You're excellent at being thorough. Thank you for not being biased and creating quality reviews where you don't have preconceived hatred for a particular brand or model. This video makes me happy I subscribed.
You do your homework and you deliver the information about vehicles in a professional, educational, and plesent presentation. That's why you're my favorite vehicle reviewer. Keep up the good work.
Wow, Alex... awesome review (again)! You really did your homework. So many details I will definitely have to watch this two or three times! But I'm NOT complaining. Other reviews (while entertaining) do not provide any facts to support their recommendations, and learn too much traditional (bias) thinking. You have just earned yourself another subscriber. Thanks
Wow! Great video, thanks Alex. I had a 2014 Ram 1500 Eco Diesel and sadly at 76000 kms it spun a rod bearing. Chrysler did replace it under warranty however they only give you the remainder of the power train warranty on the new engine, so I decided to trade it in on a 2017 Titan SV 5.6. So far my wife and I love everything about the truck, much nicer than our Ram. In fact the only thing we miss about the Ram is the fuel economy.
@@luiscastillo19lc still like a rock, nothing major happened i’m doing all the services on time. Towing my boat and carrying my stuff. I Chosed XD because for the extra heavy duty work I have. Good luck.
Titans are the most underrated truck on the market and probably the best tow vehicle a in the class. Nissans tow numbers and payload numbers are real and not some BS Chevy ..Ram or Ford numbers. Silverados are made in Mexico ..Rams are foreign owned like Titans and F150s are garbage so when people say the stupid line that the Titan is foreign well so are the others except the f150 but again its a POG.
I think the F150 and Silverado Tie overall, I can't wait until they get the 10spd auto across the lineup. The Ram 1500 is the most attractive and the ecodiesel is tempting but it's lower resale and reliability put it third in my books. The Titan shares low reliability and resale but none of the good looks but I would choose it over the ancient Tundra.
awesome video 👍 we are planning on purchasing the XD Diesel in the near future and probably getting the SL package 2WD. I have a question, when do you think would be the best time to purchase one of these bad boys 🤔
rcv79 Either the end of the year or the month of march which would be the end of Nissan's fiscal year and the biggest discounts will be implemented to hit their numbers.
I'd really like to hear about "manumatic" operation in the reviews. Will it hold a gear or is it temporary, or is it only a limitation in how tall the gear is, etc. For example, Mazda's gear selection mode seems to be only a suggestion, Subaru CVT manual mode stays put and holds but is slower to change, toyota's and honda's is more like old-time D--2-1). I use manual mode a lot: anticipating hills, controlling excessive shifting, and engine braking/descent, it means a lot to my buying decisions.
Ram actually has the best warranty. Ram Chrysler and Jeep have the Life time warranty 999,999 miles/ 999 months although you do have to pay extra for that warranty. but if you plan on keeping you car for a long time def worth it. it covers a lot of parts.
Richard Benquechea Ram sucks ass im a auto tech are Heavy line tech had to pull heads off a older ram 4.7l cause the idiot overheated it and blew a head gasket and piston 7 and 8 are bad
Specs make this a colossal failure out the gate. You can have this truck at just shy of $60k with the mini-cummins and 550ft/lbs, or spend a couple grand more for the real cummins in the Ram 2500 with a manual, laramie trim, and 900ft/lbs. This thing is a waste of time unless the diesel came in at $45k
Well a comparable RAM 2500 to this model would be just over $71,000 in MSRP. The base XD is $8,000 less than a comparable RAM 2500 and the delta grows as you add options. While there are good deals on the RAM, you can bet that similar deals at Nissan will keep the delta at that $8-10K delta.
+Alex on Autos Nope. Just priced out the 2500 Laramie at $61.5k while the Titan comes in right over $55K without any options other than the diesel added, so that would likely go up. So for an extra $6.5K you could get the manual that no other truck in it's class offers along with a massive power and reliability advantage with a tried and true powertrain opposed to this new to market unit riding on the cummins name. If you want this truck in the diesel and overlook the Ram I think you'd be selling yourself short, likely for the sake of brand loyalty.
As I said, comparable models. The Titan XD Crew cab starts at $40,290 with the diesel, the 2-door with the 8 foot bed will be less. I'm not sure where you're seeing $55K as a base price, a fully loaded Titan XD doesn't go any higher than about $61K. The Laramie is comparable to either the S or SV trim of the Nissan. The diesel S trim is 40,290 and the diesel SV is 44,060 which are both notably below the RAM before you consider the much longer bumper to bumper warranty on the Nissan. I love me some RAM trucks, I'd probably buy a RAM 1500 ecodiesel if I were shopping but the Nissan is still going to be less expensive than a diesel RAM 2500.
Thanks for the vid. Very informative. But I take issue w you (and other reviewers) touting fords weight savings. If u look at the numbers, and granted, it's very difficult to compare models in trucks, the ford trucks are very slightly less heavy than a GM. As many have pointed out...ford weight savings only brought them in line of the weight of a comparable GM. Stop drinking the ford kool-aid. Here's a comparison www.caranddriver.com/comparisons/2015-ford-f-150-platinum-35l-ecoboost-4wd-supercrew-page-5
The Nissan Titan is shaping up to be a huge sales flop. This year, they have sold less than 8500 trucks, or just over 1000 a month. The laggards in the class, Tundra and Sierra, sell over 10k a month.
1. I don't see much of a difference in the XD and this truck. If people don't like the XD, they won't like this either. 2. If you are selling Cummins diesel pickups in the U.S., and you can't move more than 1000 a month, that's a huge red flag. Houston, we've got a problem.
Man I never seen a better review and comparison of these vehicles, wonderful job Sir, keep the videos coming, thanks for the info.

Great review 👍 and the split is awesome. This is the best video and I've looked at over 50. Sold!!! Buying one next year. I will say Alex sent me 😉
Outstanding review Alex. You should be a salesman, you certainly broke it down very well. Love your reviews, thank you sir.

Wow, more info than even the manufacturers can drum up on their own trucks. Very well put together video and added to my Favs. New sub here.
Very good, detailed review & comparison. One of the most helpful videos I found in researching the Titan.
Now that's how you do a car review! Best I've ever seen! Thank you sir! By the way, the Titan is the top pick overall. Beast of a truck!
One of the best review videos i have ever seen
I just love my Nissan Titan XD gas version.
4 years later hows your titan? Im asking because im planning to buy one
@@luiscastillo19lc still like a rock, nothing major happened i’m doing all the services on time. Towing my boat and carrying my stuff. I Chosed XD because for the extra heavy duty work I have. Good luck.
Awesome video as always loving the new intro! 😅
Absolutely outstanding unbiased review that was very informative and to the point.
Best review I've seen yet keep up the good work
I am stuck between the Titan and the Ram too
My friend loves this truck, and he loves no cars or truck since we sell cars as a full time hobby. so one day I would love to buy it for him.
I hope nissan puts Apple car play and android auto on these trucks to make it even better and more competitive

Please review the 2017 Colorado with the new v-6 engine & 8-speed automatic trans.
you are professional. Very good video.

Will you be revisiting the 2017 Colorado? I'm looking at that and the regular Titan
can you review the mercedes gls
Thank You, Alex!
When will you review the Ford Taurus ?
I live my pro4x 2918 titan. I drove the ram and ford and Chevy. This was cheaper and drove better.
Could you please review the 2016 or 2017 Chevy Malibu, and when it comes out, the 2017 Lincoln Continental?
So excited to see what Alex thinks of the Continental.
No, the gas-only Malibu. And for the Continental, the 3.0 TTV6.
What about interior materials
Alex, please reconsider the intro audio. Its ear piercing.
It is a bit jarring. I'm not sure it's really helping create a professional vibe for the intro, imo.
At 11:06 you called it a Tundra
Perfect Nissan.
when will you do a review on ford raptor?

2. If you are selling Cummins diesel pickups in the U.S., and you can't move more than 1000 a month, that's a huge red flag. Houston, we've got a problem.
Nissan TitanWarrior i seen them frequently in Texas
How come diesels carry less weight than gas, but can tow more?
HDaviator the extra weight of the diesel motor takes away the carrying amount off of the load capacity.
Diesels weigh more, and have more pulling power.
The quality and thoroughness of these old reviews were excellent. Your newer vids suck compared to this.
That intro again! Make it stop! Aaaaaarrrgh!
+Mgoblagulkablong it polled well on facebook so we're giving it a whirl for a few months and then we'll collect more facebook feedback :)
I hope the trolls aren't the ones that polled, but please stop using that awful intro
could this be polled on a broader scale? I do not have Facebook, I know i'm the minority but the sound is not appealing to me.
I like the intro takes me back to when I was a kid
...Good job....how about Ram Power Wagon 6.4 ..4x4..next time....;---)..........
Towing a 12,000 pound RV trailer would be excempt on your drivers lic.
Title video says 2016
+ahereticanthem thanks for catching that!
plz also create video for vans like transit and metris . how do they stack against main stream family minivan?
thank you ford for bringing back the 09 F150, thanks!
