I think the new Titan is a damn good looking truck. The payload and towing capacities don't bother me; as others have said, anything more than 10k on a 1500 truck is pushing it. I think TFL had the same gripe for the Power Wagon, but the truth is, both are trying to carve out a space in the off road market with that trim level. I purchased a 2018 Nissan Frontier Pro-4x about a year ago and I am very satisfied with the truck. Nissan may have screwed up with their CVT in their car, but their trucks have always been a good buy. If this new Titan is any indicator, I'm looking forward to the refreshed Frontier next year.
Got a 2017 Nissan Frontier Pro-4x I purchased at the beginning of the year and love it, will definitely be looking into the newer Titian whenever I want to get a new truck.
@@nateyoung6331 No, it is not a CVT. CVT = Continuously Variable Transmission. They don't actually have gears. Picture the transmission in a snowmobile. In short, if it is a 6 speed, 9 speed, etc., it isn't CVT. Which is good, because CVTs are generally only good in commute vehicles.
Did an overnight test drive. I'm a former 09 Altima SL owner and I loved that vehicle. When I first got into this exact titan minus the red Color I fell in love. I was so comfortable in my Altima and this felt interior wise like I was back in it. To me not being spoiled i think this interior is amazing and worth the money. I don't care about it not having high towing capacity or payload, don't care that it has a 9 inch screen compared to the ram 1500 12 inch. Took it back roading all day and it was quiet, except the nice exhaust that didn't drone on and on like the trd tundra. I will gladly pay the money to buy this very underrated truck
Rich Farfugnuven . Think the most I would tow with a trailer would be 9,500 pounds and that is assuming a 1,000 pound tongue weight. Pretty sure the XD axle could handle the weight.
@@BenLeBlanc1 of course the Titan is sold as a half ton. Maybe you were thinking of the old diesel Titan XD with the Cummins, marketed as a heavy half ton.
kris vold That Nissans PR departments fault. They don’t advertise this truck! The XD lost the diesel simply because they never advertised it and Cummins refused to build that engine any longer with nearly zero sales.
joenissan sadly I agree. Nissan has never done well enough to promote the titan!! Ever since it came out in 2004 they don’t promote the best thing they’ve made😂
And Nissan does have diesel engines, Hino actually, in international markets. I wonder how hard would it be for them to incorporate into the US market.
Nissan needs to have better base options to become more competitive. The Nissan website only gives you about 5 trim levels to work with. You can't get a bare bones truck like the F-150 or Silverado.
Nissan put their heart into this one, and you can tell. I really hope it does well for them, and would love to see the energy and excitement this truck has go into other products in their lineup! Well done Nissan.
I had a 2017 SV and I loved it. It served its purpose for the 3 years I had it. I moved my house with it, my sisters and help some others. Along with many road trips. I sold it recently for a Q50 RS because I wanted to get back into a Sports Sendan, for those who want to know. If I needed a truck again, the Titan would certainly be a top contender, as I dont Spec Sheet Shop, the over comfort was the top at the time of my purchase.
Regarding the towing numbers, the big 3 all claim amazing towing numbers, but very few of the ones that roll off the line can tow anywhere near that. Fact is that it takes (often) several packages to get that kind of number. Titan's towing number is pretty consistent in all models (higher in XD) so you actually know what you are capable of towing.
You are ABSOLUTELY CORECT. They are very tricky in the lingo. 13,000# “when properly equipped”. The Titan, is 9,000+ Off the lot, not “Oh, you need this package, and oil/Transmission cooler and so on.
Bingo. If you limit all to 4x4 crew cab the numbers come out really close for all. It’s just simple physics. Plus there are never those packages on lots, it’s special order only and exists solely to make commercials. In the software world we call this vaporware.
these guys are supposedly truck guys whose supposed to know about towing, but still do a disservice to their viewers by quoting advertised numbers that overall are jibberish. They should be honest and compare it to a similar trim packaged competitor truck. They will never tow 13,000lbs on a 1/2 ton big 3 trucks.
I like it I really do, and I'm not really that off-put by the lower towing numbers. Manly because it's an off-road focused vehicle, decent payload and good off road capability is all I'm really expecting.
Honestly, I think the 12k, 13k plus tow ratings for the 1/2 ton trucks are a joke. Most of the higher end versions of those don't have a high enough payload rating to tow anywhere near that with any reasonable amount of tongue weight. It seems like most are in the 1,300 lb range for payload (if you look at the door sticker vs. reading the mfg. website or articles), which means with 10% tongue weigh on a 13k trailer, you can hook it up - but can't put a driver in the cab!
Facts so far it's locking diff it's a lifestyle truck which Toyota isn't doing it's getting about 5 to 7 mpgs more than a tundra nicer interior and more power...... anything over 10k in a halfton is sketch when towning anyways
Right! First of all, these people talking about the Ford towing 13,000 lbs wouldn't ever tow that much Secondly, they wouldn't buy a stripped down base model xl, regular cab with no options equipped with the max tow package and the 3.5 EcoBoost because that's the truck you have to get in order to tow 13,000 lbs. Not something most truck buyers would buy. Get a similarly equipped half ton from other manufacturers and the payload and towing ratings are alot closer.
Thanks for posting this! I have a 18’ platinum reserve that I traded a GMC Canyon to get. I love the truck it’s honest, quick and comfortable. It may not have the paper specs that the big 3 have, but it can compete all day long and for the 90% of owners, it’s perfect. Also 5 YR 100k bumper to bumper warranty. Nobody has that and that alone sets this truck apart.
Since you are always so hard on the payload numbers on the titan i would love to see you do a video where you max out a chevy or ford on payload and towing ive seen videos of you testing Nissan's like that in the past
I think the towing specs that change over and over is nuts, trucks get lighter but can tow more? Some people need a lesson on weight distribution if your pulling something 3 times heavier than your machine good luck going down a mountain
I spent months researching and seeing/test driving all the competition between the Ram Rebel, Silverado trail boss, tundra trd pro and Titan pro4x. I just purchased a 2020 fully loaded Titan pro-4X for $49,871 in grey. After seeing and driving them all the features and quality was well above all the competition. I don’t know how someone could think any of the others would be better. And the payload and towing on the Titan was higher than any of the other off-road capable trucks I tested. I also checked with ford and I don’t find a comparable ford. (Besides the raptor I didn’t find a true off road multi purpose truck). On the interior the Ram was the only thing that came close but even the ones I could find didn’t have as many features. I didn’t even find one with the 12” screen in my price range. Icing on the cake, 100k mile bumper to bumper warranty continues.
I think they underrate the capability for safety as for the others they overrate to sell and I’ve seen people push their big 3 trucks to its limits and hurt them. So I’d say it’s a good buy. Before everyone starts crying over my opinion I drive a 19 Sierra and had the 19 ram that was a lemon buy back so no I am not a brand loyalist just honest opinion.
Roman says towing capacity is only 9200 or 9300 while Ford and Chevy are well over 13 thousand. What is he talking about? The Trail Boss, which is a Pro-4x competitor, is at 9500.
@VINNY_LADWIG 33 This truck is probably pretty heavy, one thing they have not done is cut weigh down, like every other truck maker has done, well except Toyota.....
Titan is a good looking Truck! If you want to talk Quality, probably one of the best on the road. The Engine they build is bullet proof, would like to see a few other choices though.
Yes the powertrain is very reliable, some issues with minor things. Exhausts tend to rust off in 4 years on any Nissan, steering wheel leather wears off in 3 years as well.
@@ohioguy4326 This is just purely incorrect. Have a 2015 Armada with 76k miles with 0 rust on the exhaust and 0 leather wear on the steering wheel. Not sure where you found this out but mine is a daily driver of 6 straight years. Those Nissans are built like tanks. 3rd Nissan I've owned and would buy 3 more. They are the most underrated company period.
Exactly if Nissan makes a GOOD WARRIOR with supercharged 5.6 or TT V6 like the raptor......They would actually bring something different and cool to the market for once.
As someone who will never go off-road, I wish y’all could do more reviews of more mid-level trim vehicles. I know these manufacturers only send spec’d out versions to you guys though unfortunately. ie: if someone how does an SV Titan compare to the others mid trim, if you got 2WD who has LSDs, etc...
its all about what the manufacturer gives them unfortunately and that usually means they give the top of the line model cause thats what that company wants you to buy
If you look for the 2019's (but they don't include the fancy safety features or redesign) it's almost -$15k off MSRP, so hopefully these drop into the 40s by next year.
@William Vagabond For full size, they all deal, especially GM. Expect to get at least 10,000 off MSRP, this was before Corvid-19 too. The prices are inflated because most full size buyers are use to heavy incentives.
@William Vagabond Absolutely, no one is buying right now. But the segment doing the best are pickup trucks, they actually had a sales increase compared to last year for the same quarter, even including March. It's going to suck for the 2nd quarter, but in these times, people seem to want trucks.
Nice review.. Driving around here with millennials looking (distracted by) at their phones I like the safety features. Keeps you safe. I do like the interior / exterior looks. Keep those reviews coming.
I’m a huge Ford guy, but let’s be real. If you need to tow more then 9000lbs then you really should be using a 3/4 truck. The fact that the Titan ONLY tows 9k is not a bad thing at all. You would never catch me towing 13k with a F150, I don’t care what Ford says it can do. I would not count this truck out if I was shopping for a new rig, This is a nice truck.
Exactly all the 1500 trucks don't toe more than 9000 something unless it is set up differently. And usually that's a 2 wheel drive and it's long bad and it's $4 and it's all different kinds of set up. So the average truck will not told that go to a three quarter or go to a one time if you want to do over ten thousand pounds and I
People never give Titan the credit it deserves They’ll rather deal with Ford shitty Transmission RAM which will be in the shop every other week bc it’s a Fiat And GM horrible 60k price tags but 10 year old interiors And the Tundra is a Extinct Dinosaur
Hey guys. In regards to towing capacity, i would say the titan is class competitive relatively speaking. Here me out. I just bought a 2020 ram big horn crew cab 5.7 (non e.tq) with 3.32 rear end. It is only rated to tow 9100 lbs. And I've noticed this for several other trucks as well when shopping that you can only get the max towing capacity advertised in specific configurations which aren't typically purchased.
Excellent truck. I have an '18 SL midnight edition XD with the cummins/aisin. My dad has an f150 which can tow over 12k due to actually being equipped properly (99% of f150s sold only tow 7k to 9k, NOT 13.5k). We much prefer the xd at that weight because over 7-8k consistent towing you really should be looking to an HD. 12k pushes the truck around A LOT.
It's interesting, that Nissan ended up where it is in trucks. I can remember as a kid growing up in 70's in SoCal when Datsun "mini-trucks" were king having about a 10 year head start (1959) and Toyota was just getting started with a pickup truck (the 'Hilux' the first one offered 1968). How things have changed.
I adore you guys together. Father and Son love who work so well together. Oh yeah.. the truck review was cool as well😘. The truck costs more than my built from scratch 1,200 sq ft all brick home in 1999... With fixtures😂
If it's a Jatco Transmission, which it is, it will breakdown before it reaches 60k miles. They are notorious for overheating and burning up...that is what Jatco Transmissions do!!! If you buy one of these your first stop once you leave the lot is to a transmission shop to have them install a top of the line Transmission COOLER!
These trucks come with great coolers already. I towed a full frame car hauler and car across country last year in the dead heat of summer 102F+ and the trans temp never budged in my 2017 Titan. That's also with a 6" lift and 35" tires.
@@FlawleZ31 I've never seen a Jatco/Nissan/Renault Transmission & Cooler that was any good. Before the Nissan-Renault Partnership, Nissan had bulletproof automatics and coolers. Did you have the Diesel?
@@Bru946 I have rebuilt several Nissans and the Manual Transmissions are bulletproof but the Jatco Mercedes/Renault/Nissan Automatics (Conventional and CVT) are shit. They overheat and burn up. If you buy this truck get a top of the line Transmission Cooler.
I have the diesel 2016 XD Platinum Reserve and absolutely love this truck. I would NEVER, nor should anyone pull over 9000LBS with a regular half ton anything! The tail will always wag that dog. At least the XD diesel is a much heavier truck with an HD frame suspension and brakes but I’d still be Leary of towing up to it’s almost 13k lb limit. Fantastic trucks. Just be sure to use them wisely.
First year Titan owner here, Nothing mechanically wrong with mine, everything works, only been to the shop one time and that was for the recall on the brakes within the first year. Issues, paint has faded, California sun (garaged for about 5 years, after that left outside), steering wheel leather on the backside has been damaged by the sun. Other than that it has been amazing. Also, I run 35’s with no issues. I have been looking to replace it, not really happy with anything out there, but this new Titan looks real good. Brand loyalty is joke but I know the Titans engines are bomb proof having driven mine through the California mountains and valleys it’s whole life. - forgot about the radiator failing two year ago, replaced myself, $300.
It is definitely nicer then the last one at least. Still would buy anyone of the competitors over it though. As always I do appreciate the content from you all, great video.
Roman has never been a Nissan fan. I understand you are more a Chevy, Ford guy. It is not fair to review a truck and give your thoughts about it when you are NOT neutral. Andre and Nathan ARE neutral please give them the responsibility to review Nissan. I am a Nissan owner and big fan of TFL but once I see Roman reviewing a Nissan product I dread watching it.Their is always 70% negatives and 30% positive.
Frank H Agree with your question. I would never tow more than 9,500 pounds. That is assuming a 1,000 pound tongue weight. I would feel comfortable with a 8,000 pound trailer.
I have a 17 titan I've towed well over the 9500 lb rating this truck has enough power to tow more but it is only half ton they never include the best warranty on a truck 5 year 100k bumper to bumper may have something to do with the low tow rating.
Frank H let's not forget that in order to tow 13,000 lbs in an f150 you have to get a stripped down base model xl regular cab with no options, and equipped with the max tow package and 3.5 EcoBoost. Nobody buys a base xl unless it's a fleet vehicle.
Without Watching the review, just based on looks alone, especially in Baja Storm w/ the orange accents this truck stands out from the pack. For me it's up there w/ the Rebel and Tundra TRD Pro. would be happy with either truck if the price was right. These on the used market might be the ticket.
These trucks are very underrated, not sure if it’s Nissan not pushing it enough or just people not biting. These are very good trucks and bulletproof, with a much better warranty, and if you pay sticker price you’re a sucker anyway!
People are worried about the $60,000 price. Nissan discounts these trucks really well so honestly in a year or so I’m sure you can find these trucks in the upper $30,000’s-$40,000s. I know the 19’s are being heavily discounted right now in my area. If I didn’t buy my ranger last year I definitely would be looking at this truck as a option. Best interior behind ram right now as well.
Almost dollar for dollar spot on with my "base" AT4 with the 6.2. It's better than it was, but I think to take business from GM, they need to be a couple G's cheaper.
Still no rear center head restraint. IMO the only negative to this truck. Don’t know why they haven’t added one yet. These are now used primarily as family haulers and rear occupant safety is a key factor in many peoples purchasing decisions. Even GMC recognized this and added a center head restraint to the current Silverado and Sierra.
I got Yesterday new GMC 1,500 AT4 3.0 Duramax diesel, I was looking at the Nissan or GMC to get one the GMC all loaded and was cheaper than Nissan :) I was surprised so I decided and I got GMC
Very sharp looking. I still feel like they are missing an opportunity by not offering a base V6 for fleet and business customers. Most of them just do not need a big v8 as it makes little business sense when you only need the utility of having a bed.
Ford XLT are upwards of $55k, with barely any features. Lariats reach up to $64k, platinum and king Ranch's are $66-$69k, and the limited is between $72-75k. Options for options, the Titan still a bargain. The payload and towing are fine. If anyone wants to tow more than 95001lbs, that should seriously consider a 3/4 ton. Way to much stress on a half ton truck motor and suspension with all that weight. Longevity will be shortgevity pulling so much weight with a half ton truck
I don’t understand why these 9 and 10 speed transmissions have such tall gearing between 1-4. They should be closer together for acceleration and torque. I don’t understand the point of having the extra gears if they’re going to be so damned tall. 🙄
Nissan is going downhill, but I think the new titan’s are one of the best vehicles they make. Still expensive, but a much better value then most of its competitors. Considering trading in my 2012 tundra platinum for the pro 4x 🤔
Just realize you're going to be going from the largest full size crew cab interior space to the smallest. The only truck on the market that matches Tundra crewmax interior space is Ram mega cab.
This truck looks a lot better inside and out than the last one. But 1200lbs of payload is really bad for a full size. Thats what Mid-size trucks can do.
@@captainstabbin9338 Yeah, the previous model of Titan had the same issue. The diesel could not even legally tow is max load without going over its GVWR.
@TFLnow great write-up, but I do have to make one correction for you, the Titan doesn't come with Lane-Keep Assist, it comes with Lane-Departure Warning, which is different. Lane-Keep Assist will help steer the car back into the lane, where Lane-Departure Warning just gives you a notification that you're drifting from your lane. I don't think I would want a vehicle with a high center of gravity trying to steer for me, which is why I'm ok with it not having Lane-Keep Assist. Other than that, nice video.
As far as I've read, this basically the same set up as the Nissan Patrol. If that's the case, Nismo has tuning available that gives this thing another 28hp. That would be pretty cool on top of what looks to be a great package.
The only thing that bums me *a bit* about these is they don't have the _absurd_ amount of legroom in the rear like the Ram, GMC and Ford. *EDIT*: For anyone interested, qualification of my comment: 2020 Nissan Titan: Front 41.8", Rear: 38.5" [Combined: 80.3"] 2020 Ram 1500: Front 40.9", Rear: 45.2" [Combined: 86.1"] 2020 Ford F-150: Front 43.9", Rear: 43.6" [Combined: 87.5"] 6-7.5 more inches in the cabin is a noticeable size difference. I should have quantified my comment before instead of using an arbitrary word like "absurd". I was actually surprised the Ford beat the Ram in legroom given all the hub-bub Ram got for the +4 inches they added in the rear for 2019 redesign.
Good video, I have a Frontier Pro-4x and it’s a great truck. Going to get the Titan Pro-4x in some time, can’t wait to see this thing off road. Should take it up to Canada for that Pipeline trail.
My dad has a 2011 Titan and I like it better than the 2020 as the 2011 welcomes you to the truck saying "Welcome to drive and talk" and when you shut off the engine it says "Goodbye" so it's the little things I like truck manufactueres add to the trucks
I also really like it, particularly the shorter looking front. I don't care too much about the max. towing capacity, since in real world applications people usually tow in trucks like this less than 7 or 8 thousand lbs anyway.
13:09 I add "... the amount of complexity, the amount of unreliability and future problems", so good for Nissan and Toyota if they keep things simple and reliable.
Seriously good timing guys. In the market for a new truck. Recently got a new to me Nissan NV3500 service van and I like it. Now for the first time been considering a Titan. Anybody have an experience with these new Titans?
It's not from the current generation but I have a 2005 that is still running strong. Only issues it ever had was some old worn out seals that needed replacing.
I’ve owned 3, 2014 SV, 2015 Pro4X and now a 2017 XD Pro4X, never had an issue, very reliable, fantastic warranty on the 2017. Truck is very under rated for what you get for your $. Compare the features you get with any other truck and you’d be surprised. Was hoping for the Warrior but think in another year I’ll be trading to a 21 XD Pro4X when available.
Great point by Tommy at the end about the tester having $11k worth of options. Don't lease options. Or get a big discount and base the lease on that, but don't discount the residual.
Lots of nissan titan haters out there. But if you are here for a nice reliable big 3 alternative with a strong V8 and excellent ride. Look no further than the titan or titan XD.
@Paul von Helger For sure...but I don't foresee the price being discounted much given the refresh model in it's first year. I will probably wait to years end before I order one.
@@codysmith9813 That's what I'm talking about! There are seemingly endless terms of pricing all designed to confuse the consumer. I need someone the clarify them all.
@@nilsjohansson9739 Its all about scamming us into thinking we got a great deal and are happy. Even though we could have gotten a better deal depending on dealership and time (date) that you negotiated. They try to get as much $ from us as possible, especially in financing.
Torn. I have a Tacoma double cab and it’s enough truck but with a baby and hopefully another one soon, I’ve already outgrown my Tacoma. Want to trade it in for a Tundra but it’s hard to ignore this Titan, especially considering that you can get massive discounts on the Titan while the Tundra really doesn’t budge much.
For the sake of testing the voice recognition in the navigation fairly. You should ask it to navigate to a popular chain restaurant or coffee shop. Seems like almost all of the cars you test can not get it right. Snarfs is a difficult word to understand and what the hell is Snarfs anyway. Be fair. Choose Starbucks or Subway or McDonalds.
Beautiful truck BUT it's seriously overpriced. For a company trying to win buyers and still losing sales... no way someone paying 60K for this. The Rebel cost way less with better tech, leg room and overall bigger truck.
I liked the pre refresh Titan, but I really like the refreshed 2020 Titan especially in Pro4x trim. I have actually sat in one because of my job taking pictures of vehicles and I have to agree with your assessment. It definitely stepped it up a notch or three and is very competitive now. Yeah there are few things they missed on or forgot to include in a truck for that price, but still a really nice truck. One thing that I am not sure about is in Alex on Autos review he mentioned that when backing up to a trailer the rear parking sensor kept beeping and he couldn't turn it off, but that was on an SV trim. It would be rather annoying trying to line up your trailer and having that alarm go off. It looks like this one may have that sensor switch by what Tommy pointed out, but not sure. Nice that they gave you TFL red instead of the Baja Storm which is what everyone was getting. I love the Baja Storm color and the dark grey, but it was everyone and slightly losing its appeal and coolness. Here in a year I may consider this truck especially in the preowned market or if there are decent discounts. Thanks for sharing.
I love mine I say solid 7.5 rating. I had a Silverado and I say very poor build quality and inside was a bunch of hard plastic. 4.5. My f150 was a solid 7.0 I had to take it to the dealership for a few fixes the first month
I like it a lot ... the only thing is that right now you can get better trucks for the same price . If you want an off-road truck but for care about anything else get a tundra trd pro. If you want a nice exterior but don’t care about interior looks get a Chevy trail boss. Ford and ram are bit more we’ll balance in my opinion... the interior ram in the best by far the, but the exterior it’s ok but it has good options... To me the ram is the most well balanced between off-road and every day driving.. very comfortable
Who is really towing 12 to 13 thousand pounds in a 1500 chassis. Personally that is too risky for me as someone who regularly tows between 6 to 8 thousand pounds. Just because I could doesn't mean I would with a 1500. If I'm spending the money anyways I'm already buying the 2500. So who cares that I could. Plus the majority of consumers dont tow beyond 8000 anyways if they even tow on average with a 1500. Just my thoughts as an individual who is a sales rep for all of those truck brands Chevy Ford Ram Toyota and Nissan. Ive never had a customer tell me they want a 1500 chassis to tow over 11 grand. They always point to a 2500. And for good reason. It's very risky to tow something that heavy and not at least use a 5th wheel. Which I wouldnt do on a 1500 because that would be stupid. You need a heavier chassis to counter the potential for trailer sway. That said, I love that Titan. Fantastic and it does have the industry best standard warranty. 5 yr 100k miles bumper to bumper. I love all trucks, but towing over 12 grand in a 1500 is scary. Low and slow
Great job father and son. Love the give and take between father and son, never in agreement on every little detail. Sounds just like my household
Roman reminds me of my dad. Stubborn as hell and stuck in his ways. The contrast between him and Tommy is great tho.
I think the new Titan is a damn good looking truck. The payload and towing capacities don't bother me; as others have said, anything more than 10k on a 1500 truck is pushing it. I think TFL had the same gripe for the Power Wagon, but the truth is, both are trying to carve out a space in the off road market with that trim level. I purchased a 2018 Nissan Frontier Pro-4x about a year ago and I am very satisfied with the truck. Nissan may have screwed up with their CVT in their car, but their trucks have always been a good buy. If this new Titan is any indicator, I'm looking forward to the refreshed Frontier next year.
Got a 2017 Nissan Frontier Pro-4x I purchased at the beginning of the year and love it, will definitely be looking into the newer Titian whenever I want to get a new truck.
Have they ever put a cvt in a truck? Is the new 9 speed a cvt? If not this may be my next truck.
@@nateyoung6331 No, it is not a CVT. CVT = Continuously Variable Transmission. They don't actually have gears. Picture the transmission in a snowmobile.
In short, if it is a 6 speed, 9 speed, etc., it isn't CVT. Which is good, because CVTs are generally only good in commute vehicles.
Did an overnight test drive. I'm a former 09 Altima SL owner and I loved that vehicle. When I first got into this exact titan minus the red Color I fell in love. I was so comfortable in my Altima and this felt interior wise like I was back in it. To me not being spoiled i think this interior is amazing and worth the money. I don't care about it not having high towing capacity or payload, don't care that it has a 9 inch screen compared to the ram 1500 12 inch. Took it back roading all day and it was quiet, except the nice exhaust that didn't drone on and on like the trd tundra. I will gladly pay the money to buy this very underrated truck
How much are they marking the titan down now?
@@Lumpia_In_Texas starting out at

I'm a chevy guy but I have to admit that this is a very good deal.
I would never tow 13k in a half ton truck anyway. If you're towing that much weight get at least a 3/4 ton truck.
Rich Farfugnuven . Think the most I would tow with a trailer would be 9,500 pounds and that is assuming a 1,000 pound tongue weight. Pretty sure the XD axle could handle the weight.
You need at least semi with double frame 4.10 gears 18 speed and 800 hp engine.
That’s so true, anything over 10,000 pounds in a 1,500 size truck is just pushing it.

Nissan needs to have better base options to become more competitive. The Nissan website only gives you about 5 trim levels to work with. You can't get a bare bones truck like the F-150 or Silverado.

Nissan put their heart into this one, and you can tell. I really hope it does well for them, and would love to see the energy and excitement this truck has go into other products in their lineup! Well done Nissan.
I had a 2017 SV and I loved it. It served its purpose for the 3 years I had it. I moved my house with it, my sisters and help some others. Along with many road trips. I sold it recently for a Q50 RS because I wanted to get back into a Sports Sendan, for those who want to know. If I needed a truck again, the Titan would certainly be a top contender, as I dont Spec Sheet Shop, the over comfort was the top at the time of my purchase.
That's an extremely good looking truck.
I love the color.
I like watching them trigger eachother lowkey.
This is me and my dad stuck together during state shutdown as well I feel the pain
Lmao 🤣 💯
Regarding the towing numbers, the big 3 all claim amazing towing numbers, but very few of the ones that roll off the line can tow anywhere near that. Fact is that it takes (often) several packages to get that kind of number. Titan's towing number is pretty consistent in all models (higher in XD) so you actually know what you are capable of towing.
You are ABSOLUTELY CORECT. They are very tricky in the lingo. 13,000# “when properly equipped”. The Titan, is 9,000+
Off the lot, not “Oh, you need this package, and oil/Transmission cooler and so on.
Yeah you have to get the lowest trim with a single cab and a towing package basically. A work truck.
Bingo. If you limit all to 4x4 crew cab the numbers come out really close for all. It’s just simple physics.
Plus there are never those packages on lots, it’s special order only and exists solely to make commercials. In the software world we call this vaporware.
these guys are supposedly truck guys whose supposed to know about towing, but still do a disservice to their viewers by quoting advertised numbers that overall are jibberish. They should be honest and compare it to a similar trim packaged competitor truck.
They will never tow 13,000lbs on a 1/2 ton big 3 trucks.
I like it I really do, and I'm not really that off-put by the lower towing numbers. Manly because it's an off-road focused vehicle, decent payload and good off road capability is all I'm really expecting.
Honestly, I think the 12k, 13k plus tow ratings for the 1/2 ton trucks are a joke. Most of the higher end versions of those don't have a high enough payload rating to tow anywhere near that with any reasonable amount of tongue weight. It seems like most are in the 1,300 lb range for payload (if you look at the door sticker vs. reading the mfg. website or articles), which means with 10% tongue weigh on a 13k trailer, you can hook it up - but can't put a driver in the cab!
Facts so far it's locking diff it's a lifestyle truck which Toyota isn't doing it's getting about 5 to 7 mpgs more than a tundra nicer interior and more power...... anything over 10k in a halfton is sketch when towning anyways
@@JS-um4vr ya haha youd have to get a remote control for it what happens if you go over payload in a car or truck
@@JS-um4vr Yeah you have to pay close attention to the specific vehicle you're interested in buying.
Right! First of all, these people talking about the Ford towing 13,000 lbs wouldn't ever tow that much
Secondly, they wouldn't buy a stripped down base model xl, regular cab with no options equipped with the max tow package and the 3.5 EcoBoost because that's the truck you have to get in order to tow 13,000 lbs. Not something most truck buyers would buy. Get a similarly equipped half ton from other manufacturers and the payload and towing ratings are alot closer.
Thanks for posting this! I have a 18’ platinum reserve that I traded a GMC Canyon to get. I love the truck it’s honest, quick and comfortable. It may not have the paper specs that the big 3 have, but it can compete all day long and for the 90% of owners, it’s perfect. Also 5 YR 100k bumper to bumper warranty. Nobody has that and that alone sets this truck apart.
Same boat as you
Best truck for the money. I have an 18 pro 4x and love it! Out wheels GMC, Chevys,Fords, and rams. Great engine and transmission!
FahyOutdoors out wheels on what planet vs the f150 2.7??
F150 is junk 🤡
What about Toyota?
Since you are always so hard on the payload numbers on the titan i would love to see you do a video where you max out a chevy or ford on payload and towing ive seen videos of you testing Nissan's like that in the past
I think the towing specs that change over and over is nuts, trucks get lighter but can tow more? Some people need a lesson on weight distribution if your pulling something 3 times heavier than your machine good luck going down a mountain
Roman: And my hair is hitting the top the roof
Nathan:
I spent months researching and seeing/test driving all the competition between the Ram Rebel, Silverado trail boss, tundra trd pro and Titan pro4x. I just purchased a 2020 fully loaded Titan pro-4X for $49,871 in grey. After seeing and driving them all the features and quality was well above all the competition. I don’t know how someone could think any of the others would be better. And the payload and towing on the Titan was higher than any of the other off-road capable trucks I tested. I also checked with ford and I don’t find a comparable ford. (Besides the raptor I didn’t find a true off road multi purpose truck). On the interior the Ram was the only thing that came close but even the ones I could find didn’t have as many features. I didn’t even find one with the 12” screen in my price range. Icing on the cake, 100k mile bumper to bumper warranty continues.
How's it treating you so far??
I think they underrate the capability for safety as for the others they overrate to sell and I’ve seen people push their big 3 trucks to its limits and hurt them. So I’d say it’s a good buy. Before everyone starts crying over my opinion I drive a 19 Sierra and had the 19 ram that was a lemon buy back so no I am not a brand loyalist just honest opinion.
Roman says towing capacity is only 9200 or 9300 while Ford and Chevy are well over 13 thousand. What is he talking about? The Trail Boss, which is a Pro-4x competitor, is at 9500.
Exactly my point to my comment made on his video
@VINNY_LADWIG 33 This truck is probably pretty heavy, one thing they have not done is cut weigh down, like every other truck maker has done, well except Toyota.....
@VINNY_LADWIG 33 Not true. When Nissan released the 1st gen Titan it outperformed every half ton available.
@@garys2157 I weighed my 2017 and it's right at 6K lbs. That's with 110 lb 35" tires on each corner
The ram rebel is also a direct competitor and it can tow over 11k so that’s a substantially higher than 9,200
I had a 2005 Titan for 9 years, still miss that truck. I would consider one again now that they have finally updated it a bit.
9.6.... man that altitude really hits that 0-60. Down here in Florida ... literally ‘down’ here it’s like 2-3 seconds faster lol
A very underrated truck, my 2010 is the best vehicle I’ve ever owned, had it since new.
The Titan is underrated but a real nice like the upgrades for 2020.
Titan is a good looking Truck! If you want to talk Quality, probably one of the best on the road. The Engine they build is bullet proof, would like to see a few other choices though.
Maybe Naturally aspirated or Turbo V6 engines? I know the Patrol has the old VQ40 V6. But they’ll probably put in the 3.8 V6 from the new Frontier.
Yes the powertrain is very reliable, some issues with minor things. Exhausts tend to rust off in 4 years on any Nissan, steering wheel leather wears off in 3 years as well.
Down in the south the exhaust does not rust off. I have a 2013 Titan and no rust on it anywhere.
@@ohioguy4326 This is just purely incorrect. Have a 2015 Armada with 76k miles with 0 rust on the exhaust and 0 leather wear on the steering wheel. Not sure where you found this out but mine is a daily driver of 6 straight years. Those Nissans are built like tanks. 3rd Nissan I've owned and would buy 3 more. They are the most underrated company period.
Picking mine up tomorrow 2021 titan pro 4x black on black 4.1 miles on it I’m getting it for 50k 0% for 84 months can’t complain
Towing capacity is nearly 11k on the xd version, if your towing more then that then you should be looking into a 3/4 ton truck.
Its 11,040 to be exact.
I love my 2015 Titan pro-4x!
Would love to see head to head against the Rebel for driving, towing, payload, and off road.
I would give it a strong buy. Very underated truck.
BryB ... it is homosexual.
I always wrote it off but what blew me away was the warranty... it's longest in market by +2 years. Pretty solid.
rob379, your point?
Can't justify the 60k price tag on a full size pick-up truck but is all about that 60k+ Gladiator.
Still waiting in that warrior concept trim
Aren't we all...
Paul von Helger yep, the PRO-4X is comparable to the Fords FX4, whereas the Warrior would be comparable to the Raptor.
I would certainly be interested as well but since sales numbers are low for this truck it's not likely to ever see the light of day.
Exactly if Nissan makes a GOOD WARRIOR with supercharged 5.6 or TT V6 like the raptor......They would actually bring something different and cool to the market for once.
Gyrenaica 135. Would be nice to buy a Titan Warrior package. If there was one available I would install it myself.
Rofl, the arguments, Roman hates Nissan, Tommy tries to keep it roped in
As someone who will never go off-road, I wish y’all could do more reviews of more mid-level trim vehicles. I know these manufacturers only send spec’d out versions to you guys though unfortunately. ie: if someone how does an SV Titan compare to the others mid trim, if you got 2WD who has LSDs, etc...
its all about what the manufacturer gives them unfortunately and that usually means they give the top of the line model cause thats what that company wants you to buy
60k is Still cheaper than the competitors equally trimmed out
No one should be paying 60k for this truck.
If you look for the 2019's (but they don't include the fancy safety features or redesign) it's almost -$15k off MSRP, so hopefully these drop into the 40s by next year.
Mark II no one should pay 60k for ANY HALF TON
@William Vagabond For full size, they all deal, especially GM. Expect to get at least 10,000 off MSRP, this was before Corvid-19 too. The prices are inflated because most full size buyers are use to heavy incentives.
@William Vagabond Absolutely, no one is buying right now. But the segment doing the best are pickup trucks, they actually had a sales increase compared to last year for the same quarter, even including March. It's going to suck for the 2nd quarter, but in these times, people seem to want trucks.
Nice review.. Driving around here with millennials looking (distracted by) at their phones I like the safety features. Keeps you safe. I do like the interior / exterior looks. Keep those reviews coming.
I like it...it's got column shift..I hate those switch dial shifters...thanks for keeping up with videos
I’m a huge Ford guy, but let’s be real. If you need to tow more then 9000lbs then you really should be using a 3/4 truck. The fact that the Titan ONLY tows 9k is not a bad thing at all. You would never catch me towing 13k with a F150, I don’t care what Ford says it can do. I would not count this truck out if I was shopping for a new rig, This is a nice truck.
I'd pull a 13k flat deck all day long and wouldn't think anything of it. It's the big boxes you gotta worry about.
Matt. You are one of the few people on here with common sense. Towing 10k+ in a half ton is suicide.
@@Bru946 No it isn't. It's the shape of the trailer and the speed that matters, not the weight. It's an aero issue.
Last I checked, Ford with a V8 tows around 9100lbs, same as Chevy/GMC. 8800lbs in the Tundra.
@khronosfateless 4 door, 4x4 with 5 foot bed, which is by far the most popular is 8800lbs
Exactly all the 1500 trucks don't toe more than 9000 something unless it is set up differently. And usually that's a 2 wheel drive and it's long bad and it's $4 and it's all different kinds of set up. So the average truck will not told that go to a three quarter or go to a one time if you want to do over ten thousand pounds and I
People never give Titan the credit it deserves
They’ll rather deal with Ford shitty Transmission
RAM which will be in the shop every other week bc it’s a Fiat
And GM horrible 60k price tags but 10 year old interiors
And the Tundra is a Extinct Dinosaur
Ya the ram is crap I don't like fiat and gm quality is gone downhill from what I see I like Nissan for the price
Do you own a Titan?
@@officialyasir me no but if they sold them where I live I'd definitely get a Nissan or ford
Finally someone with sense.
@@Bru946 yes I wish that the press would do that talk to people who own them for a few years and talk to people who fix them
The most underrated truck in America
@2:18 witness Tommy ignore the s@#t out of his dad's comment/question about how he feels about the towing capacity! 🤣🤣🤣😂
Hey guys. In regards to towing capacity, i would say the titan is class competitive relatively speaking. Here me out. I just bought a 2020 ram big horn crew cab 5.7 (non e.tq) with 3.32 rear end. It is only rated to tow 9100 lbs. And I've noticed this for several other trucks as well when shopping that you can only get the max towing capacity advertised in specific configurations which aren't typically purchased.
Excellent truck. I have an '18 SL midnight edition XD with the cummins/aisin. My dad has an f150 which can tow over 12k due to actually being equipped properly (99% of f150s sold only tow 7k to 9k, NOT 13.5k). We much prefer the xd at that weight because over 7-8k consistent towing you really should be looking to an HD. 12k pushes the truck around A LOT.
It's interesting, that Nissan ended up where it is in trucks. I can remember as a kid growing up in 70's in SoCal when Datsun "mini-trucks" were king having about a 10 year head start (1959) and Toyota was just getting started with a pickup truck (the 'Hilux' the first one offered 1968). How things have changed.
I like the interior with the exception of the shiny black plastic, the exterior is sharp!
I adore you guys together. Father and Son love who work so well together. Oh yeah.. the truck review was cool as well😘. The truck costs more than my built from scratch 1,200 sq ft all brick home in 1999... With fixtures😂
Probably the #1 truck on my list!
If it's a Jatco Transmission, which it is, it will breakdown before it reaches 60k miles. They are notorious for overheating and burning up...that is what Jatco Transmissions do!!! If you buy one of these your first stop once you leave the lot is to a transmission shop to have them install a top of the line Transmission COOLER!
These trucks come with great coolers already. I towed a full frame car hauler and car across country last year in the dead heat of summer 102F+ and the trans temp never budged in my 2017 Titan. That's also with a 6" lift and 35" tires.
@@FlawleZ31 I've never seen a Jatco/Nissan/Renault Transmission & Cooler that was any good. Before the Nissan-Renault Partnership, Nissan had bulletproof automatics and coolers. Did you have the Diesel?
@@theylied1776 No I have the regular Titan (NonXD) and gas 5.6L VK56VD.
Those are jatco CVTs. Regular Jatco automatics are solid.
@@Bru946 I have rebuilt several Nissans and the Manual Transmissions are bulletproof but the Jatco Mercedes/Renault/Nissan Automatics (Conventional and CVT) are shit. They overheat and burn up. If you buy this truck get a top of the line Transmission Cooler.
I have the diesel 2016 XD Platinum Reserve and absolutely love this truck. I would NEVER, nor should anyone pull over 9000LBS with a regular half ton anything! The tail will always wag that dog. At least the XD diesel is a much heavier truck with an HD frame suspension and brakes but I’d still be Leary of towing up to it’s almost 13k lb limit. Fantastic trucks. Just be sure to use them wisely.
First year Titan owner here, Nothing mechanically wrong with mine, everything works, only been to the shop one time and that was for the recall on the brakes within the first year. Issues, paint has faded, California sun (garaged for about 5 years, after that left outside), steering wheel leather on the backside has been damaged by the sun. Other than that it has been amazing. Also, I run 35’s with no issues. I have been looking to replace it, not really happy with anything out there, but this new Titan looks real good. Brand loyalty is joke but I know the Titans engines are bomb proof having driven mine through the California mountains and valleys it’s whole life.
- forgot about the radiator failing two year ago, replaced myself, $300.
Thanks for keeping us entertained while we're stuck inside!
It is definitely nicer then the last one at least. Still would buy anyone of the competitors over it though. As always I do appreciate the content from you all, great video.
Roman has never been a Nissan fan. I understand you are more a Chevy, Ford guy. It is not fair to review a truck and give your thoughts about it when you are NOT neutral. Andre and Nathan ARE neutral please give them the responsibility to review Nissan.
I am a Nissan owner and big fan of TFL but once I see Roman reviewing a Nissan product I dread watching it.Their is always 70% negatives and 30% positive.
Salvador Razo I always thought the same thing but he seemed to really like the 2020 surprisingly.
It was a pretty fair review, dont be a crybaby
He literally said he has always liked Nissan and is a fan and liked how it drives. Yep totally biased.
Sure, the top engine and tow package f150 will tow more, but would you want to tow more than 10k lbs with a light duty truck?
Frank H Agree with your question. I would never tow more than 9,500 pounds. That is assuming a 1,000 pound tongue weight. I would feel comfortable with a 8,000 pound trailer.
I have a 17 titan I've towed well over the 9500 lb rating this truck has enough power to tow more but it is only half ton they never include the best warranty on a truck 5 year 100k bumper to bumper may have something to do with the low tow rating.
Frank H let's not forget that in order to tow 13,000 lbs in an f150 you have to get a stripped down base model xl regular cab with no options, and equipped with the max tow package and 3.5 EcoBoost. Nobody buys a base xl unless it's a fleet vehicle.
Without Watching the review, just based on looks alone, especially in Baja Storm w/ the orange accents this truck stands out from the pack. For me it's up there w/ the Rebel and Tundra TRD Pro. would be happy with either truck if the price was right. These on the used market might be the ticket.
These trucks are very underrated, not sure if it’s Nissan not pushing it enough or just people not biting. These are very good trucks and bulletproof, with a much better warranty, and if you pay sticker price you’re a sucker anyway!
People are worried about the $60,000 price. Nissan discounts these trucks really well so honestly in a year or so I’m sure you can find these trucks in the upper $30,000’s-$40,000s. I know the 19’s are being heavily discounted right now in my area. If I didn’t buy my ranger last year I definitely would be looking at this truck as a option. Best interior behind ram right now as well.
They won't be discounting 2020's until late in the cycle, if at all, because it's a 1st year refresh.
Captain Stabbin of course. It’s why I said I’m sure Nissan will year or two. Some are already $5000 off due to the virus
Almost dollar for dollar spot on with my "base" AT4 with the 6.2. It's better than it was, but I think to take business from GM, they need to be a couple G's cheaper.
kc2giw still more than a 2.7 XLT FX4 F150 tho
I'd rather pay the same and not have to deal with GM quality and recalls. 6.2 is a great engine though.
@@Lokyr00 GMC RECALL CITY.
Still no rear center head restraint. IMO the only negative to this truck. Don’t know why they haven’t added one yet. These are now used primarily as family haulers and rear occupant safety is a key factor in many peoples purchasing decisions. Even GMC recognized this and added a center head restraint to the current Silverado and Sierra.
10:55 "See how the Hula Girl's dancing here" ... now that's a novel test! Love it!
Such a nice interior!
Imo its better looking than ram and chevy, and the interior is definitely upscale for sure!!!
I got Yesterday new GMC 1,500 AT4 3.0 Duramax diesel,
I was looking at the Nissan or GMC to get one the GMC all loaded and was cheaper than Nissan :)
I was surprised so I decided and I got GMC
Congrats!
TFLnow thank you, I seen you guys been testing the little brother Duramax so I got one
Very sharp looking. I still feel like they are missing an opportunity by not offering a base V6 for fleet and business customers. Most of them just do not need a big v8 as it makes little business sense when you only need the utility of having a bed.
Ford XLT are upwards of $55k, with barely any features. Lariats reach up to $64k, platinum and king Ranch's are $66-$69k, and the limited is between $72-75k. Options for options, the Titan still a bargain. The payload and towing are fine. If anyone wants to tow more than 95001lbs, that should seriously consider a 3/4 ton. Way to much stress on a half ton truck motor and suspension with all that weight. Longevity will be shortgevity pulling so much weight with a half ton truck
Just make sure and take those running boards off when you take it up the trail.
Have to figure in incentives. I’ve seen people getting 12-15k off sticker for titans
For all full size.
Incentives and Nissan dealers willingness to deal.
1 thing I gotta say is that my dads Titan pro 4x can tow and haul over capacity, and I heard the XD'S could tow 16k.
I don’t understand why these 9 and 10 speed transmissions have such tall gearing between 1-4. They should be closer together for acceleration and torque. I don’t understand the point of having the extra gears if they’re going to be so damned tall. 🙄
Nissan is going downhill, but I think the new titan’s are one of the best vehicles they make. Still expensive, but a much better value then most of its competitors. Considering trading in my 2012 tundra platinum for the pro 4x 🤔
Just realize you're going to be going from the largest full size crew cab interior space to the smallest. The only truck on the market that matches Tundra crewmax interior space is Ram mega cab.
Captain Stabbin true, but I’ve never really needed that much space in the back anyways 🤷🏻♂️
This truck looks a lot better inside and out than the last one. But 1200lbs of payload is really bad for a full size. Thats what Mid-size trucks can do.
Even the stupid Honda Ridgeline has a 1600 lb payload capacity. Nissan ooofed big time.
@@captainstabbin9338 Yeah, the previous model of Titan had the same issue. The diesel could not even legally tow is max load without going over its GVWR.
"Just because you should" definitely means you need something that can!

@TFLnow great write-up, but I do have to make one correction for you, the Titan doesn't come with Lane-Keep Assist, it comes with Lane-Departure Warning, which is different. Lane-Keep Assist will help steer the car back into the lane, where Lane-Departure Warning just gives you a notification that you're drifting from your lane. I don't think I would want a vehicle with a high center of gravity trying to steer for me, which is why I'm ok with it not having Lane-Keep Assist. Other than that, nice video.
6:32 The TRD PRO Tacoma does have a rear locker. Maybe you meant Tundra
lol so should we trust this guy's opinion? i think not!
Super reliable love it 🤩
As far as I've read, this basically the same set up as the Nissan Patrol. If that's the case, Nismo has tuning available that gives this thing another 28hp. That would be pretty cool on top of what looks to be a great package.
The only thing that bums me *a bit* about these is they don't have the _absurd_ amount of legroom in the rear like the Ram, GMC and Ford.
*EDIT*: For anyone interested, qualification of my comment:
2020 Nissan Titan: Front 41.8", Rear: 38.5" [Combined: 80.3"]
2020 Ram 1500: Front 40.9", Rear: 45.2" [Combined: 86.1"]
2020 Ford F-150: Front 43.9", Rear: 43.6" [Combined: 87.5"]
6-7.5 more inches in the cabin is a noticeable size difference. I should have quantified my comment before instead of using an arbitrary word like "absurd". I was actually surprised the Ford beat the Ram in legroom given all the hub-bub Ram got for the +4 inches they added in the rear for 2019 redesign.
Riyad, you are wrong, have you ever seen a titan back seat in real life?
@@jmgaming1224 He's not wrong. Nissan has the least rear occupancy space of any crew cab full size pickup.
Alot of value. Stopped by the dealer on the way home and they had 2 2019 for 47000. Big truck
John jay drott they got pro 4x marked down to 39000 at the petro nissan dealer in Hattiesburg ms
Good video, I have a Frontier Pro-4x and it’s a great truck. Going to get the Titan Pro-4x in some time, can’t wait to see this thing off road. Should take it up to Canada for that Pipeline trail.
My dad has a 2011 Titan and I like it better than the 2020 as the 2011 welcomes you to the truck saying "Welcome to drive and talk" and when you shut off the engine it says "Goodbye" so it's the little things I like truck manufactueres add to the trucks
I also really like it, particularly the shorter looking front. I don't care too much about the max. towing capacity, since in real world applications people usually tow in trucks like this less than 7 or 8 thousand lbs anyway.
Its funny that the towing capacity is lower than ford yet then titan could tow the ford easily and the fords rpms go trough the roof
I like it...in between full size and mid mixed, buy it used and it's a good value
13:09 I add "... the amount of complexity, the amount of unreliability and future problems", so good for Nissan and Toyota if they keep things simple and reliable.
Seriously good timing guys. In the market for a new truck. Recently got a new to me Nissan NV3500 service van and I like it. Now for the first time been considering a Titan. Anybody have an experience with these new Titans?
I have a 2018, i like it , does everything just as good or better then the other brands.......huge warranty is good to
Great truck
It's not from the current generation but I have a 2005 that is still running strong. Only issues it ever had was some old worn out seals that needed replacing.
I have a 17 Pro 4X great truck. No issues and a great warranty
I’ve owned 3, 2014 SV, 2015 Pro4X and now a 2017 XD Pro4X, never had an issue, very reliable, fantastic warranty on the 2017. Truck is very under rated for what you get for your $. Compare the features you get with any other truck and you’d be surprised. Was hoping for the Warrior but think in another year I’ll be trading to a 21 XD Pro4X when available.
I'd say buy it! It's a really good truck! Depending how you use it. It's towing and payload is just fine.
I love how he was turning and merging onto a highway to test the 0-60. Why not do a straight away like every other truck
Great point by Tommy at the end about the tester having $11k worth of options. Don't lease options. Or get a big discount and base the lease on that, but don't discount the residual.
Lots of nissan titan haters out there. But if you are here for a nice reliable big 3 alternative with a strong V8 and excellent ride. Look no further than the titan or titan XD.
That price point better come down if they want to sell any! Nice rig!
@Paul von Helger For sure...but I don't foresee the price being discounted much given the refresh model in it's first year. I will probably wait to years end before I order one.
@Paul von Helger that would be a good episode. MSRP, Dealer Invoice, etc, etc, etc. I would like to understand all these wierd price references more.
@Paul von Helger Invoice is not what dealers pay, thats what they want you to think. (Hold back) is what they pay below invoice.

Torn. I have a Tacoma double cab and it’s enough truck but with a baby and hopefully another one soon, I’ve already outgrown my Tacoma. Want to trade it in for a Tundra but it’s hard to ignore this Titan, especially considering that you can get massive discounts on the Titan while the Tundra really doesn’t budge much.

David Iniguez Jr Complexity is the point of the exercise.
Beautiful truck BUT it's seriously overpriced. For a company trying to win buyers and still losing sales... no way someone paying 60K for this. The Rebel cost way less with better tech, leg room and overall bigger truck.
Nice looking truck. Just does not offer anything so much better than other trucks to make me want it.
Is the apple car play and android auto wireless?
I read somewhere that this is a Mercedes based 9 speed that was licensed to Nissan /Jatco. They may have beefed up the cooling system for towing.
I liked the pre refresh Titan, but I really like the refreshed 2020 Titan especially in Pro4x trim. I have actually sat in one because of my job taking pictures of vehicles and I have to agree with your assessment. It definitely stepped it up a notch or three and is very competitive now. Yeah there are few things they missed on or forgot to include in a truck for that price, but still a really nice truck. One thing that I am not sure about is in Alex on Autos review he mentioned that when backing up to a trailer the rear parking sensor kept beeping and he couldn't turn it off, but that was on an SV trim. It would be rather annoying trying to line up your trailer and having that alarm go off. It looks like this one may have that sensor switch by what Tommy pointed out, but not sure.
Nice that they gave you TFL red instead of the Baja Storm which is what everyone was getting. I love the Baja Storm color and the dark grey, but it was everyone and slightly losing its appeal and coolness. Here in a year I may consider this truck especially in the preowned market or if there are decent discounts. Thanks for sharing.
I love mine I say solid 7.5 rating. I had a Silverado and I say very poor build quality and inside was a bunch of hard plastic. 4.5. My f150 was a solid 7.0 I had to take it to the dealership for a few fixes the first month
I like it a lot ... the only thing is that right now you can get better trucks for the same price . If you want an off-road truck but for care about anything else get a tundra trd pro. If you want a nice exterior but don’t care about interior looks get a Chevy trail boss. Ford and ram are bit more we’ll balance in my opinion... the interior ram in the best by far the, but the exterior it’s ok but it has good options...
To me the ram is the most well balanced between off-road and every day driving.. very comfortable
Who is really towing 12 to 13 thousand pounds in a 1500 chassis. Personally that is too risky for me as someone who regularly tows between 6 to 8 thousand pounds. Just because I could doesn't mean I would with a 1500. If I'm spending the money anyways I'm already buying the 2500. So who cares that I could. Plus the majority of consumers dont tow beyond 8000 anyways if they even tow on average with a 1500. Just my thoughts as an individual who is a sales rep for all of those truck brands Chevy Ford Ram Toyota and Nissan. Ive never had a customer tell me they want a 1500 chassis to tow over 11 grand. They always point to a 2500. And for good reason. It's very risky to tow something that heavy and not at least use a 5th wheel. Which I wouldnt do on a 1500 because that would be stupid. You need a heavier chassis to counter the potential for trailer sway. That said, I love that Titan. Fantastic and it does have the industry best standard warranty. 5 yr 100k miles bumper to bumper. I love all trucks, but towing over 12 grand in a 1500 is scary. Low and slow
