Special Thanks To: Rodney
I have a '21 Non-XD Pro4X. I dont know why these trucks are so overlooked. I wish Nissan would promote the Titan the way it promotes the Frontier! Great trucks, but I also love being one of the few of them on the road
There is a crap load of Titans in Texas. However even grandma drives a truck in Texas !!
Wish they would restyle the Titan to look more like the new Frontier.
Just got a 22 Titan Pro4X, I’m super happy with it! Definitely a ManTruck!
The XD is a very under rated truck. Great value for the money. I've had the 5.6 and currently own the 5.0 diesel. Both have been great trucks. A lot of people give them crap because 2500s are more capable but the XD is not a 2500. They handle weight at their max capacity way better than a half ton at their max capacity.
Poor man's diesel what it is, that 5.0 ain't worth a crap ,they might have a Cummins but for the extra cost and fueling and maintenance for the little bit of extra power is not worth it.. very disappointing trucks.the Transmissions are junk body style is lacking .
@@codystanberry6235 I got my new XD for way less than a similarly equipped half ton would've been, and at the time (before hybrid pickups) it had A LOT more torque. It's not going to win races, it's heavy and only has 310 hp. I didn't buy it to win races. It also has the same proven transmission as the 3500 ram. Not sure what you're even talking about? Did you bump your head?
@@fewworddotrick I think he did fucking bump his head, I got 5 TITANS using for my construction business its been over 10 years since I start using Titan No complain at all most reliable vehicles I ever owned. I would never buy any other crap ever
@@codystanberry6235 Aisin trans are junk? Lol ok
@@codystanberry6235 in what world are Aisin trans junk? Lol
We have a 2021 Nissan TD 4x4 with a 5.6-liter gas engine. We really like the way it hauls trailers full of scrap metal to the recycling center. This is an excellent truck and highly recommend it not only for towing but also as a good family truck.
I agree, I think this is a well rounded rig
Do you use this truck as your tow rig?
@@alleng012985 My friend has a scrape and storage space (1 acre) out in Sandoval County. He has two trailers, 20' and 30', and we can pile them up to six feet of junk and tow them easily. TFL truck has a Nissan TD XD, 5.6-liter gas engine, video in which they tow 9,000 + pounds uphill and it is one of the reasons my wife and I decided to buy this truck. It is fun video to watch.
@@CopCat34 I've seen their video. I was wondering if this would be suitable for my dumpster trailer business
@@alleng012985 I really do not know anything about a dumpster trailer business so I can not say. Sorry.
I have 45,000 miles on my 2018 XD and not had a single thing go wrong. I tow a 38 foot camper rated at 9,000 lbs. Rock solid towing from Colorado to Texas and back to Nebraska. Do yourself a favor and look at the XD. Hands down, the most underrated truck in the market.
Gas or diesel?
It has to be gas. V8 Cummins has problems
Is your truck gas or Desil
Thank you Rodney for letting JB use your truck!!
I have a 1st Gen Titan and it’s been a great truck. It’s a 2013 with 2.94 YES 2.94 gears. Even with its 5 speed auto it’s still very strong. The trans is geared accordingly so the 2.94 works well. The first Gen Titan did have an optional 3.36 ratio.
Different truck and load but I towed my Mustang on an open car hauler from GA to Florida. 1000 mile round trip. 6000+ lbs. My truck got 13 MPG hand calculated. I used cruise control. 70 mph and I locked out 5th gear which puts RPM’s right around 2,000. I was very happy with that.
My 1st Gen 5.6 makes its peak torque at 3400 rpm. That’s 600 rpm sooner than the current 5.6 but the 9 speed more than makes up for it.
JB you said you were going to stop reviews but you keep pumping them out. I hope you stay with it man!
Thanks for sharing Anthony, this was the last towing video with this trailer (up for sale) but there will be more in the future👍🏾
Just finished a 5300 mile round trip towing a 7k 8.5x20 cargo trailer from WA to east TN with my 2020 XD SV gasser. Loaded on way out probably mid 6K in weight, unloaded on way back around 3.2k. Fuel mileage averaged daily between 7.5 up to 10.3 mpg. Lots of sustained headwinds, crosswinds, steep grade mountain passes both ways (took the more northern route on way out, more souther route in the way back). Didn’t miss a beat and so much better stability than my 2013 Titan SV.
I was originally only considering the standard Titan, but my biggest gripe about most 1/2 tons are the low payload and short bed for crew cabs. On paper someone will try to say there are half tons with more payload capacity - but not in the same configuration. direct comparison with a crew cab and 6.5’ bed 4x4 you get the increased payload and 11k lbs towing. For someone who loads up the bed with a decked box and a camper shell and uses the truck for towing, hunting in the back country, hauling kids and camping gear the XD fits the bill. Still can get the pro4x with rear locker and all the goods.
That 5.6 was screaming...sounds great
Mostly agree as far as the stock truck vs stock truck....Deleted is a whole different story, that 5.0 Cummins is an absolute beast when that emissions shit is gone...
Im am a Ram 3500 HO Cummins and. Titan XD gas owner.. both in my opinion the two best of both worlds.. best American truck and the best Japanese truck. sorry Toyota fans, your tundra cannot do what the XD does when towing..
JB in the future all Titan XD,s come standard with gooseneck prep. (No extra up sell) Something Ram, Chevy, and Ford should learn. Just saying big 3 stop Nichole and dimming buyers.
I have a 2018 regular Titan SV (non XD) with tow package. I tow occasionally anywhere from 3,000 to 7,000# rock solid...no problem. I installed timbren ses suspension enhancement. 6,000# progressive rubber springs on each side that when you load the truck down the springs sit down on the axle plates. I also put E rated 10 ply LT tires all around. Truck is solid as a rock when towing with that same V8 motor. Also, when not towing I have the great 1/2 ton suspension ride. Best of both worlds for me. That being said I would also love an XD with extra weight and capacity. Awesome trucks ! As long as you don't need a true HD truck and towing loads over 10,000# etc.... 1/2 ton just fits my specific needs. Also, recommend the 12,000# shocker impact hitch with sway bar mounts that can be used with Curt or Reese heavy duty sway arms. Unbelievable!!
You don't know the trailers back there. It's like the hitch has its own suspension and separates and smooths out the ride and bumps between the truck and trailer. I just couldn't be happier with my crew cab Titan and paying $32,000 for a brand new 4x4 loaded with tow package Titan works great for me . Also, 1 last note....I see videos of people hauling trailers up hills or mountains not utilizing manual shifting ??? Don't do it!!
Lock out the auto downshifting and screaming RPM's for God sake! Just manually shift up and down as needed keeping RPM's 2,500 to 3,000 area.
So much easier on your transmission and truck and a lot less annoying. I lock out my 7 speed tranny to no higher than 5th gear and down shift to 3rd or 4th as needed in the hills. Works awesome!
Thanks to this video, I just bought me a 2023 model. My family loves it. Cant wait to start towing with it. Feels solid.
Great review! Thanks for showing the XD some love…it deserves it. My 2021 just hauled a 7,000 lb trailer across the country. No issues, rock solid.
God bless you Rodney! No lift Brown breaking it down! Awesome!
🤣
I remember watching this video months before getting my 24 XD Pro4x. Everything mentioned here, I can attest to. This truck is a beast and fits people looking for a bump from the 1/2 ton range, perfectly. My truck is fully loaded and my payload sticker (cat scales verified) is 1840 lbs.
Nissan Titan gas engine is a bullet proof power train, no fancy stuff just a plain old good working truck been driving my old truck for 10 years no problem at all
I was waiting for this video! Great job! Team Titan for the win!
Thanks Tommy 👍🏾
Have a 2018 platinum reserve xd, love the truck. The back up cam is pretty ass but it's workable, the tank is a little small but great truck overall. The Zero Gravity seats are almost as good as my Audi A8l seats.
One thing that should not go unnoticed, is he looks so chill driving this thing.
They are also not bouncing all over the place. Motor and transmission just did their thing. I am fine not having 500lb-Ft of torque, if it means I get the stability. I am not in a need to do 0-60 in under 10 seconds. Stability and trust in your towing vehicle is important.
Love my 2021 Titan XD very comfortable ride !
That's a nice truck. I debated buying one and upgrading from my regular 2018 Titan S. I found that I would want more towing capacity just in case and went to a Ram 2500 6.4L instead. If they would have made the towing capacity 12,500 or 13k, I would have been sold.
Great video, thanks Rodney for letting us see your truck! The XD is on my list and so are the Cooper tires
I have a 2011 titan, and moved my brother from Arkansas to Washington in august. Not sure about the trailer weight, but the 2700 miles there I got 10.9 mpg average, and I dropped the uhaul off and on the way back got 14.7. Definitely not good gas mileage, but I was also going 85mph for 12+ hours a day.
I love my ‘19 XD. Just wish that gas tank was bigger. Stability is insane with my 33’ TT. I have to slow myself down on the highway cause it feels solid.
I agree about the stability 👍🏾
I’m looking at the 2024 titan xd. Just read they are stopping production this year. I’m concerned about support for them going forward, but at almost 64 years old, by the time they stop supporting it, I won’t be towing my camper much if at all, lol. Thanks for the video
You will be safe. 10yrs they must supply parts for after production ends. Plus share alot with Armada V8 anyways so I think you will be ok. I'm trying to trade my 21 SV in and get another Titan myself before they are all gone. Trouble free 59,000 miles. And friends of mine have over 200,000 miles on some. Just cause sales couldn't keep up with big 3 chain doesn't mean a bad truck at all. Folks just like what they like for brands.
I call them 5/8 Ton trucks. Great for when you only want a half ton, but need a little bit more stability.
I had the diesel XD and traded to gas 2021 XD pro4x. Has everything, rear locker, pano moonroof, heated/cooled seats. Pulls my 9k lbs fifth wheel. It doubles as my daily, and “school bus”, and groceries getter. I actually get 17 mpg on highway at 70 mph. 19 mpg if i drive 60 mph. Towing my 9k i get around 10 mpg average.
Did you like the diesel or the gasser more?
@@cooperb252definitely overall I like the gasser better. They increased the rear axle ratio on the new gassers after 2020 and put a new 9 speed transmission. I like it way more than the 5l cummins with the 6speed.
My 2017 5 ltr. Cummins Turbo diesel S.L. had a problem with an internal sensor at 20k. Towing a 7.5k Lance. Average 15 mpg. 275 .miles. Carry 12 gallons diesel, 12 gallons gas,(Onan/Cummins 4500wt. Inverter generator). Over 30k. now. Travel On!
I think you could see the gas gage dropping as you were climbing. Made me want to shed a tear for the poor thing
He was giving that thing the beans lol.
Thanks for redeeming the truck. I went went from a 2017 titan to a 2019 xd and it tows our 27 ft rv great
What's your GVWR on your travel trailer wet
@TheArtillerymen it was 7000 lbs. I sold it recently, but it was a 27 foot bunk house, 30 feet 6 inches total length.
I own a XD gas for daily commute and occasional recreational towing. The gas version is super reliable and comfortable. It fits all my family needs perfectly. It’s sad that in Canada, Nissan discontinued it last year. I wish they could put it back to shelf when my current XD ready to retire.
I hope they remain in production. Would love to see a three quarter ton and a full ton.
I could be wrong. But I think you had the truck in 4x4 during the hill climb. Take it out of 4x4 and mileage and acceleration will improve dramatically. I had the 5.6 in my last Nissan, great engine! Told myself that I would always have one. However, I lied to myself and bought a XD Cummins. Acceleration was poor, just a few modifications to that Cummins and now it scares my passengers! The Cummins is just a chained beast! I will never sell my XD Cummins.
Have a 2023 Pro4x what a truck quality just close the doors sound like a Mercedes solid quality inside and out best value on the market
Bro I agree with that camera! We have a 2020 armada and that camera is pretty awful and it’s offset to the driver side by a few inches. It makes hooking up the travel trailer a lil bit of a pain. It’s not bad for normal backing scenarios but trying to focus on the ball and coupler it’s a bit of chore. Hopefully they’ll upgrade it in the future for better clarity.
Yea they need to make that a update for 2022 or 2023… It’s definitely the worst I’ve seen so far although I can’t remember it the Tundras camera. Thanks 👍🏾
@@JB_WhoWork yes sir! I love the the engine that Nissan uses in the titan and armada. I just wish the armada had a bigger rear gear. It’s not bad but I’m glad it’s mainly flat where we tow. 😂
Lol! Well that 5.6L isn’t known for fuel economy which is why they use a tall gear out back 😂
That camera is better than the one I had on the Silverado, which was none but it certainly needs a major upgrade!
@@JB_WhoWork yeah I get it! Trying to help out the thirsty beast anyway they can! 😂😂
I have a 2017 titan xd cummins i tow a toyhauler fully load it weighs 10,000lbs in the back of my truck bed! i haul 125cc atv with a 70cc dirtbike and filled with wood to burn "Payloads Probably Overloaded" and it tows fine through the canyons
Titan has a great sounding V8.
I’m in agreement regarding all the pros with this truck, though the only think that deters me from buying one is the pricing. For the price of a SV model I can get a low basic custom 2500, STX f250, or a RAM 2500 Tradesmen. If the price would drop below those three entry level 3/4 tons id be definitely all in. But with the prices be gouged above a 3/4 ton I just can’t do it.
I'm looking at buying one seems like best budget truck for light towing
Little more technology would make a really nice truck, the best thing about them is the sound there v8 sounds badass!
Great review on the gasser- as an XD diesel owner I think it’s time for a change 🍻
Thanks!
I owned 2017 cummins XD. Loved the truck - hated the emissions related issues. The solution was the XD but with gas engine. The 20-21 models got the new, smoother 9speed transmission. I enjoy the truck.
I love my 2016 tundra but learned the hard way, the cargo capacity stinks, and even though my trailer is 3,000 pounds under max towing weight, even with a top line equilizer hitch, and recently added airbags, I just can’t get comfortable towing my new camper. Over 40-45, bumpy roads, etc, just seems unstable and a white knuckle experience. I need to do something if I’m going to enjoy traveling with my 7,500 pound camper, 700 pound hitch weight.
Nice review. Pretty cool doing this with a viewer.
As for the truck, I still kinda think it’s an answer to a question that no one asked. This is just my opinion so don’t kill me, but it doesn’t do anything as well as a 3/4 ton gas truck would have done and you’re still kinda limited to what size trailer you can tow just like a regular 1500. Any of the American trucks with a gas engine would have weighed 7,000 pounds or more and would have bigger fuel tanks, bigger brakes, bigger 8 lug axles and get the same or better fuel mileage.
Just my opinion and to each their own but if a 1500 truck ain’t cutting it for your towing needs I think you may as well get a real 2500 and then not be nearly as limited on trailer options.
Really great point, the Titan is a great truck for people who still think American trucks are unreliable. The other part is this truck is definitely more stable than a half ton so no worries about buying a big truck for a few camping trips a year and no need for higher registration due to GVWR 👍🏾
@@JB_WhoWork fair point on people worried about American truck dependability. I’m not sure on pricing of these XDs either so that might be something to consider.
I still say though at the end of the day they have all the disadvantages of a true 3/4 ton (poor fuel economy vs 1/2 tons, empty performance/ride vs 1/2 tons) with no real advantage over a true 3/4 ton with all my previous comment disadvantages.
@@matthewanderson9912 price is a huge factor. You get all the function that 90% of 3/4 ton purchasers need with only 70% of the cost. To get the function and options you get with a high trim xd in a 3/4 ton you are going to be spending 15-20k more.
@@braxtonbragg7170 Well I’ve never priced them out. I just know a nicely optioned GM or Ram with the gas engine will be low to mid 50s for a 2500. That seems like a pretty good value for what you get.
Fair points! A big selling point for me is the 5 year 100,000 mile bumper to bumper warranty. What kind of value is placed on that, over a 3 year 36,000 mile warranty?
Bronze Star! Thank you for your service, sir!
I myself prefer the diesel over the gas but that’s just me. I think the 5.0 is just underrated.
That truck over working would drive me nuts. I think I’d take a slower, easier working 5.0 any day
Exactly trucks not for speed
Love the warranty but other than that 👎 Great review as always JB
Thanks for sharing brother 👍🏾
The only thing I don’t like is the with gas the RPM you experience when towing and no exhaust break. My 28’ travel trailer (32’-7” overall length) weighs around 8K loaded was towed with my Tundra CrewMax but not a good experience. IMHO towing a trailer over 6K should be done with a 3/4 ton truck.
I don’t disagree, gasoline engines run at higher RPM’s so it is annoying if you’re climbing something for long periods. The exhaust brake is something I can’t live without especially in my area where we hit grades going to some campgrounds 👍🏾
Titan XD would be perfect for such a trailer. It is very heavy and stable.
The 5.0 cummins also was known to snap cranks.
Didn’t know that
And so have the duramax. Do your research.
Man that thig sounds amazing
I fun those same tires on my entire fleet of 110ish half tons. We get ~ 70k out of them and they get us out to the same places KO2s did with 20k more miles
Fits a niche. I agree with your assessment.
🤝
These videos are amazing. You take all the guess work out of it sir. Many thanks.
Can someone explain axle ratios please?
Guess not….☠️
These comments come in so fast, I don’t see them all lol. In Lehman terms, Rear Axle Ratios provide better acceleration (numerically higher) or increase mpg (numerically lower). The most common ratios in trucks are 3.73 or 4.10. If you have a truck on a lift, you can spin the tire 1 full turn and count how many times the drive shaft turn which would look like: 4.10:1 or 3.73:1
@@JB_WhoWork haha no worries. I figured if I commented again it would pop up!
Thanks for the info! Keep up the awesome work.
Wait I'm confused.....
When did RAM put a Cummins in a Nissan truck?
I'm beyond lost. What happened???
It was a small Cummins, not the 6.7 which is why I think the package failed to sell. The torque number was pretty anemic like around 450-500 ft. Lb or something like that.
Cummins produced a 5.0L V8 diesel for the Titan XD models. It failed miserably as they had all kinds of emissions issues, crankshaft breaking, and lack of sales issues. It made 310hp and 555tq.
@@scotts2094 thank you the informational update. I had no idea
@@arch417powersports good to know, thank you

Tha engine consumed almost a quarter of fuel tank in 11 miles trip? 😳 that's reason why I have a diesel engine for tow heavy weights. Poor engine i been waiting for a flying piston... too much effort!
100% I love my truck but that gas mileage
Is making want to trade it in
I tow with a 2017 XD. tows toy hauler full with zero issues
Loved this review.
How is the cabin for sound? It sounded loud, but I'm guessing most of that would be the camera. I have a Nissan Pathfinder, and it seems kind of loud in the cabin.
Hey JB, good stuff as always! This truck might actually be a good fit for my application, which is a boat on a surge-braked trailer that weighs about 9500 pounds, tongue weight around 750 but I cannot use weight distribution hitch due to the design of the trailer tongue. What approximately do you think the weight of your trailer in total, and the tongue weight, was for this test? And you were not using weight distribution, correct?
Thanks, my trailer was about 9300#’s at the time of this video and hitch weight was over a 1000#’s so your boat would be just fine 👍🏾
@@JB_WhoWork Awesome! Thanks, JB & keep up the excellent work
What was the weight of the trailer? 9000 lbs?
Excellent review
I have a 2021 Titan XD Platinum Reserve 4x4 by far the best truck I have ever owned. I had a 2015 Titan. I have owned Chevy and Ford trucks they have so many problems. I work for a Ford dealership in service department the Ford 10 speed transmission is junk would never buy one.
I bought my 2018 Titan XD new in Colorado. 5.6 gas engine started knocking around 20,000. At 30,000 miles needed a new engine. Nissan installed new engine under warranty. Other than that it is an awesome truck! I hope to keep it for years.
Yes there was some 17/18s with that issue same with the Armada. Hope the new one is good for many years!
@@mikecarmean1676 Been great since the new engine. Hoping to put 200,00+ on it.
Yeah they had a small problem with one of the cylinders but they fixed it
What are you pulling, and what is the weight
Stop saying Japanese it's built in Tennessee it's more American than on the top three which are made in Mexico
Great videos! Love’ em
Thanks Steve
Fussing about a backup camera? What the hell you need a 4K backup camera for? You gonna drive backwards full time? Anyways, good video.
Good review. Have you considered to use the Dragy to track your acceleration results?
I have but I need a good assistant to write things down for me lol
From your videos on the diesel and gas, I didn't see that much difference in the 2 up the grade. The milage would have sold me on the diesel. I just test drove a 2017 gas and a 2019 diesel and the diesel had more jump in low end acceleration. May the previous owner had it tuned??? I was put off by your comparing it to the 2500s which it is not. Compare it to a 1500. Just my thoughts.
👍🏾
I love the Video great info Thanks
Thank You!
I think this truck does the job better than 5.7 tundra. Right? JB.
Great video though!!!!
Have to remember the Cummings engine was initially designed for ram they rejected it Nissan needed a diesel and this is what they used. Not Nissans fault for the disappointing diesel.
I guess there was a reason why RAM rejected it 🤷♂️
Nissan chose to go with it and sell it to customers. They could have rejected it just like Ram. So, Nissans fault. Just like it’s Ram’s fault for insisting on using Transforce tires. Not Firestones fault.
Incorrect. Toyota had a deal with Cummins for the 5.0L and the passed on it. Nissan jumped on it and it was a mistake. They just wanted the American name diesel in their American trucks. Nissan makes their own diesel overseas that would have been a better match.
@@hectorstewart7706 yep i was about to comment that
@@hectorstewart7706 that's also why it has a aisin transmission

Hey JB wyt of a 6.4 hemi swap in a 2wd 03 5.7 hemi because that year was notoriously bad for turning and trans tuning yeah you could prob swap a 05 computer and stuff and make power cheaper but it's not the same as a big 6.4 swap and possibly to sc thought about a cummins swap but it's super heavy and can ruin the frame idk if I'd go truck or car engine if I did go for this tho
If you plan on doing any heavy lifting I would go truck 6.4L. It’s better to just get a 6.4L/8speed if possible but I know that trans would be 💰💰💰 because it recently came out in 2019.

Did he have to build it with the heavy-duty front spring to get 2000lb on the payload sticker?
I own one. That’s how they are built from the factory
You should do a Teton Pass test, it's only a 10% grade, 60K gvw limit pass!
I’ve never heard of that?
@@JB_WhoWork I did it last week, it was unreal. If you ever are able to get to Teton national park area, hit the "go live" button when going from Jackson WY to Victor ID.
That is an intense road unloaded even.
How long and heavy was that trailer
That’s funny my 06 Range Rover supercharged weighs around the same weight
If it came with a 6'6" bed I'd buy one.
The XD does come with that size bed standard!
How much did the trailer weigh?
Impressed with the truck, but the driving...not so much. No way would I let someone else stick their foot in the accelerator of my new truck like that. LOL Probably would have gotten 10 mpg if you weren't in such a rush to hit top speed going up that hill.
Why did you have it in 4x4???
Peace Out Homie
Thank you 👍

How much was this truck?
I don't understand why he said don't buy a truck if you are trying to save money on gas, but yet hellcats get on a average 8mpg and crazy people keep buying those???

True but you can’t tow a camper with a Hellcat lol
@@JB_WhoWork Lol FACTS, I'm just saying, I don't know why V8 owners complain about fuel economy, from what I have seen since I'm in a car club, it has been the hellcat, 392, redeye drivers

Some days, I wish stellantis would fail and Mercedes would reinvest in Dodge, Ram, & Jeep. Mercedes developed this transmission & gave Nissan the rights to manufacture. Imagine if RAM had this transmission for HD and LD applications.
I think Stellantis has done the best job ever with CDJR, don’t get me wrong, Daimler had it’s successes but I think FCA really made this brand go the distant… I remember working for Toyota and someone saying 2008 was going to be the last year of Chrysler… Fiat stepped in when no one else wanted them and made CDJR the most profitably and popular brand out there. Reliability is up for RAM/Dodge too 👍🏾
Pretty sure I’m sold the Nissan dealer near me has life time warranty
What was the dry weight of the trailer?
4200#’s
rear axles on these things are way too light for any serious work.
Can anyone recommend a larger aftermarket gas tank for the gas XD?
google a TitanTank, brand name of manufacturer, not related to the Nissan Titan, they make a 50 gallon tank that replaces the stock tank. pretty straight forward, change out in a couple of hours if you empty the tank out before dropping it.
