Vložit
- čas přidán 7. 07. 2024
- The Nissan Titan was the 13th best-selling truck in America last year. But is it really that much worse than a Ford F-150, Toyota Tundra or Chevrolet Silverado? In this video Ryan covers all the features, tests the 0-60 and off-road capabilities of one of the worst-selling trucks on the market. Should new truck buyers give the Nissan Titan a second look?

If you call the interior of titan bland then i don't know what word to use to describe the interior of the tundra.
You forget to mentioned GMC and Chevy:)
Shit
The chevy has the same interior than the 2001😂😂
Ouch
I knowwwww. I know the comment is old but you're spot on man!! People expect so much unnecessary tech!! The titan is the best middle ground and most underrated truck on the market even now.
Traded my '15 Ecoboost F150 FX4 for a '19 Titan and love it.
How's the truck holding.. do you still like it? Con's and pro's?! Would you go back to ford? I gotta know lol im in the process of doin lots of homework before trading in my truck.
@@512juancho If you want longevity, go with Nissan Titan or Tundra. Titan for the features and looks for me.
@@512juancho
It appears buyers remorse has set in lol.
@@charleshenson4183 not one bit ive had my truck for the longest and its been good but itll also be nice to have something new 😁
Traded my 2019 Ram Laramie for 2021 Titan Pro-4x. Shorter bed and lower towing capabilities. But a lot safer with extra standard features, much better off the pavement than the Rebel. You don't have to pay extra for things or fight trim levels to get an extra feature. Nissan is really smoking the competition when it comes to light duty and SUVs.
Damn straight and the 2023 is keeping up this great trend! It might be my first half ton!
I bought mine a month ago 2019 TITAN PRO 4X 6 inch lift with 35 inch tires brand new you can see it on my ID picture, yesterday we had a big snow storm here in Calgary, I pulled out 10 stuck vehicles in the snow 2 of them were DODGE RAM 1500
Love my 2020 P4X, with discounts it was under 50 with 0%. Secondly when all other brands were equiped with all safety features we're 6-10k more. Add in longer warranty you have a clear winner.
5 year 100,000 mile bumper to bumper in the Titan right now
What was the sticker price on yours?
@@michalp2362 My SL sticker was $56,500 but got it for $43,00
@@tubewatcher5012 Holy crap..! That's what I'm talkin' about, nice...!
How has the MPG been...? If you average 19 to 20 I think I made my decision for 2021.
Couldn't be happier with my '20 titan pro-4x!
How has your MPG been thus far?
@@gerry2893 averaging 17 mpg. Mix of city and highway and off roading.
@@ogduckett Still not bad. For me when you get under 15 (like my old Jeep GC) is not good. Thanks Bro..!
How have you liked it so far pros/cons? I have a frontier pro-4x and eventually want to get a Titan over Ford by far.
@@trhenryvlogs9638 I absolutely love the truck. Pro's are the power, 9 speed trans and being in 4lo is a damn billy goat lol. Climbs trails/mountains (Colorado) with ease. 17mpg for a big heavy off road truck is not horrible. The panoramic sunroof is nice for the whole family to stare up at the trails we're climbing or just cruising at night. The cons are that because of it being a pro-4x it does ride a little rough compared to a new f150 fx4. The adaptive cruise is a but touchy. It will get you back up to speed when the car in front moves over VERY quickly lol. Crash avoidance is a great feature though. Got 5600 miles on it. Will be adding a lot more this spring and summer. Oh I and I also love not having the same truck as everyone else!
Just picked up a 21 pro 4x yesterday. 6k off msrp. No other manufacturer dealers are doing that right now. It’s fully loaded. We flipping love it. The headlights are hands down the best, brightest, most effective lights I’ve ever seen. The high beams are insane. We got so much for the money, and the best truck warranty out there.
Love the Titan. Best truck overall in my opinion. I hit a horse goin 60 mph with my Titan and walked away with not a single scratch on me. It has the best safety equipment on it for a big truck. Also 100k bumper to bumper warranty you can't beat that. 👍
That’s a fast freaking horse!!!
Get a PRO 4X unless you can't handle that kind of power.
How’s the horse
Needs more experience off-road driving I felt scared for the Titan.
Thank you I was watching this video just cringing at the decisions he made and the things he was saying about the truck. It definitely seems like he likes all the technology in the other brands. My dad has a 2021 ford and he can't stand all the tech because it breaks so much. My dad had a 2017 Titan Pro4X before and he loved it only reason he sold it was because he needed to tow more
I bought a 2021 Nissan titan Pro 4X Got a good price. $ 49000. Love it best warrant then any pickup truck. Five Years or 100.000 miles bumper to bumper.
I have a 2021 Nissan Titan SV and I’m stoked to own it. Looks boss in my driveway and sounds mean when you step on the gas. Fun to drive as well.
Just bought a 2022 pro 4x. I love it and I love the way it sounds and moves
I have a 2019 Pro4X after driving Dodge Rams when they were still Dodge (96 &06). The Titan is a great value and if you are looking for a "main stream" set up the Titan is worth a look.
I like your son being in the video. You should include him and ask his opinion as a passenger on ride comfort /second row space etc.
He's currently 11. So the answer would probably be "doink!" Or something else non-sensicle. He likes to go off-roading but doesn't really feel comfortable talking on camera, so he's at the silly remark phase of life. In a few years, he'll be a natural, though.
With Ford having major transmission issues, and not fixing it, and Chevys major lifter issues (also not being fixed) really makes the titan look good! I’ll be in the market before long and definitely checking out the p4x
After owning a 2016 and 2018 f150 im very glad to have switched to the 2020 titan. Much more sturdy feeling truck better warranty and much better price.
Try turning the traction control OFF, next time. It will allow you to control the throttle better. You wouldn't need momentum to crawl over little rocks. You also have a rear locker available.
Love my 2021 Pro4X. Bought it with 71000 miles with an extended warranty for an additional 100,000 miles and 5 years, for $48,000. All service done since new. Beautiful hard working truck. Hauled all my lumber for redoing my back deck, including 6-12x12x2 treated lumber boards with no worries, and honestly one of the fastest trucks out there. I have a problem going slow. FUN TRUCK!!
Just bought 2021 titan pro 4x . Luv everything about it so far. You know it's a truck it feels like a truck . My son's chevy 1500 is really light in that area. Looking forward to years of use. Great video enjoyed watching
Is this your 1st time offroad? Glad you're taking your son with you! Makes memories that'll last a lifetime!
Great truck, I would get this over other full size trucks.
Im a big fan, love your videos❤
Im an oldie but a goodie . I'm the proud owner of a 2014 P4X and with all my 64,989 miles and the old Girl is in top condition.
And sounds mean to boot.
Never been stuck , and she is paid off.
Can not compromise the best truck for the money. And I was a loyal Chevy Guy.
Very underrated trucks, the msrp is just that. If you are interested they will come waaaay off the sticker price. Best warranty to boot, can’t beat them.
Loved how your kid handled the situation. Fantastic!
This is arguably the best automotive channel but this is unarguably my favorite automotive channel.
Still love my 2017 Titan. Kinda glad people don’t buy them. I like being the only one haha
Launch in 2wd. It has traction control. That truck will zero to 60 in 7.6 seconds without trying.....but in 4wd you loose power out of the hole.
Not to mention you don't engage 4wd on drive pavement and launch, this guy is not too bright doing the review.
And that poor kid has to call him dad, lol
Nissan has a restriction in 1st gear. It’s hard to even do a burnout in these.
@@joshc606 only with the brake pedal pressed. It will kick power down if you do a slow roll out and stab the throttle. I have personal experience with this. I have owned an 05 Titan, 08 Titan and now an 18.
Love my 2019 Pro 4x. I got the Icon 3 inch suspension lift installed and warranted by Nissan. Compared it with TRD Pro and Ram Rebel, and this one just seemed the best of the group to me. It does anything you can possibly ask of it.
And they don't have 0% for 84 months on those😂
It's so nice. Would love to own one.
Doesn't seem like a bad truck. I would consider it definitely among the others... I guess with all of them there is room for improvement. Other then Ram it seems to have the large infotainment screen. The price I don't think, is competitive enough for what you can get for some of the other brands. For the right price I say go for it
Is that your son in the back seat during this review? He is grand. Excellent review. Reliable and under appreciated truck. Thanks again for your great reviews.
Love my 21 Pro 4x, it's the smoothest driving vehicle I've ever owned. The 9 speed is the best thing they ever did to the truck. And I got 0% for 84 months!
84? wow ok! Love the P4X
You agreed to a 84 month finance plan? Lmao
@@MeliorIlle @0% you simpleton
He said it was 0%. What do you not understand about that?
@@MeliorIlle0% on 84 months???? yea dude it doesnt get any better
Absolutely love my 2019 Pro4X!!! Much faster if you leave it in RWD. I wonder when backing out if it was a traction control issue that made you use a little momentum? Sure there are more expensive trucks with more gadgets and goodies, but how much more do you really need. Titan is a well equipped and honest truck. Punches way above its price point imho.
Idk what’s more shaken up, the kid in the back seat or my pre-conceived notions of what I thought a Nissan truck was capable of. Good review! Thanks 🙏
Pretty shotty driver tbh
all you had to do was press the P button and it would have stopped self braking to avoid collision feature. I love my truck! Same one!
The mirrors do not reverse auto tilt when you rotate the knob back to center position.
Great video! Totally the baddest Nissan out there 😎
I really love my pro 4x in red color with sports bar, it looks really good
Just bought a 2023 Titan Pro4X. It's my first Nissan and so far I love it. I use my trucks off-road so it'll be fun to see what it's capable of!
I swear to god you people are paid to hate on this truck for A. Made up problems B. Complete over acting. Yes you can change your speeds, yes you can turn off those auto adjusting mirrors, yes if you are blind as a bat things smaller than 12” are difficult to see on the 360 cam that BY THE WAY you can get on a RAM still. “Oh no this truck doesn’t massage my ass while it drives for me. Gotta take points off” no wonder it’s the worst selling full sized truck, y’all only talk down about it. It’s a beautiful truck with the best V8 that’s left in a truck which is American made and has more American components than ford and Chevy combined.
New adventures!!! Heck yeah
Test drove a 2023 p4x yesterday.
Wow I was impressed and now looking for a good deal on one 👍👍
Love my 2021 Glacier White, Pro4X. Great truck and more! that’s exactly why I bought it. It still feels enough like a truck. Will be doing cold air intake and exhaust upgrade eventually but for now it’s pretty Darn good. I averaged 19.5 mpg right now. No worries. I’m done with compact vehicles.
What’s your secret for such good mpg?
Own a 2017 SL crew cab with a lift on 33s. Traded my Ram in for it. Titan was the best bang for the buck.
Only thing I will change on my titan is adding a pedal commander to get rid of the fly by wire throttle lag off the line.
I found a 2020 Pro 4X King cab that I liked. Bought it for 19.8% below MSRP. :-) BTW, the Pro 4X will not be available as a King Cab in 2021, just as a Crew Cab.
The mirrors issue is because of the set-up button if in setup position for either mirror automatically moves when placed in reverse. So the switch can be used to move rhe mirrrors up and down when in reverse.
At 2:40, you mentioned that the model you have here is the smaller Crew Cab. That threw me for a loop, because you actually have the larger Crew Cab, the smaller cab being called the King Cab, with smaller rear opening doors. I've certainly never seen a King cab though, because up here in Canada the current gen Titan was only offered in Crew Cab configuration. As an aside, Titan has officially been discontinued in Canada. I guess it just didn't sell well enough up here.
Thanks, I've never seen a King Cab on a Titan, either. Should have read that part of the data sheet more closely.
What made me laugh the kid sitting backside keeps rolling in the seat 😂😂 what a nice suspension really … nice video and I love this red cooling looking truck seems tough and sharp 💪🏻
Dad I think it's awesome you brought the XO along-it occurs to me-does the rear seat belt adjust down for smaller people's size? Also is the sensor volume adjustable? Are each sensor sounds distinguishable by pitch?
It’s a good looking truck. I wonder if you could get one for a big discount considering how poorly they sell
Yes. No dealer is actually getting 60k
@@tubewatcher5012 most definitely anyone that pay MSRP for Nissan products is crazy.
Oh yeah you can. I got my pro 4x for 43k.
@@TheShootersBay most definitely anyone who pays MSRP for ANY truck is crazy
I picked up my 2018 Titan XD PRO-4X for $39,300. MSRP was $54,000. I’ve put nearly 34,000 miles on my XD with zero problems. I have only done routine maintenance. The Titan is the most under-appreciated truck in America. I’ll concede that the Big 3 have better products but the Titan delivers more on the bang for your buck ratio vs other trucks. Besides, it tows my 9,000 lb camping trailer with no issues. Do yourself a favor and look at the Titan and you might walk away with a great truck and more money in your pocket
I just picked up a used 2021 pro4x fully loaded with everything you can have equipped and got this for 43k compared to 51k where it was a month ago with about 26,000 miles. this is My first real truck and I must say, for the value, this is way more then I ever wanted compared to a used 2019 f-150 xlt. I do wish they offered a larger gas tank size to increase range but overall, fantastic truck so far
I just noticed the side mirrors auto adjusted to the rear wheels that is pretty cool
I was hella mad that I bought a Honda Civic brand new 2019 if I knew I liked off-roading before I would of got the titan no question
It really is a solid truck. Nissan is a poorly run company and has squandered an opportunity to sell 100k/year like toyota and enjoy a solid profit maker
renault fucked it up. They were comparable to Toyota/Honda up until Renault joined in.
trucks are just way to expensive now a days. this truck will be best used in 3 years when it cost half as much.
It will still have plenty of life left in three years.
@@TheShootersBay my frontier is 2004 and still works fine and also looks fine .......
@@eloyex My 2008 Frontier still works fine as well even with 330,000 miles on it. And the paints held up pretty good even with all the scratches and dings Ive put on the truck. Only have one tiny rust spot over the right rear fender about the size of a dime, its kinda amazing to me considering that im pretty rough on my truck and the only time it gets washed in its life livin in Indiana is when it rains lol.
He means it is best to buy used 3 years out because it will be half the price. Also, people need to know how to use ‘too.’ Do they not teach this anymore? Too expensive.
3 year use cost uppper 40s, new cost lower 50s don't really see any saving
12:54 Just press CAMERA to switch through views, in reverse, there will also be a full screen backup view that gives you enough resolution (actually it's not resolution, it's simply the size of the image that can be a bit on the small side) to see what you need to see. And that user error with those mirrors...dang mate...how can someone who earns his living doing car reviews NOT know how auto mirrors work?!?
Turn the mirror adjustment switch to either the left or right and the mirror will stay where you want it,when in reverse.
Really good review and listing of features and limitations. But I would have liked your opinion on whether you would recommend buying it give the lower price compared to F150 and others.
My attainable dream truck
The auto mirror adjustment when reversing can be turned off by simply turning the adjuster knob to the center setting rather than leaving it on right side mirror or left side. If you're going to climb rocks, you'll need to turn off the traction control, that's why it wouldn't keep backing up. The lack of lane departure correction is because it still has rack/pinion steering not computerized steering...which I prefer, though others may not.
@Tubewatcher501. You sir seem to know the Titan well as Ive been reading your comments👍 You dont happen to have a Titan youtube review do ya? Ive currently got a 2008 Nissan Frontier 4x4 crew cab long bed SE that I bought in 2013 with 60,000 on it. It now has 330,000 on it and its been the best most reliable truck ive ever owned. My previous truck was a 2001 Toyota Tundra 4.7 V8 Limited so I know a thing about reliable trucks. You think the Titan could live up to having a great reliability reputation? Thinking of maybe going for a Titan when my Frontier makes it to 400,000 as I might want a bit more work space and towing capability. But if the Titan can last, work, and play as hard as my frontier has then Ill just get another Frontier because I know the Frontier is an awesome truck.
@@duncdunc76 I don't have a review vid but I absolutely do believe it can last the long haul. My buddy has had his titan for about 2 years and put well over 160,000 mi on her and she's held up really well with zero issues. I'm not sure about the new 2021 models transmissions as they are have yet to be proven but the 7 spd is solid and like I said the interior has stayed intact. Mine is doing as well as any other Nissan truck I've ever owned, but I only have about 6000 mi on mine so far. Took her on a road trip about 8 hr drive and my wife even said "It rides really well...better than my sedan" I think they've got what it takes to last.
You definitely know what you’re talking about! Well said!
Thanks for another great review! WHY does Nissan only make pro-pilot assist available on their lower end cars? It works better than Toyota's and way better than Honda's lane keeping systems. I have driven all repeatedly. It's the only thing keeping me from buying a new Murano. I've had two Muranos, love them. Serious question, why?
So, as I understand it, the Titan and I think the Frontier are still running with old fashioned power steering pumps, not electrically controlled. So, that’s why it can have adaptive cruise but not lane centering assist.
@Cory Saddler This is what I learned as well. 2 years later, still haven't changed them.
I have this exact model, and having many trucks previously like Silveradow... :P Ford 150's respectfully .... For the value of the tag vs options and safety and performance, I couldn't be happier. Some down sides as stated in this video Camera quality does suck straight up. Pedal to tire has a slight lag.. so jumping onto pavement from dirt to catch a gap takes a little more patience, but when she goes she eats. Gas milage from Colo too Indy hauling 4k lbs avg us 16mpg doing 75-85 mph. Interior is the real selling point in my OP... love it. Cooled crotch feature is pretty well.. cool. The step in the back is really useful and the 120v in the bed is a beast for tool/ lights and useful off road and camping for sure. The body style is eye catching and honestly 13th on that list does not give this truck justice.... should be in the top 10 for sure. Much love my truck guys, go take one of these out for a spin and see what you think...
I have the 2023 version of this truck and I think its a superior value for the price. Quite a bit less expensive than a comparably equipped F150. It is an old school truck platform with a bunch of tech squeezed in.
Love the subie x-wing shirt!! Where can one find that?
It was a limited-time Blipshift offering.
I’ve had a few Chevys and Fords, and I think this is a good truck....
Half of the settings you call annoying, you can turn on/off through the in dash menu. You obviously have a hard on for a smaller truck, which is why you don’t test any of the things that matter in a full size truck.
Lifted my 2015&2013 titans and have not had any trouble
Lock the rear deferential too!
If you dont want your mirror position to change, put the mirror adjust toggle in the center. Also, my dealer told me that you shouldn't use 4 wheel high on dry asphalt. Only on gravel, rain or snow.
It looks nice. The interior is definitely nicer than a Silverado, but thats a very low bar. Its pricetag doesn't do it any favors and I wonder if they can match the domestics with incentives. Its not really competitive with towing/payload stats or acceleration. Not sure who this is for. It does sound good though
Got my SL for $43,000
Warranty is best in class. 5 year 100k power train.
Greetings from Brazil.
I live in Canada and Nissan has announced it will not be selling the Titan here next year. Do I go for one and enjoy discounts or wait for the new Frontier (probably a more manageable size)
If you can get a steep discount go for it. I mean over 10k off MSRP
Mazda BT-50 & Titan are the best pick-up trucks .
I say he had enough room to reverse and be able to turn.
Did you turn off the driver assist/alert in your little trail adventure when you had to back out? I bet the reason you had it to the floor and it didn't want to move is it will try to prevent you from backing into things. It seems to intervene powerfully in reverse. I have a '23. Coming from a 2019 Ram 2500 and I am so much happier. I had a 2007 Nissan titan and it was the best truck I ever had- very happy to be back in another one.
Maps from the 90s huh? 👌👌
My dream truck 😝
They stopped selling these in Canada because of poor sales.
Getting stuck in 4wd low on a little rock is kinda disturbing. 4wd low is kinda like a last resort, when I was stuck in my ford explorer in alot of snow I put it in 4wd low and gave her hell and got out.
Didn't turn off traction control.
@@tubewatcher5012 with mine when I put it in 4wd low it automatically shuts off the traction control and can't turn it back on. Idk with the titan.
@@bigpoppa1992 Yea, common sense says that is exactly what should happen, but unfortunately it is not the case with this particular vehicle.
I really want one! truck prices are just awful now so I wait..........
So, I drive a 2018 Tundra CrewMax TRD Off Road, which I would consider a direct competitor to this truck. There's just something about the Tundra that makes it a more desirable truck than the Titan. Oh, and it's cheaper, too, when considering similar equipment specs.
Correct and Reliability.
Titans often have huge factory and dealer incentives. I dont know how the Tundra compares, but you have to take into account those types of differences. I love both trucks, and think they are both underrated. Titan is nice having some more substantial updates like the new 9-speed transmission (fingers crossed it's a good one).
All I gotta say is drive the Titan. I'm shopping for a titan pro4x and most dealers have 2020s listed for around 50k so they are a steal.
Not where I live. Tundra was more for less and looked outdated inside. Also no locker.
Great truck, no doubt! Unfortunately, too expensive! Prices need to drop down, below a 3/4 ton.
I'm a Nissan Fan and would love to have a Titan but damn, 60K and it's not even the XD Version.
Got my p4x xd for 52... Has every option
@@timbrown6278 52 out the door? or plus tax title and fees?
I spin around a 21 pro4x in tighter spots than that with no problem
My Titan Pro-4X is the best truck best vehicle I ever owned! Great features! Love it!
I don’t own a PRO-4X. I have an SV. I was looking for value. I’m not brand loyal I’m interested in price and value and Nissan did that for me.
i dont like drop in bed liner, if sv had the option for spray in liner then I would get an sv as well.
Why Kia , Hyundai , Skoda , Suzuki & Shubaru don't develop pick-up trucks ? 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
Brand recognition and loyalty in trucks is a big deal. Nissan dumped their marketing and we saw what happened...and they make good trucks (from a Ford guy).
I had a Malibu with those auto position mirrors... Turned them off pronto... I get why they do it so you can see parking lines but come on!
All you have to do is turn it back to the center he will not do that
If you took the traction control off the truck would have backed out of the rocks much easier would have lifted out no problem.
hey will you be doing a video with the ram TRX?
We’ll be testing it as soon as it arrives in the Seattle fleet. No date set yet.
I like the Nissan. It's what im looking for for my needs.
11:50 - 12:40 Austin powers trail edition
Very nice
The smaller crew cab? That looks full size to me.
The Titan is a Beast !!!
Jumped back in 2021 Pro
After a week of ownership I'm not super impressed, it's like Nissan built a great truck then turned everything down.
Sensors drive me nuts, lack of light switch in bed, like you putting foot to the floor and the truck refuses to move. How can you have that much power and not move. I feel like they neutered the power heavily in different scenarios. Nav or voice control is bottom of the list.
For pure value it's the better buy as long as you can handle not having full control and sub-par electronics.
IMO all issues can easily be fixed with just software updates.
I'm going to harp one more time on power. This truck should blow the tires off and without a doubt be a mid 6 second 0-60
They just killed the initial power.
0-60 shouldn’t even be a unit of measure in a truck. What’s wrong with this generation?
I like it but 60k is a bit much..it would need to be a lot less for me
I see them going for 50k on the lots.
@@scott8238 nobody pay MSRP for Nissan products
@@TheShootersBay no one smart pays retail for ford ram or gm either
I have an old tundra 2000. It’s awesome but it rattles and there are a few annoying things about it. I want something newer but idk about the technology. I’d rather just have a key to start it. I don’t want my mirrors to move at all unless I move them. I hate all the technology. My friends cars are always beeping and nagging. I can drive mine without a seatbelt lol. I think the technology will drive me nuts.
