2017 Nissan Titan 5.6 - Redline: Review

- čas přidán 7. 10. 2017
- After a long wait, Nissan finally gives the full-size Titan the redesign it needed to compete with the heavy hitting American competitors. With standard V8 power for now, in your face exterior looks, and competitive tow and payload capacities, the latest Titan sounds quite promising on paper. Although some interior features and safety tech still lag behind rivals.

5 yr 100,000 mile bumper to bumper warranty hard to beat! Should be mentioned as a major selling point.
What a relief, Nissan didn't put a cvt in this one... Yet.
Jimmy Peña Hahahaha imagine putting a cvt in a truck lol
Dont jinx it man, Nissan will put a cvt in anything. My Qashqai has one and it does weird things when you don't expect it.
All RWD cars from Nissan Motor Co. could not use CVT
My '17 Titan has been rock solid in reliability. The CVT is what keeps me from buying an Altima or Sentra as a daily driver.
@@robertmorris5938 buy infiniti same quality maybe a little better
As the former owner of a 2008 Titan... This looks world's better and more refined than mine ever did
Contrary to popular opinion, I like how this truck looks
FirstThirtyMinutes Ohhhh Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay! 💁🏼♂️
It’s pretty edgy.
FirstThirtyMinutes I came for the daunk review
Love your videos
have you seen raptor f150. even better
Bro you want hard touch plastic as much as possible. Its more durable and easier to clean. Soft touch with tear and fade much quicker
Instablaster
Well sometimes having soft touch is difficult to clean! Overtime can suffer from wear and tear as you mentioned! My 14 charger has a lot of soft touch and overtime it peeled off the color from the oils from your hands over the years
I drive one of these as a work truck and it is phenomenal. My favorite part, it never tells me to put my seatbelt on!!
Lol
I literally just said this to my gf lmao
How it holding up?
@@Rocket9944 not sure, I no longer work for that company. But while I did drive it it sure was fun
@@Onefourtyfour , I bought one last weekend used in showroom condition, I never noticed until you mentioned it that it doesn't tell you to put on the seat belt.
Thanks for pointing out the drawbacks in audiophile tech. You’re the first one to point that out.
I'm glad you did a video on a pickup truck because I'm gonna get one so this definitely helps
You are the only person I want to see review a gt350, please review one for us!! Your loyal fans.
Loved the review as usual! Do you plan on doing the V6? Take care!
Honestly it looks really nice and manly unlike the Chevy Silverado
ImASavage ah yes. Nothings more manly than driving around in a Japanese truck that’s all chromed our
@Andrew Smith Designed not manufactured, HUUUUGE difference.
I cannot wait for this ride.
Good review, thank you!
Couldn't agree more about the stereo look. I replaced it with a Pioneer NEX almost immediately. Otherwise I've had it for almost 2 years now and it's my favorite truck I've owned.
I've had mine for 6 months. Off the lot I got a great deal. I was all set to get a Ram but Titan was a better deal. Truck has really grown on me over past couple months. Overall very happy!
How's it holding up I may buy one this weekend.
Nissan doesn't change the key fob because there is nothing wrong with it lol,
Exactly! I hope they never change it
Clous von true that there’s nothing technically wrong with it but it just looks cheap and dated
Who buys a car based on the key fob?
a lot of people actually,
To be honest, the range on their key fobs could be waaaay better..
Good review sir, seems like a solid reliable truck
Just got a little more than usual and the best pictures of the same thing as a good reminder that are in my favorite moments of the same time in history of the price range and then the other one of the last time
I don't care too much about driver assistance tech. Anyone who needs those should stay off their phones while driving and or go back to driving school. Reviewers keep complaining about all these features like driver assistance tech and apple car play and android auto. These are more reasons why car manufacturers will charge $3000 for an infotainment system plus $2500 for driver assistance tech when we should be using our own human instinct and pay attention. A good map graphics and decent radio is all the essentials we need. We focus more on the wants than our needs then complain about skyrocketing prices. You already spend $800 on a new smartphone and want it in your cars again? Just bluetooth your phone and use your phone's map which is usually better than vehicle's gps maps anyways.
I agree but the sad part is despite those automated features like blindspot monitoring people still drive like crap. I was cut off by a BMW 5 Series and the funny thing is I could see the triangle light in the mirror of the BMW lighting up but the driver couldn't lol.
I use to it said that just like you, but i bought a brand new car and it came with the blind spot monitoring and rear cross traffic alert, i was like i dont need this to drive(and its still true) but i cant ignore the fact that blind spot monitoring actaully saved me a few times, as small as my car theres huge blind spots and also when a car is speeding up to me really fast on the side the mirror will light up when they are wayyyyyy back just to warn me they are coming up.
Nobody NEEDS any of that tech any more than anybody NEEDS ABS brakes or power windows. The tech isn't necessary, but a lot of it makes driving a lot easier, more enjoyable and more manageable, especially in a huge vehicle like a pick up trucl
I agree but a built in gps could be useful when cell phone service gets a bit sketchy
Stevorn Richards hey if it can save a life or 2 i think its worth it
FYI: You said V8 VK56DE engine...i think the 2017 and up have the VK56VD (more hp and better mpg).
Nice video !
The tech kills it for me to. Great review thanks
Wonder when they will update the Frontier. Had a 17 rental a few weeks ago and felt like a time warp as far as features and cluster gauge etc. I enjoy most of the reviews. Keep up the good work.
Fernie Lopez I said the same about the ranger and saw a new one the other day so maybe it’ll just pop up like the ranger did lmao.
I was just at Nissan dealership a couple days ago and the sales guy said the new Frontier is coming for 2019. I still love the current Frontier. It hasn't gotten too big and too expensive like the newer midsize competition, plus it's still just as capable as them and offers more torque. I almost bought a 2017 Pro4x because they are priced really nice, but I decided to keep driving my pos 2005 Colorado for now.
D LG my dad just got a 2015 frontier after coming from a 2011 Tacoma, in all honesty the Tacoma felt like a much better truck. But they're more expensive so he went for the frontier
Lukas I hope your dad got a big wallet a little more money can get you a long ways in the car buying industry.
Hi, thanks for a fantastic show. I would like to ask a favour please, can you please invest in a 3 axis gimbal please. I always get queasy when you walk around the vehicle. Keep up the great work mate. 👍🏻🖖🏻
You need the high beams to be halogen because the high intensity LED lights just drop off at a certain point and the halogen improves visibility distance greatly
Here in Vancouver, Canada. All the dealers are offering Titan SV Midnight Edition with $15g discount. MSRP is just over 60g CAD and they are selling them for 45g CAD.
yes I get it, the Ts interior doesn't compare to a Rams but I like a bit of luxury and off road features and that's exactly what you get with the pro4x.
Nice blue color. I love it. If it wasn't so much I would get it and add the 5th wheel hitch in the truck bed.
@9:03 WTF? nissan's version? NISSAN was the first to bring to the market 360 aka birds eye view. smh.
talking about changes, do you think Mazda will show a new gen 3 and 6 at NAIAS 2018? for models 2019..?
@19:16...you may want to check your specs again. My 2017 Titan 1/2 ton Pro-4x has hydraulic power steering with a power pump steering pulley.
Can you do more ram and ford truck reviews. Chevy/GMC are fine but would like to see you touch base on all brands of truck.
Guy his haulin’ ass on that side road at 55+ mph in 25. Good for him!
i rented one in Las Vegas,i loved it.
You can get the heated and cooled seats on other trims
nice looking truck, dealers are offering 12k off sticker too..
HotShotVQ35 which dealer? 😎
Yeah, my dad got a 2017 Nissan Titan SV for about that much off
Just bought a 2017 single can work truck, I would like a comment on how much weight can it hold
Engine VK56DE? Or VK56VD with variable valve timing
Nissan is a pretty underrated truck maker.
... the frontier and thats it.
That's because they make an underwhelming truck.
It's bc they have poor quality according to researchers like Consumer Reports
love my Titan I can tell you all about it!!
No driver assistance tech? I want one now!
JoshCraver9000 Exactly how I think!
Got the 2020 and love it . The BIG 3 are not all of that and the insane prices .
Where you get your intro music? I like it.
I love mine!
Honestly, the head units in a lot of vehicles have so many problems, My Qashqai is very picky about which bluetooth on which phone its going to work with. Being able to change it out with a pioneer head unit would be nice, but these dash integrated head units make things so difficult. No standard connectors for steering wheel control also means you need a harness adapter wired in so your new stereo can talk to your cars original electronics.
I find these integrated styled head units a problem and unnecessarily difficult to replace.
My 2016 XD has blind spot monitoring. It was a late availability item.
To be honest, nissan always does this. They put something good together and keep half of their old dated crap in it. I do know some people personally that have had titans and drove the piss out of them without issues, reassuring they are reliable and work well, but they are boring. I actually am interested in a pro4x but I think buying one of these a year old with low miles will be a really good deal with the warranty and price should be much more appropriate.
Did you say later this year??? News Flash most Vlogs already did 2018 Titan model!
Nissan rules the world!
Retro Nissan patrol is the best Nissan I've ever seen.
so another 12 years for the Gen 3 Titan?
LOVE THAT TRUCK😍😍😍😘😘😘
it kind of looks like a f150 but the headlights are different 😊
why is the tailgate have a stainless steel cover? it's blinding for the person behind at night
true.
No idea, but then historically they have always had it in the form of a "sticker" .
No one is being blinded by that at night....
Ram and f150 had a baby. What v6 will they use?
Congrats to Nissan for building a beautiful truck in America!
I’m so early 😂 this 360p is making me wish I had glasses lol.
Hope Nissan considers putting it's new 300 and 400hp 3.0 tt engines as options in the new Titan.
J Kav nah, it doesn’t need a turbo. It needs that 5.6
J Kav those engines have awful service intervals. Wouldn't work in this vehicle.
Raptor 450
Wasn't sure about the reliability. Good to know.
J Kav The 5.6 has more torque.
Akhil Bolla
Yes but at a higher rpm
Car and driver got it to 60mph in 6.4 itll actually give GM 6.2L engine a run for its money. TFL actually raced them and the titan wins 2 of 3 times.
At the least Nissan was smart and didn't put their CVT transmission in this Titan. I hate the hard on that manufacturers have now for CVT units. My Mom's Sentra has it and it makes sense for a run of the mill compact car because it allows the engine to rev low on the highway but that rubber banding feel of it is just weird.
No diesel this time? 😫😭
Sure is nice.
and hope ti doesn't look the same for the next 12 years I wouldn't mind having the tundra cause of the cost to repair them
its partial hydr... steering sir
Just how much tech do you need in a truck?
I agree wholeheartedly, a good sounding stereo for long drives and bluetooth for the occasional call is more than enough. Even nav isn't necessary because the cheapest smartphone has google maps which is updated daily and doesn't need a trip back to the dealer and half a kidney to update.
Might be the odd one here, but I think any tech that helps prevent a crash, is just as important as the 3point belt and air bags.
Right it's a truck treat it like a truck
Nice truck han
That thing sounds MEAN. However, why are the stock exhaust tips so ugly? Why don't these trucks include nice double-walled chrome tips? How much extra could that possibly add?
Well I bought a 2017 Nissan Titan PRO4X in white....and its much nicer and is alot tougher looking then this model. Mine has the luxury package that gives it all the options of the Reserve, Good thing I dont rely on internet meatheads when Im deciding on buying a vehicle. Ive had nothing but compliments and positive feedback from the countless people that ask me about the truck.This thing is a beast ..lots of power and torque with a great exhaust tone. Car and Driver has it at 6.4 sec 0 to 60 and 1/4 mile at 15.2 ...thats damn quick for a truck. If anybody looking to buy a Titan wants realworld opinions and not internet bullshit...just ask.
I just bought the SV Crew Cab and love it! I also had an 04 Titan. I could care less about Navigation and safety features, but the Truck drives great and I love the Warranty!
What made you go with the Titan over say an F-150. I’m considering the F-150, the Toyota Tundra, and this truck. The Ram’s are nice, however I’ve just seen a lot of reliability issues with them.
@@aviator1228 The price. I drove a F-150 company vehicle and it was ok. I owned 2 Titans and they were reliable. I Al's owned a Tundra, but traded it after I got a company vehicle. Test drive all of them before deciding.
ModernMuscleCar how do you find the back seat space in the crew cab? I’ve got a Tundra now and obviously the back seat room and cab size is massive. I was looking at new F150 or anther Tundra for that factor. But really like the new Titan as well but it seems like cab space is a bit smaller? Everything else looks great
Shit, im looking to buy a new titan it has to have a 4×4 currently driving an 18 dodge works great just want something different. Any recomendations?
I wonder how long it'll take for them to make the new frontier, juke and Z
12 years
It's the VK56VD
i wish buy this monster car
2,000 pounds lighter than the XD??? Cot damn it Elizabeth!
Those chicken nuggets though.
Smaller chassis frame
I like the way this truck looks, but other than that and the Cummins engine in the XD, I don’t see much of a reason to choose this over other trucks.
they're hoping they can be like toyota and cash in on perceived reliability and build quality.
VK56VD, VK56DE was the older version in the older titan.
are you going to make anymore redline top 5 likes and dislikes
Hello from California.
hello from Italy
I smoked a 2018 6.2 GMC Sierra and 2016 5.3 Silverado. Nissan Titan is hella fast. Don’t listen to this guy, this truck is really torquie
Why do u think more gear equals better performance
Mahin Ahmed If it has more gears, it will shift faster meaning better acceleration. However not all transmissions are the same. Fiat with their 9-speed definitely shows what a bad transmission is.
Joshua Johnson
I see..thnx m8
Science
Not only what Double JJ said, but it also allows the engine to stay in it's powerband too.
So to be honest, I like the LOOK of the truck. I capitalized that because that's where my love for this thing ends. I have a 2011 Toyota tundra and on the inside, it still tops the interior of this titan (And Toyota interiors are seriously outdated) It too has no safety features. To be honest though I'd give this truck a shot. Sure it's hard to compete against companies like Ram, Ford and GM, but it seems to be a worthy contender. As for now, I'm hoping to get my hands on an F150, im seriously just in love with ford interiors and that sync is flawless. Either way, good job Nissan! You are slowly inching closer to the premium division and moving out of cheap rental car territory. Word of advice: kill the infitini line and do like Honda, focus on your CORE brand. I see Honda cutting out Acura someday. I truly do
i agree with most of your thoughts. however your name suggest a passion for music that may mimic mine. with that said, the sound system in the f150 is garbage. I need them to address this, even the "premium" option by Sony just don't do it. Nissan offers a phosgate system and it sounds pretty damn good. much better than the ford and the bose in the gm trucks.
lovemyfam why should they ace the Infiniti brand? They push performance and luxury through Infiniti and are getting more recognition in the world more like Lexus is. Infiniti will be another second great Japanese luxury Marque. As for Acura, I'm not sure what Honda is doing with it. It's more similar to what GM does with Buick. Acura is more of a premium brand rather than a luxury brand.
nickname: the beast
Why don’t you set up a meeting with the Nissan designers and make this truck better, cause your an expert it sounds like
Titans are bad ass my friend flipped on 6 times down a hill without a seatbelt and survived
E LOZ Global Whoa, can we just take a minute to look at what you just wrote? Where’s the punctuation? Where’s the god damn COMMAS?? Oh lord Jesus help me.
My question is who counted the flips?
i dont worry about it too much haha since i dont need to type or write on a regular basis.
i did i was driving behind him he slid off a hill flipping the titan he was thrown out of the car be fore he was rag dolled in their the window was open
I would NOT recommend buying a Nissan Titan. They still have a lot of issues to work out as it is a fairly new truck.
1. It is rated below average in residual value from ALG.
2. It is rated below average in performance from J.D. Power.
3. It is ranked among the worst values by consumer reports.
4. I worked with someone who got one and it was a disaster. Almost right away he noticed an odd noise from the motor that slowly became loud enough to be annoying. He took the truck in 4 times and they were not able to do anything about it. Another issue he had was with the two strips in the bottom of the truck. They are places to position tie downs and can slide them back and fourth for best position. The problem is that dirt and gravel gets in them, gets stuck and makes them a pain in the butt to clean out. There were two places were those tracks got a slight bend in them from hauling heavy objects which meant the tie downs would not slide all the way. It is just a really bad design. Those tracks WILL get fouled up it is only a matter of time. Why they have not done away with them is goofy. The dependability is an issue with these trucks. After around 1 to 2 years small things begin breaking or going wrong with them. The center console design is nice, but the cheap thin plastic used in the Titan is VERY cheap. All other trucks center consoles are made better, thicker, tougher. Drive one for a week and you see pretty fast that the parts in the console are probably going to begin breaking fairly soon. It's just hard touch thin plastic. The beds in this truck are fairly small compared to the other trucks as well.
When a Nissan Frontier feels like a grown up but still realizes that you’re a Nissan.
#Notification Squad xd I came in at 10 minutes after so i get hd
why does he keep bringing up the ecoboost f150 and not the v8
because the ecoboost is the bread and butter for F150
He said they give discounts on these trucks--why is that?
have to give discounts to penetrate the market, all truck makers do, the only way that can get away with not is Toyota.
what city in Tennessee did you guys film?
The truck is assembled in Tennessee. Nissan's Titan demo fleet all have TN tags.
I still have a soft spot for the F150 tho :)
fuck off
Brian Gay LMAO you're so lame
The "Imports" have always had better choices by that I mean limiting all the if you get this model you get this but not this etc. Something I have always hated about the domestics. More choice does not make for better trucks or cars. I bought a new Titan am pretty happy with it, in the half ton segment. Why I picked it, was more power than the two trucks I was looking at Gm/Ford the locker on the Pro4x model. The ford rides harsh and didn't care for there lack luster interiors, the 5.0 is nice tho. the Gmc is better looking but it's low and was no fun to drive. The ride is fantastic. What I don't like, No Apple Car play/Android auto. A big fail here. Something I will replace when the warranty kicks out. Dislike the V8 logo on the fenders, but slowly growing on me as is the front. The Led's help. Though I think they could have done a bit better in the front fascia design, it is growing on me. The interior is quality and you can tell. I also don't like the "P" rated General Grabbers I got with it and was the first thing I turfed at delivery for an "E" rated tire. It improved the handling five fold. Plus's are the around view monitor (luxury package) the Auto window down, under seat storage in the rear. For me the sunroof wasn't a deal killer. It's nice but as I've got older the less I like the sun directly on me. Great all around truck.
yeah the domestics have always had piss poor packages. I like the route toyota is going, by making safety features standard at every trim level.
D Jay T I think Honda and Nissan have done so as well. As time progresses I see domestic loyalty way down, sure they still hold loyalty in their truck segment but are getting killed on small suvs and cars. I think as time passes and generations move along truck loyalty will soon fade.
Just a year later and it looks seriously dated already. Wow.
I hope the 2019 Titan really ups their game. Ram, of all trucks, has, and has done so superbly. Exited to see what the others will offer.
If grand theft auto 5 had a f150 in the game it would be this truck
Reliability rating?
Good in V8, poor in Cummins Diesel
2019 560 Z.
Remember when the Titan first launched, the Americans were resting on their laurels, Nissan stirred up the market and got it rolling again. Always good to remember.

There's only one engine?!
Can you please review the 2018 tundra 1784 Edition
lol, that crappy remote is over 10 years old. good review! Engine is nice.
Vk56vd same one in the m56 old titan had the de
The only difference is the direct injection and few changes in the piston configuration
#MeToo styling !!!
Honestly im probably gonna do an engine swap on my 370z and but use the Nissan VK56 V8 over the GM LS, wanna keep it all Nissan.
That’s the dumbest shit I’ve ever heard
if you need a truck i think you should just buy a 90s or early 2000s truck
