed their minds, It is completely overbuilt for the GVWR- which isn't a bad thing, just a bit of a missed opportunity.
My truck weighs in at 6788 with me, usual tools and a full tank. Empty (ish) mpg's have averaged right around 15 in mixed driving, although I do have a light foot. Get too crazy with the loud pedal, and single digits WILL happen. Towing MPG for me has averaged about 12. My trailer is a 16x8.5x7.5 enclosed, which weighs right at 6800lbs (basically a shop on wheels). Keep in mind that I live in TX, so not a lot of hills here, and I generally tow at 65, so your results may vary.
Owner of a 2006 titan, 122k miles and still a beast.
Everybody is talking about the price. Yes 69k is a ton of money, but you can get these titans for thousands under sticker price, and usually with low apr from Nissan.
Plus you get Nissan s 5/100 BTB warranty.
With only a $50 fee per repair.
Paul Wicklund Will be useless when Nissan goes under soon. The Titan is going away.
Brian are you sure .... talked to Nissan dealers they are selling more cars of late.
Joseph Neubauer They are giving away junk at a loss.
Brian News flash most of the car dealers do this, not just Nissan.
Good to see Mr.Truck again! Great video as always, TFL!
Thanks
Holy Moly,I can’t believe it! You guys actually liked it. Another great video guys.
No shots of speedo and tach while accelerating and maintaining the climb is a let down. We gained nothing on the uphill experience 😔. You guys used to show a lot more on how the truck worked up the grade. Let’s get some of that back in here please.
EXACTLY!
They need that time for ads for the hitch
They probably filmed it, it just didn't make it into the edit. Easy fix if they see your comment.
5:35
@@logantcooper6 A couple little bites of the tach at one point in the run doesn’t paint the whole picture. They’ve shown the instrument panel at different points of the run in many other videos. It helps show how it does at various difficulties of the climb relative to other trucks on this test.
You guys must have not ever towed really heavy with a true half ton. I had a f150 max tow ecboost. Was rated at 11,300 pounds. Towed my 7000 pound travel trailer with it and was scared to death. It was so unstable. Now I have a 2018 XD with the Cummins and towing the same travel trailer it is unbelievable how much difference in towing with the XD. The XD in my opinion is for true half ton people that want much more stability towing. Ford is screwing up by making the trucks lighter to increase the towing numbers. I actually had a 2017 f250 king ranch as well with the 6.2. I was a diehard ford fan. Still like them but you will call me crazy but I could never get that truck to be stable either. My XD is heavier than my old 17 f250. Now I will say this also had a 2011 f250 with the 6.7 and that truck was a beast. Was extremely stable why.... because it was heavy. A heavier vehicle will always be more stable
I try to tell this to other Ford guys and they just won't have it. Brand loyalty shouldn't blind you to real world experience. The XD handles trailers way better than and half ton.
Tony Wright I agree. I’m a truck guy and have owned a lot of brands beside GM. Not that I have anything against them. If people would actually tow with a XD and then tow the same trailer with a half ton they would understand. And yeah it’s expensive. But I looked at a 2019 f150 platinum it was over 70 grand. Only had a payload of 1150 ponds lol. I’m not sticking up for the XD because I own one. But the truck is super nice. I plan to keep mine a long time.
@@kcguy4025 yep. I towed my 7k lb travel trailer loaded up from Iowa to Washington State and back with a 17 Ram 1500. It wasn't fun. Just went to South Dakota from Iowa with the same trailer behind the XD Cummins. Way better experience. Even strong winds, I felt more planted and safe. And I loved my Ram 1500, but it is what it is. I think half ton lines have inflated their numbers to sell trucks.
Bro ford knows exactly what it's doing: pumping up the numbers to impress people who arnt going to tow anyways
@@rickybobby8224 haha definitely.
I live in Colorado also, tow my 13.6k lbs fifth wheel with my diesel XD up and down the mountains. Recently went to SD with it. Pulls and brakes like F250. I don’t care what people say about it. Even hauled a 15k lb fifth wheel for a customer with it and it even handled better with that weight. But again I make sure the trailer brakes are set up very well.
HalfShell that’s cool. Thankfully we have you to know everything.
I have a 17 Platinum Reserve XD and I know what you're talking about. I tow a 12500 camper all over Texas, the truck can certainly do way more than rated. Its a shame Nissan didnt rate it properly. I think truck owners are deceived by the numbers and thats why they hesistate to make the switch, if Nissan rated it like they should they would probably sell more trucks.
Yea and no turbos required.
I hate ecoboost. And I'm a Ford owner
Brought my 22 Titan Pro4X
home on 5/8/22, I am Very happy with it. Have not attempted to tow as my Manual recommends 500 miles prior to towing. Looking forward to towing out west this summer. Love the Truck!!
I would love to hear your opinion after two years of having the truck
Just wanted to thank you guys for listening to feedback and wearing the paper masks instead of the cloth masks. Your voices are much clearer and easier to understand, it makes watching the video much more pleasant. Thanks again! 👍
Who cares if the wear mask. This a free country.
Robert K that’s what I was thinking
Mask are ridiculous land of the free home of the brave. Mask are a joke.
Smh these comments just show we ain’t going anywhere with corona LMAOO
Bullet proof! Love my 21 Pro4 X XD..OHhh yea and im not driving a mainstream herd mobile!
Payload on this XD is higher than my 2020 Ram 2500 Cummins with Megacab. I can't imagine feeling more comfortable hauling more with the Titan XD. Hmmm... Biggest Achilles Heel with the Titan XD is the MPG combined with tiny fuel tank.
Someone who actually has a sensible comment.
Thank you for showing to manually shift to hold your speed going down a steep grade should always be done with all gas trucks
@HalfShell that about as stupid as comment you could make if you dont feel safe while the truck is in tow Haul ( gaining speed and not holding speed where your comfortable or slowing down). Your comment is not to shift manually. But if I feel comfortable and safe and the truck allows you to do it and not damage anything on the truck then why heck would you not do it plus it makes safer not only for you but everyone around you.i quess I the only that cares about safety
So great to see you guys together again)
For having recently being painted, the shine on Gunsmoke is almost nonexistent. TFL, I hope you didn’t pay much for that job.
So great to see you guys together again. Love the video ! Nice truck
be much better if they made the Nissan XD with a dually
i wish they would just go for it and make a real HD
@Kain J they do but it's a cab over industrial truck
They would never sell...
They did make a one off dually for sema last year:) ua-cam.com/video/klUruUdsHdk/v-deo.html
I think this will be my next truck I just hope they keep making them by the time I can afford one
I like the Titan very much, but sadly it is not easy available in Germany. There are few import dealerships but they make this US trucks much more expensive.
Maybe in some years i will import one (or F150) by myself.
I love your videos and your "real world testing"!
Stay safe guys!
This truck shares a lot of parts with the NV3500... I wish you guys would test the NV3500SL on the gauntlet! It’s a 1 ton van with the same engine...
Love the ike videos but wish y’all would have shown more action in the truck going up the hill like in prior vids. Was it in auto going up hill or did y’all manually drop gears? Was there traffic on the up hill climb that slowed you down?
Please repeat test with regular Titan.
I can't believe Mrs "Truck" did not burst in flames for sitting in a Nissan Truck!! (hes gotten better over the last few years, but a bit of a truck "tool") LOL
Thanks for the Clip TFL
You have to love just how good that v8 sounds. Sadly, it makes me wonder just how long it will be around since the XD has already been discontinued for Canada. Offering it in a single platinum trim level is also risky considering that it is only available to a very small segment of the truck buying market at that price point. If Nissan thinks that circulating press vehicles is all the marketing they need to do, then they will be in for a surprise as nobody really knows what the XD is all about.
I have on good authority that Nissan Canada is going to keep the Titan
Nissan did the marketing all wrong for this truck, ive got a half ton ans now want to trade to an Xd for towing and box size.
Underrated pickup!
I want one. It looks good and I love the leather and wood inside.
Mr truck would make an awesome voice over for an animated character in a movie. He has that unique kind of voice.
He is Literally the prospector from toy story 2
Only has the 6 bolts and leaf springs are like a 1500 truck. So it maxes out at 15k pounds max.
Mr. Truck needs to be on more often and keep you guys from becoming another yuppie channel worrying about dampening tailgages on $50k halrf tons! He is real!! If your business model is number of channel hits quite kissing OEM butts!!
Thanks
@@MrTruckTV WE LOVE MR. TRUCK!
@@wvcorvetteman Thanks
I have seen 3 people comment in Titan Facebook groups that the Titan XD tows better than their previous F250 or Chevy 2500. How about doing a Ike gauntlet comparison between a Titan XD and a big 3 3/4 ton crew cab, 6.5 ft bed, 6L-range gas engine towing a high profile 11,000 pound trailer?
Love my Titan! They are terribly underrated by people. With I had gotten the XD instead of the non XD. For the price I don’t think you can beat it. Too bad people are so biased and Titan sales are bad.
I really was interested in buying the Titan, but just couldn't get what I needed for the price I was willing to pay in my area. I didn't test drive the XD (more truck than I need). But the regular Titan felt and drove great. I think it is a very competitive truck. Unfortunately, Nissan has a tough road ahead in the U.S.
1708 pound payload on a 3/4 ton rated truck is why. Nothing to do with bias, has everything to do with how they classed the XD and the minimal payload for it. Big deal, has a 5th wheel mount, drop my 5th wheel on it and it will sit on the axles with a 2463 pound pin. it would be very hard to find a 5th wheel trailer that it can tow with that tiny payload.
@@acdii payload is up to 2350 if spec right and 1650 for the non-XD. You don’t get horrifically large number with the Titan but you gain confidence and the best warranty in the Truck world.
I’ve towed with my personal truck in the mountains (2012 tundra) and the trucks my company uses for work (2019-2020 silverado’s), and I’ve found the grade braking to work exactly as intended on both. You usually have to press the brake pedal once or twice initially going down the grade to get the grade braking to active. Once you do that, it usually works fine, if you’re in tow haul mode. Wonder why TFL has issues with grade braking on the trucks they test.
Ive always wondered of they'd work better if they set the cruise
I like when Mr. Truck is with TFL. Makes the show more informative. TFL AND MR TRUCK ROCK!
Thanks
2 things. Needs more payload capacity and a bigger fuel tank.
Bigger fuel tank I agree
it has 2,400lbs of payload, that's more than any half ton I'm aware of...
@@RLC2020 ford has a 3800
@@adventurefishing3190 not even close. We are talking F150, not super duty.
Show me an F150 that has 3800lbs of payload...you can't
@@RLC2020 per ford webiste
Depending on the engine weight and cab-and-bed combination of your preferred F-150, you can expect a maximum payload capacity of between 1,520 pounds and 3,270 pounds.
I would like to see more of the manually shifting videos, I think it would be cool to see and get a better feel for the different trucks to see more how we might use them vs. using the factory settings.
I love my 17' Titan
for that price you can get a fairly well equipped 3/4 ton diesel 4x4 that would tow much more safely 9k
But that's not a good daily driver/run to the store truck. I bought my 5.6 Titan XD because I only drive 5 miles each way to work and that's not good for a modern diesel. The titan XD SV trim is 15k less than the Platinum and you can't touch a diesel 3/4 ton in the $50k range.
You know, in Illinois, and many other states, 1/2 ton trucks are 8,000 pounds and under. With this one being 8650 GVWR, it would have to be D plated (8001-12,000), AND have to be safety inspected. Might as well go to a real 3/4 ton if that's the case. Curb weight 6942. Anyone who is considering this truck, check your DMV first, you really don't want to get pulled over by a knowledgeable trooper and get an under registered ticket, which can happen even if you aren't towing or hauling.
Hard to find one for sale, I was at my Nissan dealer yesterday, the closest Pro4X was 600 miles away.
They stopped production, most manufacturers did unfortunately cause of covid :(
thats true, i searched for the last 4 months and ended up going just over a 1000 miles to georgia to find the pro4x i was looking for
Rejean Paquet Nissan dealers don’t want to stock em in fear they will sit for 2 years...
Joshua Eaton nonsense I’ll be getting my 2021 diesel gladiator at the end of this month and I ordered the last week of last month
Viewing this 3 years late because I am between this and a 3/4 ton gasser (6.2L) for my next truck. Ive seen some XDs for sale in the 20k-25k range with relatively low miles. I don't need a diesel, but I do plan to get about a 27ft Center Console one day. Seems like the perfect truck for me considering it can handle 11000 lbs towing and the two tone Platinum Reserve/Pro 4x look so good. Only thing that makes me a bit nervous is the cylinder 7 issue I've heard in these trucks.
I'll put both Nissan Titan trailer and Ford and tow them with my Honda Ridgeline HD 👀
Tell that to my 4.9l 4x4 f150 it's only got an RV cam 4 barrel holley and 3.55 all around
Awesome video! Can you get a 2020 Tundra and max tow with it? I want to see if the lack of transmission cooler really doesn’t have an impact like Toyota says
When did they take the trans cooler off the tundra? My 2016 has one. I'm sure all the tow pkg trucks still have it. Mine has a oil and trans cooler.
Mr M 2019 and 2020 model years. I have the tow package and no trans cooler. I’m pissed because I traded in my 2018 because I needed the longer bed. Come to find out after I will have to pay to get one put on
@@TheRoeshow0324 what a joke that is. Pure penny pinching. That's why I'm keeping my 2016 til the wheels fall off. I also like that mine doesnt have that toyota safety sense crap.
Mr M smart move! That was the plan with the 18 until the dealership called and asked to buy it back. Gave me a good deal and price on a double cab. Wishing now I just kept the 18. Just frustrating
Toyota is just going to crap on their trucks hell they can't even offer a fully boxed frame on the trundra and now the taco is being built in mexico.
It's funny reading the comments with all of these triggered F150 fan boys...oh no..a Japanese Truck may be better than my American truck..lol..by the way..Titan is made in the US by American workers. 😃👍
Exactly
I'm so glad you guys were using a weight distribution hitch. I'm so tired of seeing people towing heavy without them.
TFL, explain to me what 5th wheel you can tow with a 1700 payload? Add the hitch and and a passenger...... not much payload left
pay load is actually 2240lb usa.nissannews.com/en-US/releases/2021-nissan-titan-press-kit
@@scott8238 that is the max payload number for an XD, not specific to the truck they were using in this test. Options like leather seats, glass sunroof, etc. add to vehicle weight and decrease payload capacity. and Jason Larsen your exactly right.

Yeah that's terrible. My f150 with max trailer package is 2380 lbs. Payload yet this XD is supposed to be a heavy duty half ton. My f150 is crew cab 6 1/2 foot bed Lariat very comparable truck.

I love your channel channel and the best channel ever on UA-cam for towing and truck reviews
Nice to see Mr Truck again. ...long time no see.
Sure like the Titan. ...sensible buy I believe.
Thanks
Nissan did a great job with this truck and I agree with Mr. Truck...I'd also like to see them jump in with both feet on a true HD truck. I have an 18 XD and it's a great truck that I bought cheaper than I could've gotten any similarly-equipped domestic half ton for. Right now there is no inventory so the prices are sky high.
"I love these mirrors maaaan!" 😁 Always nice to see Mr. Truck on the channel.
3 mpg with a 25 gallon fuel tank. So we’re not going very far are we?
Well not if you're going to tell uphill the entire time 😁 in all seriousness this truck should have at least a 30 gallon tank
Have to admit I’m not a Nissan guy. Had a couple when younger. This is not a half ton but those who have to buy foreign it’s a decent choice. Someone commented about being happy it doesn’t have turbos. I gotta say coming from a V8 to a 6 colder turbo a few years ago I love my “quiet” v6. No drone when pulling a trailer for hundreds of miles. On the good side the.Nissan doesn’t have to pay some additional taxes where I’m from because it’s over a certain weight. Negative- no EPA.
What I didn’t like about the test is that we now use manual modes to keep the truck slowed down and yet just a short couple years ago we made the trucks use tow haul. Ya, my 6 cylinder suffered from those tests but I regularly use the manual mode on king downhills and speed isn’t a factor as a result.
Decent test, but with millions more Fords, GMs, Rams built I’ll keep mine, thanks.
I have an older Titan that tows just fine and a newer Armada (Patrol) that does even better. While I like the Ike, unless that trailer is giant wind sock, most trucks will handle the excess weight just fine. The excess drag, however, is the real killer on towing.
Love the "Walking Tall" truck
Now put the Nissan on the trailer and pull it with gunsmoke up the Ike!
The Titan’s biggest problem is the pricing structure: too many desirable options are bundled with too many other undesirable options. And there aren’t enough ala carte choices. Nissan is shooting themselves in the foot.
Buy the S model and upgrade what you want.
First time I seen anyone from tfl exited to drive the titan.
I'd love to see the Titan xd vs the F150 with max tow package and see which truck actually tows better.
They did a video on this exact comparison
Nissan should put the engine/transmission combo from this Titan in the next QX80/Armada, if they don't decide to discontinue the Titan after 2021. I've heard that Nissan has decided to stop selling the Titan in Canada.
Something I noticed TFL with my Titan and my 2020 F350. If you ease on the brakes in tow haul mod it acts normal. But if you apply the brake more quickly or with force these things will down shift big time.
Yup just tap it quickly
I never understand all the problems with engine braking and tow haul mode. My '12 F-150 and my '12 Suburban both did great with engine breaking in and out of tow/haul (but in was better). I set the cruise and if I start to gain speed going down a hill, they down shift as far as necessary to maintain speed so long as there are RPMs available.
Truck is oweson it feels solid pulling compared to 1500s unloaded it rides like an old truck once you load some weight ride improves I am very please with XD SV model with few xtras good value and standard safety technology
Hey, thanks for what you're doing for non-profits! I work for one that provides equine-assisted learning to kids who need non-traditional learning tactics, and we depend on folks like you. Kudos!
It is a nice truck but that price doesn't match lol. At $69,000 you might as well buy an actual heavy duty that's more capable.
Why didn't you show us the full up hill run? A perfect run is 8 mins right? where did it slow down? I like when you put the camera on the dash and we can watch the speedometer and tach. I have watched most of your videos since the beginning i always give a thumbs up. For the FIRST time I'm going thumbs down; you guys cut corners by not showing the full run up the hill.
Filled the place the f150 heavy half did but were actual comfy lol
Y'all ought to do the "Super Ike" with a Silverado 1500 Duramax 4x4. That one has the high tow rating for 2020. Love to see how it performs with the rated 9300 lbs and a lack of air.
I just wish they had a pro 4x package for a six passenger with leather interior. I left Nissan many messages on this and no response. I think they would increase their sales by at least 10 to 20% if they did. I can't stand center consoles and I know a lot of people around me who can't stand center console. They take up valuable space. That's why it's almost drive fords and Dodges but Nissan was to come out with a Titan XD package with a pro 4X and leather seats for 6 people I would buy one.
Really wish they would bring back the 5.0L cummins in this new Titan XD. I liked that motor and the old style truck was a nice truck for the money, this new one would sell great with a diesel.
I have an 18 XD that shifts immediately with a brake application in tow mode, it raps to 4K rpm, like a Lexus LFA. Wish those big turn signals in mirrors were running lights too. Found fit and finish to be sub par, panels and bed sections did not line up making odd gaps, spaces and lines on my regular cab SV LONG BED.
