What is it like to own a Nissan Titan ? (Year 3)
Vložit
- čas přidán 31. 03. 2020
- April 2017 we decided to trade in our 2012 Nissan Frontier Pro4x for the 2017 Nissan Titan Pro4x. We decided to lease the truck for the lower price per month to have it in the driveway. Would we lease again? Would we own the second generation Titan again? How did the Titan tow?
Dave and Kelly discuss the good and bad about having this truck in our driveway for three years.

Underrated trucks, not sure why they don’t get the respect they deserve
Because people are busy with celebrating Toyota GM Ford and forget and ignore these gem of Nissan cars and they have wrong opinion about Nissan as bad cars due to propoganda, hence Nissan cars dont get respect which they deserve.
Anyway Nissan gets respect from those who have experienced thier quality and durability.
I can tell you that Nissan's reputation for transmission failure kept me away from the 1st Gen Titans when I was shopping pick-ups a few years back. It's only been within the last month that I've begun to find reliable and consistent vouching for the integrity of the transmissions. Both the Gen 1 and Gen 2 are good looking trucks but I never felt I could trust the Titan or Armada.
We have a 2021 Titan Pro4X and just finished a 2193 mile vacation. We got 18.7 MPG, 100 plus degrees temps, AC running, suitcases for 4, 2 ice chests, 2 large packages of Costco water bottles, beach supplies. Boise, Las Vegas, San Diego, Disneyland, Universal Studios, Reno (Hot August Nights 2021) and home. Excellent ride!
My son says his Titan out tows his the Ram. He’s had them both and prfers the Titan
I have just purchased a 2019 nissan titan sv 4x4. I use a truck for hunting and fishing. Going through the woods. Not worryed about the paint issue. Because it will be scratched. If the truck holds up that is what I care about.
Great video man! Have an 18 pro4x and love the power. The only knock is the paint as you mentioned.
Glad it was overall a good experience. Cant wait for the 2021 Frontier!
We really cant complain.. We enjoyed this truck for 3 years..
I've had my 2021 pro4x for almost a year . I'm luven it today as much as the day I bought it.
Just bought the SV 4x4! I can’t wait to get it!!
Love my Dad's 2018 pro 4x. I'm lusting for a 2020 so bad!

Don't you loose money from leasing a vehicle? And what new vehicle are you going to get after turning in your truck?
Sad day for sure! That is a nice truck and with all the resources Nissan threw at it I was surprised at the sales figures, I figured more people would have jumped into it and it would have outsold the outdated Tundra! Paint on my Taco is poor as well, easily chipped and I don't think it will hold up over the years. I plan on a lot of washing and waxing. My 2008 Dakota had a thicker stronger paint job it seemed. Life is an adventure and this is just one page in the Nissan Nation Podcast! Looking forward to the future!
Seal it and put a thick coat of caranuba on it and it should be okay.
Great videos. I've seen a few of your videos already and I would love to see a bit higher production value. Some times its just really hard to hear you and just crazy wind noise in the mic. Thats the only thing that takes away from the great content you provide. Keep up the good work!
This channel has moved to @allterrainnation where we review all makes but we agree we were green back then
It's shocking how underrated this truck is and how overrated the frontier is
Do they still make a frontier.
William Wilkin yep saw it at the carshow and I don’t see the point of even owning one. Doesn’t get good gas mileage and it’s not practical for anything
I don't consider the Frontier overrated, I've owned one for 14 years. It's been a 'great' midsize truck...
Rumesh Lance YHE frontier is right behind toyota Tacoma’s but the problem is people don’t know the Titan is also right behind the tundra,
@@janierios1194 I sure hope so
I have owned 3 Nissan Trucks
1986= 260000 miles replaced clutch
20008 = 340000 replaced manifold the gaskets were bad still own =
2019 Pro4x just bought
I have a 2017 titan 108k, life average 16mpgs. Paint is only issue. Love this truck came from 2011 f150 limited 6.2v8, thought i would miss bigger engine. Nope. My truck has every option luxury package included oh, and this truck by far as the best value. I love it only other complaint I wish I had a bigger gas tank
Anyone that Has a Titan (yr16-19) should visit Nissan dealerships. They have updates on the ECM/TCM. My truck runs better than before. Shifts better & kicks better like my 2005 Titan.
I have a 2017 Titan SV w/ tow package, I purchased it new in DEC. 2016 and pull a 2020 Rockwood 5th wheel wow it pulls great, with the 5.5 ft bed it has been challenge finding a hitch, but plenty of power to pull a 8500 lb 5th wheel, with the 5.6 liter motor. We just returned from Galvastan, TX. we Live in St. Cloud Minnesota 6 Days on the Road both directions 3200 miles total. The last leg of the trip we got 12.2 mpg pulling a 5th wheel to me was impressive. we averaged about 8.1 mpg for the whole trip strong head wind and side wind going down, luckily we had a tail wind coming back. I currently have 55,465 miles I would buy another one It is a Bargain with all you get .
The most honest review of the Nissan Titan from actual owners👍🏾
aww thanks man
@@NissanPodcast Any flutter on your rmps while acceleration? Mine does this and it's new.
I own a 2017 Titan SV King Cab. Never any issues with the paint, but, it is white! Just had it in the shop for the Elk whistle Gas Tank and to re-program the computers for the engine and trans. Oh, and they changed out the fan clutch because it was running all the time. All warranty, so great on my wallet! I came from a 2003 Frontier I4 5 speed, black. Never ever any issues at all. So far, we love this Titan, even when towing a 32ft Camper! I too am not brand loyal, but, I have become very Nissan centered. Just wish they would put a bigger gas Tank on them... Come on, 26 gallons? Best of luck, and thanks for your reviews.
I got a 2018 Pro4x two tone silver/dark gray. Love the truck…and parking is no issue, I just take up two spaces 🤣 but I live in the country so if it’s not the meat market or a hardware store…I ain’t going anywhere unless it’s off road.
I have a 2017 Frontier Pro-4x and have the same problem with chips on the paint, there’s not a whole lot but it’s white so they’re pretty noticeable. Other than that it’s a great truck.
The frontier paint in front of the rear wheels and the leading edge of the rear bumper will chip like you wouldn't believe. Hopefully they change the design for 2021 as I otherwise loved the pro 4x I had
Very true video and a very underrated truck.
Shame
The 17's seem to have the most issues with trim, no? I have seen a few more Titans in my neck of the woods. The discounts and dealer seems to be dealing a little more.
My 2017 only gets less then 10mpg!!! Dealer and Nissan USA says there’s no issues with the factory parameters .
First to comment. I love my NNP family.
Awesome!
Awesome 😎 NNP
My 2017 titan keeps blowing a fuse and shutting off. Replace the fuse and it fires right up. When the fuse blows it says key system error. Any idea whats causing the fuse to keep blowing
I’m not really sure what to think about the engine. Mine had the # 7 cylinder issue. Got replaced under warranty, new long block installed. The engine isn’t that much different than the old gen (which seemed like a good engine). It’s just direct injected, VVT, and different pistons. I really hope my 2nd motor doesn’t have the same issue. Warranty is about up. Mine was a 2017, seems to be common. Transmission is not the best. But the motor has good power, and sounds great with stock exhaust.
I just bought a 2019 titan with 51k, the short block was replaced at 49k due to the cylinder #7 issue . Sounds like a diesel when idling but I don't hear any knocking. The lead mechanic at the dealership says no trucks have returned with issues after a long or short block replacement. Good luck with yours
I was looking at tundras. I love Toyota but maybe I’m better served with the Nissan. Rear locker, better mpg. Is this truck decent off road? I do a lot of desert driving and camping.
I have the pearl white with 58k miles on it and maybe 1 or 2 chips tops. I know the pearl paint is multi layered so maybe that why but no problems at all with the paint.
I believe I read it somewhere 3 layers
@@syedhussain3810 That's right. You can build & price on Nissan's site and it'll tell you there are 3 layers in the pearl white finish.
Nissan's are prime candidates for a clear wrap to protect it.
I just bought a 2017 Nissan Titan SV. Im glad to hear its a good truck the only thing I do not agree with is the MPG. My mpg since I have gotten it my mpg has been staying at 13.1. I use my truck for work so I drive a lot (18000 miles in 5 months). The MPG is my only complaint but not complaint because of the power this truck gives to haul and tow. And no I am not taking the gas mpg when towing or with a full bed this is the mpg driving empty on the highway. Anyone have any tips about getting better gas mileage would be appreciated.
You don’t get good mileage if you “haul& tow”. Won’t get good mileage if you don’t drive right either. Stay within the limits.
@@talisikid1618 Asi es.No debes sobrepasar las RPM del máximo torque.
Nissan paint is good and bad. Their paint is very tough and hard which means less scratch from normal wear and tear and washing swirls. The downside is, when road debri hits it hard enough…the paint chips away in chunks because it’s so hard.
Have you had any issues with Carbon Buildup due to Direct Injection?
In the 3 years we owed this Titan the only issue was the ac vent module went out and we did the transmission flash
Are you sure you weren’t driving behind a gravel truck that lost its load, WOW are u chipped up!! I’ve only got a couple of chips in mine and I’ve put plenty of highway miles ( Km’s here in Canada) on it .
I do have 1 question, how are your heated seats? Mine take forever to get warm (30-45min) and they’ve checked them 2x and say there’s nothing wrong! That’s really my only issue with the 3rd Titan I’ve owned. Mines a 17 XD with 5.6.
Love these trucks and will upgrade in another year if they produce a 2022 Titan.
Mine take 5 mins or so to heat up
I traded in my very early buiild 2017 pro4x after a motor change and a bunch of other problems on a 2019. Exact same truck. Pro4x in white. The seats work way better in the newer models.
Im trying to buy one in the next month but everyone is trying to change my mind to get something else because the transmission on Nissan is horrible so what do yall guys think? Or any other problems? I love the truck but i want it to be reliable
Never had any issues with with the 7 speed and we also have tested the 9 speed and it was great
The newer models have better transmission, 9speed and probably utilizing same technology as Mercedes since Nissan has a partnership with them. From all the videos I’ve seen for the new models, the transmission has been lauded as smooth and very responsive and likened to a sports car.
My 2017 gets 16 to 17 mpg in the 5.6 L. Paint on mine sucks.
Mine doesn't even have the paint problems
Would you recommend the 2020 Nissan Titan Pro-4x?
Yes. It’s a awesome truck! We loved it!!
Nice truck nissan came along way How much was ur lease
500 ish.. listed for 52k retail
I got my eye on these. I leased a 2018 Pathfinder and I have to say not impressed whatsoever. Front impact sensor hasn’t worked since 8months after we drove it off the lot. It’s been back for service for repair, and again it’s flaking out. ABS doesn’t work when it goes out, not impressed. It just feels like a cheap vehicle and the trim that breaks along with it. The paint problem you pointed out is nothing to over look, I don’t feel like we as customers should get a clear body wrap to protect a cheap paint job. I’ve had 2 F150s and both were good vehicles. I’m not brand loyal so I’ll go with what has the best features for the price, it might be a Titan, and it might not. If I do go with it, it’ll be a lease for sure, that way there I’m not stuck with it if it disappoints like the Pathfinder.
Other than the items we documented in these videos the truck has been very solid. The 2021 Pathfinder will get a real transmission and looks a lot like the new Rogue.
Honda thins out the paint , how much weight can they actually be taking off.
They look for every advantage they can find
My 2015 f150 has thin paint. lots of chips and scratches
The paint is horrible for sure. Will be putting on paint protection film soon.
Brian Young yes the paint is very thin and most likely water based, I would highly advice the paint film protection
I need a truck like this so bad for my business 🙄
Same !
How much did you lease for ? How much down? Per month? Term? Thanks as this will give ma a base line on cost$
Terms vary so Its hard to say what I paid is close to what you would pay
THE FRONTIER IS NOT OVERRATED , THE FRONTIER IS A SOLID RELIABLE TRUCK, BUT THE TITAN DEFINITELY IS UNDERRATED AND NOT GIVEN THE RECOGNITION FOR WHAT A DAMM GOOD RELIABLE TRUCK IT IS, IT BASICALLY COMES DOWN TO THIS, TOYOTA MAKES THE NUMBER 1 RELIABLE TRUCKS WITH NISSAN MAKING THE SECOND MOST RELIABLE TRUCKS. PERIOD
Damn true statement !!
Is a lease worth it
They're using water based paints I hear for environmental reasons. I don't know how true it but it is possible
get some touch up paint and touch up the chips. then ceramic coat it.
Chevy crew cab, dodge crew cabs all built in old Mexico jobs for their people not our people. Nissan Titans made in the United States!!! Best truck made. Mine has not even leaked one drop of oil or any type of fluid or any gasket leaks it's been a perfect truck
and bro because I just actually really badly want to buy myself a Nissan Frontier as well Nissan Brother because us Nissan Fans stick it together with our brand no matter how they are definitely doing because if you are definitely loal to one posific brand you will definitely stick by them thick and thin
I have the 16 with Cummins.. not sure why Cummins is not producing high quality engines like the old days.. Anyway, I have a set of those General Tires I took off after 6000 miles they were like Ice Skates on thin ice. I put on Michelins they always work for me.. My paint problems if any are mostly my own or parking lot nazi's who have no respect for anything. (my wife always warns me.)
Do you still have the 16 Titan and how's it holding up?
Did you ever have to change the throttle body ?
Nope
I thought I was the only one who bought a titan to be a mobile recycle truck.
My new 2020 nissan titan shakes at speed between 65 and 72mph. I put 2 sets of new tires on this thing and it still shakes. I had to buy the tires because Bayou nissan where I bought the truck nor the nissan corpation would replace them. Even though the truck had sit on their lot for over a year and I was told by another nissan dealership the tires had flat spots. I was told by the dealership, the tires were not under warranty. I was told Nissan Customer care it was normal for the truck to shake at those speed. What a ridiculous response. Now, I see why their sales are declining and they stopped trying to sell trucks in Canada.
All manufacturers have lemons here and there, I had ford's/Rams and Chevys and all had serious issues.
Be glad it hasn't developed "the knock'. Apparently some cylinder heads (particularly #7) were not honed properly and its a gamble on if you get a bad one or not. This info is coming not only from titan forums, but my best friend is a Nissan master tech and told me to steer clear of these as he has seen several come in for engine swaps and it is a royal pain. It sucks because this was going to be my next truck but I take his word as gospel and I don't want to roll the dice on an almost 40k vehicle. But I agree with the paint issue, every company has it down to a science to use the absolute minimum amount of paint to cover the metal, sad for how much they cost.
Yes the random cyl 7 issue is pretty we dc
Documented. We have talked about it in the weekly show a bit.
Thanks for checking out our review
How common is that 7th cylinder knock? I just paid $29k cash on my 2018 NISSAN TITAN SV . U GOT ME WORRIED NOW
@@janierios1194 Its not super common..
Nissan Nation Productions thank god, u scared the living shit out of me, I just payed $27k cash for a 2018 Titan sv with 46k miles
@@janierios1194 You have the best deal in full size trucks right now... The Titan is a beast I hope you enjoy it
I will agree with you on the paint job, nissan uses shitty paint. almost all the older Nissan titans and altimas I see on the road, the paint is fading or looks all messed up.
It’s the only reason I’m not buying one. I love the 2021 Titan but the paint jobs are subpar, even by today’s standards.
Frontier can't come quick enough
I don't really like saying this but... you can't blame nissan for the paint.. I own a 2014 fiesta ST. The key being 2 things.. the year model, (first year the environmental wackos made water based paint mandatory here on ALL US manufactured vehicles) And second where it is manufactured.. mine for example was produced in mexico.ANYTHING touches the paint and it chips.. The paint process has improved over the years but still not progressing as you would expect. And most importantly how can you expect ANYTHING that is made of water to be hard and chip resistant??? So thank you latte drinking tree hugging wierdo's may your car have all the paint chips you deserve..
Any chance you can accidentally DM a picture of the 2021 Frontier? 😉
Hahah.. we wish! It’s well worth the wait in our eyes
Sound too low at times. Other than that good review
Thanks
Time to buy the wife a Titan
All Nissans, start creaking and rattling a few years down the line...they're great when new.
But that has been their quality after being taken over
Well on mine i have 5 yr 100000 mile warranty
Paints on cars or trucks don't bother me
Smyrna plant all line workers furloughed as of today. news is not public yet :(
TheFlyingAvgeek yeah I received the notice but I don’t like reporting on this since so many will be out of work
tell you the truth about it bud because I just actually love the Nissan Titan Pickup Truck and even the Nissan Frontier bro because I have been a Nissan Guy since the day I was actually born because bro my dad had a 510 my mom had a 510 and I've had a Fair Lady Z Twin Turbo Five Speed manual transmission car when I was actually younger years buddy because she was actually a nine seconds without any kind Nitrous Oxide Kits and with my Nitrous Oxide Kits she was actually just a little bit under eight seconds at just a tad bit over 200 KPS buddy yup I'm Canadian
5,6 gasoline engine is crap. Engine knocking, always cylinder number 7. Purchase brand new Titan 2017. Have a short block replacement at 24000 kilometres June 2019. Now at 35000 kilometres the knocking is back. Exact same story for two others guy here in my small town. I see guys on a third motor for 2018 models. I see armada 2019 and Titan with engine knocking too. I see hundreds of cases on Facebook pages. RUN FOR YOUR LIVE!!
jacktravis75 Depends. The old 5.6 was great but the #7 issue is a problem.
This guy is on every titan video saying the same thing
At least nissan warranties them unlike GM and Ford with their transmissions
Extended warranty will be a must. I have 2 more years. Mine was replaced.
I was considering the gas version of this truck because there's a low miles truck nearby available, probably look for a Cummins powered instead. Thanks for sharing y'all's info
You seriously delete my post? 🤦♂️
Eric no ones deleted any posts
Nissan Nation Podcast sorry then. strange disappeared after posting hrmm.
Eric I see in a email notice your comment but sadly do not see it here..
we’ve not had any issue with the 7 speed. I did have it updated but after that no problems.
The new 9 speed is amazing.. when we tested it back in November I thought it may search for gears all the time but never noticed it at all
Dude, got the point. You keep repeating yourself to much.
Audio 👎
Your mic is horrible man. You need a new mic, hard to watch any of your videos out of the studio.
Noted, we had a few weeks of wind and it messed up a few videos for sure..
Ford is way worse
