Thanks Kent, between you, Kelsey, and the rowdies at TFL, I like this truck. I feel that in their goal to be a heavy-half they looked more at the heavy. Maybe for my needs the eco Ram or 2.8 Duramax would be a better filler vehicle between our Jeep and Ram 2500HD. I loved watching Kelsey handle that goose trailer. She is a keeper! Wayne
Just bought a 2017 S.L. 4×4 Cummins. The review's I liked is the fact the motor is de tuned for longevity and mileage.
It's actually two discrete turbochargers as part of one assembly.
If you look at the holset demonstration the low pressure and high pressure turbochargers are identified. This is a series/sequential arrangement.
Kelsey is a sweetheart. The only reason for me to watch
Uncle Rich you’re a perv.
This looks like a ford to me, I do not drive the newest vehicles every year though. After watching a 2019 video then now watching this one, Kelsey looks so young, no disrespect or anything and I am not creeping in her as my daughters her age would kill me if I did. But just that 3 years makes such a difference in my daughters and I see it in Kelsey also. Very smart young lady, excellent driver. You 2 are very good together doing the vehicle review. Be Safe.
Under back seat is a rifle holder that's the passage from compartment to compartment . Thus the lock.
Nice to see they took out the bulky overhead consoles. Really opens it up.
Tyler Goarcke Needs a 3 row.
Mr Truck your quite the ladies man. Well done!
dodge ram 2500 cummins,800 torque 370-390 hp,towing capacity 18,000 pounds.The best truck in this class
Jose Jimenez more like the Ford superduty!
Ram and Ford are awesome straight axle trucks.
actually Ford has the best tow rating in the class for for payload and torque. the F250 can tow up to a max 18,500 pounds. the Ram is the second best at 18,000 pounds, and Silverado 2500HD is 3rd for 17,500 pounds.
Definitely raised the bar on the 1/2 ton trucks as far as towing goes.
seems well refined as well ,very quite for a diesel truck.
Priced right in a righthand drive version these would be great for Australia, the max tow limit on our utes (pickup trucks ) is 3.5 tons.
Lol that's funny. That's what mine is "rated for" but big American trucks can handle 3-5k more with upgrades with no big hills
What a beautiful truck. Great review and good job Nissan.
+C Steele Thanks
everyone complaining about the 60 grand msrp. You can buy these trucks all day for under 50k new loaded. or you can buy a 3 year old big 3 heavy duty with 40k miles for the same price. 60 grand is the msrp and the chevy's and dodge's are will over 70 grand new msrp. quit complaing its priced right in the middle of a half ton and 3/4
Great video as always Mr. Truck. Thanks
DEF fluid delete would be my first mod LOL
TheGuruStud and your biggest fan will be the EPA.
Ford still makes there light duty 3/4ton they just changed the name too f150 7700. then in 2004 changed to f150 8200, and i pretty sure they still make it in the newer trucks also
I finally watched all your informative videos on the Titan XD. Thank you. How does the construction of the gooseneck below the bed compare with aftermarket versions of gooseneck hitches ?? I see one vendor that has a gooseneck hitch that you can just leave in place and flip upside down when you need it. Our local Nissan dealer has a 4x4 Titan XD Platinum Reserve for only $ 64,185.
+David Locklear Thanks, from what I can tell, the Titan gooseneck is a Reece Signature series like Ford. Actually the same ball as Ford that will fit Ram factory hitches also. I'm a fan of B&W and Popup where you pull a lever in the fender well and flip the ball over. No bag of greasy ball under your seat.
+David Locklear What state are you in? I have seen a Platinum Reserve offered for $10,000 less then that here in Ga. I think you should be able to find them for less than MSRP, especially if the dealer has discounts on it like this one does. I think they discounted $4,000 dollars, so still under $60,000 for the top end model.
+Tiger King, price depends on shipping cost which is based on distance from factory it was assembled so the farther it travels the more it costs, but as you said also on dealers own discounts.
+Joshua Cornell "For only?" Oh my god, never pay that much. I spent $62,000 flat on my 2016 RAM 2500 Laramie Longhorn Megacab 6.7L factory custom. That was 12k under MSRP and a helluva lot more truck than this XD nonsense. Have fun shelling that cheese at Renault-Nissan.
+GTOAviator Never used those two words or mention a price in my comment, But that is cool with your truck price.
I want to start doing POV's do I have to have any special license or anything like that?
I have a 2016 Nissan XD Platinum Reserve 5.0 turbo diesel 4x4. I have my Class A and am looking at putting it on as a hotshot. We scaled it on a CAT scale and it scaled (full of fuel) right around 7800 pounds. I would like to get a gooseneck for stability and weight distribution. What is the maximum amount of cargo I can carry? I am looking at a 25+5 gooseneck. I am not sure what they weigh on average, but was hoping that you would know and be able to help me. Stupid that I can tell you axle weights and bridge weights on a semi but cannot for the life of me figure out how to make the formula work on a pickup and trailer. Any help would be appreciated. Last thing I need is to get a DOT violation for being overweight. (Bought that t-shirt in my semi.) Thanks a million!
What camera are you using for filming. Clarity is amazing.
Great review keep up the good work! I was wondering how the ride quality is compared to a Ram 2500 with the coils or air bags in the rear if you can recall? I always enjoy watching your videos. Nice to see a truck guy explaining things that really matter underneath the shiny exterior.
+Michael Rugarber Thanks, Titan XD feels like a heavy duty. It's a decent ride, not as soft as a light duty. I think the Ram 2500 with coils rides better
+MrTruckTV thanks!
+Paul Audet Thanks, The Laramie is decked out even compared to Ford King Ranch.
Will this truck be able to tow my 23' foot Pontoon Boat? If not, what type of truck would you recommend? Gas or Diesel equipped?
What does your boat weigh?
3800 lbs or so.
This truck would be fine
+Okie Rider lol this truck is rated for towing a little over 12,000 pounds with the diesel even the gas 5.6 Endurance engine will have no problem at 11,500 pounds of towing but the diesel will give you better fuel economy and torque
How many miles have you driven the truck ? What is the longest you have idled the engine ? Have you added D.E.F. yet ? The old Titan had a moonroof option. Will this have a moonroof option ? How does this 6 speed transmission compare to what the other trucks are offering ? My opinion is that a $ 60,000 truck should have a lock on the hatch to the fuel inlet. How would you add an exhaust brake ? As of January 16, 2016, I could not find any aftermarket accessories readily available for this truck. I presume there is someway to rewire the gooseneck connection to put it in the bed ?? if so, what would that cost ?
+David Locklear That's alot of questions. I drove at least 500 miles in 3 states. I don't have to add DEF, the fleet people do that. 6-speed shifted well in the power band but very little grade shifting going down hill, disappointed there. The turbo has an waste gate to relieve pressure. Cummins told me they could have made the waste gate into an exhaust brake as they did to the 5.0L diesel in motorhomes.
I really like your videos Kent but your editing skills are at the bottom. the b-roll cut ins are to sudden. otherwise it was a good vid.
who cares, were not here to please the 4k pc crowd.
Not to mention you can hear the guy breathing into the mic between sentences.
Hey there so I bought a 2018 with the 5.0. I'm looking to upgrade my trailer for my new tractor kubota l45 tlb weight is 7200 lbs is 19 foot with the boom down. Would you suggest a gooseneck or bumper pull? I'm looking 20 foot to 24 foot long and only a 10k registration in PA.
You could do it with a F150 if you have the rear axle ratio. Look up Ford RV and Trailer Guide
I want to start doing POV's. Do I have to have any type of special license or anything?
I don't think so, if you film in a city you need permits same with some county parks
MrTruckTV sweet! Or maybe I can just work with you and or TFL Trucks lol
MrTruckTV you do not need permission to film on public property.. your permission is in the Constitution
That chassis attached gooseneck is genius,Are you listening competition.
Nice review, Thank you.
+PRDMRE You're welcome
So you have tounge weight of 1,600 and a payload capacity. As soon as you either add gas or a driver, you are over right?
It doesn't take much
I have a Ford that has the same problem. Almost criminal if you ask me. Towing capacity is great but without the payload its worthless. Trucks should be required to have like 2,500 lbs to allow for basic cargo.
Will it survive the Ike gauntlet?
+Inverted Hover We did that, the video is up
I just got one and is not what I was inspecting it's only giving me like 12 mile to the gallon I though ben a diesel I was going to get better fuel economy better mileage and is super slow I miss my RAM LARAMIE
I agree I hated the GM DEF under the hood.
Great review!
+Geovanni Delgado Thanks
If I buy a Gooseneck for my truck could I make good money hauling?
It depends on how much you get per mile and how much you can haul. Most hot shots have 40 ft trailers and haul 20k to 30k.
what was your unloaded MPG? The 17 shown by TFL was rough
+Matt hard I think I was getting around 17-19 without a trailer
+MrTruckTV, the PRO 4x has no air dam so, I'm sure if it had one, it would get 2 mpg better without a trailer!
It's supposed to tow 12k but they never max it out like the 3/4 and 1ton offerings.
I get so many mixed answers/opinions to this question but maybe you can answer it... Does the 26,000 lbs you can tow legally with a normal license take the gvwr of the truck plus the gvwr of the trailer regardless of if you are actually loaded to that weight? Im under the impression that since my gvwr is 9800lbs and my dads trucks is 10000 lbs it would be illegal for us to move a empty trailer over 16,000 gvwr.
+Brandon 26K is combined weight rating of the truck and trailer which is under 26k for the Titan XD. You just need to look up the GCWR of your truck. Axle rating is part of the equation after you find your GCWR.
+Brandon 24k
So your combined weight rating has to be well over 26k. This is what I am trying to understand.
+Brandon That's a problem, you shouldn't tow trailers with GVW that would exceed your GCWR. And we don't exceed the trucks towing capacity, but I can't buy 20 trailers to have the right GVW for each truck we review. So we keep the total loaded trailer weight below the max. Just like I can't use my DOT number for the media trucks we test and I can't do an annual inspection on the trucks we test. My trailers do have the annual DOT inspection
Ok so I know you have your cdl, she probably does too, and honestly I couldn't care less if yall didn't and were technically doing it wrong.
So in my case where my truck and my dads trucks are 9800 and 10,000 the highest gvwr trailer we can legally hook to would be 16k and as long as we dont exceed any axle ratings we would be legal. That is the best I can understand it.
To me those rules seem kinda silly because my truck as well as his are 2500s and most people wouldnt want to make a habit out of towing 16k lbs with one, they would want to step up to a 3500 however that law would prevent them from hooking to a trailer larger than 13-14k gvrw......
My feelings are that in fact most people are breaking the law and just get away with it. Most people I talk to seem to think that the ACTUAL WEIGHT of the combined vehicles is what matters and that is what I used to think too but reading the way it is actually written and from talking to some people online it seems that if gvwrs combine to over 26k it is just as bad legal wise as being actually overweight.
No law should prevent me from moving an empty 24k trailer from my father in laws house to his brothers house but it seems like that is the case. Im looking at getting a non commercial class A so i can start worrying about nothing more than axle ratings but that too seems like a hassle.
...Sooo this is a 5/8ths ton truck?
It’s very very capable of being a 3/4 ton
Good review.
Thanks
is always cold where you guys live
Only for 9 months of the year, then it gets very hot.
Do the tow mirrors on the Platinum Reserve manual fold, too?
+Dalton Hill No
That makes sense, thank you!
+Dalton Hill, unlike with a Commercial truck, you bend certain types of mirrors back its not big issue but bend an older fashioned one with the steel arm called the Western style mirror and your going to break the whole assembly and your out of $$$ to buy a new mirror and fix the door or body panel it was attached to.
I had a Chevy 1500 HD years back so this tweener isn’t the 1st .
Too funny... Chelsea pulls a trailer double the length and weight of my trailer like she's driving to the salon... Apparently I need more practice..
+Mark S, she drives like she got trained to pull like I did with my Class A CDL. I can out drive you pulling a 53' Fully Loaded.
+Joshua Cornell I havent had any experience with a 53" Trailer but my
experience with Frac Sanders 51"-56" make driving
anything else seem effortless. Unlike a normal Trailer the rear axles
are pushed to the end so off-tracking can be a PITA
in the 12+ years I have had my Class A CDL and those frac or hydraulic sand trailers I have seen, are nothing more than pneumatic trailers previously hauled cement mix. That side of the hauling industry does not interest me much, as its too dedicated though as well as iit pays, just not my cup of sugar.
However, hydraulic mud tankers are something else to haul from what I have seen on the road and up close. Fixed axle and heavy weight when loaded, looks more harder to handle if not as hard compared to fuel/ oil or water semi tankers.
Hello experts... this type of trailers that attach to the back of a pick up as shown in the minute 1:30... how they are known???
Hi the kinda trailer that hooks in the box with a ball is called a gooseneck.
thanks!...
All that cheddar and no power mirrors? Common Nissan.
+GTOAviator , try finding power mirrors on Commercial Class 6 and up tractor trucks, best of luck there.
(Edit) That is Mirrors with power fold in and out, but mirrors have remote angle in and out and most offer heater to keep ice and fog free.
Never heard "nice" so much
is Kelsey a mechanic? she seems to know her stuff
Her husband is a diesel mechanic
do you have to have a class A to drive this rig
it depends
do you mean if it stays under 26001 gvw combination
Generally, but just over 10,000 GCWR if you use if for commercial work, you will need DOT which is almost a CDL
If you were to haul 5000 Lbs ... on a 1 or 2 day run, would you be wanting a Bumper Pull or Gooseneck trailer?
+mcinkyt, I as a CDL-A holder having pulled that much behind a Chevy 1500, fifth/goose is more pleasant, but having a hitch with rubber or airbag for softening the ride and eliminating the vibrations from a trailer make a better ride. I was quite eased with pulling both neck and bumper.
+Joshua Cornell Thank You
+mcinkyt, Also helps to make sure your load weight is distributed evenly not just front to back but side to side, keep the heavy stuff at or near the base and close to the axle.
Haulin his homer Simpson gut is enough to say its a good truck
Was that your grandaughter?
No that's Kelsey
a f150 I looked at last weekend was 12,200 it was gas lol
And I bet it was the 3.5 v6 ecoboost
they can put any rating they want. that thing will not pull nearly as good as this truck. Nissan has come out and said they underrated the truck for towing capacity unpurpose. this truck has over 100ft lbs of torque more than the eco boost has a heavier suspension and it also has a heavier chassis designed for the weight. big difference between this truck and a half ton
hope these trucks sell for nissan. nissan has always built solid reliable trucks. first Gen titan was a horrible seller. not sure why,I know it was ugly
Just looked at one today over $58,000.00 and not even 4 wheel drive.Not me Nissan.It's a 5/8s truck with no 8' bed.
+AirGator1 yeah, too much money for too little truck. And I'm a Nissan fanboy.
+Joshua Cornell well I looked at one inperson so I know what I saw and I know Nissan makes one but the one I looked at wasn't.It was $58,000 for a 5/8s truck.
Price in the end depends on Upgrades and Options selected, also colors. So yes it starts in the 50k range and goes up from there, then add on delivery charges and that can take some prices over the 60k up towards the 70k mark for a 5/8 pickup. Then with Dealer on top of Factory or Company discounts also help to keep the price to a minimum, then there i the trade in value on the vehicle you are looking to get rid of at the time you buy. Of course you should obviously already know all of that.
All in All I rather take that money I would pay for a 5/8 and get a 3/4 or 1 ton for the same price with better hauling. Unless I was only interested in the Nissan then I would not mind paying to get one.
Joshua Cornell people don't give away cars trucks anymore aka trade in . The dealer wanted to give me 6,400 for a SUV I sold for 14,500 a month later
It's says PRO 4x4 on the side?
I don't like the block front like most domestic vehicles. can barely see over the front and not even a little airodinamics to it. your standard brick on the road.
Tony Broderick ????
My left ear enjoy the video
AMV12S Thats just your earphobes bud.
It looks like a Ford F-150
ya dont say!
F150 with the 3.5 v6 ecoboost tows the same weight and more payload. Lmao
Trevor C true but this truck does it a lot better
Chmdh
Pretty girl, ugly truck...
This is such a lousy truck. Only 11k towing capacity is a joke for a diesel.
+Josh McCarthy
You can buy a vw golf with a diesel and that doesn't tow much.
It's not made to compete with a f-350 or likewise and the diesel has nothing to do with the towing limit for this truck.
+Josh McCarthy Its not that the truck couldn't tow any more than 11k lbs its that way it has to be rated by the government. My guess is the buyers of this truck will tow much more than that and the truck will do just fine. From a legal stand point you should be ok as long as you don't exceed your DL weight limits. This truck compared to a half ton towing 11k lbs will do it with much less effort and more comfortably. Don't get me wrong i'm not a Nissan fan boy as I have a 2014 F150 EcoBoost that is rated to tow more than this truck is rated but I would be a fool to think my F150 is built as heavy duty as this truck never mind the almost commercial grade Cummins Diesel thats in this truck.
+Joshua C Max Towing Capacities Nissan Titan XD 2016
S: 4x2 will have a max-tow rating of 12,314 pounds; 4x4,12,038 pounds - SV: 4x2, 12, 164 pounds; 4x4, 11,888 pounds - PRO-4X: 11,784 pounds (only offered in 4x4) - SL: 4x2, 11,915 pounds; 4x4, 11,638 pounds - Platinum Reserve: 4x2, 11,836, 4x4, 10,608 pounds
+Josh McCarthy Its not a Heavy Duty truck, thats why it has a lower towing capacity. It would be more than enough towing capacity for most people.
I have an F250 and it is only rated to pull 12500 on bumper pull so it is not a massive difference.
actually just over six tons get your facts right but
