I just bought a 2019 pro4x XD. Love it. And I just have to tell u Sam...I remember watching this video before I made my final decision. So thanks to u my friend! ⏩ 3 weeks still loving it and started to make it my own. Started my own Channel showing my different choices of products. Thanks again for doing what u do!!
Good review. I drive a Cayenne Red SL and have been very happy with it. Have 6000 miles on it and it has been a very nice truck. Thanks!!
I came back just to re-watch your hilarious reaction to the abysmal acceleration at 7:45.
Literally, one of your best (unintentional) reactions ever, Sam.
He's not driving a Camaro ZL1. Get one of those or a Shelby GT500 if you want to go fast.
Very professional, unbiased review Sam, the looks are beginning to grow on me.
you prolly dont give a shit but does someone know a tool to log back into an instagram account??
I stupidly lost my login password. I appreciate any assistance you can offer me

Great review. For a diesel to get just 15 MPG is totally unacceptable. Especially paying so much more for the Diesel engine.
I’d get the 5.6 V8.
I just found you on youtube, great reviews!
I've so much wanted Nissan to get into the game, and this Titan does it well. I am a big fan of Cummins, and Nissan does resonate clearly in my family for their cars. Though Honda and Toyota has been preferred as of late, this Titan, and the new GT-R have me excited in the brand that is Nissan. Living literary only a few miles away from the Smyrna Plant. It is nice to know Nissan is turning out some great vehicles.
i wish they would come out with a crew cab long bed dually to and a true hd to compete with the rest of the fleet. i not saying get rid of the xd just make it more capable.
Good review, and thanks for sharing the personal story about your Nissan selling experience. It is the people we meet - even if briefly - who make the biggest impressions on us throughout life.
Lol! I got out of that Fairfield dealership alive and went to Vacaville to buy my first Nissan. The Fairfield Nissan was truly run by creeps.
I enjoyed your post video comment. I, as well, had 2 Datsun vehicles in my lifetime. The first of which was bought at least 6 months before I was able to drive at the tender age of 16 a four door 69 Datsun 510. I had the 510 decked out with a webber carb ( no air filter) and some nice tires and easily go over 100mph(lol). Later I had a '79 280z that the body rusted out on but both vehicles had strong engines that I cant say I didn't abuse but they wouldn't give up. Fond memories of both.
keltheb oh yea I’ve owned a 510 Coupe, that I raised with longer struts with HD shocks. I drove the hell out here f that little car! I scared s lot of friends too! There was this abandoned factory down in the next town, with a 4’ loading dock near a rail head. I used to rally round the area, drive up the ramp onto the loading dock, then actually drive off the dock into a bunch of weeds! That car was indestructible!! But was the last good Datsun/Nissan I have owned. I had a Hardbody Truck that was a rust disaster! It lasted about 7 years before the bed actually fell off! I sold it at a loss and bought a 2003 Dodge Dakota reg Cab 4x4, V8 5 speed I drove in all the same areas and beaches, I owned for 11 great trouble free years after that. But the wife and I have owned Chevy Silverados, Avalanche and now the best truck I’ve ever owned, a 2916 Colorado Z71,4x4AWD,V6 Ext Cab, we Tow a 3,990 lbs travel trailer full time now that we’re both retired. On a Cat Scale the CHVW is up to 9,870 lbs, Truck, trailer, full tank and all the water and stuff we both need. We averaged 15 mpg on this last 4,000+ leg of our trip from Florida to Texas Hill Country, Colorado Mountains and down to Louisiana. Plus at times o hauled my motorcycle also with the trailer! Just cruising along it gets 27 hyw 18 city! It’s the best I’ve owned so far! But we are getting a bigger trailer in a couple months. So we plan on get a new full sized truck. Maybe a HD, Ram I like , Chevy she likes. So probably the Chevy. I want to find s great deal in a 2018, Z71 6.2 if I can find one after the 2019 is released. Or an LTZ 5.3, 4x4AWD, with the HD Towing Package, that com s with the 9.5” rear with 3:73 gears. I like the2500 Ram Laramie 4x4AWD Cummins with a standard trans and Iff Road Package myself.
why doesn't Nissan offer a sunroof option in the new Titan?
good review. currently looking going back and fourth with a salesman on an XD. Not sure if you touched on it (I may have zoned out) but that removable cup holder drives me up a wall. Also, the tow mirrors are tiny compared to the big 3. I love the mirrors on my gmc 2500. overall good job on the review, great to hear what it's like to actually live with it.
I've had a Titan XD since it came out. Silly me. It has a few quirks that need to ironed out but overall it has been a very solid truck and is serving me well. I won't replace it until Nissan fixes issues like power, undersized fuel tank, undersized DEF tank, poor drainage holes in the wiper wells, a difference between speedometer and cruise control values, (2km difference), poor quality trailer wire harness connection, better quality Mirrors, (difficult to pull out and in, no heat on the bottom mirror), Better designed plastic seat trim, (especially around the bottom of the driver seat which causes premature tears in the side of the seat material.) A more efficient heating system for the DEF. (Nissan has already replaced my entire DEF system because of freezing issues. And just for kickers, a better designed method of displaying vehicle information instead of the scroll thru menu that currently exists. Like perhaps an option to use the map display so show multiple functions instead of having to scroll through one at a time. ( It's a real pain in the ash.)
I own the new Titan xd and a new Tundra. The Titan beats the Tundra hands down. The Titan also out tows the Tundra. At 75 mph, In the Tundra, hang on! It's not a pleasant experience. The frame has a ton of flex and it just feels loose. The Titan is a world apart. Tight, great towing power and tows straight. The Tundra is much faster off the line.
Lol. "the dope on the DEF..." you crack me up! Great vid. Thank you.
Good review Sam...question..you refer to the truck as being a pre-production model...what affect does that have on your "I would buy it rating"? Any major differences in the truck you drove vs an actual production one? Keep up the great job.
+xTouragx Thank you. No difference in this case really. Pre-production here simply means it rolled off the line one of the first dozen or so vehicles, well before they went on sale. It's the same as production in spec.
I like your review even is different than others.
Nissan Titan XD has problems with driveshaft. The problem is caused by a "resonance frequency" that occurs at speeds above 75 mph. Vibrations caused by a condition that occurs in the power train systems at speeds above 75 mph and continued operation causes the transmission and driveshaft components to fracture. The problem is unnoticeable until it causes damages and the truck quits moving while driving.
Lol. "Heavier Doodier" I see what you did there.
Great video, very informative, thank you.
How’s it going Man. Great video. So, I’m from the Bay Area. I’m eyeing this 2016 Titan XD SV with the Cummins engine. What’s your take on the truck now in 2022? I just want your professional take before I pull the trigger on buying used. Looking forward. Thanks man either way.
Hey, did you buy the Titan xd diesel? I’m thinking of buying one. Wondering if it’s worth it? Thanks..
@@CountryLivingOnTheFarm Nooo man I did not. I’ve heard great things about the new Titans, but I Toyota has such a great reputation, then and now. Had to go Tundra CrewMax, and I love it. Hope your search goes well Brother.
@@creamthebarber I agree, Toyota has an excellent reputation! Have you heard anything bad about the 2016 Titan diesel? I’m trying to make up my mind here if I should go for it or pass…
@@CountryLivingOnTheFarm Only thing about is that the year 2016 was the first year they rolled out with the Cummins engine, I believe. So, the 2016 models may have some bugs and kinks. They probably figured those out in 2017 and on. That’s pretty much it. The 2019 models and up have Toyota transmissions, just an fyi.
Nice review
hey Sam in your experience with the titan xd, did you have transmission issues or hard shifting ... i purchased a xd / cummings ... having hard shifts .... plz respond thanks
The Aisin six-speed unit in this truck is tuned pretty tight. Automatic transmissions in HD trucks typically do shift harder and tighter as a rule. In our tests we did feel this. If it is more however than you feel normal, you should have your dealer advise.
I had a ram 2014 cummings...i would say it was ruff shifting .... but i guess this truck being a nissan and a 5/8 ton made me expect a better feel .... i came out of a tundra ... not 1 issue ...3 rd visit to dealer today with the xd
Thank you for responding love your channel
@@nomaam9797 I've had some issues with coming to a stop and getting a thump. Nissan has tried tuning it a couple of times with some success. Another issue is the shift point at 60 KMpH. Because of the speed limit, it tends to use more fuel than it should. Them's the hazards of automatic transmissions i guess.
When comparing, you should also compare to Ram. More of those being bought than Tundras.
Brent Virginia Beach more Rams sitting on the side of the interstate.
Fuel tank is only 25.8 gallons. Don't know what they were thinking.
From a towing perspective over long distance it really sux. My solution is a 100gal tank in the back and another 50gal tank for DEF. Too bad there's no room left for beer and lawn chairs.
What a beautiful truck. Nissan outdid themselves on this one It's too bad, it took them so long to do a makeover. I'm also sad they discontinued the Xterra, which I currently drive and love. IMO DEF, is garbage, not needed and really a ploy to make money off consumers. I don't think they use it in Europe as far as I know and they have tons of diesels as well as places like Australia, NewZealand etc.
one day you will be minee(nissan xd)
Funny, I always thought Titan XD was a 3.0 Turbo Diesel.
The v8 gas engine will knock off approx 3 secs 0 to 60
Queen Valley?
Close
I wonder how reliable that engine will be down the road with all the emissions equipment choking it to death. Its hard to swallow a new diesel with how unreliable they have become now.
They've been used in school buses etc for a few years now.
+Mike Hawk Different setup, but close.
School buses doesn't have to abide by new emission guidelines
15 mpg o.O ?? even Tundra can get 15 mpg
+Ara J its 2k pounds heavier and tows about as much more
+Ara J depends where you live. road conditions may vary on MPG for all cars/truck so on. i bought one last week i get about 25MPG plus Diesel is less expensive then unleaded gas .
just delete def...
Ugh
This Titan is so dumb. All ACTUAL diesel people will disown the shit out of this wannabe diesel truck.
Jordan Dunn what makes it a wannabe? It’s a good truck. I’d take a ram or a F-250 but this truck isn’t a wannabe it does exactly what it’s suppose to.
My truck tuns on piss and diesel
Holy crap that thing is slow.
+gmax876 It's a truck not a race car
C Steele Neither is my Tundra but at least I get to enjoy the acceleration.
gmax876 It's also doesn't have a diesel. Next!
i was about to say the same thing no comparing diesel with gas .. i bought a xd my self cause of the engine durability! of towing for a long time not for a short time
the gasser 5.6 apparently is quite fast. This Cummins will need Gale Banks I believe. This and a gas 3/4ton are on my list for towing tractor and bushhog though.
WTF drives 60mph?!!!
My old dodge cummins gets me 18mpg all the time running around town what a joke
15 mpg from a diesel engine?! I mean really?? lol
+kagolko nonesense! it's a 5.0 cummins that can tow 12,314 lbs! A Ford F150 or any other 1/2 ton will never get any better milage towing at their max weight!
Delete all the emissions bullshit, and you'll probably get much more than 15 mpg.
+Mel Laknanurak I know it's diesel so mpg doesn't matter lol
+kagolko I bought one i get 25 MPG on highway. plus Diesel is Way less expensive.
The mpg in diesels get better once u get the motor broken in.
junk
Well yeah, it's a diesel.
Why is it junk?
310hp from a 5L! in a 7700 lb truck.. The ram ecodiesel has 240 from 3L in a 5800lb truck. Nissan is sloooow. Unacceptable for a 65k truck!
Mpg sucks because its 7700lb which is inline with 3/4 tons not half tons... eco diesel gets 30+
for a light duty truck that tows 5 to 10k lbs the eco diesel is king.
...until your cams slip and fail the engine.
