I own a 2018 XD King Cab and my decision to buy it was the 2,500 lb payload. I tow a 38’ Keystone Outback that is nose heavy at 1,400 lbs. I now have almost 50,000 miles on the XD and have had zero issues with it. The most underrated truck in the market.
I love Nissan Titans,owned a 2005 bought it with 191000 miles and sold it with 318000 is was still driving really good,i own 2004 now with 326000 miles and is my work truck pulling a 6x12 enclosed trailer with equipment
Love it
You went backwards bro bro lol
I have a 2020 XD pro4x. Excellent truck! Zero defects!!
Titan is absolutely the most underrated truck on the market and sadly will probably be discontinued. I actually blame the consumers who ignorance on this truck and also believing that buying one of the big 2 was actually helping America. Yes I said big 2 because Ram is a foreign owned brand and is absolutely not an American company.
Titan and Tundra have just as much if not more American made content then any other brand truck.
Doesn't help that it's ugly as f$ck.

I'm on my 3rd Titan. 1st XD though. Handles my Skidloader and trailer weighing over 13,000 easy...also my 22' livestock trailer.....and way more reliable
2021 Nissan Titan XD SV Crew Cab 4X4!
This is the one I'd buy no question 👍
Pretty cool - but rougher... Like a Power Wagon version of a Titan, perhaps.
Wow Ben! What fancy leather shoes you’re wearing today!!! Those are something you would wear to a wedding….🤔😝
Lol😆
So great!
I am considering a 1/2 ton truck and I am not loyal to any brand and I think they all make good trucks. I want a truck to tow a small camper (3,500 lb GVWR); however, I may get a larger camper with a 7,000 lb GVWR at some point. I would like a truck with about an 11,000 pound tow capacity. Equally important, I would like a truck that has at least 1,800 to 2,000 lbs of payload so that I have the capacity for a topper and a bed slide to carry camping gear for full-time living on the road. Many 1/2 tons are low on payload given my needs. I think the Titan XD would be an excellent choice. My only reservation is its size! But, that is the price given the capabilities that I want. Ben, another great video!
Not worth it the titan XD is a weak ass HD truck the big 3 have almost identical payload as the Nissan Titan XD but the f-150 has 3,000 pounds of payload. Ram 2500 with the 6.4 or a F-250 with the 7.3 is a better choice for you and both will outperform the Nissan Titan XD in capabilities by a huge margin.
You can definitely achieve that payload range and more in a half ton. Example some F-150 supercrews in ford forums can get north of 2,600 while mine only is 1,500. What will boil down to is the trim and amenities that will take a hit on payload. That’s where I messed up lol
As far as the Titan XD… ehhhh. I think there’s newer options/ better options at this point.
@@7thkev519 which f150 has 3000#’s of payload???? Maybe bumping 2000#, that’s it though.
To the op, the XD will do fine for your application, if your hesitant, get a 3/4 ton ram with gas engine.
Also remember, the 5 year 100,000 mile bumper to bumper warranty on the Titan and XD.
No other truck is even close on that.
@@7thkev519 agreed that the Big 3 have more capable gasers than the Nissan, but I don’t need that much capability. We currently have a Casita 17 Freedom Deluxe camper that weighs 2,900 lbs (loaded). The largest camper we will ever own is 24 feet long and has a GVWR of 7,000 lbs. I don’t need a full blown 3/4 ton truck. The Nissan would be more than enough. However, that Ford F-250 Tremor with the 7.3L Godzilla V8 would be sweet!
@@arod7130 I do not need a fancy trim level truck. In terms of the Ford, I would opt for an XL with the STX package. I also don’t need/want the SuperCrew cab. I am fine with the SuperCab. I want a 6’ truck bed for camping gear. Despite liking V8s, I am impressed with the Ford F-150 PowerBoost with the Pro Power 7.2kw on-board generator. I would be interested in comparing the payload of the XL V8 vs. the XL PowerBoost with the Pro Power 7.2 kw generator. I don’t think the PowerBoost engine is currently available in the SuperCab, though. I am hoping the PowerBoost and Pro Power options will be more available across the F-150 line in 2023. I also like the new Tundra, but payload will be less on the Toyota than the Ford.
Mine pulls my 9800 lb 36' camper like nothing. I got the cummins though. And once I spent about 2k to get rid of all the emissions garbage that had me in the shop every 2 months, it screams like I never would have imagined and feels like a Mustang GT on the highway. I didnt know a diesel could be so fast. Especially a small one pulling around an 8000 lb truck.
Those diesels seem to have great tuning potential. I surprised people don't talk more about them.
@@sparks2429 yeah its ridiculously fast now and I only have the 60HP on(plus whatever the hardware delete put back to the tires) There's no need whatsoever to do the 120 and I'm not even going to try it. It already gets away from me once in a while when I push the pedal a bit too hard.
We have a ‘17 F-150 SCREW short bed and it’s horrible pulling our 30’ TT. Even with tons of mods the truck sways like crazy in the wind. We’ve been looking at 3/4 ton diesels but this truck looks like a great middle ground.
@@jjsemperfi yeah and I learned that the hard way too with a 2012 F150 to pull this camper. Thats why I bought this truck. Its not about how much power or springs you have.....its about How Heavy is the truck pulling said trailer. Because the huge size of those campers puts so much wind resistance on them that you need something a couple thousand more pounds to hold it down. Power and enhancements are great, but it all comes down to the weight. And the length of a truck plays a big role too.
My f150 had enough power but was roughly 5500 lbs I think. This beast is about 7800, so it won't let that trailer have nearly the effect on your drive. Plus it can hold about 1500 lbs more on the truck itself than the F150 so you can have a bunch of other stuff in the bed making it more stable of a ride with just the truck weight being over 10k lbs. Shorter trucks like what you have compounds that trouble trouble too. That trailer has more leverage on your short truck than one like this which is I want to say at least 18" longer than my Ford crew was. I never drove my Ford over 60 mph when I was pulling because yeah, it threw it around and my knuckles were clenching hard. So we only camped close to home for the first couple of months until I got this one. I honestly don't feel much different with or without the 9800 pound trailer behind me with this one, other than the muffler is much louder and the fuel stations want me to come on by twice as much as usual.
Hey, I have a titan xd Cummins engine as well. Would you please tell me more about what you get rid off when you say emissions garbage?
I own a 2018 Titan Pro4x. It's a great truck. Love the V8.
Yep! I love my pro 4x!!
NISSAN most underrated truck in America! I Love my Cummins pro4x
I love my 2019 titan pro4x. Super underrated trucks
My 2015 pro-4x has been fantastic
@@duvilopez7992
Go away Ford or Chevy guy your machanic is calling and your truck is ready at the shop lmao.
I love my ‘19 XD. Pulls my 33’ TT with no problems. As a company though, they make some stupid choices. The XD is more than a typical 1/2 ton so why skate the 1/2-3/4 ton line? They should have just went all-in with full floating axles, a Nissan built diesel, and a dually option (have you seen the one Z1 Off-road built for SEMA).
Scared money never wins!!
Agreed man, I own the XD Titan and a 2021 ram Dually high output. I wish Nissan just moves forward and builds a true 3500. They cry about Toyota sales but do something that Toyota didn’t do. They need the right people to make decisions like they did when they built the GTR, fastest car under $100k
@easttexasengineering3489 Toyota??? Toyota went backwards. They no longer offer a V8. But guess what..Nissan Titan does.
I agree, put the 8 lug floating rear axle and hubs from the NV3500 and a UD diesel engine.
…and yet, the f250 has 8 bolts, and the towing is only 12,500 and payload max of 2,500lbs, on the version that most people would buy, and that is 4 x 4 with crew cab. Get the F250 with the diesel motor, sure the towing goes up but the payload on most configurations drops below 2000 pounds. Ticked.
My Titan has 2,200lbs payload, and 11,200lbs towing.
Underrated truck
What was the payload on this model? Sorry if i missed it in the video. Thanks.
Nissan built a big truck my brother loves Nissan titans it's beautiful truck
They should have put the quick step on both sides. The rear bumper step is really nice on trucks
Can I order the Nissan TITAN XD ALREADY LIFTED LIKE 3" OR 6" IM still trying to decide... Or is this all aftermarket stuff? Thanks!
To answer the titular question: yes.
The only Titan if you want a crew cab and a full length bed.
Recently picked up the same model (21 XD SV) in a different color. I was a little surprised by the recommendation for premium gas. Does any else use 93 grade?
My brother has one and I understand from 2021+ on the trucks the ECU is designed to give you an option: 390 hp on regular fuel 400 hp on premium.
I tow 12,600 total weight gooseneck with mine. Love the truck and yes, it’s a heavy duty truck.. not a 3500 but a mild 2500 or maybe like a 2000.!!! Best truck for the money when compared options and build for the price. I got mine with $10,000 off using sams club.
How did you do that?
yet an F150 will tow more?????
my biggest problem with this truck is the small gas tank, 26 gals. needs a 36-40 gal tank to be a viable towing truck. Seems Nissan dont really care though.
Shit, my ‘17 F150 has a 23 gallon tank. It’s horrible.
I bought a 48-gallon "Titan Tank" for my XD. That solved the range issue. Even at 10 mpg, that is 480-miles of towing.
@@JamesMcGillis Where from?
@@JamesMcGillis where did you get that tank from?
I bought the truck with the aftermarket Titan tank. Even while towing I have to stop to Pee before needing to stop for fuel
10 ply tires, bilstein shocks, not the best ride, empty. But, does it ever tow well! Does a excellant job towing a travel trailer. The tow mode along with the 9 speed tranny does very well.
What's the part number for those step rails? I want some like that. Still not enough to convince me to trade in my 2017 Titan SV.
Nissan should scrap the titan xd and just make a Titan XD package (payload and towing increases) for the regular Titan. This would be a smarter move.
Edit: my point was to say that if Nissan could make some changes to make their trucks more competitive, such as the ones I listed to create an XD heavy duty towing/payload package, and yes I know about the dimensional differences of frames between the two titans, then they would drive interest/sales/profits then discontinue the XD truck, this saving cost. The big 3 have packages like this especially Ford. It would suit Nissan well. I also think they should kinda make the titan like a Frankenstein truck, even more so since they are behind in releases and updates, taking ideas and success from others and adding them into one truck.
It's on a different frame.
I agree. If they would have just marketed it as legit tow package it would have made much more sense.
It's not just a bigger leaf spring and tow mirrors. There's a ton of stuff on it that is totally different than the regular titan. I personally think they should just make the titan and a 3/4 ton titan. They wouldn't have much to change to make it a 3/4 ton, and a lot to gain including some buyers from domestic trucks.
@@fewworddotrick i agree with you. They would also need another engine at that point, but the problem is most people ars stuck in their big 3 mindset and would be unwilling to try it so the sales still wouldn't be there.
@@barchie9757 nissan needs to make their own diesel and not try to ride on the coattails of rams success. That would likely also drive cost down because they already manufacture diesels for other countries. They could make one hell of a pickup if they decided to do it.
I like your reviews but my conclusion is the opposite. You get the XD or if you dont need the extra payload/capacity, you get a Pathfinder (or an Armada).
At 753 red truck about to smash white truck he definitely would need that new titan
These trucks are nice, I had a 2019, problem I've seen and read many also online have is the paint is very thin. I had rust and bubbling where the front window met the top pillar the area above the driver grab handle.
I love Nissan Titan or Titan XD and Toyota Tundra. I'm sure compare to Nissan Titan and Toyota Tundra.
Love my 2021 pro 4x titan. I test drove the xd pro 4x and loved it also and you could tell a difference between the two.
Why did you choose the pro4x over the xd?
@@dynasty2295 you can also buy a pro4x XD. I chose regular because it rides smoother, a little quicker, little better gas mileage being lighter on a different frame, and I don't need the extra towing capacity. If I got it for the same price I would have still chose XD though.
I chose the same, only reason I took the regular is I just didn't need the size trucks s I don't tow so much anymore.
They are awesome trucks but sadly will probably be discontinued and I blame the uniformed consumer.
I love my 2017 P4X XD
How much for lifting a truck
sold my 2016 diesel. 4 months of never-ending issues. Nissan dealers were terrible. 45k miles
The 2017s and 2019s are the only two that are good.
Thats a beautiful truck.
Seriously looked into these trucks recently. Thought about trading in my Silverado 3500 on this as it's way over kill for what I use it for and the Titan would be perfect. Couple issues I have with it. The 26 gallon gas tank is ridiculous for a truck that's made to tow. Secondly, a truck this price should not have halogen headlights and no fog lights. That just screams cheap to me. This isn't an entry level truck.
Mike- Regardless will outlast your Chevy...
The SV is a pretty basic trim for Nissan though hence the halogen bulbs.
@@pacman1789 Headlight bulbs are a very easy, quick upgrade. Nice LED's can be had for under $70. Yep, a slight added expense, but small stuff compared to the "value" of this tuck. Will do work many people buy 3/4 tons for and will be a little less expensive for overall ownership lifetime. Overall, I think it is a worth wild option in today's truck market.
@@pacman1789 The MSRP on this truck he reviews is more than my 2021 Silverado 3500 was. A few important things to me that my Silverado has that the Titan doesn't is 36 gallon gas tank, LED headlights and fog lights, power folding tow mirrors, rear truck bed camera and much better back up camera, more powerful engine, and way more payload. To be clear I really like the Titan XD and if I would have done my research I would have bought one instead of my Silverado because at the time getting a slightly used Titan XD was a way better deal than it is now. Now they are too expensive to make it worth switching.
Its a truck thats more stable towing than a half ton but rides better than a 3/4 ton.
@HalfShell yes but for those who don't need the capabilities of a 3/4 ton but want the stability without the rough ride it fits the bill quite well. Ive towed my 9k enclosed trailer with my XD, an F150 and a Tundra and there is absolutely no comparison whem it comes to stability and braking performance, especially when its windy. For those of us who tow on the heavier side but don't need a 3/4 ton this XD beats a half ton everytime when it comes to handling the weight better. Sure, you can spec an f150 to tow more if you get a stripped down base model single cab 2wd XL model with no options with the max tow package, but it still dpesnt habe the stability of an XD. If they didn't have an XD I'd definitely be in a 3/4 ton. But that XD will last longer tlwing heavy than any half ton because the frame and other components come straight from a 3/4 ton van. Honestly that truck is rated well below what it could really handle. I think Nissan under rated it so it wouldn't be compared to the 3/4 tons from the big 3 because theres no way it wpuld compete with the capabilities of them. For my needs the XD fits perfectly.
You might want to consider talking much slower. I’ve missed a lot of what you had to say. It’s just it’s gibberish.
If Nissan would actually put someone who likes and drives a truck in charge of Nissan Trucks, they would actually compete. Nissan is always like 3-5 years behind. I love my Titan, but you compare my 2017 XD SV diesel with My brothers f-250 Mid range truck and he has Autolocking doors, push button unlock, automatic lights, back up camera, backup sensors. Look at the Sema Builds for Nissan, Carbon fiber trim, Plastic highlights in the interior that are Red/orange, Really Carbon Fiber, stupid lighting accents? That went out of style like 8 years ago, if you are going to light the wheel wells make sure they are actual usable rock lights not some stupid embedded led that barely lights up the wheel well, and the colored highlights, didn't Toyota try that on the Tacomas for what 1 or 2 years. And, for fucks sake make some actual usable skid plates for the XD. You want me to buy a Pro 4x, which you try to compare to something like a raptor, and then I have to hope that those crappy paper thin skid plates protect my truck. No Thanks. You have a good looking truck with bad tech choices, no after market deals or interest, and nothing to set it apart from the other brands. Why would any one buy your vehicle over an f-150/250, Tundra, Silverado 1500, Ram 1500/2500? My XD good looking, it could use better MPG but that can be said for most 4x4 full size trucks, but it lacks in basic tech and noone has ever said, I am going to make a crawler or a mud truck or an overlander, I think I will get a Nissan, because unless you are buying off the shelf one size fits all products, there is nothing available for it. Nissan XD's make good Mall Crawlers, throw some huge useless wheels and a non-existant tire on them a monster useless lift, a shitload of useless lights, paint match and you are ready to cruise the streets and malls in your area
I have a Titan XD 2018 engine was replaced at 25K and new motor now at 29K is making a lot of noise and timing is bad. Nissan said that if check engine light is not lit then nothing is wrong with it.
Waiting for lemon law to make them buy it back. Nissan dealers are horrible. Don't Buy one!
Gas or diesel?
Shocked because all my Titans never had a y problems.
Gas
I’m disappointed with Nissan customer service more than the truck.
I’m working with lemon law lawyer now.
I’ll update
@@tremendisimous
Again shocked.
It’s not heavy duty it’s extra duty 🤦🏻♂️
I feel like Ram and Nissan both need a refresh but also I will not buy a truck that is not American so Ram and Nissan are both out for me.
Hate to tell you BUT the Nissan Titan IS COMPLETELY MADE IN THE USA IN TENNESSEE. Not like ram,Chevy, ford. Completely made and FORGED in Tennessee. Know your product! It is superior totge Big Three😆🇺🇸
I bought a 2021 Titan Platinum Reserve 4x4 in April, now have 7000 miles and averaging 18-19 mpg. That’s great for a V8. Does good off road , smooth on road. Built well.
Hey Big your ignorance is showing ..
Nissan is made in America ...
Ford's are complete POS ..
Many Silverados are made in Mexico and Rams is a foreign company.
Get your facts straight lol.
Well with what Toyota has just created in the new tundra every other full-size pickup truck will be obsolete and the Toyota's will have a waiting list with down payments.
What a 3.5 twin turbo that failed miserably in the ford line up? With 10 years of consistent problems w.o solutions?
Better get that 100k warranty! I got lifetime on my Nissan
@@seanee573 That's excellent. Great thing about competition is that Nissan can and will answer with a slightly detuned gtr engine in the next Titan. I cannot wait to see it! And the new Z cruising around Santa Monica is the new standard in affordable coupes.
Hey I had an eco boost! And it was a bad ass little half ton…. But unfortunately for me I had near every problem with it that they are known for…. But I’m sure Toyota will have a way more reliable version:.. I just have to talk shit cause I bought a titan ;)
@@nenkuthao5534 From having family inside Nissan north america. Nissan will also run the V8. So it will not be going away like Toyota's did.
If you have to ask the question, the answer must be "No". When Nissan dropped the Cummins turbo-diesel, the XD became irrelevant. That was the only reason Carlos G. created it. Now he is an international criminal. Great move, Nissan.
If it’s a Nissan, it’s a piece of s&@$
I guess it is priced less because Nissan wants to sell them.
No.
I’m not sure why anyone would buy a Nissan but I guess they have a few loyal customers..🤔
Maybe the Platinum Reserve with a Cummins… but still a hard Maybe hahaha
