Been enjoying my 2017 Titan for over a year now and it's the best truck for me. I got out of a 2014 Silverado for it and I have completely forgotten about that boring Silverado. Ive gone mudding and still haven't gotten stuck. Go Nissan!!
Here's my experience. It's different not everyone has one of these like the American trucks. It's very reliable it's near the same 5.6 from the old Titans which were known to almost never go out hence "endurance v8". The truck is solid feeling. The exhaust sounds very nice stock. The design overall is very cool with the front taken from a warriors Helmet. The best mpg I get is set a 23mpg which is quite good compared to the old like 13mpg. The truck feels like it's got a lot of muscle and power in reserve. No issues whatsoever. The screen is kinda small compared to other trucks but I don't care because my old truck didn't even have a screen so this 7in screen is great for me. While it was expensive I got my pro 4x here brand new for 41k US dollars which really isn't that bad. Overall it's a great truck and I love it.
Regis Riley did that truck come with the navigation system? I just got a new Titan 2019 SV with the midnight edition For 42600 before tax US in Philadelphia. Seems like I overpaid
Pick up my new Titan pro4x with the luxury package this coming tuesday. What an awesome truck. Mine is full white in colour. My wife tells me it felt like a muscle truck when driving.The exhaust tone has a real nice rumble....good review.
I own 18 Titan SV. I love the overall package. Not a lot bullshit options that I'll never use. My favorite thing about the truck is the 5.6 engine. Very easy to work on. No cylinder deactivation. No small engine. push the crap out of it with turbos. It pulls my 5k camper through the Rockies like a champ! I tend to be a firm believer in less is better.
Great video...You're an awesome speaker. I now drive a 2006 Titan SE that I really love. It's never failed me and tows our RV trailer, 4,700 pound flawlessly. Best part is that it's paid off! I've only 87,000 miles on because it really is a gas hog. Your video...really makes me want to trade it in for a 2017. Thanks for a great review. Maybe the prices have gone down some since.
I agree with Henry, yours is the BEST review of the 2017 Titan that I have seen yet! (Yes, I've watched quite a few!). Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! For showing us a great review of this awesome truck.
I'm a titan owner since 2005, first truck was 5.6 king cab LE, now 2016 xd pro 4X diesel luxury. Improvement on the nav screen and for me the seeting are not really the best... i get a sore back driving mine ! Couldn't live without the utility track system and factory sprayed liner. Only drawback are the dealerships are horrible, especially the Sudbury Ont. Dealership, i'm also in the market the buy an SUV in the next 3 to 4 months, but will not consider Nissan because of this. Great review
I had the previous version of the Titan since 2011 and had very few issues with it, no warranty claims until recently and that was emissions related and covered. First off the fuel economy of my new truck is a lot better than the old and on par with Ford and Gm V8 motors in the 350 plus HP class. The ride is far better than any chev on semi rough surfaces and the resale will be more. To those who love their Fords, know this, I would have prefered to own a Ford but the thought of having paint blistering off a newer truck kept me from committing and we all know how paint quality affects resale. I don't know where the idea that the Titan is expensive came from but I priced a FX4 with similar options and the difference was minimal. In fact with my trade of the 2011 Titan and incentives that Nissan had resulted in the Titan being 9k cheaper than the Ford Fx4 out the door. Did I mention 5 year bumper to bumper? Far superior truck to old Titan except for underseat storage compartment, I like a flat rear floor. Great review FW
Great review! I own a Gen 1 Titan, and to be honest I will likely not be buying a Gen 2 Titan for one reason, no sunroof. It's a huge oversight and while I am happy to hear they said it's coming, I may not be able to wait. Of all the reviews of this truck I have watched I would say this one is either a tie for number 1, or close #2. Awesome work!
I actually quite dislike when manufacturers include the climate control into the infotainment system. I want buttons and knobs, especially when your hands are cold they are a lot more user friendly.
Oh, I agree... I like switches for the climate control but the temperature read out could be incorporated into the infotainment system, not as an entirely separate panel.
I also agree. Keep the controls seperate. Spend your time looking out the windows...not lamenting how much you want to be looking in. Besides...I think 99% of people will not use navigation and continue to use their phone.
Great review. Just picked up a titan xd PR. Replacing a f250 platinum diesel. In terms of family use way better. In terms of fuel economy way better, 13.8L/100km @ 110km/hr. But ergonomics suffer. The drivers side temp control is behind the shifter when in drive. The infotainment system doesn't seem to allow for verbal temp control. To the best of my knowledge doesn't have auto temp control. Transmission at low rpm is lazy. I actually thought I was breaking down going up a hill but was just a lazy shift. On slow moving hilly road the transmission would shift eratically and mad my wife feel slightly car sick. On the other side great on the hwy. I only post this so others like me will see. Again, great review. I will subscribe
Rumour has it, Nissan is doing a quick mid season front fascia change for this truck? Any news from the inside on the that? I understand they don't wanna talk about it, as they want to sell whats on the lot, but I'd be super po'd if I buy one (currently looking) then have them change the front end to something a bit more palatable. I do like the truck, drove one, and when compared to the Gm 5.3 which is also in the running, the Titan won hands down power wise. But the front hasn't sold me 100%.
Very good video. I see these on dealer lots in my part of South Texas, but I'm not seeing them on the road yet. Might be my next truck. Thanks for the review!
I love your reviews...thank you! I would love to have these reviews comment on the headrests, or lack of head rests in the center seats. Only Toyota and Ford have head rests in the front middle seats. Several manufactures, like Nissan and GM are lacking head rests in even the center middle rear seats, which is a huge safety concern for those of us with larger families that need to use this seat for our children.
Detailed and honest review as always Paul! Also, King Cab is not larger than the Crew Cab you reviewed. King Cab is Nissan equivalent to Ford's Supercab with the backwards swinging door. Dumb naming scheme by someone at Nissan. Will you be doing a review on the 2017 Honda Ridgeline anytime soon? I think that truck is really amazing value for the money, and more than enough truck for 90% of truck buyers in Alberta.
Of course, the King Cab is shorter! I totally forgot about that. Thanks for the reminder and for taking a look at the review. Hoping to have the Ridgeline next month. Stay tuned.
idk why so many ppl bag on the new t look so much so okay yeah the lower base model is blah but this package is absolutely awesome looking. Just look at that angle in the beginning!!
Awesome truck! very happy they included a Locking Diff. just need to add that sunroof. would like to see an option for a 6.5 ft bed on the half ton model, maybe an option for a bigger fuel tank as well.
Shame Canada lost out on these awesome trucks. My 2021 Titan Pro 4X is the best truck I've owned to date and Ive owned all the big 3 garbage. Not how much you can tow but how safe you can tow.
Idk.. I only bought Nissan trucks since 1989...everyone of them have been rock solid from the 1989 single cab hardbody to the 2017 Titan sv 4x4 cc now.
I wish they would put more power in the truck. Especially considering how much more physically larger it is than most other other 3/4 and 1/2 ton trucks. I'm also not a fan of electronic push start, and would like them to include the option to continue using a key. After all, more electronic components usually means more issues to worry about down the road.
@@djayt1215 Okay. Allow me to be more precise in my statement, to appease your sense of anal retention. Yes, all start systems are electrical in nature, in that they use components to initiate a charge to get things going. However, what I do not like is the integration of more "tech" components, which lead to greater/faster wear, when a mechanical option such as a turn key would last longer.
Thanks for the great, in deep review! I bought a 2017 Titan Platinum pretty much base on your review! Love this truck but my platinum in Edmonton AB didn't come with E-locking tailgate and rear step even it says in 2017 Titan brochure under platinum reserve package trim. I am waiting the reply from Nissan Canada since Dealer said those parts only available for later model even it says on 2017 Titan brochure and dealership have those parts in stock! Bad customer service IMO
Really like the common sense information provided by this reviewer. Am thinking about the Pro 4X king cab. Plan to have a pop up truck camper and want the truck as a daily driver and to fit in my garage. Most all 250/2500s can't check those boxes. The other possibility is the F-150, which has better payload than the Titan but not as good as the Titan XD. Thanks!
I have had my 2017 Pro4x for about two weeks and love it. A few things that I would have done differently would be: mover the 2wd to 4wd switch. Its right at your knee and if you are on a bumpy road it tends to hit you on the side of your knee. You would think they would put running boarding on all the 4x4's? It does not have them. It a gas hog - I had the Armada before this and they all seem to do poorly with fuel economy. Other than that its a beast, it sounds incredible and I have gotten many comments from Tundra and Ford F 150 owners that its a great looking truck. I have not taken it off road yet but I am sure it will do just fine. Very good torque, handles very well for a 4x4.
I bought a pro4x 11 months ago and got 12grand off. I love this truck and I came over from a ram truck. I have not had any problems with the truck at all. I have changed alot of stuff on my truck with a couple more coming in the next month or 2. This truck handles great and was fun in the little snow and Ice we just had
David Miklo I bought a slightly used 2018 Platinum Reserve half ton last month. Only 4500 miles on it. Stickered at 56k, payed 36k. It was a trade in. I absolutely love the truck.
I have a 2017 SV. I love this truck but there are a couple things that bug me. When in drive, the shifter blocks the view of the mirror heat and rear defroster buttons. The mirrors imho, should have been pushed forward slightly and mounted at 90 degrees instead of slightly angled to the rear. The convex mirrors are too small and almost worthless and the extendable mirrors should extend further. I do not have good views when pulling my camper. I also think the rear doors should open to 90 degrees like my old Dakota. Large items are tricky to get in and out. I also am not a huge fan of the 2:93 rear end. I know they did it for fuel mileage but my fuel mileage isnt that impressive anyway.
Great reviews! I think nissan is making a mistake by pricing this truck so high. I like the truck and was honestly thinking of switching to nissan until I saw the price, even for the base model!
Nissan says they've been competitive with their pricing but I've heard from a lot of people who agree with you, Jake... they like it but say it's too expensive for what you get.
Great review. Like the SL best, but the Pro4X is pretty sharp. The ride of the 4X pretty civilized on the road? Interesting the 4X prices here seem to trend a little lower than the SL as well.
Hi Anthony, I find the Pro4X a little rough on the road. I didn't have a chance to drive the SL but found the Platinum Reserve trim a bit more composed. Thanks for watching.
I'm a F150 owner, 2016 Lariat, while Ford clearly blows the Titan away, you are totally right that the new offer from Nissan has come a long way. Front end design for the Titan is sub par and needs work. The interior is decent and your review covered that well, looked like a nice ride with the rear non flat load floor being a disapointment. While I love a V8, I way prefer a twin turbo V6, one of the reasons being as I do live in Quebec and we get frapped by the registration/license bureau with an annual engine displacement penalty, add that unfair nonsense tax grab by the government and after 5 years it amounts to a signficant amount that would have paid for a lot of fuel, so a 5.7L V8 gets punished here in Quebec. Good review and good start by Nissan but they clearly need to improve their looks and fix some deficiencies in the interior.
Nice review as always ! ; Was wondering if nissan still struggle to furnish their dealers with spare parts , a lot of complains on the internet are about this supply chain : / I'm looking to buy one here in europe but don't want to mess up if i can't get the parts that i need here : / Hard fight between the Tundra TRD pro and the Titan Pro 4X :/
That's an interesting question. I don't have an answer for you on this, though. Please let us know what you decide on between the two. Both great trucks for different reasons.
I am really disappointed Nissan did away with the Center Console shifter. Did you ask the engineers or spokesperson as to why they went back in history with the shifter on the steering column ?
Brian Thomas A console shifter is more useful when you need to gear down. Here in the mountains I'd rather just move it like a stick than have to do the stupid plus and minus buttons on the column. Even the most "manly" trucks like the Ford f150 Raptor have them in the console because you have more control and ease of effort.
I don't understand this comment. You remove the center console shifter put it on the column and now you have a console so big you can put a laptop in in. Friggen awesome.
With the Platinum version do not like the interior seating color combo. They should off the beige leather as is available in the SL version. And the price is way out of whack. $57k? Nope.
I found it to be pretty tight. And I mean, really, at this point you might as well call this an American truck, too. It was conceptualised, designed and built in the states - just like the Big 3.
The pricing on these are just Flacking Stupid. 65grand will get you the same model in a diesel without the luxury package. IMO this truck with leather should be tops 55-57k. Trucks these days are way over priced. Right now I saw a diesel with leather, 14k discount for 51or 52k. after discounts, this is a 48k truck, cuz u know chev/ford all do hefty discounts. I heard in Canada, back up Cameras are to be standard as mandated by law.
Yes, the sticker shock I get whenever I do a truck review is pretty solid these days! As for your back-up camera question, any vehicle after May 2018 will be required to have one... which is great news for something this big.
I feel like this truck doesn't have anything that sets it apart from the others. The Ford has those amazing ecoboost engines, the most towing and payload Ram has the Ecodiesel, air suspension, coil suspension, and ram boxes to set it apart. GM Has the most powerful engine option, mechanically very simple, dependable drive-train, the most fuel efficient V8s, and towing/payload that rivals the Ford. Toyota has their incredibly dependable workhorse engines that can take a shitton of abuse. Even from day 1 they hardly had any problems. Most people say "Don't buy the first model year of a new generation truck/car as they are unreliable" but Toyota proved them wrong. If they gave this something else, like a really great infotainment system (like Andoird Auto), or really amazing off road credentials, or maybe even a full on IRS. Just something to set it apart from the other trucks. None of the technology on it is new or innovating.
xXBurntBaconXx the only thing they can advertise is that they have a better warranty than anybody else, which you won't need if you have a truck that doesn't break in the first place!
That's a pretty personal choice. Although the Ram rates last in crash safety and the Chrysler brands just got slammed in the latest Consumer Report reliability survey: jalopnik.com/fiat-chrysler-brands-last-in-consumer-reports-auto-reli-1651337569
Nissan will need to have lower priced models to crack this market 1/2 ton pickup crew cab models start at 31,000 $ Nissan Titan only starts at 46,000 for a comparable model They are cutting themselves out of the main event They may get sales but it will not be many compared to GM FORD or Ram IT is a shame since the Titan is a nice truck Since Ford F150 is all aluminum 1.2 ton and you can get a nice truck for 42,000 dollars Nissan Titans are nice but rusty crusty steel can't compete with all aluminum Nissan should have used Aluminum body and floor Perhaps they have learned and the next Frontier comes with the 21st century vehicle material. Titans are flinty compared to the Ford F150 and feeble compared to the GM 1500 models The Titans are nice but lack in the most important areas. Longevity and value .this is why Titan will languish.
Its tough they are going for such a high Advertised MSRP to start. I don't know what they'll be changing hands for in person, maybe the same as a F150. I appreciate the previous Titan was very reliable and a class leader for many years, but its a tough world in Truck land. That being said a very limited selection of 1/2 and 3/4 ton trucks out there from Japanese, I'd like to see some Nissan build quality advertisement on why this is better then a Ram\Ford. Good review, I personally think they're really nice looking trucks and its great to have more options out there in the Full size market!
What a beautiful truck but the MPG just like Toyota is terrible in the V8 and Diesel. Even a FORD 3.5 Ecoboost gets better MPG. Nissan's diesel should have at least 25 MPG cause if you look back to FORD and GM in the 80's with 500 ft lb of torque they had 30 mpg's for 500 ft lb of torque. A 3.5 liter Diesel that they offer in Asia would be a better choice. A "C" class RV gets 10-15 mpg and thats a camper.
Thanks for watching, Stephen. Nissan says you should see 11-15 l/100 kms out of this truck but we were doing a little towing, a little offroading, the terrain is pretty hilly around that area of Quebec... and the result was an average of 16. But it sure had a great V8 sound when you put your foot down!
Family Wheels Oh it sounds wonderful, my neighbor bought one a month ago and it has sparked my interest. But for me I need a regular cab or a extended cab (I'm disabled & not just upstairs like the wife says I am either) I have a wheelchair that I have to either throw behind my seat or in the back bed. Yes I know its tall but I'm 6'4" on my right leg and 5'4" on my left leg. I haven't seen the reg cab yet locally but I hear its coming soon. I'll wait for it and maybe the V6 cause with my GM getting 10 l/klm for the 5.3 L I can't seem to go lower in mpg especially here with all these hills or Mountains as Albertans call them. My friend gets 16 L/Klm but we live on the upper level of Campbell River and its a 20 degree climb... sucks the needle empty.
on Saskatchewan freeways/highways best iv gotten so far was 11L/100k and I think that's pretty ok for a big 4x4 but more consistently gets12-12.5L. got a little over 15k kms on and mines the SV and its got normal tires. short trips are what's kills my mileage but from fill up i can get anywhere from 560-640km a tank with about 70% city driving. but in winter its closer to 470-520 depending on how often use 4x4 or how long you let it warm up. damn February this year was colder than -32c for 30 some days in a row. never plugged it in even on days when it was -50, she started but the engine light comes on and goes away when it warms up
I'm Canadian but I really don't get the whole liters per/100km...I don't get it I never have haha for anyone else like me epa rating is 15mpg city and 21mpg highway
Best review of the new Titan to date! Great work FW!!!
Great to have you watching, Henry. Thanks!

Yes, all start systems are electrical in nature, in that they use components to initiate a charge to get things going. However, what I do not like is the integration of more "tech" components, which lead to greater/faster wear, when a mechanical option such as a turn key would last longer.
I love push button. Keep your keys in your pocket and go. Never take them out.
Very nice video. Keep up the good work.
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the great, in deep review! I bought a 2017 Titan Platinum pretty much base on your review! Love this truck but my platinum in Edmonton AB didn't come with E-locking tailgate and rear step even it says in 2017 Titan brochure under platinum reserve package trim.
I am waiting the reply from Nissan Canada since Dealer said those parts only available for later model even it says on 2017 Titan brochure and dealership have those parts in stock! Bad customer service IMO
That's too bad. Good luck figuring it out and thanks for telling us!
Can I ask which dealership you got it at?
Really like the common sense information provided by this reviewer. Am thinking about the Pro 4X king cab. Plan to have a pop up truck camper and want the truck as a daily driver and to fit in my garage. Most all 250/2500s can't check those boxes. The other possibility is the F-150, which has better payload than the Titan but not as good as the Titan XD. Thanks!
Glad to help! Let us know what you settle on.
Utilitrac was on the 1st gen too.
daryl g Thanks for writing, Daryl. Good to know. Do you have this system on your truck? How do you like it?
Great review, thanks for the information.
I like the Titan just not more than every other pick up.
I have had my 2017 Pro4x for about two weeks and love it. A few things that I would have done differently would be: mover the 2wd to 4wd switch. Its right at your knee and if you are on a bumpy road it tends to hit you on the side of your knee. You would think they would put running boarding on all the 4x4's? It does not have them. It a gas hog - I had the Armada before this and they all seem to do poorly with fuel economy. Other than that its a beast, it sounds incredible and I have gotten many comments from Tundra and Ford F 150 owners that its a great looking truck. I have not taken it off road yet but I am sure it will do just fine. Very good torque, handles very well for a 4x4.
what mpg are you getting? Look at a 17 titan v8 gas and im liking it. Can u switch to 4H on the fly. Also whats the max speed on 4H? thanks!
I get 11 in the city and about 15/16 on hwy.
Jack Rose Why would you want running boards on a 4x4
Going to pick up my 17 gas platinum reserve today. 10 grand off the 58 grand msrp.
Yes, I rarely bring up incentives but you can seriously drop your costs at this time of year. Enjoy your new wheels!
I bought a pro4x 11 months ago and got 12grand off. I love this truck and I came over from a ram truck. I have not had any problems with the truck at all. I have changed alot of stuff on my truck with a couple more coming in the next month or 2. This truck handles great and was fun in the little snow and Ice we just had
David Miklo I bought a slightly used 2018 Platinum Reserve half ton last month. Only 4500 miles on it. Stickered at 56k, payed 36k. It was a trade in. I absolutely love the truck.
good job with the review. I would add a larger screen.
Thanks for watching, Rafael. I agree, the infotainment system could be beefed up a bit.
I have a 2017 SV. I love this truck but there are a couple things that bug me. When in drive, the shifter blocks the view of the mirror heat and rear defroster buttons. The mirrors imho, should have been pushed forward slightly and mounted at 90 degrees instead of slightly angled to the rear. The convex mirrors are too small and almost worthless and the extendable mirrors should extend further. I do not have good views when pulling my camper. I also think the rear doors should open to 90 degrees like my old Dakota. Large items are tricky to get in and out. I also am not a huge fan of the 2:93 rear end. I know they did it for fuel mileage but my fuel mileage isnt that impressive anyway.
Great real world thoughts. Thanks for posting!
Nice vid. Awesome truck
Great reviews! I think nissan is making a mistake by pricing this truck so high. I like the truck and was honestly thinking of switching to nissan until I saw the price, even for the base model!
Nissan says they've been competitive with their pricing but I've heard from a lot of people who agree with you, Jake... they like it but say it's too expensive for what you get.
Jake Speers There really not selling well in the US. Should be able to get a hell of a deal. I'm talking up to 10K if you keep the options simple.
Great review. Like the SL best, but the Pro4X is pretty sharp. The ride of the 4X pretty civilized on the road? Interesting the 4X prices here seem to trend a little lower than the SL as well.
Hi Anthony, I find the Pro4X a little rough on the road. I didn't have a chance to drive the SL but found the Platinum Reserve trim a bit more composed. Thanks for watching.
I'm a F150 owner, 2016 Lariat, while Ford clearly blows the Titan away, you are totally right that the new offer from Nissan has come a long way. Front end design for the Titan is sub par and needs work. The interior is decent and your review covered that well, looked like a nice ride with the rear non flat load floor being a disapointment. While I love a V8, I way prefer a twin turbo V6, one of the reasons being as I do live in Quebec and we get frapped by the registration/license bureau with an annual engine displacement penalty, add that unfair nonsense tax grab by the government and after 5 years it amounts to a signficant amount that would have paid for a lot of fuel, so a 5.7L V8 gets punished here in Quebec. Good review and good start by Nissan but they clearly need to improve their looks and fix some deficiencies in the interior.
Great comments, Troy. I didn't know there was a displacement penalty out there. That changes things quite a bit, doesn't it? Thanks for watching.
It certainly makes the Ford 3.5L twin turbo a smart option, not to mention the excellent power output of that engine.
Yes, I have tested that engine before and it's a very impressive all around choice.
Japanese turbo? Maybe. American turbo for long term reliability? No way man.
I would buy one but mpg is so bad as Toyota Tundra . One question? Why the price in Canada Tiutan in way more expense then Tundra ? Very good review.
Jhon777 007 well if you tow yes but if you don’t tow let’s say 2019 Titan sv midnight edition 18 mpg combined not tow or off-road
Jhon777 007 Canadian dollars
@@AlejandroP1980s And Tundra got nothing with Canadian dollars.
The Utility Track system is not new to this year. It was new in 2004. My 2009 has the same set up.
Thanks for pointing that out, Cameron. Must've misunderstood in the product presentations.
Nice review as always ! ; Was wondering if nissan still struggle to furnish their dealers with spare parts , a lot of complains on the internet are about this supply chain : / I'm looking to buy one here in europe but don't want to mess up if i can't get the parts that i need here : /
Hard fight between the Tundra TRD pro and the Titan Pro 4X :/
That's an interesting question. I don't have an answer for you on this, though. Please let us know what you decide on between the two. Both great trucks for different reasons.
I need your opinion/review on a 2017 Nissan Maxima Platinum! I
I like scenic view, mountain ocean. Where is this?
This is in rural Quebec outside of Quebec City. Thanks for watching, Ali.
Agree .. best review 👍👍👍
Nice review.
I am really disappointed Nissan did away with the Center Console shifter. Did you ask the engineers or spokesperson as to why they went back in history with the shifter on the steering column ?
I didn't think of asking this Mark-Anthony. I imagine they opted to do it so there'd be more storage in the centre console. Not a fan?
Family Wheels Center console shifters are for cars. Column shifters are for trucks and men not girly men like that guy above.
Column shifters are what make a truck, A TRUCK. If you want a console shifter, buy a effing Toyota. *insert eye roll here*
Brian Thomas A console shifter is more useful when you need to gear down. Here in the mountains I'd rather just move it like a stick than have to do the stupid plus and minus buttons on the column. Even the most "manly" trucks like the Ford f150 Raptor have them in the console because you have more control and ease of effort.
I don't understand this comment. You remove the center console shifter put it on the column and now you have a console so big you can put a laptop in in. Friggen awesome.
With the Platinum version do not like the interior seating color combo. They should off the beige leather as is available in the SL version. And the price is way out of whack. $57k? Nope.
lucky it starts at 80 in canada
can you shift on the fly to 4H? Whats the max speed on 4H?
55
how horrible is the steering and suspension compare to the American ones?
I found it to be pretty tight. And I mean, really, at this point you might as well call this an American truck, too. It was conceptualised, designed and built in the states - just like the Big 3.
I want the Nissan Titan package that would tow a trailer and still looks beefy on the streets
I wish I wasn't a broke ass college student.. I'd love to get one of these things.
Well done
Pro 4x should have a better ride because of off-road shocks .....
Front end like a freight liner.
nicey!
The pricing on these are just Flacking Stupid. 65grand will get you the same model in a diesel without the luxury package. IMO this truck with leather should be tops 55-57k. Trucks these days are way over priced. Right now I saw a diesel with leather, 14k discount for 51or 52k. after discounts, this is a 48k truck, cuz u know chev/ford all do hefty discounts. I heard in Canada, back up Cameras are to be standard as mandated by law.
Yes, the sticker shock I get whenever I do a truck review is pretty solid these days! As for your back-up camera question, any vehicle after May 2018 will be required to have one... which is great news for something this big.
Family Wheels BTW. Great Review. even from Quebec....:P
C Steele so right now you can get 25% off from Nissan and another few grand from dealer. So at least 30% of MSRP on these trucks.
I feel like this truck doesn't have anything that sets it apart from the others.
The Ford has those amazing ecoboost engines, the most towing and payload
Ram has the Ecodiesel, air suspension, coil suspension, and ram boxes to set it apart.
GM Has the most powerful engine option, mechanically very simple, dependable drive-train, the most fuel efficient V8s, and towing/payload that rivals the Ford.
Toyota has their incredibly dependable workhorse engines that can take a shitton of abuse. Even from day 1 they hardly had any problems. Most people say "Don't buy the first model year of a new generation truck/car as they are unreliable" but Toyota proved them wrong.
If they gave this something else, like a really great infotainment system (like Andoird Auto), or really amazing off road credentials, or maybe even a full on IRS. Just something to set it apart from the other trucks. None of the technology on it is new or innovating.
The 5.6 v8 is very reliable
xXBurntBaconXx Obviously you're a Ford groupie!😂
Jay Man how'd you get that if he gave the pro's of 4 different brands?
Ha whoa thats a good question man. TBH it didn't show the rest of his comment as I am seeing now on my computer vice versa on my phone.
xXBurntBaconXx the only thing they can advertise is that they have a better warranty than anybody else, which you won't need if you have a truck that doesn't break in the first place!
This or a Ram 1500 ?
That's a pretty personal choice. Although the Ram rates last in crash safety and the Chrysler brands just got slammed in the latest Consumer Report reliability survey: jalopnik.com/fiat-chrysler-brands-last-in-consumer-reports-auto-reli-1651337569
Yea truck shopping is scary these days lol ..Could buy a lemon ...lol ..
I love this truck, but needs to be more price competitive. Hella overpriced
IT needs a ext. cab longbed Truck.
I heard exactly the same thing from a friend of mine in the trades - a deal breaker for him. Seems strange Nissan didn't offer that configuration.
Maybe they don't know about it yet.
Nissan will need to have lower priced models to crack this market
1/2 ton pickup crew cab models start at 31,000 $ Nissan Titan only starts at 46,000 for a comparable model They are cutting themselves out of the main event They may get sales but it will not be many compared to GM FORD or Ram IT is a shame since the Titan is a nice truck Since Ford F150 is all aluminum 1.2 ton and you can get a nice truck for 42,000 dollars Nissan Titans are nice but rusty crusty steel can't compete with all aluminum Nissan should have used Aluminum body and floor
Perhaps they have learned and the next Frontier comes with the 21st century vehicle material. Titans are flinty compared to the Ford F150 and feeble compared to the GM 1500 models The Titans are nice but lack in the most important areas. Longevity and value .this is why Titan will languish.
Its tough they are going for such a high Advertised MSRP to start. I don't know what they'll be changing hands for in person, maybe the same as a F150. I appreciate the previous Titan was very reliable and a class leader for many years, but its a tough world in Truck land. That being said a very limited selection of 1/2 and 3/4 ton trucks out there from Japanese, I'd like to see some Nissan build quality advertisement on why this is better then a Ram\Ford. Good review, I personally think they're really nice looking trucks and its great to have more options out there in the Full size market!
My Texas Titan SV is falling apart ! Can’t handle the country boy lifestyle. Can’t wait to get it off my hands.
What a beautiful truck but the MPG just like Toyota is terrible in the V8 and Diesel. Even a FORD 3.5 Ecoboost gets better MPG. Nissan's diesel should have at least 25 MPG cause if you look back to FORD and GM in the 80's with 500 ft lb of torque they had 30 mpg's for 500 ft lb of torque. A 3.5 liter Diesel that they offer in Asia would be a better choice. A "C" class RV gets 10-15 mpg and thats a camper.
Thanks for watching, Stephen. Nissan says you should see 11-15 l/100 kms out of this truck but we were doing a little towing, a little offroading, the terrain is pretty hilly around that area of Quebec... and the result was an average of 16. But it sure had a great V8 sound when you put your foot down!
Family Wheels Oh it sounds wonderful, my neighbor bought one a month ago and it has sparked my interest. But for me I need a regular cab or a extended cab (I'm disabled & not just upstairs like the wife says I am either) I have a wheelchair that I have to either throw behind my seat or in the back bed. Yes I know its tall but I'm 6'4" on my right leg and 5'4" on my left leg. I haven't seen the reg cab yet locally but I hear its coming soon. I'll wait for it and maybe the V6 cause with my GM getting 10 l/klm for the 5.3 L I can't seem to go lower in mpg especially here with all these hills or Mountains as Albertans call them. My friend gets 16 L/Klm but we live on the upper level of Campbell River and its a 20 degree climb... sucks the needle empty.
Family Wheels Ah Charlevoix, home of my ex wife.. Le family Lirette from Saint Urbain, also home of the famous wrestler Andre The Giant.
Really?! There's a piece of trivia I didn't know!
***** A ex wife hahaha I wish I ONLY had one.... 3 ex wife's total.
It looks like the Ford trucks, I guess if you're going to copy someone, you might as well copy the best.
WHO IN THEIR RIGHT SO CALLED MIND IF THEY EVEN HAVE ONE PRESSES THE THUMBS DOW ??????? JUST IGNORANT HATERS, WEAK AND POOR TRASH
Its an ugly truck
Ugliest truck ever made!
on Saskatchewan freeways/highways best iv gotten so far was 11L/100k and I think that's pretty ok for a big 4x4 but more consistently gets12-12.5L. got a little over 15k kms on and mines the SV and its got normal tires. short trips are what's kills my mileage but from fill up i can get anywhere from 560-640km a tank with about 70% city driving. but in winter its closer to 470-520 depending on how often use 4x4 or how long you let it warm up. damn February this year was colder than -32c for 30 some days in a row. never plugged it in even on days when it was -50, she started but the engine light comes on and goes away when it warms up
Good to know, thanks for the commenting!
I'm Canadian but I really don't get the whole liters per/100km...I don't get it I never have haha for anyone else like me epa rating is 15mpg city and 21mpg highway
