2016 Nissan Titan XD: "The Other Truck" Full Review and Test
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 20 เม.ย. 2016
- I was excited to check out this new Titan. I haven't spent a lot of time in diesel pickups so I wanted to know what all the fuss was about...the fact that this was the top of the line Platinum Reserve model didn't hurt either!
As always expect a unscripted, amateur review that you as a consumer can appreciate.
Thanks for watching.

Nice i have an XD Pro-4X out in Edgewood NM, Absolutely love it! Tow 2-3 horses and 6 big bails in the bed with ease. Best value in my opinion by far!
6'5" bed not 6'4", utility track system is a must have, factory sprayed bed is excellent, hydaulic tailgate is amazing ( nissan invented and copycated from by others) amazing truck!!! drove 2005 titan LE king cab for 11 years, only issue one rear axle seal.. bullet proof truck...bought the new xd diesel pro4x luxury pkg. hope it's as good as the first generation
I pick up my Titan XD Pro-4X later this week, t has about 80,000 miles (I'm a little late to the party). Curious how well yours held up and if you still have it?
your reviews are excellent. keep up the good work and review more cars/trucks!
Thanks so much! I'm a busy man, wish I had more time to review and edit.

I watch you reviews seance almost a year, I really like it and I like how you test the cars and what you took about... God bless you and thank you for everything
I think that the new Titan has influence from Ram, Ford, and GM. It's not a bad looking truck and will definitely have a place in the market. I'm not a Nissan guy, but I'm looking forward to seeing these on the road. I do believe it will be a just like it was for the redesigned F-150. It might just be my location, but it was a few months before I started seeing them on the roads and not at the dealerships.
Well you were a bit off with the “they won’t have a problem selling them” Cummins edition is gone now. I love mine, it’s nice having something different than every other truck in the lot, runs good, looks good 👍
Glad to see you back at it and great review! I might get one, but a 2017 model...i really don't like buying first year vehicles...
Thanks for watching!

Thank you for the video... really liked your non-biased opinion. Was a great video. Also nice to see a fellow New Mexican! I live in Deming. The view on the outside looked very familiar.
Great review Greg. I would never buy one of these but your reviews are still very interesting.
thanks for watching!

these days I hear more about catastrophic failure on the diesels specifically the early ones
I test drove a tian and the salesman said there will be no discounts on these. My 2015 ram 2500 slt with a cummins, was nicely equipped and stickered at $57,800. I paid $49,000 after discounts. When I built a equally equipped titan i was at $52,000 So i believe they may have dropped the ball on pricing. The only thing the nissan did better then my ram was ride smoother, but it also can't tow 17.500 lbs so there's a trade off. To add I can get 20-21 mpg on the high driving under 70 mph. 14-15 around town with a average of 16-17 mpg. So i decided it wasn't worth the trade. Nice truck but to heavy for its capabilities, mpg are to low and they pricing is to high beings that they will not do any discounts. Maybe after the 2017's come out it they will discount them
+Gabriel Iannozzi (Boostaddict79) the Ram drives like a buckboard wagon though
I know lol, I said the only thing it did was ride better and it's only only empty. With my trailer or a load the ride is actually really good in my ram with the coil springs. But yes the ride is stiff unloaded. Plus with coils my rear doesn't skip around in turns with bumps
Gabriel Iannozzi they are already taking 12-14k off. Way cheaper than the big 3.
4:52-Please add that the 'hump' increases overall cab stiffness and rigidity.
I drove one of these and was super impressed. It drove real nice, and as as a Nissan Owner I can attest, in five years it will still drive great unlike the slop you get in the steering of the "domestic" counterparts. It's a solid truck. Copied or not, Nissan really did their homework and like it or not, they put effort into this truck and imo did a much better job than the competition who basically "restyle" their front ends but do nothing for ergonomics.
thanks for sharing!

Nissan Titan XD has problems with driveshaft. The problem is caused by a "resonance frequency" that occurs at speeds above 75 mph. Vibrations caused by a condition that occurs in the power train systems at speeds above 75 mph and continued operation causes the transmission and driveshaft components to fracture. The problem is unnoticeable until it causes damages and the truck quits moving while driving. Also, truck can roll away if parked without the parking brake engaged.
Not that I don’t believe you. But can you explain how you know this plz. I’m totally a car guy.
New mexico huhgreat!! I am here as well.
Great review! As well as the acceleration issues you had, I test drove the new Titan about 2 hours ago and had the same issue and a few more. Now idk what was causing this, but I noticed it took a lot of effort to accelerate, but it would also hop a bit. I checked to see if the parking brake was on, and it wasn't. I explained it to the salesman and he didn't know. Overall it made acceleration a bit scary, and I just ended the test drive within a block and a half. Another issue I had was the drivers position is not good for someone of my height, 6"4. The seat wouldn't lower enough to where I could clearly see out the windshield and the curve in the windshield blocked so much visibility due to the slope at the top of the glass and I just felt closed in and didn't feel very comfortable. Blind Spots are also very bad in the truck, and no matter how much I adjusted the mirrors, the passenger mirror just did not give a good view and didn't make me feel comfortable changing lanes. I drive a late SUV, a large truck... and a Volvo station wagon... so I know how to drive big vehicles, but this was something I will not buy. I was looking forward to the test drive though :(
Excellent review.
thanks so much!

That is a good looking truck,my question is can it carry a standard Lance camper in its bed with a overhead queen bed.
Great, realistic review.
very informative. my personal favorite is the GMC sierra. I have question about the 2014, 2015, and 2016 GMC Sierra SLT models. What are the major differences you noticed on the models. I'm trying to get one at the end of the year and was wondering if I should spend the extra cash on the newer models or try to find a 14/15 SLT with lower mileage. I'll definitely be keeping whatever model I do get until it blows up lol so just FYI.
The newer ones have a 8 speed compared to the old ones. In 2015.5 they switched to the 8 speed
Thanks for the upload! Great video!
nice review mate!
Such a fine truck that. ....sure want one.
+John Grytbakk .......love that huge grill and front. ....manly.
Very good review!! 👍
I don't understand why everyone says Nissan copied Ford on the design. Nissan introduced the F-Alpha platform in 2012-2013, production in 2014 (Titan). 2014 Ford F-150 sure looked a lot like the Nissan.
good thoughts, thanks for sharing.
-Greg
It's nice but for the cost, you could get a well equipped equivalent from the big three and still have enough left over for insurance and gas
not quite equivalent as I explored in my video, but not that far off either.
Thanks for stopping by.
-Greg
So you’ve never actually compared real world pricing then, huh?
Yes man
great work
Nice review
thanks stopping by!
-Greg
It's not very safe either. Looks awesome but can't pass the IIHS Small overlap.Really disturbing.
Do the honda pilot
one thing i would ask if you don't mind is how do all these do in a parking spot. would i be okay if i parked up front or should i look form something in the back. thanks and love what you are doing.
to me...crappy. I hate parking these things. You do get used to it...kinda!
-Greg
fun, thanks for the info
any chance for the gas version?
Good review! In addition to Ford, it looks like Nissan borrowed heavily from Ram. Ram has the fold out platform under the rear seats and cargo boxes built into the sides of the bed. Overall I think Nissan missed the mark on the timing of the Titan. The Frontier hasn't changed in 11 years and needs an update BAD. Nissan could have came out with a "lighter duty" version of the Titan first, updated the Frontier, then released the Titan XD.
+BG Customs Because Ram last president Fred Diaz went to nissan in 2014. Theres lots of RAM influence in the including the cummins
+Gabriel Iannozzi (Boostaddict79) That makes sense.
Can you see over the front while driving? It seems like the front is just way too long for some reason
That's how all trucks are long front ends.
+tyler boyer yeah but they don't look as bulky as this though. Maybe it's just me
+yiyangcheng that's true they don't but every manufacture seems to be going that way. Ford Ram and GM
Well the Nissan was an epic fail and be honest with you I would never choose Nissan for three less grand over Dodge Ram with the straight six Cummins turbo diesel to me it’s a huge difference
You dont really have any idea what you are talking about. Very cute that you think the wood trim is sexy. I always wondered who actually pays sticker for a truck like this, now I know.
Plus, he talks with questionable hand gestures when driving. Limp wrist. Lol
The big economy comes when towing heavy stuff.
Very nice truck but I prefer the regular Titan coming this summer.
It is smaller lighter and will go like stink.Since 2004 the other Truck manufacturers have been copying Nissan.
thanks for chiming in. I'm hoping to drive the non XD too.
-Greg
I'm sure it's a great truck, but the styling is just hideous to me. Not a fan of the Tacoma redesign either.
bro dozer. good one.
Tail lights look EXACTLY like F-150
+Mally Mal And they are BOTH ugly...
+sdushdiu everyone has their own opinion.
Mally Mal
Yeah, dumbfk, exactly why I expressed mine.
+sdushdiu is your life that miserable to where you're on the internet calling people "dumbfks" for fun? Do you get a rise out of this or something? Out of all the things to do in life, you choose to argue with a man because you feel your opinion is that important that you have to force it upon me? C'mon man, life's to short that shit, I honestly don't give a damn what anybody thinks, if it makes me happy, I'm fine. Maybe you should try that.
+sdushdiu enjoy your life man.
those are terrible numbers compared to half tons.
thanks for watching.
-Greg
Gallup Journey Test Drives Thanks for making the video! Still feel like nissan missed the mark though. I think the half ton truck buyer willing to put out the extra dime for a diesel will want fuel economy that is better than the gasoline competition to support their purchase.
