Bought my 24 Titan XD last September and love it. Love the fact that it doesn't have that stupid cylinder on and off crap. This truck isn't trying to be anything but a truck!
I got a 23 nissan titan pro-4x!! I love it!! MSRP was for $59k and walked out the door at $34k. Traded my 2010 Tacoma and I honestly should have bought a Nissan a lot time ago!! Toyota holds nothing to Nissan!!
Great review as usual Ben - I'm one of the people who scooped up a 2023 Titan Pro-4x back in the summer and have yet to regret a single thing about the truck - price was more than fair (still high, but with 0% interest it blows any of the big 3 out of the water), features are all nice and familiar without gimmicks, and the bones of the whole thing are just well laid out and proven at this point, unlike the big 3 who feel the need to do a redesign of the oil-pan every 2 years... Shame to see them going, but like you mentioned, when you look at the sales #'s it's sad but makes sense. Part of me hopes that the Frontier tries to keep the spirit of the Titan alive somewhat, but we both know they're fairly different models at their core for a reason.
Just picked up the same truck in deep blue pearl, a 2023 end of year sale. Prior to my purchase, I had been researching trucks since earlier last summer and for the price and what you get, the big 3 don't compare. To get leather, I would have to move up to a Lariat or Laramie trim and spend an easy $10K+ more. And a 3/4 ton from the big 3? Forget a bout it, you'll need to bring a Brinks truck full of money. Didn't really need an XD to pull my 2,600 lb boat on a 900 lb trailer but I wanted the Titan boxes and would rather have the 6.5 ft bed, my current '09 Frontier has the 5 ft bed and that has been my biggest gripe, come to think of it, with 215K miles on the Frontier, really my only gripe. That and my Frontier is a RWD. May keep them both. Thanks Ben.
I bought a ‘21 XD Pro4X and use it to tow a 6000+ lb travel trailer (and deal with winters worst days). The extra 800 lb and foot of length, esp the 3/4 ton frame dispatches towing ‘squirreliness’. You certainly can tell when wind hits an 11 ft tall trailer or a huge box truck passes fast, but it’s small potatoes kinds of effects compared to a half-ton. STABLE TOWING. And appreciated for that!
I test drove an almost identical one a week ago. Great driving truck and a lot more value for the $ than the big 3 or Toyota. The 5th wheel set up is basically useless, it doesn’t have the payload capacity for 95% of 5th wheel campers. Don’t compare this to a 2500, it’s not even close in terms of capacity. With all that being said, I loved the truck. Just needed the dealer to be a little more aggressive on negotiating. Just like with the Xterra… Nissan and consumers won’t know how much this is missed until it’s gone. But same story - low volume sales and not enough investment in new innovations or looks.
@@scott8238 just because it can, doesn’t mean you should. Once you calculate the hitch weight and the weight of people and “stuff” in the truck. You will find a in most cases you are over the posted payload capacity of the truck.
@@andrewb981Nissan downrated the truck, it’s got bigger brakes than a f250, the gooseneck hitch is rated for 30k, the 1st gear is a real low gear so you can pull hills no problem, it’s got load range E tires. Hotshotters use this truck and tow 15-17k daily on a gooseneck.
Love the xd. Only suggestion is one move the column shifter to the center console. Two take the organizer out that’s under the back seat. I would rather have a flat area below for hauling. For those that like it offer as an option.
I have this exact same truck (2023) in pearl metallic blue, but with the monitors in the front seat headrests and the kicker boom box, all the other options are identical. It was one of the last 2023 the dealer had on the lot. My understanding is that the 2024 is the same truck. The $69K sticker price is misleading, I purchased my truck during the Christmas/End of Year sales and got a fantastic deal on my truck. For what I paid I would have had to settle for a slightly higher priced Big Horn Ram or an XLT Ford with the lower trim level from the big 3. I'm upgrading from an '09 frontier that has 215K miles and has been trouble free.
My 06 frontier timing chain guides went out at 100k miles, sent 500 to get it fixed, mechanic failed so i sold it for 3k .. next guy fixed it for 100 bucks
I like the Titan XD for the pulling power and 6' bed but wish they offered a bigger fuel tank for longer runs. The is no 6' bed on regular Titan unless you get a King Cab Model but still does not have a bigger fuel tank
Is it true that the rear doors hinges on this model opens wider than the others non XD models ??? Pls need and a swear to see if is posible to swap the hinges on my reg pro4X; thanks.
Sad to see it go as it was a underrated truck but Nissian didn’t put enough effort in to make it competitive with the other manufacturers, came very close to buying one myself in Canada until it got cancelled here back after the 2021 model year.
key practical difference between XD and regular Titan is 6.5 foot bed for XD instead of 5.5. It has a 5 yr 100k warranty. The XD also for some reason doesnt have power folding mirrors.
got about 4K on mine. super quiet cab and feels really solid. my ONLY complaint would be...I need a bigger gas tank. I live in Texas and the tank empties quickly. Dallas to Houston is almost a full tank. My 23 Tundra was full of rattles and waiting for the engine to blow was not for me BUT it did have a BIG gas tank. If you really want to know how big Texas is...check how many miles it is from texarkana to el paso.....
I'm not sure. Just finished rebuilding my '04 ram 2500 cummins. This titan has same payload, a couple thousand less towing, but the biggest issue is the axle ratings for me. That's before we get to the fact that this loaded P4X weighs 200 lbs. more than that SLT Laramie. Looks like the price of this compared to new rams is the selling point, & whether you really need the capability of a half ton or 3/4+...
Ben, although not directly related to this Armada video, I have a question about the IRS section 179 expense deductions for 2023 they change in 2024. On a recent video, I recall you mentioning why trucks with a GVW greater than 6,000 pounds get afforded some preferential tax treatment for 2023 they disappear in 2024. I realize that you are not a tax advisor but was just hoping you could elaborate a little more on this point for section 179 expenses for 2023 and if buying is better than leasing or if it doesn't matter. Thank you and Merry Christmas to you, your wife, and your little baby girl!
My only concern is longevity of parts. Nissan is notorious for ending parts production after 10 years. It happened to my QX80 where they could not even get suspension parts after 10 years, and I had to downgrade to the Armada suspension to even drive it out of the dealership. I sold it after that knowing what was to come parts wise.
Depends on your needs. If you tow a lot and over 10,000 lbs, go for 2500. If not, go for Nissan. Price alone and the 0% interest is an icing on the top and the specs too. I’ve owned a 23 p4x XD and love it.
Please someone help me here ?? I owned Silverado 1500 2020 v8, 2021 ram 1500 v8 I’m thinking to go with the titan 2024 should I do it ???? Is worth it Between Silverado and ram Silverado won my heart so far
Have a Titan XD platinum and it’s the best vehicle I have ever owned. Nissan needs to reverse there decision on these so I can buy a new one in 2 years .
Ben Hardy I think I no why Nissan is cancelling titan the titan doesn't have the same smaller engine like ford & gm & also the titan doesn't have the HUD display
They don't advertise it, they let it get old before updating it. They always update to current standards, not future standards. They don't make the halo "look at me" truck. This truck is great. I own one and love it. But nobody else even knows what it is.
Hey there, ypu mentioned towards the end that "the Titan is more reliable than the Undrs or anything the big 3 put out," could you elaborate on that? Is this just referring to the naturally aspirated engine, or are you pulling from some other info?
@@Icutmetal XD is this 😂 emoji Back in the early 2000s the term “rawr xd” was fairly popular on the internet especially around the emo scene and many memes went around saying that rawr xd is I love you in dinosaur But all that really matters is a truck that has XD on it is pretty hilarious
Nissan need to redesign the car it's old and make different styles of engine 3.0_ 3.5._3.8._4.0_.4.2.liter. Engine options.15 inch touch screen updated technology . and different suspension and option for styling and nismo version 1till version 5 .800bhp
It’s a great looking truck. My problem is I just don’t trust anything Nissan makes anymore. Two of their engines are falling apart (1.5l 3cyl and 2.0) and under investigation. And their transmissions are notoriously crap. Nowadays, if soemthing is actually affordable (cheap) there’s a reason
@@panchoviaHere’s the thing…you won’t spend $70k on that Nissan (you’re an idiot if ya do…) and published towing capacities of half ton trucks are fuzzy math at best. The XD is not a true heavy duty but it will tow with much more stability than any half ton…even the almighty F150.
Really I think this truck is just a good truck by a brand with a very bad reputation at the moment. It just doesn’t compare to the big 3 whatsoever. Tech wise, engine options, capability
Crappy color they are just trying to appeal to the Military veterans that have served in the Middle East I don’t like and this guy doing the video is racing against him self I am having difficulty following this guy he needs to slow down

I recently bought a 2018 Nissan XD with the Cummins in it 4 months ago. First Nissan Titan I’ve owned and I absolutely love it. Sad to see Nissan get rid of a great product. If Nissan wasn’t so lazy at there marketing the truck would be a great competitor. I solely blame Nissan for this. Also the Cummins is a great engine. Just like any diesel now days if you don’t know how to drive it or maintain it than yes it will be unreliable. As far as mine goes it’s my daily driver and it now has 105,000 miles with zero issues. The only complaint I have with my truck is the wind noise is a bit loud but other than that I love the truck. Not sure what I will do when I decide to get a different truck now that these will be obsolete.

I bought a 23 Titan XD just like the one in your video, what a wonderful truck!
$69k for a gorgeous truck other manufacturers are charging $80-90-100k for. Wish Nissan had held the line and kept it in production.
Its because they so stubborn to upgrade their interior...especially the dashboard
You can get them for about 10 grand less than that price

Great review as usual Ben - I'm one of the people who scooped up a 2023 Titan Pro-4x back in the summer and have yet to regret a single thing about the truck - price was more than fair (still high, but with 0% interest it blows any of the big 3 out of the water), features are all nice and familiar without gimmicks, and the bones of the whole thing are just well laid out and proven at this point, unlike the big 3 who feel the need to do a redesign of the oil-pan every 2 years...

5 years/100k warranty is also pretty nice. It shows they are confident it will last
