Nissan knows how to build a proper truck and what I really like about Nissan is they are not playing the towing numbers game which is just complete crap from the big 3 and are actually honest with their numbers so the consumers tow safely.
Right, people think their crew cab long ranch or platinum tows 13,000lbs when in fact they tow roughly the same as all the others. In order to get those max numbers you have to get a stripped down base model xl 2wd single cab with no options but the max tow package.

@Jackmerius_Tacktheretrix this. My 2016 Titan cummins I bought in 2020 for 13k. I got hit by a drunk driver amd my truck is in the shop. I'm using a 2022 ram 1500 that has NO features other than a nice infotainment screen. No trailer brake, no anything for 70k. Absolutely wild
We own the 2018 XD. great truck. We haul a 2021 cougar 5th wheel. Pulls great with plenty of power. Rides great with 100,000 mile warranty. No regrets here. Love this truck
Want to hear it from the horses mouth? I am a current 2016 Nissan Platinum Reserve Titan XD Cummins Diesel 4X4 crew cab owner and I can tell you from personal experience of driving and towing with this truck this is one hell of a truck! Yes, it had its issues up front but it was a clean sheet designed truck and what brand new vehicle does not have its problems from the big three manufactures? If you don't believe me just go to any of the bulletin boards for the big three and read about the problems and grief people have with their new clean sheet vehicles. Today I am a happy as a clam with my Titan XD since everything was diagnosed and fixed under warranty since its been one hell of a reliable truck since. Not once in the dealership since then and I still have another year on my factory warranty so that's five years standard factory warranty for no additional cost to me. Also, talking about towing, you try taking one of the big three half ton pickup trucks out on a long haul with a 9500 lbs to 10,000 lbs. plus load behind it and you see if you don't have your ass puckering every mile since you're going to be white knuckling it all the way to your destination. They all are too light and do not have the suspension setups for any heavy towing. Not my Titan XD! It handles my trailer exceptionally well in fact I don"t honestly even notice the trailer is back there until I look in my mirrors; which like he said for half ton mirrors they are great factory towing mirrors. It is just setup right from the factory to tow great! Anyways, I got a great deal and I believe I got more truck when I bought my Titan XD then I would've for the same money from the big three manufactures and yes I am an educated consumer and I did my home work and shopped around. Thank you for the honest review.
I'm with you, I have a 2016 Titan XD in SL trim and I love it. I've got the Cummins as well and plan to keep it for as long as I can.
Finally someone who gets it. It's a half ton truck with beaffier frame, brakes, hubs, axels, etc. And it doesn't ride like a 3/4 ton number wagon with concrete wheels. A really comfy ride, no rev limit and pulls like an ox. Does the f150 have built in goose neck? Does the Chevy have an electronic locking rear end? Bolt a bowtie, sheeeeep or blue oval to this thing and it would sell like mad!
I agree!
Spot on. I own a 19 Pro4x XD and absolutely love it. Second Titan now in 5yrs. Had a 15 Pro 4X. And upgraded after over 280,000 kms with ZERO ISSUES. Purchased the XD version for the towing safety. Bigger Brakes . Bigger Frame. I didn't need a 3/4ton but this is just Perfect. And I know I won't be consistently bringing it back to the dealership for repairs like the Big 3
@@robsuemctaggart1697 how do you like the pro-4x? I would like to eventually get a Titan pro-4x. Currently driving a frontier pro-4x
@@trhenryvlogs9638 go for it. I'm more then sure you will be very happy. I know we are .

My wife and I are newbies. We expected to be in our 2nd year of full time living in a class A by now, but life sometimes takes an unexpected turn medically speaking. So now we are looking at travel trailers pulled by a half ton pickup. We really like your calm delivery of genuine info from your experience, and we thank you! We subbed to your channel today. We think we have found the trailer for us, a Jayco 237RBS, and now we are looking for a truck to pull it. We are both retired and our children and my side of the family live hundreds of miles away. Thank you for helping us do our “due diligence.”
Very underrated trucks, nice trucks, best warranty and way under sticker price. Not much resale value but if you are planning on keeping for many year like me it can’t be beat.
I have three nice Titans and I love them! I rather it stay underrated because the reason I first seeked out the Titan was because not many people were buying them. I have nothing against the other brands but I didn't want to seem to conform to what everyone else was. And I'm glad I did!
Nice, I didn't know the Titan XD had the adjustable headlights. The only other truck that comes with that is the Toyota Tundra. I agree, that should be a standard feature on trucks.
Good point. My Jeep Grand Cherokee had them. Heck even my wife’s MINI Cooper has them. You would think a truck definitely would have them.
Titan is standard with them to adjust headlights when towing
Just came from a 2004 Titan XE with manual locks and windows to a Titan XD SV......man am I in heaven. Love the ride. Got 19.5 mpg coming through men’s from Asheville to Charlotte NC . Original Titan was bulletproof and expect this to be the same. I like seeing so few.
My 2 cents here. Im 66, bought a used titan several years ago. BEST vehicle i have ever owned. Now have 233k on it. Only 1 issue, repaired by independent shop (starter). I plan on going to 500 k. If something happens to change my plan, im buying an XD when i find one. Fyi, mine is a 2wd. We bought a camper a few years back. The salesman was shocked when we hooked it up the 1st time as the truck bed didn't sag. He told me it was the 1st half ton he had seen that did that. This is a great truck !!!
I love my new 2020 Nissan titan pro 4X! Out of all the trucks a test drove it was my favorite by far so I bought it! Nissan is nailing it with these new updates.
The Titan is the most underrated truck on the market. Car and Driver, Motortred all blast it for towing and payload but when you compare it to a similar equipped Ford or Chevy it’s spot on. Guess Nissan just didn’t grease their palms enough.
I love the new Titans. I traded in my Nissan Frontier for an F150. I wanted a Titan so bad but couldn’t stand some parts of the 2016-2019 Titan. Of course soon as I bought my F150 they released the 2020 Titan and fixed literally everything I didn’t like. Wish I could get one these Titans.
Better than Ford for not having plastic oil and transmission pans; better than GM for no cylinder deactivation.
@Jules too many loyal domestic buyers. It wouldn't matter how good it could be some will never leave the big 3.
It's a nice truck. My neighbour bought one recently & he loves it.
I own 2 Nisan 2019 Nissan Titans XD and one 2020 Ram Dually. Love Towing 12k with the Nissan, Love the options I got. Yes, it aint a Ram 3500 but towing 12K the back only drops 1.5 inches.
I own a 2018 Nissan Titan XD diesel and I love it I do not regret getting it
how many miles so far? so many good deals out there on these. I really want one but so worried about that cummins, which normally wouldn't be the case!
Jack Colombo so far 73500 miles and I get 20mpg all stock
@@yosehpcruz689 sorry I should of been more specific. I'm worried about the reliability. any issues?
Jack Colombo honestly none at all so far but you never know you know
Just bought a 2024 titan pro4x love the way it drives
I own a 2019 RAM 2500 6.4L and I love it, however my sister has an 2005 Nissan Titan and it runs still strong. Her AC gets so cold you have to lower the air conditioner. On my RAM never gets too cold. I can run full blast the entire time and doesn't come close to the Titan. Come RAM step up your game in payload and AC... I enjoy watching your youtube videos Big Truck RV.. Keep them coming.
Get a 3500 and ditch your 5 link and coils and that will out perform anything Nissan builds also get your truck checked for blend door stall or binding usually the ac culprit
I think they are ugly but some people might like it
El Maestro that’s weird because my 2019 RAM blows ice cold and I live in Phoenix,Az. I also need to adjust the air because it gets too cold at times on auto.
My 2019 2500 doesn't blow cold air either. It's a 6.4.
I've had a 14, 16 XD, now a 21 ...Nissan makes a truck no BS. If you like a real old school tough truck that drives and feels like a truck and a real American made truck. This is the one for you. In love it
Bought a new 2018 Titan SV 4x4 crew with tow package and all the options. 48k sticker down to 32k ! Amazing truck! Haul 7500# loaded trailer with ease. Dont even know its back there with proper trailer brake setup. 5.6 V8 is a beast! Use tow mode and manually shift in the hills and mountains to be in proper gear and keep rpms higher. No problems at all ....Love the Titan!
this year? or back in 2018 ?
Its all about RPM in the hills this truck walks up the hills pulling pulling 12 to 15000
Great review! Thank you. Wanting to pick up one of these before they are gone for 2024.
Just picked one up for 4K under msrp with PPF. All other trucks that I looked at (Ford, ram, Chevy) had a 5K - 10K markup. I’ll be using it to tow a 7000 lb travel trailer and I love all the features.
What part of the country did you purchase it? I’m in Florida and didn’t know if that might be the case here locally to get one under MSRP.
@@analogdad9235 I’m in NJ. Found a deal too good to be true. People are sleeping on these trucks but I love it.
What is ppf?
Titan or Titan xd?
@@fishingismydrug1 paint protection film. XD
@@francismaggio4987 Thank you!
The truck is Mississippi made and the engine is Tennessee made, so all you haters that keep talking about it being a foreign truck need to do your homework before you speak.
Glad you touched on the adjustable headlight feature that's not available on the big 3, most reviewers ignore it!!
Right! I love that feature! Toyota has had it since 07, ford really needs it comsidering how badly they squat. My xd squats less than my f250 did with the same load. No other reviewers ever point out that feature, and its a very good safety feature. You can actually put the light back on the road where it belongs instead of blinding oncoming traffic. My 19 f250 high beams were utterly useless until I got under the hood and adjusted them down alot.
I'll stick with the Pro-4X
Badass truck!
Bro. Titan XD is a class 2b truck. Same classification as domestic 250/2500s.
We bought an nv3500 passenger van. It's a one ton and tows like a dream
I test drove the diesel back in 2016 in December. Awesome "heavy" truck with the 1 ton transmission and rear end.
1 ton transmission? Do you really know what you are talking about?
@@scottwilkins do you really know what you're talking about ?
@@scottwilkins Because its the same Aisin that the Ram 3500 with the high output Cummins uses. Only difference is the torque converter and input shaft.
Nissan claimed the Titan XD with the Cummins (yes spell it with a S!) was a 5/8s ton truck. They didn’t claim to be trying to make a 3/4 ton truck.
The 2021 Titan XD is actually a lite 3/4 ton truck with a gross weight of 8650# and towing of 11,000#. the average 1/2 ton gross weight is around 7300# and towing is 8500#.
Loved the Titan........then i drove a 2500 Diesel..........ill never drive another gasoline engine again. But the Titan is a great truck. Its fast!
Absolutely love this truck! I think where Nissan missed out on this model is the towing capacity and payload. They need to up it for sure because one it is capable and two it will do the job safer than the so-called claims of those half tons. The sales would go up just from that
Own a Nissan truck currently, have no desire to own another Nissan till I can afford a restored 300zx. Plus with the XD you pay 3/4 prices for 1/2 capabilities.
What truck do you have?
@@AB-coyote 2007 Frontier, from the years where the radiator would fail and destroy the transmission due to a bad design.
Test drove an XD when they came out and it was alright, but then I test drove Ford and GM 3/4 tons, and they rode better, felt peppier, etc. I had high hopes for the XD despite my issues with Nissan if for no other reason to give Ford/GM/Dodge a new competitor but...
Heard rumor Nissan is discontinuing the Titan. They’re discontinuing it in Canada
Yeah I love both my titans. I don't care what people think. It does more than I need it to do and does it well.
Good review👍 All it took was a test drive for me to buy my 2017 Titan SL
You musta got one of the good ones. My 17s gettin shortblock replaced right now. Tsb out on engine knocking. Only 28000 miles. Before that was n shop for couple days getting leaking timing chain cover resealed. I cant say its been a blessing. Hahahhaha
@@troywatson3975 yeah man it was a good truck only thing replaced was the oil pan seal and timing chain seal at 35k miles it has since been traded in for a 2020 Pro4x which had the rear diff replaced at 4k miles 😂
The Titan is a great truck for a good value. The XD is basically a heavy duty 1/2 ton. People still try to compare it to 3/4 ton trucks.
Because of the classification of it. Its over the gvwr threshold for half to 3/4 ton. Frame and rear end is from the 1 ton van
I wouldn't compare it to a 3/4 ton. The 2019 3.5liter eco boost has a maximum tow rating of 13,200lbs and a maximum payload rating of 3230.
@@WillC299 yeah but in order to have that towing and payload rating in an f150 you have to get a single cab long bed stripped down base model xl with no options with the max tow/max haul package. So that loaded f150 king ranch or platinum tows and hauls about the same as the rest of the jalf tons. And no way I'd tow that much with a half ton whether its rated for that or not. It doesnt have enough weight. Ive towed my trailer with an F150 and a Tundra and there's no comparison to my titan xd when it comes to stability, especially on a 2 lan road when an 18 wheeler passes from the other direction or when dealing with crosswinds in the mountains. My xd also squats less than my 19 f250 work truck did with the same 1500lb load. The f250 squatted big time, the xd just levelled out. I have no doubt the xd could safely tow quite a bit more than its rated for.
My bumper to bumper warranty covered my leaking fuel pump at 40,000 miles and faulty interior dome light. Good thing but not I guess lol
Warranties sound good until you have to use them.
I had a bunch of issues with my 2017 Pro4X and the dealership always took care of everything. I think it depends on the dealership/service dept.
Nissan has always gone above and beyond to honor my Titan warranty. Even covering things that are not covered by warranty.
2 issues in my 2018. Both fixed not only free .. but very fast. Loaner while I waited. He'll. One little part. I was like . I hope they'll fix this with no problem. They were like Fix? No way. We're not just going to band aid something. We'll put a whole brand new unit from the factory in. Thanks Nissan. My ONLY.. ONLY.. downside is. They didn't offer sunroof in 2018.
And... It's more Made in America than most trucks. Look it up!! Well I did. Wasn't most but I was shocked a bit. In order if American Made ness.. combined a few different lists.. 1. Toyota n Ford pretty equal.. flip flipped first and second in different lists.. 2. Dodge.. 3. Nissan.. 4. Other Dodge models. 5. Chevy then 6. GMC Last.. Wow. Who would think GMs last??
Chuck DuChamp he took your ear and put it to a stove and BURNT it off
My experience with Nissan is that corporate didn’t honor the warranty despite 2 of their dealers saying it was a warranty issue. I’ll never own one again!
Nissan might not even be around in 2 years anyway.
Exactly how they operate.
More details?
They’re going bankrupt. Losing money hand over fist.
They covered my trucks leaking fuel pump and the interior dome light that went faulty, no questions asked...
Run from this truck. Nissan used to put out a great product. Now, they are in trouble.
I shopped all the brands, but had intended to Ford. After extensive research, I went with the tried and true and trusted the Tundra the most. It feels like a solid ingot of steel. Quality is crazy good. I've owned every brand, but over my many years of cars and trucks ownership, Toyota has always been the best performer for reliability and resale.
I also love how American my truck is and that it was built just about 90 miles from me here in Texas.
Thanks to the FORD guy for giving an honest review- THATS WHY WE LOVE YA MAN 🍻
Very elaborate video....going to pick mine up right now and give them this Chevy
My payload capacity on my 2016 f150 4x4 is 2003 lbs. My towing capacity is lower at 9000 lbs. Which I'm totally happy with. The titan's lower payload capacity will come into play long before it hits it tow capacity.
I never understood why they have such a low payload. My 16xd with the same 1500lb load only leveled the truck, in my 14 F250 that same load had it squatting big time!
The toyota tundra has the headlight beam adjustment too. I do like that truck but i love my 2020 tundra platinum. By the way... you have to use 93 octane fuel to get the horsepower rating for that titan.
What’s your payload?
Great point on the octane.
The only truck that I would consider buying rather than problematic competition
Good luck with warranty work. I have two of their cars got rid of one the other ones on the chopping block.
DevilDog 53 Well it sounds like you got lucky sir. This one car was nine years old two sets of tires two batteries battery wires O2 sensors alternator air conditioning pump and even with Nissans extended warranty on the transmission I went through to dealers to find one that would change the transmission because that was going bad. Car had 85,000 miles on it. Traded it in
Nice truck, it sucks that they don’t offer the diesel any longer.
I feel people don’t like to change the brand of their truck because of the salespeople. I just bought a Chevy Silverado and I was reluctant to test drive the RAM because I was afraid that the salesperson will call me 1 million times after I leave the dealership.
Yeah I had 2017 RAM 1500 5.7 same AC worked but not like other brands
I have a 2020 RAM. A/C works awesome.
Great review, very informative. I'd love to get your opinion on the differences between the Titan XD Platinum and the XD Pro 4X...payload, towing and actual handling/driving characteristics. Maybe a follow up video reviewing the XD Pro 4X...? Thanks again for the info and keep up the great work!!!
I have came to like these trucks they are growing on me have heard good things about the diesel and have talk to a few that had this gas version and love it I have a fifthwheel close to 16k in weight if the tow rating was little higher on this truck I'd be buying one still might just because with the chrome and the colors they have it just stands out and apart from the rest
Everyone talks about this is just a beefier 1/2 ton truck. Y’all know this truck weighs more than a 2010 F250 crew cab 4x4 lariat with a v10 right?
Excuse my bad English folks. I purchase a brand new Titan sv 2017. At 17000 kilometres, the engine begin knocking. At 24000 kilometres, in June 2019, Nissan replace my motor (short block). Now this month at 35000 kilometres my motor knocking again. It is always the cylinder number 7 who is problematic. Real epidemic trouble. In my small town we are 3/3 with this trouble. On Facebook pages, I’ve seen A LOT of cases, I see guys who are on third motor on 2018 model. Also see people with this problem on 2019 model (Titan, armada.) Nissan seems to don’t have a clue about this problem. The 7 speed transmission on 16-19’ model doesn’t works well too, and seems to be change very often . Long story short, run for your life, you can see a video of my titan knocking on my profile. I swear to god, I don’t beat the truck at all really light works sometimes.
A lot of good information, thanks!
The 2016-2020 IS the current gen. Ride, interior (a few changes to screen) and all underpinnings are the same as 2016 minus the Cummins availability
New 9 speed different rearend gearing and minor frame change to account for the new tranny
Around 1:25 to 2:40, dude is confusing generations with revisions of the truck. The Titan XD is in its current and lone generation. Currently it’s in its first revision(facelift, updated endurance engine,etc) of the same generation sans the Cummins engine option.
On the other hand, the regular Titan(half ton) is in its 2nd generation with facelifts n new transmission)
Those new Nissans are sharp. I’ll stick to my tundra but those are a good second.
A great review i looking to get one in the spring
just got to Titan XD love it
The Titan XD has a lot to like about it. I do wish Nissan made a DPI engine. I am not fond of GDI engines, regardless of brand.
Nissan needs to up the gvwr at least to 9000 so the payload capacity can increase and work on pushing that towing higher as well.
What is this reddish bronze color called? When I look at the website vehicle configurator, there are now only a few colors available in the 2023 model.
If the would put atleast a 30 gallon tank I would defiantly buy and it could be possible to do
Wow funny I have been one of those people but my buddy keeps telling me to buy one as he owns one older but nissan thanks for the review I maybe one of those converts as I am looking for a truck to tow a fifth wheel ..
it better be a ultra light fifth wheel.
Rubi Doo you can tow high 11000s with the gas xd with a 5er rating on my xd gas is 11988. Drop and go oem 5thwheel hitch from curt works like a dream
The only Titan I would own would be a single cab long bed with the 5.0 Cummins. Otherwise PSD
Wish they didn’t end this in Canada
Here in the upper midwest the Nissan's are the only truck I have over seen rust out faster then a d̶o̶d̶g̶e̶ fiat. That took some serious planning by nissan as d̶o̶d̶g̶e̶ fiats have always won the race to shed off those extra pounds around the wheel wells and cab corners.
I bought a Nissan Titan xd cummins in 2018...a 2017 model,new.Great truck,gets about 15. But is like manuevering a tank as its long.Parking is too much. And,you must remember if you dont know: Get ready for big time devaluation. Mine i bought for 38500. Got the balance down to 33500. But if i wanted to trade out for a chevy its value is only about $26,000.Towing,oh yeah.Seeing over the dash..im 5-7"!! Yuk.The wife..5'3"! Not good.You cant see over the hood cant see the road immediatley in front of you.Yes,it needs a better hood and a up down seat.
Great video, very good honest review.
Does anybody know if you can haul a 5 wheel using a conventual hitch without hitting the inbuilt storage boxes when turning sharply?
If you have the short bed you'd need to have a slider hitch so you can avoid the cab. As far as the storage boxes go they are out of the way for what you describe.
I came just to read all the negative comments I knew would be here. Lol.
Hahah! Same here!
Same i own a xd you get used to the hate lol
I'd drive one if it came as a dually 1 ton with a cummins under the hood if I could get it cheap in a few years.
Would this truck be able to handle a travel trailer that is 34ft thats under 10000lb
Easy really, I haul a 32 foot 2021 grey wolf with my 2012 GMC Sierra 1500 and it does great this would be way better
Nissan's box truck division is ND. Does ND have a diesel engine that can be used in the Titan?
Yeah RAM needs to step up their game in the AC, payload, and braking..
RAM has a top payload of 2300 lbs. WTF are you talking about?
I want one so bad with the cummins
The upcoming 2021 F150 .. looks very similar to the Nissan Titan
Yeah but it was Nissan who copied the F150 back in 2015, the new F150 is basically the current gen with Expedition headlights, as a matter of a fact when Nissan came with that Titan people called it a Fissan
EmilFerr77 how did Nissan copy Ford ? Every trucks looks the same .. ford is the least reliable truck on the market..
@@VortexVibe634 yes I agree , you're actually right . I had completely forgot about the Fissan ..
@@josediaz4914 The reliability of a truck varies depending on the engine and equipment. The least reliable engines in the half-ton segment or the GM 5.3L and 2.7L, the RAM 3.0L, the Ford 3.0L and 2.7L. The most reliable engines in the half-ton segment are the Ford 3.3L and the GM 4.3L (the Ford engine is newer, more fuel efficient, and was developed by Mazda, the king of reliability). Every other engine in the segment is neither terribly unreliable nor above average in reliability, they're middle of the road. So the reality is, a 4x2 regular cab F-150 with the 3.3L engine and manual windows, mirrors, and locks is arguably the most reliable truck you can buy today since its the simplest. On the other hand, a F-150 with the 3.0L diesel with a giant touchscreen and every option box checked is going to be a total turd in terms of long-term reliability because it is so complex and because Ford's 3.0L diesel is notoriously unreliable, especially if you let it idle a lot.
There'a a balance between simplicity and reliability, and complexity and bells and whistles, and its the buyers job to decide where that balance best fits their needs.
what ford needs to copy is the dependability of the Titan
Read the thumbnail as "this truck fucks" and I had many questions.
My wife works for Nissan, she told me the tech's hate these truck because of all the problems they have.
I have had my eye on this truck. Love all the features. However, the new nine speed transmission scares me a little. Ask your wife what particular problems they are having.
Thanks
Truthfully I can find a bunch of dealer mechanics who say their particular brand has serious problems with specific components and engines that they are working for.
I'm in the collision industry and live in pa. Trust me, please get any Nissan rust proofed if you live in the rust belt. The underneath of this thing will be a nightmare of rust
The warranty for the Nissan is more then reason to put the Titan XD at the top of the list of you're looking for a little heavier duty 1/2 ton. It is a nice looking truck. Thanks JD super review.
This truck will tow circles around any of the big 3 1/2 tons
I made the giant mistake of ordering one in 2016.
16 Titan XD Platinum Reserve
Cummins 5.0 V8
4x4
All options except sunroof. I even opted for the bed boxes.
I now have 45k miles on it after 4 years of ownership. I cant wait to get out of it! But I will probably have to pay it off 1st because the resale is so ridiculously low...
why do you hate it
Does the xd ride like a 1/2 ton or is it kind of stiff like a 3/4 ton?
IN BETWEEN IN MY OPINION
Like you said more American than American made trucks
You just simply like larger trucks. This is half step closer to HD.
They just stopped Canadian sales. It's not selling.
I thought Titan XD's payload is around 2100 lbs? In your video you say 1700 lbs, that's not much at all. Trail Boss which is an off road has 1700 lbs, Ridgeline has 1600lbs. Am I missing something?
Depends on the trim. Platinum Reserve is the most luxurious trim, which takes away some of the capacity of lower trim packages. BTBRV mentioned that in some other videos. Either that or he accidentally misspoke, which happens sometimes.
My XD is 2450lbs
Isn't the Nissan Titan XD considered a 3/4 ton truck?
Its Tundra... then the rest. TRD all day baby
@@davem7722 more exercise?
John Bell 😂
@@bellje6810 they don't sell as many cuz it says "toyota' on it. Fact is the Tundra is more American than Ford, GM and Dodge combined. Fake American Globalism sellouts.. Most of them are made in Mexico now
Toyota’s are so out dated , transmission and engine wise ... the warranty is one of the worst in the industry... they will never stand behind their own equipment....
This Titan will make a fool out of a toy tundra
Did I miss the towing capacity?
A bit over 12k if I recall correctly.
11,000 lbs. bumper pull towing and 1,700 lbs. of payload
I’ll stick with my 06 se model of Nissan Titan
I could never get past the weight between this and a F250...6700lbs, with half the capabilities of the F250.
The XD rides like a F250 as well.
I wish the regular Titan had a 6' bed
Tow hooks appear to be an afterthought
Easy to get to though, which is nice if you ever need them
They are below the body because of the larger frame as compared to the regular Titan.
Do they make these trucks in long bed?
I have a 17 Nissan Titan xd diesel love the truck but the warranty is crap!!!
Can you expand?
Might be nice truck but it's sales numbers are weak, in fact Nissan is halting its sales in Canada very soon!
MADE IN THE USA!🇺🇸
Nice truck!! Enjoy my tundra more though!
