Update, Had mine since new and now at 276,000 kms. This is the best truck ive ever owned. One wheel bearing and one ball joint and power steering line. Oh yeah , brakes too and tires, Rock Solid truck and will drive for another 6 years. hopefully
That's the best stock exhaust I have ever heard. And you know what, I like what Nissans doing, who cares if it's dated and crap...if it ain't broke don't fix it.
I just wanted to say "Thanks." This and other videos on the Titan helped me make the decision to buy a 2015 Titan Pro-4x Crew Cab. I have had the truck for a full year now, and don't regret my decision for a second. In fact, here comes my review 12 months and 16,000 miles later: Sure I could have had better gas mileage, a fancier interior, or an American brand but the Titan works great for my needs. The factory BFG tires, although sufficiently capable, can't seem to do much off-roading without a flat. But almost everything else is great (I plan to get BFG All-Terrain T/As when the stock rubber wears out.) I even decided not to lift the truck since I so enjoy the fragile balance between off-road capability and on-road handling. Oh, and the Titan is unbelievable in snow, ice, and rain. The stability/traction system works better than any vehicle I have ever owned. Although it reacts quickly to my leadfoot leaving a stop sign or light, at-speed it is akin to having bumpers in the gutters for bowling. I wouldn't trade my Titan for a Raptor, or a new Titan. I love the sunroof, Rockford Fosgate premium sound (with subwoofer under driver's seat), power rear window, a/c power in the cabin and bed, effective parking sensors/backup camera especially for hooking up a trailer solo, and the timeless rugged good looks. While the navigation, bluetooth, and infotainment system sucks royally, it's terribleness does give me a good laugh on occasion. Phone calls and texts (Samsung, Android) always work well, although I often have trouble getting Pandora to work. XM Satellite radio is nice and can be renewed for $5/month (in multi-month increments) if you call and complain about the monthly rate. I watched you test a 2017 V8 Endurance Pro-4x going up a rocky steep road. I personally challenge the new gas Pro-4x to a contest versus mine. Although I lack 60 horsepower, I make up in reduced weight and have plenty of torque to spare (along with lower gearing for the 5 speed Pro-4x). Also, a really good place to test vehicles, in Colorado, is the area outside of Crested Butte. The new Pro-4x doesn't look as good, has less ground clearance, and exceeds the maximum size for a good off-road vehicle (I believe my Titan is the max size for decent off-road capability while retaining usefulness as a tow, haul, and daily drive vehicle.)
I've had a 2012 Titan for 11 months now and I'm quite pleased with it in all respects. I redid a lot of the suspension because while technically mechanically sound it just felt worn out. I also did some exhaust work to get rid of that stock 'tractor' type of sound. This engine sounds awesome when you give the room to breath that it needs. The gas mileage could be better, yes, but my budget was $22,000 and I picked up the Titan itself for $14,500 - which put more money in my pocket for modifications or updates. I can spend $30,000 CAD on gas and still not be up to the cost of a new F-150 or RAM or Silverado - for how much I drive that's gas for the next 7 years. So gas mileage? Not a big deal to me.
I've had the crew cab 15 pro-4x for 4 years and 45k miles. No issues except a rear pinion seal leak and the nav/radio unit volume button quit working. I really like the truck because it's not over blown with technology and soccer mom shit. I put a cold air intake and cat back exhaust and it improved the mpg by about 1-2.
I have this very truck, color and all, but crew cab. It crawls through snow fields and anything effortlessly. As far as the comment on "cheap plastics", that goes for almost anything and everything out there. It's the design, is what they should have said. To add to that, any man in his right mind, wants simple and easy for a fully capable off road truck. No guy wants to go cleaning details in an off road truck. Keep it simple and easy, wipe off and go. I've driven literally, almost any truck out there and they all use mostly plastic for interior that looks cheap. Only difference is design. The ride is great, Ford F-series trucks are about the closest to this nice of a ride. I have a lot of respect for Ford trucks, but love this one more!
What kind of fuel economy can you achieve in your Titan? I really like them but am hesitant to get one as many people say they average 11..thats just too low for me.
I average around 14 city/neighborhood driving. On the highway a little over 16. I just got my Airaid MXP in on Friday and the controller/computer is still adjusting to it a bit, but it's already going up a little. Most people that drive easy with this intake saw as much as a 2mpg increase. I drive easy. If you floor it and get on it, then Yes, you will be around 10mpg. I will say that new I was 11.4 - 11.7 until the 1200 mile break in and as crazy as it was, MPG went up and I was 13.6 to a tad over 14mpg around town. Now waiting to see how the intake does. Honestly, I love the truck the more I dive it and so does the family. It's a real blessing. Hope this helps you some. Take care!
Thanks for the response! yeah thats not really terrible mpg. I could deal with it, and i drive easy normally. Thanks for the info...also, if you remember, once your airaid is all sorted out, i would be interested to hear how that effects the mpg
I too have this very same truck. I was recently rear ended by a punk kid texting in a Mercedes who never hit the brakes. Bent the bumper down and bent my toe hitch cover...completely totaled his car. These trucks are built absolutely tuff !!!!
The Titian is underrated. People may not think it's the best, but it's hard to be when you're that old. It is a very dated truck, but it's still a good truck that offers plenty for the money.
First Impressions: Yes, it is 10 years old but on the flip side It's 10 years old. It's been here for ten years. For what it is and the class it's in the Titan is a good middle of the ground compromise. That being said, I can't wait to see the new Nissan Titan XD!
Arguably the best looking full size around, in my opinion. Nissan has always brought new innovations in the truck world. First compact truck. First long bed compact truck. First 4 drs in a compact truck. First true full size pickup. First standard V8 in a fullsize. Guaranteed the next truck will have new innovations that the others will copy. Hopefully Nissan will keep their trucks off road capable and not try to compete against luxury sedans which is why price tags have soared past 50K.
***** Thats the thing it isn't uhhhmmmm material....? All I have to do is type anything and you get all red in the face..... like a dorky kid getting picked on in highschool.....

Thanks Guys for Representing for us Nissan Titan Enthusiast's! I own an '05 KC SE FFV custom tuned, full bolt-on's Nissan Titan & i LOVE it!!! I've set it up to be a street/track truck! Modding it has been a lot of fun & i've met a LOT of great people along the way!!!! ;) Currently my personal best from last season is 13.57 @ 99mph in the 1/4 mile! With a new exhaust setup & a few more little tweaks here & there i will be shooting for a 13.50-13.4x this Winter! ;)
6:50 'Bout sums it up right there. I have a '15 Titan, King cab, and I have no problems with the "clam shell" doors. They didn't mention the double jointed hinge so that it folds flat. Works like a charm.
Titans really are a great truck. It just needs updating is all. The greatest part about them is that you rarely see a rusted Titan. The body simply doesn't rust. Great and honest review.
Personally, the plastic interior doesn't bother me at all. I mean, it is a pickup truck after all. Meaning that it will likely receive a good deal of hard use and it will be very easy to clean afterwards. When I look at something like consumer reports, it is usually just the high tech stuff that trucks have in them these days that give people problems. I currently drive a 2WD 2009 Dodge RAM with the regular cab and the older 3.7L V6. The extras are super minimal. My truck has yet to give me the first problem. I'll be glad to see the Titan get the transmission with more speeds and the diesel engine option, but I really don't have ANY problems with this truck as is.
Good Review, The Titan is getting dated but I don't think the interior is that bad. yes the materials need upgrading but I think it looks more modern then the Interior in the new GM trucks, I mean they still use a 1980's column shift and the dash as well.
Great review guys.. I checked out the Titan in early 13' and I felt very much the same way.. It's really has not changed much in this last decade and now Feels very 'last gen'.. Lovin' those Ike Gauntlet vids.. Please keep them coming!!! Great job!
We do several videos of the same truck. So, there will be a few videos regarding the Nissan Titan that thousands of nonexistent viewers (according to you) will watch. We have fun getting big money doing these videos. Seriously, hundreds of pesos. If you don't like these videos (that six million people watch per month on both of our video channels) try another one. Thanks for watching.
nice truck, I have the 2010 Nissan Armada Titanium , we love it, it has Power and torque to spare, Will run over 100mph in a flash. 0 to 60 is like a Dragster for a 7000lb suv. have seen 19.5 mpg on hi way 12 to 17mpg is average. has the big towing package 9400lbs is impressive . The 5.6L is a well built torque monster. Pulls like a Mule and runs out of the gate like a Hot rod !!
I actually really like the raspy sounding exhaust that it has. And it is dated. When it first came out, it way a good ways ahead of the others. And it was the first full size truck to come from the factory with 33's.
I know these videos are to test a stock truck from the factory, but most who off road at all or even going hunting driving through muddy fields etc.. add a more aggressive tire than a road radial. Take this Titan, add a leveling kit and set of Toyo MT’s then go test it. A big difference I guarantee you
We have the 2004 titan and we have not had any break downs since 2004. And my uncle has an f250 and his broke the turbo clamp when we went camping and the power steering is slowly breaking down and it's his second f250. So my point is that the nissan titan is really reliable
I did not know that. That's one of my deciding factors for my next truck. I was going between thr frontier and titan, but I think I'll be able to have the titan longer if I've got a growing family.
Nissan was dealt a major blow when the truck they were co-developing with Dodge/Ram was cancelled. I am glad they didn't pack it in and pull out of the full-size market, but developing an entirely new truck will take time. I respect they are trying to do it right rather than half-hearted like Toyota. Still, a minor cosmetic refresh along with the QX's 5.6 and 7 speed powertrain would have likely brought them more sales.
WitherTux I like them yet I don't like them useful but driving a lot not comfortable for large construction workers after work you want to sit and relax not be couped up in the back
We will use the same boat test for 0 to 60 comparisons with all of our other trucks. But the IKE test must be beefed up, so the Titan, Silverado 6.2 and Sierra will initiate the updated test. The Titan is easier to park in my garage. How do I know? I parked a '14 Ram, '14 Tundra. '13 Silverado and the Titan in the same place, my garage.
All the full size trucks are pretty good. People get too caught up in throwing around the term "uncompetitive." Sure it's down on power now compared to the others but all the trucks will do the same things. It's really a matter of preference. I have a 2013 Tundra and everyone likes to tell me how uncompetitive my truck is, when it does everything everyone elses trucks do that I know.
it gives that appearance since its more rounded. might be easier to park in your garage Nathan, but I guarantee you its still a PITA, like the others, to put into a normal sized parking spot.
great review guys. I have an '11 pro4x crew cab that's lifted and love it. poor mpgs? its a full size truck with a v8! get a prius if you want economy. outdated? possibly but remember back in 2004, the titan was the game changer in the full size truck category. hopefully Nissan will do that again in 2015.
They had an update planned that would have had the Titan built on the Ram chassis. Chrysler's sale and eventual bankruptcy scuttled all that and they had to start over from scratch. That pushed everything back by 3 + years.
ok titan question. I have an '05 CC and I am looking to improve numbers (HP/Torq). I cant get a clear answer on which is better, bully dog (40415) or superchip or even anything else. any advice?
I'll chalk that one up to'u don't have a clue'. besides MPH my numbers are just about the same as 'the big 3' and its 10yrs old. and $10k less at the time
in '05 when I bought it, it was either #1 or #2 in EVERY area when compared to the 'big 3' with their highest options. bigger crew cab, more HP, more Torque, towed more (1/2 ton), carried more, better clearance. MPH was close to the same and it was 10K less than all but toyota. I even asked chevy to just match the price and I would still buy theirs, but I couldn't buy a lesser truck for more money. so fast forward 10yrs. I have not had 1 issue (other than the MPH) and the truck is paid off. so unless I want to drop another 50K+ on a top model, my truck still matches up. I know its dated and they didn't give many options (if any) and been progressive, but all the other 4 trucks didn't start getting their acts together until mine actually showed up.
I love watching tflt but i feel that Roman is very prejudice toward other trucks, i just feel that he is a ford guy or nothing, yeah for is the est selling truck in america yada yada, but combine gmc and chevy together out sells ford 3 to 1. I dont know, just my opinion i really like watching the channel this is just my only complaint.
+Justin lawrence I had a 05 frontier, never had a problem. Didn't even change a light bulb in it. Just maintenance. Traded it for a Titan after 110K trouble free miles. My buddy has 04 Titan, except for the recall on the front brakes, never has had a problem with it. I've had my Titan for about 3yrs, 52K on the pro4x and haven't had a problem. I'm old school, rather have a big v8 with a 5speed tranny. Even tho a 6th gear would be nice. Don't like the new ones, even tho the interior is very nice.
I have a coworker with a 2008 titan with 275k. A friends brother has a 2005 with over 300k miles. They have great engines and transmissions. Also offroad well.
I think they have already shown that the lighter trailer is no challenge for any of the trucks. They need to push them a little harder and they may as well start with this one.
I hope Emma won't be on this channel. My friend Paul needs a big truck, I suggested this truck to him but he says that the steering is rubbery, is that true?
The locker on these only operates in 4 lo. I believe most other brand trucks around the time these Titans were built were same way with factory lockers, 4 lo only.
I think Nissan missed by not offering a smaller V8 in the Titan. As it is they drink a lot of gas and you really don't have an option that most people would live with as a daily driver. That is really kind of a shame because the Titan isn't a bad truck.
Yes it was last done in 2004, why? The Titan is an amazing truck, and what is the point of making something better that is already amazing? FYI, it is getting the V8 cummins, and a redesign in 2015.
You're taking that a bit out of context, that test was more biased towards off roading than usual truck duty. So even if the Tacoma did score higher in that PUTC test, it doesn't really prove they can make a truck. And as far as the test is concerned, all things considered the Power Wagon did better in the off road sections, it ended up in third because it has the usual faults HD trucks do.
Haha, full hard on in the johnson tunnel. Awesome. Great review guys love the Titan. Needs update though. Not sure why Nissan waited a decade...nice bus driver too.
Oh & the new Cummins is great for people who are towing, but would REALLY like to see Nissan Corp. offer a couple different powertrain options like some of their competitors do! Personally if i could buy a Brand New Nissan Titan with their direct injection VVEL VK56VD (400HP/400+TQ), 7 Speed Auto Trans that's currently a standard option on the Infiniti QX56's, i would trade in my '05 & be a HAPPY MAN!!!! :)
You guys need to follow a specific format including price/performance/specs.. Driving around on dirt roads like a couple of high school kids with dad's truck just produces vids no one wants to see.. Do you guys do this for fun or do you get paid to do this stuff?
Pretty weak testing... That trail where they were talking about articulation was easy enough for a 2WD honda civic. I wish they really showed some real testing, and not just drive it around fire roads.
Thanks for the review guys! Eagerly awaiting the 2015 changes. What the entire US wants to know, or maybe it's just me LOL, is: 1 - "When is Nissan bringing the Navara's 3.0 v6 diesel to the US with a 6 speed manual in the Frontier?" 2 - "When is Nissan bringing the Navara's 7 speed auto to the US Frontier for US wimps who cannot drive a manual?" But mostly, it's all about the manual!
I actually like the exterior of this truck! Inside to me seems a bit bland in the looks department but it ain't supposed to be a luxury truck. As for electronics for me simple is good! Now as much as I hate to complain. Please grow up and stop the Juvenal delinquent talk. I would like to share some of these video's with Church people but the stupid vulgarity stops me. Now when you compare this truck to the Chevy. Well if the 6.2 can't smoke a 5.6 I would be surprised.But it still should be interesting as to how bad and what does each truck cost.
CAFE is forcing trucks to become behemoths to reduce the mpg requirements. Nissan should wedge a 4.0L V6 under the hood, and keep the old King Cab Titan as the next Frontier. Whatever it takes to keep MSRP under median household income.
The Titan is also about the same width of a Ram, a bit wider then the Ford, just looks more compact because it doesn't have the big ugly square front end the Ford and GM do.
It's hard to believe this is still a 1st generation Titan. Sales must be at an all time low for this truck. Tundra, F150, Silverado, Sierra, and Ram are all up to date, this one is NOT.
That is because it took 10 years and at least two model changes for the big 3 to catch up. At least Toyota got it right. People fail to see or remember that when the Titan came out there was not a half ton truck even remotely as advanced(right word?) as the Titan. IMO Ford is the only one right now of the big 3 that I would consider. Eco Boost 150 is a beast with out a doubt. STill today even at 10 years old the Titan is up to date to every half ton made, there only down fall is they don't have a larger or smaller engine package but the 5.6l VH56 still gets it done with it's silly smooth 5 speed Auto (first ever in class BTW)
***** This isnt grammar school its youtube. Go cry me a river dip shit The titans purpose is a lot like yours. Go through life wearing the same clothing and be slower then everyone else.
Shane J. Not true, the titan doesn't even have touchscreen, power folding mirrors, just got a backup camera, low tow capacities, plastic front bumper, what a joke. For my money, I can get an older domestic that is much better.
Would have to disagree with you. My frontier was the best truck I ever owned. Could keep up with the big boys. Got a 2012 pro4x mainly cause of price. They haven't changed since 04. Thats why I like it. No 8 speed tranny or ton of electronics. Have you tried towing in traffic with that? Horrible. Titian has a lot of hard plastic, but still comfortable chairs, good low in torque and can go anywhere any other truck can for 15 grand less. If you want gas mileage go diesel
In a vacuum the Titan is an excellent truck. Unfortunately 11 years have passed since it's introduction and there's better trucks out there. Why someone would buy a 2014 Titan instead of a lightly used one and save $5-15K is beyond me.
Ian Clancy Yep, and Nissan knows this. Not so much that the depreciation factor, but the last couple model years before a major redesign is the best time to buy any vehicle as people tend to hold out for the new one, and generally all the kinks are worked out. Dealerships in my area are currently blowing new Titans out for $10,000 - $15,000 below MSRP
Update, Had mine since new and now at 276,000 kms. This is the best truck ive ever owned. One wheel bearing and one ball joint and power steering line. Oh yeah , brakes too and tires, Rock Solid truck and will drive for another 6 years. hopefully
That's the best stock exhaust I have ever heard. And you know what, I like what Nissans doing, who cares if it's dated and crap...if it ain't broke don't fix it.

Kevin Gillespie anyupdates ..? Abby regrets on your 2015 .. Would you still recommend over a 2016.. I'm in the market between this or a ridgeinen
I'm extremely interested as well, not sure if i can look past the safety ratings though.

I really like the truck because it's not over blown with technology and soccer mom shit. I put a cold air intake and cat back exhaust and it improved the mpg by about 1-2.
I have a 2015 SL 4x4 and I had the same volume button problem
Titan still the best looking truck on the road right now
Titans are archaic pieces of shit. They best hurry and get with the times.
Patrick Connolly old yes, pieces of shit, no
+Patrick Connolly master piece.
Actually 6 years later it's still true. The titan is the only truck that has not be way over styled with cheap looking fenders and quarter panels.
10 years later and it definitely holds its weight. There’s some gorgeous trucks out here today but the titan is timeless and beautiful
Pay $40,000 for a Titan with cheap plastic, or $50,000 for a Ford with cheap plastic. At least in the Titan, you know shit's gonna work properly.
I know right!!? Fords are just too ugh
Darren Thorsen hell you can find them for $25k now one of my contenders for a construction truck
Ford will work to
@@rickybobby1347 not every single time tho
If you want a truck to work right every time, and I mean every time you turn the key, get a Tundra.

6:50 'Bout sums it up right there. I have a '15 Titan, King cab, and I have no problems with the "clam shell" doors. They didn't mention the double jointed hinge so that it folds flat. Works like a charm.
Im really impressed with not only the level of detail in this video, but also how hard u guys must work with both channels putting out great content
I think we have forgotten what a truck is used for , its a truck for truck stuff period
That's what i look for in a truck to do truck stuff
Betcha Nathan owns one of these. Constantly defending every aspect of it.
Being up to date usually means more leather and knick-knacks inside but not more capable off-road.
Ya gotta have leather interiors, Bluetooth, cell phone immediate connections and a 99 speaker radio or the dumb yuppies freak out. lmao.
Titans really are a great truck. It just needs updating is all. The greatest part about them is that you rarely see a rusted Titan. The body simply doesn't rust. Great and honest review.
The frame rust in half
For a truck that hasn't changed much for almost 10 years, it's still pretty nice. That engine sounds awesome!
Personally, the plastic interior doesn't bother me at all. I mean, it is a pickup truck after all. Meaning that it will likely receive a good deal of hard use and it will be very easy to clean afterwards. When I look at something like consumer reports, it is usually just the high tech stuff that trucks have in them these days that give people problems. I currently drive a 2WD 2009 Dodge RAM with the regular cab and the older 3.7L V6. The extras are super minimal. My truck has yet to give me the first problem. I'll be glad to see the Titan get the transmission with more speeds and the diesel engine option, but I really don't have ANY problems with this truck as is.
Good Review, The Titan is getting dated but I don't think the interior is that bad. yes the materials need upgrading but I think it looks more modern then the Interior in the new GM trucks, I mean they still use a 1980's column shift and the dash as well.
Great review guys.. I checked out the Titan in early 13' and I felt very much the same way.. It's really has not changed much in this last decade and now Feels very 'last gen'.. Lovin' those Ike Gauntlet vids.. Please keep them coming!!! Great job!
We do several videos of the same truck. So, there will be a few videos regarding the Nissan Titan that thousands of nonexistent viewers (according to you) will watch. We have fun getting big money doing these videos. Seriously, hundreds of pesos. If you don't like these videos (that six million people watch per month on both of our video channels) try another one. Thanks for watching.
I sure as hell like the looks of this model vs. the 16'
nice truck, I have the 2010 Nissan Armada Titanium , we love it, it has Power and torque to spare, Will run over 100mph in a flash. 0 to 60 is like a Dragster for a 7000lb suv. have seen 19.5 mpg on hi way 12 to 17mpg is average. has the big towing package 9400lbs is impressive . The 5.6L is a well built torque monster. Pulls like a Mule and runs out of the gate like a Hot rod !!
I actually really like the raspy sounding exhaust that it has. And it is dated. When it first came out, it way a good ways ahead of the others. And it was the first full size truck to come from the factory with 33's.
I know these videos are to test a stock truck from the factory, but most who off road at all or even going hunting driving through muddy fields etc.. add a more aggressive tire than a road radial. Take this Titan, add a leveling kit and set of Toyo MT’s then go test it. A big difference I guarantee you
Love these off road videos !!!
Nissan and Toyota truck do have really good resale. Better than american trucks
Really great review, I like that Nissan has kept it an old school truck for so long :D
We have the 2004 titan and we have not had any break downs since 2004. And my uncle has an f250 and his broke the turbo clamp when we went camping and the power steering is slowly breaking down and it's his second f250. So my point is that the nissan titan is really reliable
I agree with other commenters. Don't increase the towing weight yet. You could start adding more weight for the 2015 titan and F150.
The part the forgot to tell you... tow package comes standard in the titan.
I did not know that. That's one of my deciding factors for my next truck. I was going between thr frontier and titan, but I think I'll be able to have the titan longer if I've got a growing family.
Nissan was dealt a major blow when the truck they were co-developing with Dodge/Ram was cancelled. I am glad they didn't pack it in and pull out of the full-size market, but developing an entirely new truck will take time. I respect they are trying to do it right rather than half-hearted like Toyota. Still, a minor cosmetic refresh along with the QX's 5.6 and 7 speed powertrain would have likely brought them more sales.
I was going to post something smartassed, but your screen name already speaks of your character.
Awesome keep doing the those awesome videos you guys do
I've had a Titan for nine years, blows away the big three garbage for sure. I don't miss trips to the dealer every other month thats for sure.
I like the extended cab. I guess I'm the only one.
+WitherTux no your not.
WitherTux I like them yet I don't like them useful but driving a lot not comfortable for large construction workers after work you want to sit and relax not be couped up in the back
WitherTux wish mine was a extended cab instead of a 4 door
hey can you guys tell me if the back windows roll down?
When the bloopers video gonna come out? I bet you guys have a lot of good footage:-) Thanks for the great videos:-)
Awesome truck cant wait for the towing test
We will use the same boat test for 0 to 60 comparisons with all of our other trucks. But the IKE test must be beefed up, so the Titan, Silverado 6.2 and Sierra will initiate the updated test. The Titan is easier to park in my garage. How do I know? I parked a '14 Ram, '14 Tundra. '13 Silverado and the Titan in the same place, my garage.
Can you do a review on the Honda Ridgelibe?
All the full size trucks are pretty good. People get too caught up in throwing around the term "uncompetitive." Sure it's down on power now compared to the others but all the trucks will do the same things. It's really a matter of preference. I have a 2013 Tundra and everyone likes to tell me how uncompetitive my truck is, when it does everything everyone elses trucks do that I know.
Found one of these for $14,000 it's a 2010 with 100,000 miles 2010 exactly like the one in the video with leather. Good deal?
There a 2015 Pro 4x for $24k and 28,000 miles in Houston if you’re still looking. Crew Cab
Hey roman why cant you test the nissan armada its bassed on the titan but its an suv.
I wanna see you guy test the nissan Armada 2015
Great video guys!
it gives that appearance since its more rounded. might be easier to park in your garage Nathan, but I guarantee you its still a PITA, like the others, to put into a normal sized parking spot.
great review guys. I have an '11 pro4x crew cab that's lifted and love it. poor mpgs? its a full size truck with a v8! get a prius if you want economy. outdated? possibly but remember back in 2004, the titan was the game changer in the full size truck category. hopefully Nissan will do that again in 2015.
13.7 mpg. Man, I dream to get that in my 2012 Titan Crew Pro-4X. lol
Good video guys. Thanks!
🤣 My 2012 Titan SV with 6" lift 112,000miles, tall cap,, and 35's gets 14mpg everywhere i drive. Even with a pretty heavy foot
how well do these trucks handle on snowy public/city roads?
When are you guy's planning on reviewing the Titan Cummins diesel?
13.7mpg is better than me! I have a 2015 Pro-4x and I am getting 12.6mpg mostly city
They had an update planned that would have had the Titan built on the Ram chassis. Chrysler's sale and eventual bankruptcy scuttled all that and they had to start over from scratch. That pushed everything back by 3 + years.
do the toyota tacoma and nissan frontier on the ike gauntlet
Can you guys do the 2013 Toyota Tacoma TRD TX Baja please? Thanks if not can you do the 2014 Toyota Tacoma?
ok titan question. I have an '05 CC and I am looking to improve numbers (HP/Torq). I cant get a clear answer on which is better, bully dog (40415) or superchip or even anything else. any advice?
Sell it and get one of the big 3 trucks. Titans are garbage.
I'll chalk that one up to'u don't have a clue'. besides MPH my numbers are just about the same as 'the big 3' and its 10yrs old. and $10k less at the time
numbers? what numbers are same?
in '05 when I bought it, it was either #1 or #2 in EVERY area when compared to the 'big 3' with their highest options. bigger crew cab, more HP, more Torque, towed more (1/2 ton), carried more, better clearance. MPH was close to the same and it was 10K less than all but toyota. I even asked chevy to just match the price and I would still buy theirs, but I couldn't buy a lesser truck for more money. so fast forward 10yrs. I have not had 1 issue (other than the MPH) and the truck is paid off. so unless I want to drop another 50K+ on a top model, my truck still matches up. I know its dated and they didn't give many options (if any) and been progressive, but all the other 4 trucks didn't start getting their acts together until mine actually showed up.
I love watching tflt but i feel that Roman is very prejudice toward other trucks, i just feel that he is a ford guy or nothing, yeah for is the est selling truck in america yada yada, but combine gmc and chevy together out sells ford 3 to 1. I dont know, just my opinion i really like watching the channel this is just my only complaint.
You are spot on. He loves Ford and hates Nissan and Toyota.
afraid to buy a 2014 with all of the problems i have heard about the titan. Anyone know if this is worth the buy?
+Justin lawrence
I had a 05 frontier, never had a problem. Didn't even change a light bulb in it. Just maintenance. Traded it for a Titan after 110K trouble free miles. My buddy has 04 Titan, except for the recall on the front brakes, never has had a problem with it. I've had my Titan for about 3yrs, 52K on the pro4x and haven't had a problem. I'm old school, rather have a big v8 with a 5speed tranny. Even tho a 6th gear would be nice. Don't like the new ones, even tho the interior is very nice.
I have a coworker with a 2008 titan with 275k. A friends brother has a 2005 with over 300k miles. They have great engines and transmissions. Also offroad well.
I think they have already shown that the lighter trailer is no challenge for any of the trucks. They need to push them a little harder and they may as well start with this one.
So it's a Truck . I'm good with it 😉
The Titan is made in Canton, Mississippi.....
I hope Emma won't be on this channel. My friend Paul needs a big truck, I suggested this truck to him but he says that the steering is rubbery, is that true?
It might have alot of air induction from the front of the truck because it may have a mechanical cooling fan. My 01 Silverado does.
do a 2003 acura mdx off road review thanks. and compare it to the new one in real off road trails snow and mud and trails
but the ram gets tested with the easier run? I know you have to start somewhere with a heavier load, but make it fair at least.
I'd like to see how far these trucks with rear lockers will go in 2wd before needing 4wd
The locker on these only operates in 4 lo. I believe most other brand trucks around the time these Titans were built were same way with factory lockers, 4 lo only.
this will be one sick truck once it gets the 5.0 cummins
I think Nissan missed by not offering a smaller V8 in the Titan. As it is they drink a lot of gas and you really don't have an option that most people would live with as a daily driver. That is really kind of a shame because the Titan isn't a bad truck.
talking about trails being closed right after spinning tires/throwing mud... yall need to take a tread lightly course.
Where did you get that Godzilla shirt?
Yes it was last done in 2004, why? The Titan is an amazing truck, and what is the point of making something better that is already amazing? FYI, it is getting the V8 cummins, and a redesign in 2015.
You're taking that a bit out of context, that test was more biased towards off roading than usual truck duty. So even if the Tacoma did score higher in that PUTC test, it doesn't really prove they can make a truck. And as far as the test is concerned, all things considered the Power Wagon did better in the off road sections, it ended up in third because it has the usual faults HD trucks do.
Haha, full hard on in the johnson tunnel. Awesome. Great review guys love the Titan. Needs update though. Not sure why Nissan waited a decade...nice bus driver too.
Oh & the new Cummins is great for people who are towing, but would REALLY like to see Nissan Corp. offer a couple different powertrain options like some of their competitors do! Personally if i could buy a Brand New Nissan Titan with their direct injection VVEL VK56VD (400HP/400+TQ), 7 Speed Auto Trans that's currently a standard option on the Infiniti QX56's, i would trade in my '05 & be a HAPPY MAN!!!! :)
You guys need to follow a specific format including price/performance/specs.. Driving around on dirt roads like a couple of high school kids with dad's truck just produces vids no one wants to see.. Do you guys do this for fun or do you get paid to do this stuff?
you aint kinding there man. I have a friend who works for cummins and he said the had a complete line built and ready to go for the half ton ram.
thats got less to do with the doors being clamshell and more to do with them(and the cab) being small...relative to other 1/2 tons that is.
Finally a titan!
Could you please do NISSAN ARMADA
but why? its the same truck from 2004 so tell me why review it.
review the unrevivaled one when it comes out with that cummins
i still like this truck. i can't wait to see what the 2015 looks like, from the spy photos it looks like the truck will be ugly. i hope not.
NissanTy do you still think that?
Pretty weak testing... That trail where they were talking about articulation was easy enough for a 2WD honda civic. I wish they really showed some real testing, and not just drive it around fire roads.
the truck is given to them to test not to take mud bogging or some crazy hill climbing.
MrSenaid2010 It should, as that's what they claim it can do... right?
You can't beat the 5.7 hemi engine sound
It's a 5.6 ?
It what truck such be not fancy.
That box storage is not new, it's on a mid 70s ford at least.
Is a cute video that make excellent truck ud congratulations from me I would like to record in Spanish
Thanks for the review guys! Eagerly awaiting the 2015 changes. What the entire US wants to know, or maybe it's just me LOL, is:
1 - "When is Nissan bringing the Navara's 3.0 v6 diesel to the US with a 6 speed manual in the Frontier?"
2 - "When is Nissan bringing the Navara's 7 speed auto to the US Frontier for US wimps who cannot drive a manual?"
But mostly, it's all about the manual!
I actually like the exterior of this truck! Inside to me seems a bit bland in the looks department but it ain't supposed to be a luxury truck. As for electronics for me simple is good! Now as much as I hate to complain. Please grow up and stop the Juvenal delinquent talk. I would like to share some of these video's with Church people but the stupid vulgarity stops me. Now when you compare this truck to the Chevy. Well if the 6.2 can't smoke a 5.6 I would be surprised.But it still should be interesting as to how bad and what does each truck cost.
If you purchase this truck the first thing I recommend is buying a different set of shocks. The ranchos are not a quality product in my opinion.
My favorite trucks
CAFE is forcing trucks to become behemoths to reduce the mpg requirements. Nissan should wedge a 4.0L V6 under the hood, and keep the old King Cab Titan as the next Frontier. Whatever it takes to keep MSRP under median household income.
A giant tonka toy lol 😂😂
The Titan is also about the same width of a Ram, a bit wider then the Ford, just looks more compact because it doesn't have the big ugly square front end the Ford and GM do.
pienso que esta chingoneria
It's hard to believe this is still a 1st generation Titan. Sales must be at an all time low for this truck. Tundra, F150, Silverado, Sierra, and Ram are all up to date, this one is NOT.
That is because it took 10 years and at least two model changes for the big 3 to catch up. At least Toyota got it right. People fail to see or remember that when the Titan came out there was not a half ton truck even remotely as advanced(right word?) as the Titan. IMO Ford is the only one right now of the big 3 that I would consider. Eco Boost 150 is a beast with out a doubt. STill today even at 10 years old the Titan is up to date to every half ton made, there only down fall is they don't have a larger or smaller engine package but the 5.6l VH56 still gets it done with it's silly smooth 5 speed Auto (first ever in class BTW)
Shane J.
Titan is archaic gas hungery. piece of junk. and its motor makes alot of noise and goes no where....it needed an update 5 years ago....
***** This isnt grammar school its youtube. Go cry me a river dip shit
The titans purpose is a lot like yours. Go through life wearing the same clothing and be slower then everyone else.
Shane J. Not true, the titan doesn't even have touchscreen, power folding mirrors, just got a backup camera, low tow capacities, plastic front bumper, what a joke. For my money, I can get an older domestic that is much better.
Would have to disagree with you. My frontier was the best truck I ever owned. Could keep up with the big boys. Got a 2012 pro4x mainly cause of price. They haven't changed since 04. Thats why I like it. No 8 speed tranny or ton of electronics. Have you tried towing in traffic with that? Horrible. Titian has a lot of hard plastic, but still comfortable chairs, good low in torque and can go anywhere any other truck can for 15 grand less. If you want gas mileage go diesel
Yeah, it is a real shame dodge didn't go with the cummins diesel.
In a vacuum the Titan is an excellent truck. Unfortunately 11 years have passed since it's introduction and there's better trucks out there. Why someone would buy a 2014 Titan instead of a lightly used one and save $5-15K is beyond me.
Ian Clancy Yep, and Nissan knows this. Not so much that the depreciation factor, but the last couple model years before a major redesign is the best time to buy any vehicle as people tend to hold out for the new one, and generally all the kinks are worked out. Dealerships in my area are currently blowing new Titans out for $10,000 - $15,000 below MSRP
