Only folks who say they are unreliable are the folks who’ve never owned one. Mine is deleted and tuned, I abuse it daily, towed up to 16k easily with it and tow often, and no issues other than a leaky oil filter…. These trucks are badass. Only issue is sourcing parts if anything ever does go wrong.
The thing is, most people that complain about having unreliable vehicles never maintained them in the first place. There are only three concerns with the cummins 5.0 1. Emissions equipment. The SCR, CAT, DPF, DEF, and EGR kill performance of the truck. Delete that trash and it will run like a different beast 2. Bosch CP4 fuel pump, they are known to fail from bad gas. Simply run hotshots fuel additive and it will never give you a problem. 3. Wastegate actuator. It's electric and is the only actual known problem. There are ways around it.
@@vetwaytransportation they also don’t have any aftermarket support really, so although the engine sounds fucking amazing and in theory would be a great truck, it’s an absolute shit show

@@KDlGG dude shut that shit up, they don’t have any more problems than the big 3 do, I own one, it’s got 60k miles of towing a 10k lb camper and other shit. Tuned and deleted and no issue. The problem was people like you that doesn’t own one spouting off false shit
This truck (Nissan Titan) has been discontinued after the 2024 MY because of pathetic low sales under 20,000 units compared to Toyota and the Big3! This truck even with the diesel was a vast underrated truck that can perform with its old school approach and reliable reputation, but Nissan didn't do enough marketing for this beast, but the Armada SUV is still in the game as well as the Infinity QX80 snd the smaller Frontier! A decent 20 year run for the mighty Titan.
No, they were discontinued because like the guy who posted the video, nobody even knew they existed. They were dropped from a lack of sales. They weren't the most impressive trucks, but they were actually really reliable.
Hi, its me again. I just got my DOT and MC numbers. I was thinking of renting a Kaufman wedge for $350 a week until buckeye finish building my trailer. Do you think this is a good idea? Is there anything I should be concerned about. If I go this route, I want to be completely prepared. I don't want to purchase the insurance policy which is about $4,000 the first month while every month after is $2,000; then ended up shut down by the authorities because some small detail was missed. Any advice?
That’s roughly $5600 +/- in trailer rental fees. Just something to think about since your trailer won’t be ready until January. You can definitely make up that cost in one vehicle depending on how far your running and how long you stay out.
Yeah I drove one it really. Reminds me of a 2005 6.0 psd. No offense of Cummins but honestly Nissan could have done better I wasn’t impressed the v8 yes
Hello how are you I am also starting the car hauling business 3 cars I'm waiting for my trailer by buck eye to be finish in January do you have any information that will help me in the future?
Always take pictures. Keep your finances in order what looks like a lot of money isn’t when it comes to repairs. Have a back up plan. Stay ahead of your maintenance. Keep the proper tools on deck for energy maintenance. Keep your back office in order as well such as taxes, invoices and fuel receipts etc..

Lol raced one of these with my 03 6.0 and ate it up his truck also started smoking and had had to pull off the highway I was turned off at that point liked them before that fact
They are not the inline 6 cummins as people would believe. Not a 5.9 or 6.7. They are a 5 liter v8 cummins that nissan specifically requested for the titans to compete with light duty diesel. As a shop owner, and industrial maintenance technician at nissan north America in smyrna Tennessee, I can legitimately tell you They are junk. Severely under powered and plagued with emissions issues.
@@vetwaytransportationthey weren'r discontinued because of problems. They were dropped because most people didn't know it existed. In other words lack of sales. I heard the only represented 1% of diesel truck sales in North America.
@@vetwaytransportation I think they're like when international brought out the Maxx force based off the cat engine when cat quit making road engines. Epic fail 😆
@SupramanTRD wouldn't consider a V8 a midsized engine. That's what ford uses for super duty. Dodge uses a 4cyl diesel for midsized engine on sprinter vans.
Nissan is more American than Buick nowadays. Been that way.
Wow..
That’s crazy talk
The Cummer tranny can't get parts for it. 😅
Fun fact, American cars are made in other countries, foreign cars are made in the U.S.A. lol
Been doing it mannnn

The Cummins 5.0 has a similar sound to the 6.0 powerstroke if you delete it
You’re right because I have one. I love the sound of that truck
It's alot more reliable than any powerstroke 6.0
No it doesn’t. The Cummins actually started 😂😂😂
My 2018 190000 miles not problems at all really good work truck.
Maybe you guys just have bad luck.

It’s a 5.0 V8 brother.. they don’t make em anymore tho. Not after 2019
That one is a 2019
Damn I didn’t know it was a 5.0 either. I assumed all were 6.7 now aside from the ones in semi trucks.
Last year was 2019. Had turbo issues and like most modern diesels emissions were choking the life from the engine.
Your stupid cause I had a 2018 with a Cummings

Unfortunately not anymore...
I see. I hear they were trash
It’s a 5 liter with only 1000 more pounds of towing capacity than the v8. Also the engine has a bunch of problems.
They have 5.0 v8 cummins which are actually just problematic things that aren’t even produced anymore I don’t think.
Yea I’ve heard they’re pieces of crap. Maybe that’s why you don’t see many rolling around.
You're right, my dad bought one brand new and the engine failed under warranty. My dad now wants to sell it after 4 years of ownership

@@vetwaytransportationyou don't see them because nobody knew about them. They were simply overshadowed by the big three.
@@SupramanTRD not my experience, I knew quite a few people who had them or had to work on them. They all hated them.

Everyone else here appears to think otherwise lol

Nissan and dodge word together to make the Nissan titan xd
Lol. Literally have a Nissan Titan XD that I loaded today (still on trailer) and learned this same thing
Lol we live and we learn brother 👑
Bro, it’s a small Cummins motor
Yea I hear they’re not very good.
Yeah I drove one it really. Reminds me of a 2005 6.0 psd. No offense of Cummins but honestly Nissan could have done better I wasn’t impressed the v8 yes
It's emissions equipment that killed it. Delete the trash and you have a solid truck. No different than the larger diesels
Yoo that’s awesome
Yeah but they're v8 Cummins, it's called a titan XD
Hmm…
Where have you been. Lol
On Mars apparently lol

Not an inline 6 Cummins tho
True..
Lol raced one of these with my 03 6.0 and ate it up his truck also started smoking and had had to pull off the highway I was turned off at that point liked them before that fact
Lol that’s funny. I actually have an 06 6.0. I love it
Every diesel owner I know says this ones trash
I’ve noticed the same
Still more reliable than any Ford diesel.
Can't go wrong (in my opinion). They probably tried to make one in house and it sucked.
They’re made like that from factory is what I hear. I don’t think they did very well.
They have jeep's with them too!
No way!!!
Those are VM MOTORI.
That’s a ecodiesel it’s not a Cummins..
They only did it for a few years . 2019 was last year. They just got into deisel game too late and not many people want them.
They are not the inline 6 cummins as people would believe. Not a 5.9 or 6.7.

Could always remove said emissions equipment
I have a 2019 Ram 3500
It was a V8 I believe, not nearly as good or as much tourque as the inline 6
Yea that’s what I heard. They sound awesome. I wish they didn’t have such bad design I’d buy one.
@@vetwaytransportation I think they're like when international brought out the Maxx force based off the cat engine when cat quit making road engines. Epic fail 😆
That is correct, but this truck is not a 2500 or 3500. It's basically a 1500HD. It needed a midsize engine
@SupramanTRD wouldn't consider a V8 a midsized engine. That's what ford uses for super duty. Dodge uses a 4cyl diesel for midsized engine on sprinter vans.
The 5.0 CUMMINs is a complete waste of space I’ve never seen one that DIDNT have a money light on.
😳😩
Yup I own one they are nice after they are deleted like this one
I just got one a month ago looking to delete and tune but i can get my hands on any programs. Where could i get one at?
They don’t
They did
Not a true Cummins
What makes it untrue?
They are junk don’t ever buy the 5.0 Cummins
Unfortunate they have so many problems
Yea that’s what I hear. Sad because they seem like they could be cool to drive.
It's not a Cummins. Real Cummins is inclined 6 cylinder
🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️ it’s literally made by Cummins ya Bufoon
Only Dodge Rams have the real Cummins motors...
Yea they tried it with these but apparently they didn’t last long.
Ram 1500's use VM Motori diesels (garbage). This is not as good as a cummins I6, but it's better than the ecodiesel 3.0
