why the hell is everyone hating on the titan it's a good truck
Yeah, I owned a '04 Titan, and it was a very good truck. When I think back on the trucks I've owned, my two favorites are the '94 Toyota SR5, and the '04 Titan. I drive a '14 Tundra now, and it's not as fun to drive as the other two.
+Conor McGregor's Pool Noodle That doesn't really matter as they're all built in Mexico anyways. Unless you yankees vote Trump into office.
+Conor McGregor's Pool Noodle tundra is made is Texas or wherever how isn't it American ?
+Jørgen S When did Mexico annex Mississippi? Because the Titans are built there.
+Jørgen S Most American brand trucks are built in the US with a majority American parts. Only some have final assembly in Mexico, but even those trucks use parts that are mainly produced in the US.
That exhaust note was music to my ears
+Anthony Haripersaud - I love the sound of a V8 under load.
+Anthony Haripersaud I wanted to like it, but still has the same CIS sound as my 2015 Titan, seems to be a thing for Nissan I guess, something about the cams and heads from what I gather. Maybe I just have a preference to the music of a small block push rod
As a die hard Chevy owner I do have to say Nissan is stepping up their game but not only that, that truck honestly just looks so badass, just wish the towing mirrors were a little bigger
I'm with Nathan, I know the old Titans were very long in the tooth, but my old 2012 pro4x titan is still going strong. Not as nice as my buddie's ford or GM, but I trust it more than those trucks...
Great video guys! So awesome of Nissan to let you guys film in the factory. Glad to see Nissan being more transparent and open to sharing the build process. Can't wait to see what Nissan has in store for us with the 1/2 ton Titan!
You do know that anybody can take that tour through the plant right?
Loved the video guys I live in middle Tn and actually work as a Nissan Tech at the Smyrna assembly plant where we build cars and SUVs. We use to build some trucks there but they moved the truck line to Canton MS. I'm really excited about the new Titan I hope it does well. And I'm really glad there planning to build a regular cab and King cab version. I heard there gonna redo the frontier also but we will see. Keep it up guys.
+Josh Church Thank you Josh. And thanks for your hard work.
Please the Frontier needs help lol
Well, itll probably do better than the ridgeline.
Derek Ortiz at least the Ridgeline got ride of the Avalanche look even though Chevy copied the Ridgeline
Regular cab?
I'm looking forward to the next video with comparisons of both the diesel and gas trucks. But I'm also trying so hard to resist the urge to address some of the idiotic comments from others about this truck. I also grow tired of the opinion that the previous Titan didn't measure up against its competition when towing and the like. I deal in reality, not a false sense of my personal opinion of a brand that skews my view of their products. I am not a fan of any of the big three, but I will give them their props for the capable trucks that they produce, even if I personally would not buy it, so please be reasonable and respectful of Nissan for the efforts they have made in producing excellent full sized trucks from 2003 onward!
+Steven Singleton Bravo, couldn't have said it better myself. I find won't name certain brand people but their loyalty rhymes with fiord get their shirts all in a knot. I've driven all the mojor brands, they each have something to give in their own way. The previous Titan tho a bit long in the tooth is still a great truck, very capable and reliable. Cheers!
Such a good looking truck!
I'm excited to see what the half ton model does for fuel eco, since it will not have the weight of the XD's frame but still the V8. Perhaps a bit better? Great review.
this was awesome! those titans are sick!
Just noticed that the Nissan and Toyota trucks have normal engines, no start-stop, no cylinder shut-off and better warranty any ideas why big three
This was one of main reason why I bought my 18 Titan. My Dad had 5.7 Tundra. He racked up 150k on that truck before he sold it. Guess what its still running great. I think Nissans and Toyotas are best trucks out there. Not a lot bullshit options. Very dependable!
@@tattooedsailor8666 How’s that truck doin? Still rolling? Would you suggest buying one?
@@preshj0hnson Stay away from 16-18. I had to get my short block replaced due to tolerance issues. Do a search for engine knock Nissan Titan. Its common issue with these trucks. Since the replacement truck runs great! No issues at all!
I actually think Andra and Nathan done a pretty good job with the short time they had this truck.
Diesels used to be cool until epa took a shit on them best money spent will be on the gas and less mechanical issues 👍🏻
Don't know why people complaining. this is a good truck. you don't see recalls from Nissan. or any problems like a Ford. the titan is made in America and a better truck then a Chevy or Ford. enjoy your recalls.
+trent031991 Really, you sure about that? Cause I just looked and seen at least 2 open recalls for the Titan. Not to mention any names (cough!*trent*) but it sounds like someone is full of shit.
Dont forget about all the issues with that cummins turbo diesel. Egr Failures Transmission tuning issues. Cold Start issues as they dont offer a grid heater.
The trick to this truck is to find the sweet spot, which is usually 1700 rpm. I'd like to see what mileage it gets on a flat road, at that rpm. I assume it would be around 22 mpg.
That is a great sounding truck!
glad it still sounds great
I hope when they redesign the frontier it looks like a mini version of that
I am waiting on the half ton version, all I haul is Dirt Bikes and other smaller objects. I am a huge fan of Nissan products.
I wouldn't mind seeing a reg cab short bed with that engine, something sporty
Imo, the only nice looking trucks for this model year are the Sierra Denali, Silverado High Country (cause it doesn't have an ugly grill), and the Tundra
That v8 sounded good! I wonder if it sounds like that in the qx80...
Were you able to get any information on the Titan Warrior Concept if it will go into production?
+Chueyee Lee No update on this yet. :(
Really enjoy y'all's videos can we get more of your personal opinions on the vehicles? Some of us in the market really do take your recommendations seriously when making a purchase. Thanks!
the titan isn't necessarily a bad truck it's just behind the curve compared to everyone else.
And really expensive. Like overly. 5000 dollars more for base than ram 2500
Still not crazy about the XD, but the regular half-ton Titan should be great with this engine
I'll be interested to see what their "half ton" version is considering the big 3 make 1/2 tons with more towing capability than the XD and more payload than the XD diesel.
If the Pro 4X yield 18.2 MPG, I'm sure that a base model with 2WD might reach 20MPG. Its just an estimate of mine. Its a great truck. Can't wait to see the upcoming V6 configuration. For sure it must be twin-turbocharged like Ford's V6's for the F150 to handle its heft.
+Iván Maldonado We got 18.3 MPG from the trip computer in the SL 4x4 trim of the truck at 70 MPH on the highway. We will verify this when we get the truck in Colorado.
Excellent! Thanks for replying.
I swear I had heard multiple times that the XD designation was reserved for the Diesel. Is that not the case now?
I like it, good looking truck with an awesome power plant. bonus it's more American made than most of the so called American made from the big three! Nissan makes a great vehicle. Really hope they make a Turbo V6 in the future to compete with Fords ecoboost.
I wonder how this compares to the Chevy Silverado with the 5.3L V8. I need a bigger truck and I think it is down to these 2 but I need to know fuel economy.
Hello guys from TFL!, considering that the previous model of the Titan pro 4x had a lot of similarities to the Frontier pro4x, do you think the next Frontier pro 4x will follow the same paterns as before? If they do, im looking forward to the next Frontier!!!
That's pretty good mileage for how much truck you've got going down the road. What kind of tires are on it?
If Nissan makes a a short bed I'm getting one 👍🏻👍🏻
that looks shorter then the diesel
is it? +the fast lane truck
I got to say I'm impressed with this truck, I'm just interested the RAM with the air suspension. And now this, I just wonder about the reliability. I'm still considering the tundra do to the quality of that truck. I'm sorry but ford and GM just aren't that good after you own them past 6 to 7 yrs.
Unless you get the tundra 1794 edition the tundra interiors feel much lower quality than the American competitors. If you treat them right any modern vehicle is going to last a long time
+Bolds Yea Tundra is LONG overdue for a redesign. The engine is rock solid, but is thirsty. If you really want a Tundra, I'd wait a few years.
+Mr Bobby Brown Im. not brand loyal, I know that the ram is going to get a redesign in 2017 but I dont if the Ram reliability is the same as toyota.
+Dean Dubois Yea? Where's them 30+ year old Toyotas? I see old domestics all the time, and can find them still for sale in good shape. Other than the occasional 90s Honda, you don't see many or any old Japanese cars.
+Daniel Bell c'mon, that's not really a fair statement. 30 years ago there were at least 10 times as many domestic vehicles sold in the U.S. If all car were built equal, then, logically, you should still see at least 10 times as many old domestic cars. Then you have other factors like the type of imports sold back in the day. Most were small cheap four cylinder cars. and little cheap cars get out-dated pretty fast, so people just don't bother with them after 10-15 years because newer vehicles of the same type are readily available and cheap, t has nothing to do with the brand. After all, when was the last time you saw A Ford Tempo, or an 80s Chevy Cavalier, or Lumina.
Old Cars that are still on the road are there because people choose to continue to fix them.
Oh, and Dean Dubois's comment is also nonsense....and contradictory, since most Toyotas sold in the US are American Made.
nice to come here 15min after upload. It looked like a TitanXD and did not impress me much. The new f150's look crazy on the inside and all other manufacturers cant keep up --- unless they charge you a whole lot more. This Titan would have impressed me if that 2Door price of $36k was actually the base price of the 4door.
Haven't seen not a damn one of these trucks on the streets of South Florida
Kevin Simmons People in south Florida are trying too much to impress others with their Audi’s, BMW’s and Mercedes. Too many plastic materialistic people down there. That’s why I left.
nissan doesn't even know how to market their product and dont know what they built.. this engine has huge potential in the sports 370z, tuned right it can make nearly 800 n/a at 8,600 rpm. The vk56 are stupid reliable too
So, what's the mpg average?
how long is the bed?
Nice truck..
Why even bother with the diesel? This seems like a better package
The only time your gonna want V.D.
needs to be a shootout ford vs ram vs gm vs nissan. mpg, towing, drag race. lets see if nissan has moved outta last place with this new model
Titan Nismo?
sound great tho
Is there going to be a non-XD Titan?
+Sam Yes, pure half-ton 2017 Nissan Titan is coming later this calendar year. It will also have this 5.6L V8.
+The Fast Lane Truck if you get this truck to review, can you compare it to the diesel up the ike gauntlet?
+yadvinder gakhal You bet!
+The Fast Lane Truck does disel or gas get better fuel mileage
Depends on what your doing trent. If your towing all the time the diesel is the way to go. If your not towing and most daily driving the truck the best way to go is the gas
nice 2005 f150 u got there
It seems to me that the Nissan Titan XD is not as capable as it was originally marketed to be. Those payload and towing numbers can be had by the half ton trucks like the F-150, Silverado and Ram 1500. Perhaps the frame is a bit heavier and it is more controlled when towing 11000 lbs than the previously mentioned half tons, but that's just a guess. I wonder if the regular Titan that will be released later will be underachieving in its class.
That's exactly right. The Heavier Frame among other components allow the XD to tow at its max comfortably. The Other 1/2 ton gas rigs with similar "NUMBERS ON PAPER" will not tow or handle as well as the XD when they are loaded to the max. They are all great trucks, but Nissan is modest with their ratings.
The 1/2 ton Titan will not be underachieving. Even the old first gen V8/5 speed combo still holds it's own damn well compared to some of the newer offerings. Maybe not on paper, but in the real world.
Anthony But Well, all I can say is we shall see. It's too early to tell how either Titan will hold up against the competition, but it will be interesting to say the least.
Why does the exhaust sound like a Subaru?
Not that thats bad, but it just took me by surprise.
nice video
city/hwy MPG?
they needa make a reg cab
Let's see a head to head with ford , Chevy, and Dodge against this truck.
Don't forget toyota
+Trevor C no real need. They'll all do the same things. It's just a matter of preference.
+joenissan exactly; roll the dice and pick one.
The new Titan had grown on me and that's hard to say because I will never drive anything besides the GM twins
Am I the only one that thinks that Toyota NEEDS to step up their gameI love Toyota but Toyota needs to come up with new innovations for the pickup market
0-60?
pretty damn cool
Do you prefer it to the Ford F-150 Plantinum & Toyota Tundra?
Both
Tundra is and will always be better than a ford/nissan
+Trevor C Except in poor IIHS safety testing, Ford remains King with Aluminum body.
+Trevor C Maybe in your head. In the real world it barely competes.
+Daniel Bell in the real world all the trucks do more or less the same things. It's all brand preference. Everyone wants to throw around words like "not competitive" when in reality they all do the same things. Only real knock against the Tundra is the fuel economy when compared to the others. Otherwise, how is it objectively not competitive to anything else? Sure, Ram or GMC might have nicer interiors, an F150 might offer more configurations and engine choices. Doesn't team at the end of the day they don't all do the same things for the owners. Brand preference will always fuel truck sales. Not perceived fanboy competitiveness.
Yes.
I like it, but they should have met the standards of the kings of the market Ford and GM.
Dude, your truck has VD! LOL
So what's the mpg??
Emilio computer said 18.2
How about resetting the MPG gauge to see what mileage we get? GREAT IDEA!!!!!!! Really, guys? Jesus.
+Larry Smith This is a first drive. How many other reviewers provided a real-world MPG number for the new gas V8?
Just because every other quasi-journo on CZcams is an idiot doesn't make you guys MENSA members.
It looks like a Ford/RAM to me, with maybe a hint of Chevy in there somewhere. It just doesn't seem all that original to me. But what the hell do I know?
+lance ripplinger It's different where it counts though; under the hood and between the frame rails....I guess some guys buy trucks just for looks, but that seems silly to me.
Love this truck, but it's brand new and the center stack already looks outdated. :(
Love the evolution of that 5.6L engine, but I'll keep my 2004 Titan for now. With only 26,000 miles on it, I don't think I'll wear it out soon.
Wow that's low miles! Did you buy it recently?
No, I bought it new in October 2004. The reason that the miles are so low is that I only use it to haul dirt bikes every other weekend.
+Mike Frey oh cool! The 2015 Titans are exactly the same and they are giving them away cheap for like $28,000 for a week equipped 4wd.
+Mike Frey So, you spent, what, $25-30,000 on a truck to drive 4 days a month? Am I understanding you right? You know you could find a nice used truck online for less than $10,000, even back in 04.
+Daniel Bell - Yes, but that wasn't the plan and it's a long story... My brothers and nephews had gotten into off road bikes at that time, and I was getting BACK into the same, since my kids were grown up and headed off to college (I hadn't been riding for 18 years). I really thought I'd put 10,000+ miles a year on it. I got a company car for work, so I was driving that on weekdays and I still had 2 other cars to drive - so the miles got divided between 4 vehicles and 2 street legal bikes (for a couple years, I had 5 cars). And then everyone started riding their street bikes instead. ...The truck sat a lot. No regrets. I used it when I needed a truck, the rest of the fleet was more fun to drive. Now I am finally driving the Titan more since I cut back to just that and my Infiniti G37x. Still have all the bikes, though.
"Nice used trucks" were in high demand in 2004 - that's what I was going to buy, but $10,000 would have bought a very used F-150 with over 100,000 miles on it. 4x4 extended cab Chevys and Fords with less than 50,000 miles were in the $20,000+ range. I seriously considered a 1st gen Tundra with 120,000 miles for $17,000, but new won out when the '04 Titans were heavily discounted as the 2005s came out. Even back then, I was fully familiar with shopping nationwide - I live in farm country PA and spend time in farm country CA, and there wasn't much difference in prices left coast vs right coast. I also traveled a lot (usually by plane) and southern state prices were about the same. Any farther north places you into the snow belt, and although most trucks will easily go 200,000 miles, rust was an issue long before accumulated mileage was. My Nissan Hardbody KCab 4x4 was pushing 150,000 miles but was badly rusted, although the engine was great.
sounded like a great truck until I heard it wasn't a half-ton. Sorry but if its classified as a heavy-duty truck then they missed the bar cause the tundra hits harder and it is a half-ton.
+Trenton Archer Nissan will sell a 2017 Titan half-ton later this year. We will test the Titan 1500 when we have a chance.
+The Fast Lane Truck what happened to cheap trucks. We got our 02 ram 1500 for less than 20000 brand new. The modern version is about 37500.
i agree
Well some guys I enjoyed it
Think I would prefer the gas over diesel. Unless you tow all the time, it's not worth the extra money to go diesel.
I should mention I have a 2008 Titan, and it's still great. The old truck has plenty of capability for my needs... if I go new eventually, probably just go for the regular Titan 1/2 ton.
The XD front end is 3" longer than the regular Titan 1/2 ton
Still no moonroof and power folding mirrors.........
Its amazing how much it looks like a Ford
Trying to justify buying a full size truck... Hmm
Just buy a Silverado if you want a 1/2 ton they are really cheap right now they have great deals on 2015 left overs. If you want a small pickup that's has get a Toyota Tacoma but if you want a diesel buy a Chevy Colorado Duramax.
@@connerbutler1077chevy sucks azz
there probably losing about 30% of customers who prefer a reg cab
Rest info. Thanks. I don't want a diesel.
You need to take the 2017 Ford Super Duty up the IKE Gauntlet (when it comes out).
you need gas cistern behind for this pickup
Huh??
Tundra hasn't really innovated body style in 10 years. It's the Honda of the truck world 😉
What? Look at a 2016 Honda Civic compared to a 2006.
Nice sounding exhaust, but that front end is ugly as sin! I'd still take any of the big 3 or a Toyota over it.
hahaha no shit specially if they knew i drive a chevy but i wont lie if nissan makes that warrior concept ill shut my mouth that thing is badass
5:46 Maximum payload for that huge truck is 2,500 pounds while the F-150 with a 5.0L V8 can pull 3,300 pounds. And the weight difference is about 2,000 pounds different (the Titan XD is heavier). And the F-150's 2.7L turbocharged V6 can pull 2,200!
+Big Juicy Fart comeon that 3,300 lbs is with a Regular cab with HD package. I'm sure the regular cab XD will be more than what the Ford will handle!
I compared it to the F150. What is more comparable is the F350 (non-dually), which is still lighter than it, but has a payload of 4,200 pounds with the gas engine.
Uh, payload is how much weight you can haul IN THE BED. I think you have payload & towing mixed up!
Yeah... Payload: 4,200
Towing: 12,300 pounds

What?!
I prefer the gas Titan forget disel.
At 70MPH I get 26MPG on my 2011 M56
+russianbear54 Nice car. Of course it gets better mileage than the Titan. I have a G37x and a Titan.
Direct injection? Can someone say CARBON BUILDUP? no thank you
+777 Lukasz This is Fords problem and they're trying to hide it, carbon build up on the Turbos. Whooops. Most new truck and cars are now coming with direct injection. Fords problem so I read is, turbos too close to the injectors, causing failures. Big surprise here. The 5.0 is the only way to go when looking at the 150
+777 Lukasz Infiniti has been using a version of this engine and 7 speed transmission since 2011.
+777 Lukasz That's only common on VW. Besides it can be remedied with running seafoam in each tank of gas and using the spray. Besides newer engines might have a second set of fuel injectors to help with carbon build up.
Ratkill9000 Like John G said, Nissans been using this engine for a while. This seems to be a problem with Vw and Ford, as of now. But your right about the second set of injectors to combat this problem. I am not sure if this engine does have (2nd) set or not. I can't wait to take a half ton for a drive though. Drove the Cummins and was impressed. Not Hp wise but you could feel it was smooth. Cheers
You should actually be measuring the consumption of fuel, not trusting the onboard trip computers. What a horrible looking truck...
The 2016 5.7 Hemi has 5 more hp and 9 more lb-ft of torque.
Sir Brellin Ok.
i think its ugly but its just my opinion
It is, looks like they took parts off all other brands of trucks and just glued this together
+os opz looks very similar to a 2012 F150
+Jesus Monarrez Geezus, you say that on a Ford flip over repair daily site and people flip out! :)
Doubt Nissan "flew you out there"
+mtwilliams2 Why do you doubt this?
+The Fast Lane Truck Nissan don't make airplanes
You're right. Nissan paid for the flight, arranged for the flight and arranged for our transportation from the airport.
Boy you really like picking fly shit from pepper, don't you?
Diesels are for old boring people who care nothing about performance and fun, I'll take that 5.6 gas engine anyday!
depends on what your doing to define the performance, that diesel will out perform gas when it comes to towing.
Trenton Archer And towing is fun?
+ZepG Performance wise diesel engine wins hands down.
This is not truck related but you do know that it have race cars that have diesel engines right?
Uh huh...🙄
I didn't know a v8 could sound like rice
+Leonardo Mateos I didn't even know rice had a sound quality‼️
+Leonardo Mateos It doesn't
+Leonardo Mateos It doesn't sound like rice at all. Under load, it actually sounds pretty damn good.
Will somebody please tell me what rice sounds like⁉️😳😳😳
+MrKeyboardCommando Crack, Snapple, Pop!
I like the interior and drive train but its just UGLY!
Too bad this truck look terrible
That is one ugly truck!
I like Nissan, but when i have a family, i would never buy one. Nissan cars are NOT safe.
Why are they not safe
+Rc Wins low crash ratings.
+CrazyFastRapper Is that by fact or opinion?
Sydney Paillet Fact, their crash rating are bad
CrazyFastRapper Well my Nissan hardbody is 1996 so anything 90s is bad so whats you're point?
CHEVY CHEVY CHEVY!
xD
Looks like Nissan stole an F150 and rebadged the truck with Nissan badges.
yeah but the new f 150s don't look like that anymore
Kinda like how Ford stole Aston Martins grill and so on and so on.
Ford owned Aston Martin so
This truck looks terrible
