- The Titan is Nissans full size truck and the Platinum Reserve takes things to the next level. On the outside you will discover unique wheels, two-tone paint, special chrome trim, and running boards. On the inside you will be greeted to a full leather interior, 9in infotainment system and tons of storage. Under the hood is a V8 mated to a 9-speed automatic transmission. Is the 2023 Nissan Titan Platinum Reserve a better truck than a GMC Sierra?

Hey Joe, since we are so close to Christmas, I wanted to do one last Raiti's Rides jingle. This one's called, Joe Raiti is Racing to Town.
You better not zonk,
You better turn quick,
You better not crash I'm telling you why,
Joe Raiti is Racing to Town!
With some golden twinkies,
His jokes are funny,
He'll be on throttle in all the twisties,
Joe Raiti is Racing to Town!
He knows when your on throttle,
He knows your on the brakes,
He knows if you've been near his stash,
So stay aways from his sweet snacks!
Joe raiti is Racing, Joe Raiti is Racing, Raiti's rides is coming to town!!
You freaking crack me up Chris! Great creativity!
@@RaitisRides 👍👍👍
I also wanna be this high
@@kalpersaud9132 👍
HE's very entertaining, but so are you!
By far, the most underrated full size truck out there! Driving my 3rd Titan now!!
What kind of trouble have you had with your trucks? Why aren't more people buying these?
@Brad I think it is name (when compared to Ford, Chevy, or Dodge) and lack of diversity with packages. Even in this state of elevated gas prices, nothing beats the V8 in this truck. It is called Endurance for a reason in my opinion. I grew up in a Ford house and test drove an F-150. I test drove a Titan after that and fell in love with it. Granted that no auto company is without issues, but I haven't had any problems with the three that I have had. I know some have had some tough moments with theirs, but I am more likely to trade my current Titan in for a newer model Titan.
@@chris_chappell Wow, three of them and no problems that is impressive. I hear all of the time about how bad those jatco transmissions are but I also read where their trucks don't have the same ones as the their cars do. Because they have a lot of trouble with the Rogue's, Altima, Maxima, etc.
@Brad ironically, I also had an Altima and my wife had a Pathfinder. Both of those had that CVT transmission. Totally different type of transmission from what's in the Titan. Like I said, I know there are some bad apples out there, but that hasn't been my experience at all. I've treated my truck like a truck as well, I don't baby it at all (other than cleaning it and regular maintenance).
@@chris_chappell Five year 100K mile warranty is the best in business. Don’t have buy additional gap warranty like with Ford Chevy and Ram. I’m on my second Titan and they added two more years so I have a seven year warranty now. Plus free oil changes.
The most underrated truck in the industry
You better believe it.
I agree. The Tundra is overrated tbh. I rather take the Titan
That makes zero sense
Bit strange how you avoided answering your question..
@@spectralknights2 yeah cuz the tundra has a v6 twin turbo now and the titan has a cummins v8
The Nissan Titan will always have a place in my heart!
It might be the last year.
I'm not buying the new tundra... but, I'd buy the titan.
@@seymorefact4333 Good choice because the new tundra has a V6 twin turbo but the titan has a Cummins V8
The Platinum Reserve has the best ride. They have additional dampers for a smoother ride. Takes the bumps, but is not sloppy. It's on my radar for sure.
I have a 2020 Platinum Reserve and I love it. It's also my 4th Titan because I like them so much. I've been saying since they came out in 2004 that they are the most underrated truck out there - you can't beat what you get for the price - and they're arguably one of the best looking full size trucks IMO.
For the price you cannot beat the Titan. I have a 19 and absolutely love it! Compare a 60k GMC and you won’t be anywhere near as nice or have as many options as the Titan. It’s a great value and definitely underrated.
60k for a Titan loaded with a V8 forget paying 80k for a platinum tundra with a V6
A new 4x4 Platinum Tundra is nowhere near $80k.
@@sawyermartin4434 make me out of a lie then
The Toyota is slightly more expensive but doesn't look quite as nice.
@@jamieheim8009 I owned plenty of Toyota from Camry to Cressida on up to sequoia. Now owning a 2013 Sentra maintenance is way cheaper
@@sawyermartin4434 yes it is too here in sc there going for 79-85 thousand
Rented the Pro4X on Turo earlier this year. this was a DAMN good truck! I ended up getting the Armada, but the titan is criminally slept on
You are so very right about that! I really appreciate you sharing that experience.
The Titan is still a nice full size truck ! And for the price it under cuts the rest of the competitors and you get the lovely sounding V8 💪🏽👍🏼🔥❤️
I love my Titan and great sounding exhaust coming from the V8. For 60k I can live without a heads-up display, and a larger infotainment system. Wireless charger should be standard.
I have a 20 PR and love it. What I don't love is you can't plug your phone in without it going to apple car play. I think the steering is a little to hard to turn when parking. I wish the back doors would open up further. I also think they went on the cheap with non LED turn signals. What I do love are the seats. The best in the industry. Simply love the ride and how quiet it is. The V8 speaks for itself. Fender system is awesome. Love the sunroof. The column shifter frees up a lot of valuable real estate in the center. Yo can't even feel the shifts. And lets not forget the 5 YEAR, 100K MILAGE BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY!!!!! Easily the most underrated truck on the market.
i bought a 23 last month and im in love with mines. It is so smooth to drive, the only mod i did was straight piped it. Definately doing more mods down the road.
What trim did you get and how much did you pay?
i got the platinum reserve and i bought mines for 63,000.00 in greenville, sc. They got rebates and incentives on them and for my straight pipes, i pay 220.00 plus tip so 230.00.....
Cool 😎
Awesome brother, I just bought my 2024 Nissan Titan with the 5.6L Endurance V8 in it not too long ago and let me tell you its a freakn beast and it sounds like a beast from the factory as well. My plans are to put truck cover on the back of the bed, add an aftermarket Sunroof, and eventually add a Borla S-Type dual exhaust system to make the best sounding V8 sound more vicious and plus make it look good with dual exhaust as well.
I think Nissan did a great job with this truck.Nothing like good ole v8 power.
Bought a new TITAN in 2004, after 17 years I only spent about $1000 in repairs, and about $1500 to get the hood and roof repainted because the clear coat faded. Other than that, SOLID ENGINE & TRANSMISSION.
Nissan Titan Pro4x owner here, absolutely love this truck.
I’ve had 2 Titans, both Pro4X, the later one being a 2019. Nicest trucks I’ve ever owned. Had to give it up to buy a house. If Nissan can stick with it a little longer, I think they will sell more as the competition continue to go in a direction a lot of us don’t want to go in. Don’t give up yet, Nissan.
You are so absolutely right they're going the wrong way all the other car truck dealers manufacturers I should say but Nissan's going the right way with this I hope they don't get rid of it they need just to advertise it more than really push it
100% agree!!
@@scottmendoza8989 for some reason they advertise their cars and Fronteer, but hardly ever anything about the Titan. No wonder they're not selling. It's like they want to lose out on this market.😞
Unfortunately 2024 is the last year production for the Nissan Titan. I was thinking to buy one, but I’m not sure, due to last year production. My next option is the GMC Sierra 3.0 Duramax.
Nissan seats are great - had a long drive in my Rogue this past weekend, a trip I've made in other cars before, and it was the most comfortable I had been in any of them.
Very good feedback from your experience Robert!
Such a great truck and it deserves so much more press than it gets. The new offerings from The Big Three are going down a direction and this is a true truck. Kudos to Nissan for keeping it simple with one engine and refining the truck.
Agreed 100% I just traded my 2011 Ford F150 with a 5.0L Coyote V8 with 360 HP and 380 Ibs of Torque in it for a 2024 Nissan Titan with the 5.6L Endurance V8 in it with 400 HP and 413 Ibs of Torque and let me tell you its a freakn beast and best of all no cylinder deactivation nor the Auto stop start crap on the Titan vs the F150 with the 5.0L Coyote V8 in it.
@@CJColvin that's what I'm talking about! 👍. Long-term!
@@johng.4959 Agreed 100% and I don't care what these EcoBoost owners say as well.
@@CJColvin nope don't do it with the Ford! Have family in the car industry and they see it plus my buddies F150 3.5 turbo just took a dump at 58 k miles!! In the shop now for 2 weeks! 😭
I've had 2 titans in the past, loved them both. If I didnt go to the 3/4 ton diesel side, I would be looking hard at a new 23 titan.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this one Lucas from your ownership.
I have the 2017 version of the pickup and it's great. Nissan engineers did a great job on the truck but their marketers did a terrible job of getting the word out and selling it.
Don’t kill this truck Nissan! Just add a 15 inch infotainment screen & sales with triple
You think that is all it will take.
I agree.. maybe change the front of the truck up a bit..
By far the most underrated full size pickup on the market. Shame so many sleep on this truck. It’s the only one with a standard V8 all trims, no turbochargers, V6’s, hybrids or electrics. Ironically it’s the most traditional “American” pickup.
My 2004 Titan crew cab 4x4 is rock solid. Only 160k miles. The endurance 5.6L is perhaps the best V8 engine ever built.
Easily my favourite truck old school yet still really nice
I am so glad that you like this Titan!
Nissan did a TON of investing & homework on this truck. The advertising/awareness was the weak spot. It was more of a 'regional' rollout where the invested more in certain areas and hardly anything in others based on former market share. They need to go all out with a new launch, new branding, new refreshed product. It's a stunning value!
They sure did! It is crazy that they are going to be killing it off.
Joe this truck is set up right. I like the fact that you can get this top trim level truck with nice materials but doesn’t have all the overwhelming bullshit electronics and a ridiculous price tag. Also the v8 that doesn’t use that mother flippin cylinder deactivation!! I say nissan’s doing some good things here, its just right. Thanks joe
Agreed 100% Thats why I chose the 2024 Nissan Titan with the 5.6L Endurance V8 in it (with 400 HP and 413 Ibs of Torque) over the 2024 Ford F150 with the 5.0L Coyote V8 in it (with 400 HP and 410 Ibs of Torque) cause I don't want to deal with the cylinder deactivation nor the Auto Stop start crap either.
I have never regretted buying my 21 Pro-4X. I tow 6k lbs+ all the time, offroad all the time, and put 30k trouble free miles on it. Its just a nice solid truck for people who actually need a light duty truck. Not a fancy grocery getter for people who should actually drive a sedan.
I bought a truck when I really only needed a sedan. I did it mainly to make people like you cry more
My very first pickup truck! Terrific job Joe.
I can see you towing for this one.
@@RaitisRidesThanks Joe for a reply!
That is one massive pickup truck
Large and in Charge!
Yeah everyone that gets in my Titan is impressed with the size.
Thanks for the Titan review. Looks like a really nice pickup. Don’t see them much in my neck of the woods. Thanks for bringing it to us.
For the price that is a steal in my opinion!
it's legal theft lol. it's such a damn good truck
It is a ton of truck for sure!
@@JokerG16 You may be right!
Titan really paved the way for a lot of trucks even gmc took some ideas from them
Don't stop making the titan!!! I'm have a 21 year model,I love my truck!!! If I could,I would buy another one!!!
You might have a collectible on your hands.
I gotta say you really sold me on this truck, Should they go away? NO, its a great truck and is more traditional that the other, I love it!
I love Titan, as well as Armada. That v8 sounds great.
Agreed 100%
I love my 2021 Titan Pro 4x. These are absolutely the best bang for the buck and awesome tow vehicles.
Shame people stick with the big 3 garbage.
Thanks Mike for sharing that great ownership input!
I have owned four Titans. Great trucks. I have also owned Silverados(4.8 & 5.3) I like them also but they wouldn’t outlast a Titan when it comes to durability or longevity.
Thanks for sharing that great ownership input Shawn!
I’m loving the all new reinvented Nissan titan
Sad news is they are killing it off for 2024.
@@RaitisRides the Nissan titan they’ve been around for a long time
The Pro-4X is a beautiful truck! Review the 2023 one Joe!!! Great content by the way brother!
As many have said, perhaps the most underrated and under appreciated truck on the market. Compared to trucks like the Denali it is missing a few features including a transfer case with an all wheel drive setting. The good news is Nissan should be able to keep a V-8 but our truck in the lineup for a long time with all their small cars and EV’s propping up their CAFE. The big three are going to have a much more difficult time.
We bought a used 2020 Nissan Titan Pro-4X with 42k miles & the 7' bed a few months ago. We love it.
It has:
-no start stop
-no cylinder de-activation
-hydraulic steering instead of the new trend of digital steering like some kind of video game
-gear shifter on the steering wheel not some digital knob that has issues like in our 2019 Ram Warlock 1500 we used to have
-in bed rail system for cargo strapping wherever needed (dealer didn't have the attachments though so we have to use the corner metal loops for strapping cargo)
-premium interior
-SUPER COMFORTABLE seats
-400hp naturally aspirated engine, no turbos, no super chargers, just raw power
The cons:
-infotainment system demands you install android auto or the apple equivalent if you plug your phone into either dash mounted USB just to charge your phone (it will keep popping up over and over and over and over)
-infotainment system ignores screen presses half the time, is a bit sluggish to respond, sometimes just resets for no reason, & seems like someone put armor all on the screen
-Payload is kind of low at 1200 lbs
-if you are turning while accelerating from a stop it will spin the tires if you aren't careful (happened on our test drive turning left onto the freeway)
-our rear window defroster connection is snapped off and is just dangling
-the truck is very high off the ground and hard to get in and does not have any side step rails
We would buy it again in a heart beat. It really is the most underrated, under appreciated truck out there. No idea why people prefer more widgets and doo dads that make trucks more unreliable.
Epic Video Dude!
Thanks Razi for being so supportive!
column shifter appreciation society approves, less brodozer gimmick shifters are needed
Absolutely. But I will go one step further and say I vastly prefer the six passenger seating set up too in a truck. Much more roomy feeling
@@pryme2013 Bench seats rule! I love the armrest and legroom.
Raitis rides is my favorite POV car channel! 😂 the “I just lost the keys” had me crying with laughter lol
Thanks for letting me bring the laughs and the POVs to you!
Beautiful truck! And v8 reliability.
Price point caught my eye vs the Big American made trucks.
🇺🇸 I would trade in my 2017 tundra for titan! Titan better than new tundra. Not a fan of Nissan cars or suvs.... but, the Titan is AWESOME!
I just bought a 2023 Platinum Reserve. Non biased here, I can tell you that it got my attention due to the deal that I found on it. That is what lured me in to even give it a chance, however after driving it, I was sold. I have had pretty much all of the trucks out there, and the ones that I haven't, I have driven extensively. I say all of this to let you know that this truck is the real deal. Unless you need to tow over 9200 pounds (I think it will safely tow much more) then overlook this truck, if not, you owe it to yourself to give it a test drive just like I did and you will probably wake up in the morning seeing a Titan in your driveway. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain by trying one out for yourselves.
lol, love your reviews, you truly know how to keep viewers entertained and informed. Ty for sharing 🤙
Great video brother, I just a 2024 Nissan Titan with the 5.6L Endurance V8 not too long ago and man let me tell you its a freakn beast as well.
It’s better than the gmc imo
Thank you for sharing your honest opinion.
I think they look better for sure
The key fob commentary was iconic. Exact fob my moms 2007 Altima had. Minus the cvt that thing was bulletproof
I love the Nissan Titan Platinum Reserve I think that this kinda kills the Apostles to the full-size trucks.
I am glad that you took the ride with me!
@@RaitisRides Yeah I loved the way it I know it's not perfect but for the money, it's a dandy.
Absolutely loving that column shifter. I so hope they bring these back.
We bought 2022 Pathfinder platinum with heads-up display and wireless charger. It is our first vehicle with heads-up display and we were so excited. I could definitely live without wireless charger and heads-up display. 9 inch infortainment screen is plenty. I like thslat it is integrated into dash in Titan rather than sticking out.
❤ I love my Titan platinum reserve 2023 two tone color white and grey metallic it is the affordable luxury pickup truck with the big 3 you can’t afford luxury truck from 70,000 to 90,000 I just got Titan platinum under msrp with all rebate included 59,000 OTD price no market adjustments no BS on warranty packages , That's why I like the Nissan they can work with the costumer
the titan is severely underrated! Hopefully we get a redesign of the titan soon!
I heard it’s getting discontinued
I think the next step is Nissan is getting rid of it.
@@mattmekhaeil You are correct matt!
From what I can find is that it’s only discontinued in Canada.
yup they killed it off. i had a 07 Titan SL and it was great. interior was crap but the drivetrain and engine never missed a beat
Just bought a Platinum REserve - it's amazing. Glad I bought it instead of the BIg 3. Very nice to drive, BEAST of an engine, hell of a warranty, reliable, and useful. It's the last honest V8
I am so happy to hear!
@@RaitisRides You'll need to do a final 2024 Plat Reserve review, give it the send off it deserves!
I have a soft spot for the Titan... I usually get GMC but I like this truck. Good value.
I have a ‘21 Titan Sv, Love it!!
If I was in the market for a truck I'd choose the Nissan. It's a simpler design and you can get a great discount usually because no one wants to drive a Nissan 😂
Woahhhhhh that sounds awesome
It has the V8 power!
Looks like the father of the frontier
I think that is the look Nissan was going for!
The Nissan 5.6 endurance motor is a solid motor. GM has that cylinder dropping technology plague with issues.
This is true!
Wow, great price ! 👍
They do bring a lot for the price!
Hear me out !!! Imagine Nissan made a Nismo/Off-road version of this truck with the GTR engine or a supercharger 5.6
Also think about how ford and Ram have a animal name like the TRX & Raptor Nissan can have Godzilla 😂
Nissan Titan the last good traditional truck. No “overkill” on the screen but still good tech. Sad that it’s going to probably go away this year.
10:16 😂 that finger so intense. Love it!
“Watermelon, sour apple, cherry.”
Thanks for letting me share the laughs and this truck with you!
It would be great to have a better reverse camera but is not such a big deal considering you wouldn't get a truck this size for that price with some other brand.
So very true Omar!
Irony is, they have really good cameras on the new Pathfinder, probably cost-cutting measures which Nissan is very good at lol
@@Sheng614 They just did not want to bring them to the Titan.
@@RaitisRides Think Nissan knows the Titan/Armada are on their last legs, and doing every bit of cost cutting measure before taking them off the line completely
It gets up and moving pretty quickly!
Yeah Joe on that column shifter. I love it🙂
Heck yeah!
RIght now they are doing 0% financing on these to end the truck's run. I think it's a great truck, a little dated but when saving over $10K down from the others...it's compelling. Plus that warranty
"the same key Noah used to fire up the ark" killed me! That key fob is so old
Crazy about the Sierra but loving the Titan love it especially the Platinum Reserve trim have the Sierra on my radar but go with Titan.
I am glad that I could share it with you!

@@ramoncarter6585 I try to bring as many different vehicles that I can.
@@RaitisRides You do a really great job on reviewing.
What it would come down to for me is if the titan is a good enough truck for you given the price for the 2. If the denalis insane interior is worth the extra dough go for it, for me I’d save even more and pick up a second hand titan, modern enough for me anyways.
If you want a truck to last 300,000 miles, go with the Titan.
Oh wow that is a tall order!
Great review, Joe! I prefer the GMC.
I am right there with you!

The Nissan Titan is one luxury pickup truck. I can't wait for the next generation of the pickup truck. I mean the next model year of pickup truck
It will be interesting to see how it gies!
Bro you do great reviews. Your reviews have made me make decisions on multiple car and truck purchases!!!
I’ve owned each of the Big 3 bought a 2022 Titan SV so much value for the money can’t wait to upgrade to a Platinum Reserve can everyone just come to there senses and at least test drive a Titan I’m sure you will agree best value for the money
Hello, I wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year 2023
Nice truck 🤍🤍
I am glad that you think so.
Own a 2023 Pro 4 X love this truck solid just close the doors and you will feel quality. Great ride no rattles feel of the materials and warranty best in the business drive one you will buy one
My favorite Nissan pickup I wanna buy one.
"I love the nacho tray." 🤣 Who doesn't? 15 mpg city? Tough sell there. Discounts at this time probably wouldn't be enough for me. Great review as always.
Love me a column shifter!
FYI, look where the Titan is made…..that’s right, America! It’s American made!
The Denali is the clear the winner. Better styling and better finishes in the interior
That is the way I would spend my money!
Denali is pricier tho, but yea that interior is stupidly nice. Looks can go either way imo they’re both atleast the best and second best looking new trucks by a long shot
Plus Denali has auto start stop and cylinder deactivation!
@@nismomike3182is that a good thing?
@@CarsTechWood never!
I can live with-out the heads-up display and wireless charging. Turbos introduce more maintenance items than a N/A. For a person who likes things that would last eith minimal repairs, this is on my list of "potential next buy".
Why would they use incandescent turn signals ?
Love nissan Titan
I would say it’s better because the Engine is a straight V8. GM messed up when they did the AFM
Glasses with vaseline hahaha!!
Thanks for letting me share the truck and the laughs with you!
You know you just don't see a lot of Titans like you used to.... I see more Honda Ridgelines and tundras than I do Titans these days....

Am not a American hence when it comes to loving American pick up trucks for me it's not about being patriotic but what floats my bones hence I love fords,Toyotas & Nissan pick up trucks
I think the Titan is miles behind the competition with innovation, but there is a market for old school, solid trucks! I love my Pro 4X!
But the pricing is a good level.
Shocked they are make it still 60k hard to beat
