A naturally aspirated 32V V8 is hard to beat. The 5.6L VK is one of the best engines ever made. It's amazing motor en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nissan_VK_engine
Great video, I agree with all of it. I've had 5 Titans, a 2010 King cab, 14 crew cab, an 18 & 19 XD cummins and my current 2023 Pro4x. 2023 is the most comfortable truck I've ever driven, fuel mileage is good for what it is. My only cons are the radio screen connectivity can be spotty and it generally seems to have some gremlins, and the transmission is not to love. I think the trans issues are more related to it being a 9 speed, seems to search a lot at lower speeds. If anyone reads this btw, don't bother with a cummins.
Thanks. Dang 5 Titans! Thats awesome! You are definitely the expert on Titans, past and present. Ha. I agree that the 9 spd transmission has some kinks to work out. My truck has its moments when I accelerate. It seems to be inconsistent when trying to accelerate. I hope your 23 P4X treats you well. Thanks for the comment! From all us Titan owners we appreciate your Titan loyalty. 😂
Just got a White 2024 Pro-4X Titan, coming from a 2018 Tacoma. It felt like getting into a school bus. Love the engine and love the space it provides my family. Also an awesome review!
Thanks! I bet that coming from a smaller truck, driving the Titan is like driving a Tank. Ha. I love sitting up and looking down at other drivers. Lol. My family of 4 + a dog loves going on road trips in the truck. It definitely has space for everyone. I hope your Titan treats you well.
I just purchased a 24 Nisan Titan Pro4x. I love the sound of the V8, looks and the comfort level on long trips. This truck is a beast. Bought it with a 5 yr 0 % interest rate, 9,500 discount and on top of that I get free oil changes for life. 5 yr/100,000 mile warranty gotta love that too.
I own a 2021 Nissan Pro4X, I really appreciated this truck last winter (2023) when we got 3 to 4 feet of snow at my house in Las Padres National Forest just north of Los Angeles. The Titan was able to just drive over the snow without any problems. Even in 20 degree weather the truck started on first try, and performed better than expected. Recently I had to tow a 7000 pound trailer from Petaluma, California to Burbank, California, mileage average about 11 to 12 miles to the gallon. The Titan had no problem going up the Grapevine on I-5, in fact I was passing cars going up the grade with ease. I definitely recommend this truck and some dealers like AV Nissan offer a 200,000, 20 year warranty for any new Nissan. Nissan offers probably the best warranty of any manufacturer in the business.
That’s great to hear stories like that. I believe a lot of people are on the fence about Titans because they don’t really know the capabilities because they’re not marketed well. I think it’s by word of mouth people really know what the trucks are capable of. What I tell people is that the 5.6L engine has been around for along time and can pull it’s fair share and accept abuse. I haven’t heard about the 200k mile warranty, that’s wild! That tells me Nissan will stand behind its product. I’m a believer and couldn’t be more happy with my truck. I’m glad your truck is treating you well. Owning a Titan in CA has to hurt at the gas pumps. I lived in San Diego for a few years with a Altima and Maxima and cringed at the gas pumps. Lol. Also, to your point about towing I also towed 7k lbs and averaged 11-13 mpg.
Uh, oh. They baited you in, huh? lol. You got to let me know if you decide to buy one. I hope you find a good deal on one if you decide to go with the Titan.
I agree. The amount of options you can get in this truck with 0% interest and best in class warranty is definitely wort considering for any truck buyer. IMO.
I have recently picked up the same truck, same package and options. I'm coming from an SV and a diesel Pro-4x XD before that. I missed the pro-4x package with the SV a lot more than I thought I would. So, here I am, back in a pro-4x. I 've owned 4 Titans all together, had a first gen as well. I'm not sure why I've stayed with them for so long. I would guess it's just the fact that I know what I'm going to get with a Titan, aside for packages and options my 2023 performs very similar to my 07. Yes, I know nissan's paint isn't awesome, I know the interior bits are on the cheap side. It's probably not as refined as some of the competitors. But to me it feels and acts like a traditional truck (just more comfortable). I've never had a serious issue with any of them. (didn't keep the diesel for very long, loved the truck but the cummins and transmission scared me, a warranty doesn't mean much if parts aren't available and you get rid of all of your diesel mechanics). I have 500 miles on the new one and so far, it's what I expected and I'm good with that. Another great video man, keep up the good work!
You are the Titan expert! Ha. I’m impressed that you’re a repeat buyer. I agree with your statement of it may not be as refined as the competitors but the truck is simple and it works. Although, it does have cheap material its not as bad and doesn’t take away from the functionality of the truck. I hope the 2023 P4X serves you well. Enjoy and I’d be curious if you run into any issues.
I appreciate you and your comment. Im glad the video helped. I have to know if you decide to purchase a Titan and which trim/what you purchase. I plan to post more on the Titan soon. I hope you find the truck you want.
@@jamarcusjoeI just watched your video and appreciate the review. I, too, am considering purchasing a Titan. The decision between a Pro 4X and a Platinum Reserve is a tough one.
@@johnbyrd6476 have you purchased yet? I think its preference. I love my P4X. I've traveled short and long distances comfortably with a family of 4 + 🐕🦺. I love the fact I can go anywhere with my truck and not feel as bad if I get a minor scratch or ding. The PR is a luxury truck in my eyes and I would want to be sure its always pristine. Ha. With 2 younger kids and dog, the P4X is ideal for me. I hope you find the one you want. Let me know what you get!
Thanks for the solid video, appreciate you sharing the good, the bad and the ugly. I'm shopping for a truck now before the V8 becomes extinct and there's just not a lot out there like the Titan.
I’ll say there’s nothing like a V8. If you can find a good deal on anything V8 go for it. The Titan is V8 is simple and strong for a half ton. The deals on Titans right now are pretty good but make sure you find something you like and can afford. All trucks have their quirks it’s what you are able to deal with in the long run. Thanks and I appreciate you. I hope you find the truck you like.
Great video. I just picked up a '23 Platinum Reserve and just passed 1,000 miles. I love the warranty, leaf springs, column shifter, non cylinder deactivation, V8 and the non Auto-Stop-Start. BTW, Nissan was giving 0% for 60 months. I just wanted a good truck. Great video. Thank you for giving an honest opinion. Thank you good sir.
I hope your '23 PR treats you well, and I'm glad you were able to take advantage of the 0% interest rate, especially in today's market. Everything you mentioned is why I love my Titan. Im a simple man, and Nissan keeps it simple. Im approaching 3 years with my truck, and I can honestly say it is a good solid truck. I appreciate your comment, and congrats on the 1K mile milestone. Ha. Here's to the next 100K miles!
Very nice truck bro. I had a 2013 SL 4X4 and loved it! Traded in and picked up a 2017 platinum reserve 4x4. Got 14k for my 2013 with 120miles on it. No major issues on my '17 just bought 4 new tires FIRESTONE DESTINATION LE3. rides like its brand new. Overall, I love it. Yes, I would buy a 3rd titan.👍
I appreciate it fam. I will have to buy some new tires soon. I’ll have to check my options. I love hearing folks that stand by their Titans and willing to buy another. I hope your ‘17 treats you well.
No problem! I hope you get the Titan you want and that it treats you well. You gotta let me know how you like it when you get it. Thanks for the comment.
I love my 2017 XD P4X. 91000 miles and no major issues. I use it pull a tractor, fifth wheel trailer and a pontoon boat. I used to have a Lance overhead camper on it and it handled it no problem. I’d buy another one!
I have a 2021 pro4x in white, loaded like yours but no running boards. 46k on it i love it. Great gas mileage on the stock generals. 24 was the highest i saw going to Arizona from texas. Comfortable for a family of 5. Halls great amazing offroad and i daily it. No real cons for me except no real aftermarket bumpers but thats about it. Definitely would buy another. Great review.
Im glad that youre enjoying your Titan also. Seems like you and I are almost tied on mileage. lol. I just hit 42K and shes still running smooth. I plan to keep mine for the long haul, despite all the news of Nissan discontining the Titan. Thanks!
@@jamarcusjoe yea nissan is dropping the ball with that news. Titan is a great truck i definitely will keep mine and maybe add another 2nd gen or a 1gen
An easy fix for damaged plastic panels, vinyl wrap, I did pretty much the same thing to a door on one of my cars and that is how I repaired it. Nice thing with that repair, you can pick any color or pattern you like and most those plastic panels are easily removed. Makes doing the wrap on it really easy.
Thanks for the recommendation. I may have to look into the wrap. It's something I've thought about in the past but never really gave it too much thought. If I decide to wrap, I'll definitely vlog it. Ha.
@@jamarcusjoe I just got a new Titan myself and i'm tall like you as well, so my knees sit right in the same area. Seeing you have this issue has made me think about wrapping some of the interior panels before I can damage them and get annoyed.
I want to buy one new! These are so underrated but I need to buy a house before I buy one. I’m happy to see an idea some someone who lives their titan!
I would agree. Buy your house first. Keep your priorities in align with your goals. The Titan will be there after and hopefully at a better price after you buy your house. Yes, the truck is highly underrated in my opinion. Still in love with my Titan!! Thanks!
@@conservativetexan2289 haha. Yep. I guess this is what they call adulting. Priorities my friend. When you buy the house make sure you buy a big enough garage to fit the Titan. Lol.
Right now is a horrible time to finance anything,let alone a house. Just keep saving your $$$$$ until we get a real president and a better economy with lower interest rates. You'll save bank if you wait.
Despite all the news, I plan to keep my 21 fro the long haul. Ill be that guy driving my V8 Titan well into 2030. lol. Im optimistic that Nissan has a plan to replace the Titan. Lets hope anyways.
Was watching the video you did a couple of years ago and guess what? You uploaded an update, just 2 hours old...lol. I also have a Titan, mine 2017 SV with all options incl tow package. I tow a 28 feet Toy Hauler usually around 6K, no problems to date...knock on wood. The main con on the entertainment center was solved with a Phoenix Automotive PX6 and an upgraded rear view camera. Enjoyed your video, new subscriber!
Lol. Looks like you fast-forwarded to the future. Lol. It's good to know these trucks can tow something as big and long as 6k lb and 28 ft with no issues. I agree the camera need a complete overhaul in the next-gen (if there's a next gen). I appreciate you subscribing. I don't consider myself a RUclipsr but ill continue to talk about the Titan. Thank you.
I want one. Everyone I talk to says go with the tundra. But tundra is having issues . I want the 5.6 with no cylinder deactivation and no start stop, column shifter , locking diff and the fender audio. They are going for a good price too.
I don't think you'll regret getting a Titan. All those things you mentioned is why I selected the Titan. The Titan is simple, and I’m a simple man. I can deal with quirks. Get one!
@@teke237 like I tell folks, the Titan isn’t everyone’s cup of tea but the folks who love their Titans love ‘em. Im one of those people. Haha. You gotta let me know if you get one!
On my second Titan Pro-4x and I like the steering as is. My son-in-law has the Titan XD and loves his. The warranty is awesome, the price was great, and Nissan just gave me 0% for 60 months, which is unheard of. A fully loaded truck for under $60K beats every other manufacturer.
@@chrebetcrunch I agree with you. the pros outweigh the cons as you mentioned. The biggest pro is the warranty, even if the truck gives you issues the warranty should cover it. I haven’t had any major problems with my truck but the minor issues I did have was covered and they gave me a rental for a few days. Best of luck to you and your son-n-law Titans!
Like the video. Good comments. I am working on my 5th Titan now. Have loved them all. 2005 2WD S 85, 000 miles 2009 4WD Chrome Edition 185,000 miles 2018 XD Platinum 4WD Cummins, 110,000 miles (Chipped and broke crank)my fault. 2020 SV 4WD 48,000 miles(Great truck, but was a little lacking compared to the Platinum XD, and had cheap leveling kit added at dealer that made it ride rough 2021 Pro 4x Just turned over 75,000 miles and is a great truck. Other than what I did to the diesel, no major mechanical issues on any of them, no paint issues with any of them, and I washed them at least once a year whether they needed it or not. If I had unlimited funds, I would by a couple of Pro 4x models for off road and everyday, couple of Platinum XD 4WD models for traveling and towing, and a 2wd Platinum to lower and add a NISMO Blower. At my age, I would be set for life. :)
Yes! I want to be like you. It’s great to hear that you’ve had multiple Titans and no major issues and still would buy a couple more. You’ve had the gambit of Titans and could properly talk to each one of them. I think we need more folks like yourselves to share the success stories of the Nissan Titan. I appreciate you sharing your experiences/thoughts. I am more of a believer of the Titan seeing the amount of miles you’ve accumulated on your trucks with no major issues! I hope you get those 2 titans and put 100k+ miles on them, with no issues.
thanks for this review, I've actually been shopping all brands of pickup trucks and ive settled in on a titan, just trying to decide between pro 4 max and platinum reserve..but this video helped greatly
Thanks! I don't think you'll regret the Titan. The Pro-4x was more my style with the Luxuries and options of the Platinum Reserve. I don't think you can go wrong with either trim. Good luck!
You can definitely use some compound and polish on the scratches on the hood and you won’t even notice after. Give the whole truck a nice polish with a buffer and it will look new again.
I have a Nissan NV 3500 SL which is based upon the Titan. I also had the same issue with the camera that you described. However, I was able to fix it. I found the connection point and put dialectic grease on the connectors and then wrapped the connection with electrical tape. I have never had a problem since. I highly recommend doing that as you may find your problem going away.
Thanks for the advice. I will first have the dealership look at it and then ill take your recommendation. I appreciate you. How do you like your NV? I was actually looking at those for a family travel vehicle. My brother-n-law has one and is all about it. Im curious of your thoughts.
@@jamarcusjoe the NV is my wife's daily driver. She loves it and the kids do as well. We take a double seat out of the rear which still allows us to seat 10, yet it gives us plenty of room for cargo. Even the biggest SUVs just seat 8. We have five kids and they do not like sitting shoulder to shoulder, which is what they would have to do in another vehicle. The v8 engine in it is way more powerful than the Ford Transit. We bought it new and have 115k miles on it. It has been very reliable. Unfortunately they stopped making them in 2021, but you can always purchase a used one.
I am a newcomer to your channel and I am looking around for a pick up so far Nissan titan is the only naturally aspirated V8 that I know of. I love the options in the simplicity of the truck. Please keep us informed of pros and cons. Enjoy your channel.
I believe you can find some naturally aspirated V-8s in other brands but may be older year models. To your point about simplicity, is the reason I love my Titan so much. No start stop engine cutoff just raw on demand power with decent mpgs. I hope you find the pickup you want. I’ll definitely keep you updated. I appreciate you checking out my channel.
@jamarcusjoe The zipper-pocket issue is not the truck's fault. Every pickup has some amount of plastic moldings. Even metal trucks parts of yester year wore the paint of excessive rubbing. I'm currently in the market for a new pickup. I got my eye on a 2017 Titan regular cab w/ 8 ft bed. Wdyt...?
Thank you sir for sharing your honest mpg, I think you sold me on a titan! 😊 I'm just honestly getting sick of people showing off how they are getting single digits in other half tons towing under 4k lbs, forget about TFL getting 11 mpg with a Ridgeline towing 3k lbs 😑
No prob. You gotta let me know what/which Titan you decide to get. Ha. It's to be expected you are going to get poor gas mileage towing in a truck. I was honestly surprised that I got 11-13 mpg towing almost 8K lbs across the country. Good luck with your find. Thanks for the comment.
Nice video, I agree with you on the plastic in the interior- very flimsy and scratches very quickly! I had 2020 Tacoma and my 2023 Titan gets much better gas mpg. The infotainment system i like, i can stand Apple car play- Back up camera resolution is fuzzy, they could upgrade at the factory- not a hard fix But overall 100% I would but again!
Thanks! I can live with how the plastic is peeling now, but I can only imagine how it will look a few years from now. It’s still functional but aesthetically it’s an eyesore. Hopefully, Nissan updates/upgrades many of our complaints. We will see. I appreciate your comment.
@@jamarcusjoeDo ceramic coating from any premium auto brands found at your local Walmart auto store for wholesale prices. Just once a week the car needs a wipe down and cover the front windshield with sun deflector since consistent sun exposure will destroy any plastic material.
If I could do it all over again, I would’ve gotten the XD. I’m glad your Titan is still serving you well. How’s the ride quality comparison to your GMC? I’ve always had an appreciation for the GMC Sierras, specifically the Denali. How are you like it?
Ahh, I have a 2006 Titan XE Crew cab purchased with 4 miles on it, now 247,986 miles. This has been an excellent truck, many road trips. I have replaced a few parts, but over all, a great vehicle, would buy another one in a heartbeat. Just hate what most dealerships have done to the car market being so Greedy. Maybe we as consumers should order directly from the manufacturers.
That’s great to hear your Titan has treated you well all these years/miles! Praying for many more. I also hate the fact that dealership are marking up vehicles. Hopefully the market will decrease soon. Thanks for the comment.
Yea. That sucks, but maybe it'll be good news in the future. My conspiracy theory is that the Titan will come back as an EV. I'll take it one step further, it will be the premier EV truck. I can only hope. lol. Im with you, I'm driving my 21 P4X until the wheels fall off. I appreciate the comment.
@@jamarcusjoe I could totally see that! I went and visited our local Nissan dealer yesterday just to check out the Ariya, and that is definitely the future, weather people want it or not. 😁 I would be interested in that for sure!
I just hit 40k miles on my 2017 Nissan Titan Pro4X on January 4th of 2024. I love it! I use premium in mine as well. I don’t like how the suspension is supposed to be their off roading version but it’s not that great compared to Toyota Tundra’s TRD pro. The TRDs definitely know what off roading is about. I added an android tablet touch screen aftermarket console. It’s amazing 😻
Great to hear! ou hit a milestone mileage! My boss has a TDR Pro, and I can tell the difference in the suspension when I am in his truck. Maybe since I'm used to mine, I prefer the Titan over the Toyota. Im glad your upgrades are keeping the love for your truck alive. Ha.
@@jamarcusjoe Damn Titans are so underrated! I almost bought a TDR Pro until I drove a Titan Pro 4x. Preferred the ride, V8 power and that beefy sound of 8 cylinders. Wish mine had the moon roof thought that's so cool the way Nissan designed theirs for the newer Ttians. Once you have a moon roof it's hard to go without it.
@@amcacertified2038 Yes inded! Other than the marketing im not sure what Nissan couldve done to put this truck in competition with the Big 3. Oh well. The folks that have Titans knowhow underatted the Titan is. IYKYK I guess. Ha. I caught so much flack about having a sunroof/moonroof but its my daily driver so I love it. Youre right, i dont think im going without one. ha. Thanks for the comment.
@@chrischris9370 Yea from 2022 and up they do, but the 2017s didn’t, they only had LSDs. My 2017 Pro4X has it though. When 4-Wheel Drive LO isn't enough, the locking differential sends equal power to both rear wheels, which can help with traction and keep the truck moving.
My dad has a 2018 Titan XD Gas Platinum Reserve. His truck developed a ticking noise and I got on him to get it into the Nissan dealer. His truck has 45K. That 5 year 100K warranty saved him big time. 5.6 Engine 2017-2018 have low oil pressure issue in the #7 cylinder and this is common according to the dealer. They had to replace the engine with a new long block. Between parts and labor I think it was over $8K. Took 2 weeks to fix. Nissan only offered a 12 month 12,000 mile warranty on it. I figured a 3 year 36,000 mile warranty. Other than that its been a decent truck for him. Also he had the 20" chrome wheels replaced under warranty due to the chrome flaking off. He gets 13mpg but he doesn't drive it much and he has BFG ruggedtrail tires on it. This is my dads 2nd titan. 1st one was a 2004 LE crew cab.
It's good to hear the warranty worked out for your dad. I've also heard similar issues with the #7 cylinder issue, I believe it affected 2020 models and older. Regardless it was covered. No truck will be perfect but at least Nissan will stand by their products. Thanks for sharing.
@@johnbernacki6155 yep. 2024 is the last year. I keep saying that since Nissan is pursuing an EV future I think the Titan will reemerge as an EV. I’ll keep my V8 until then. Ha.
Awesome review! I bought 2023 pro4x non xd with out the sunroof 8 months ago and I get about the same gas mileage but I will try using premium for once to see if I notice a difference in power and mpgs. I also believe your door panels are covered under the bumper to bumper warranty and maybe you could find a protection film to put on the new ones?
Thanks! I’d be curious to know if you see a difference in mpgs if you switch to premium. The next time I get my oil change I’ll ask about the doors panels. Thanks for the advice!
@@nickturner4728 The times I've put 87 in it, I can definitely feel a difference in acceleration and mpg. The truck still operates normal, but instead of 17/20mpg it'll drop to 15/18 mpg. I'll stick with 91/93 octane until I can't afford it anymore.😆
@@jamarcusjoeI swapped over to premium only fuel in my titan pro 4x and it felt like a completely different truck. Drove so much smoother and I could feel the power difference. I filled up at a quarter of q tank yesterday and it cost $87 bucks. 😂
@@Matt-oj2kl For awhile I thought I was tripping. So many people told me it was all in my head and that premium fuel doesn't make a difference. Im glad you verified. I knew I wasn't going crazy. Although premium is getting closer to the $5/gal mark ill keep with 91/93 for now. lol.
I had a 2012 Pro 4X, and it was one of the best trucks I've ever owned, and I've owned about a dozen of them. Sad to hear they will be discontinued. I had the same experience with the 5.6L and premium fuel. You could feel the difference with a higher octane fuel. I averaged around 14mpg but man, that 5.6 ran and sounded like a nascar. It's one of the most fun engines I've ever owned. A proper 32 valve V8.
@@sinepari9160 that's great to hear. Most people haven't owned as many trucks as you. Your opinion holds weight due to how many trucks you've been around and for you to say the Titan is one of the best means something. I agree the 5.6 is a beast! I plan on keeping mine for the long haul for that very reason, the rumble and the reliability of the engine. Thanks for your comment.
I've always liked the Baja color. It's one of a kind, and you can spot it from a mile away. Im glad to hear you love it. Im at 60K miles and still love mine.
I hate that they are ending Titan after the summer of 2024. I have a 2017 SL, and it has been the best truck I have ever owned. I have owned Toyota, Ford, Chevy, and Ram. None of them stood up to my Titan in the means of reliability and warranty. I also average close to 19.8 MPGs city, and 23 HWY on regular fuel. My engine is well broken in just right with close to 70K miles. The only issue is the paint, as it is failing fast, with the clear coat having issues. For the value you get vs the others, it's a steal of a deal.
Someone such as yourself that has owned/driven the gambit of trucks and can say that the Titan is a good deal reassures me. I appreciate you sharing. Im finding more nicks on my Titan, and it's a bit concerning. With its quirks, im still a fan of Titan. I hope the next 70k miles give you no major issues.
Thank you for the insight when towing a Pathfinder behind you at 7K lb... Towing cars around would be the main reason I am buying a truck. 12-13MPG at that weight and having an SUV behind you as a wind sail versus a normal car is pretty good mileage!
My Titan handled towing 7K lbs like a champ! If you plan to use it for towing cars, I would go with the XD model. It's a solid platform for those types of loads. I recently moved again and towed a 4.5K lbs tandem axle trailer, and again, the Titan handled it with ease, even at 75 mph. Thanks for the comment.
I have a 2008 Titan with 130k miles I bought brand new. Other than normal wear and tear and some cosmetics I’ve NEVER had an issue with the power train. Hell I’ve never even changed the tranny fluid or done an engine tune up and it still runs solid! Just bought a 2024 pro4X 👍🏼
@@goatEyEz83 I love you hear it! I hope your new to you Titan runs as strong as your last. Im approaching 70K miles and still loving mine. I'm def keeping mine for the long haul. I appreciate your comment
Hey Jay, TITAN XD PRO 4X 2021 owner here. Great truck but I also had the random camera outage problem but got it fixed. Here is how I did it. Took it into the dealer under warranty and they ended up replacing the entire passenger side mirror assembly which included the camera, no issues since. Per them this has been something they’ve seen on not just the Titans but also some other vehicles like the Rogues. I was able to demonstrate the problem by putting the vehicle in park, hitting the 360 camera button and then if I opened and slammed the passenger door (where the camera was located) it would flicker and Fritz out. That was the piece of the puzzle that I missed. If I opened and closed the passenger door the camera would go wonky. Anyhow, it was replaced at zero cost under warranty. Hope you see this and can get it replaced under warranty also! Great video, sir!
I am glad that you were able to get it fixed. That's great news! Every time I bring it to the dealership and bring up the problem, they cannot replicate it, so they never do anything about it. SMH. One of these days, I'll get it fixed. I hate to say I have lived with it for this long, but it doesn't bother me when it does happen. I recently moved; the new Nissan dealership may be more open to helping me out. I appreciate your comment and help. I hope your Titan continues to treat you well!
@@jamarcusjoe the key for me was being able to consistently demonstrate the fault. Just randomly putting it in reverse didn’t do it because you know it wasn’t 100% of the time it would fail. I needed a repeatable failure. That said having some photos/videos of the failure plus being able to put in park with the 360 camera on and slamming the door showing how video cut out and was easy to consistently replicate when combined with the photo & video proof was to spur the dealership to act under warranty. They ended up getting a totally new passenger side mirror assembly (which included a new camera) and it has worked flawlessly in the several months since. I dunno where you are in the country but I went to Orr Nissan East here in Oklahoma City. Hope it helps!
@@Charles_And_Christina_H Yes, this helps! It may require me to sit in the Nissan parking lot and continue to put it in reverse until I can replicate the issue. I already have pictures and videos, and I have shown them. I am in Maryland now, so I'll see what this Nissan dealership says. Thanks again. I'll let you know if I can get it fixed.
@@jamarcusjoe just humor me and try this, my man. Put her in park and then hit the camera button on your dash to activate the 360 camera. Roll down your passenger window so you can easily see inside. Get out, go around to the passenger side, open and slam closed your passenger door. Does the passenger side camera flicker or fail? If so, there’s the repeatable proof. Opening and closing the door shouldn't cause the camera to go wonky, even temporarily. That plus the evidence showing what it was otherwise doing was enough to make them fix it. Also we found that when the camera was failing if you opened and then slammed the passenger door it would kick it back into working again. When I had that epiphany it was what gave me the idea of “hmm, let’s put her in park, hit the camera and slam the door to try and replicate the fault” and that’s what I came up with. A demonstrated repeatable failure that I could show them. You know how it is with mechanics. If you can’t get it to fail under their nose they are not gonna admit the problem exists much less fix it especially under warranty.
Thanks. Congrats on the Titan! I hope your new Titan treats you well into the future. Good choice on the Baja Storm color, If I could do it all over again I would've went with that color. Thanks for the comment.
Im a believer that if you take care of your vehicles, your vehicles will take care of you. I believe your Titan will make 500K miles. Examples like yours, give me the warm fuzzy my truck will last for awhile. Thanks for sharing!
Solid video. Appreciate your real world experiences and comments. Not buying until the end of 2024. Debating between a mid-size and a 1/2 ton to tow a small camper (2,900 loaded) plus hauling camping gear. Actually, I would prefer the quad cab with the 6’ bed. Just my wife and I. Don’t need a crew cab. I want more space for camping gear in the bed and topper. I will shop the Titan in addition to other brands. BTW, what is your payload? Thanks again.
Thanks! Putting myself in your shoes I would lean more towards a mid-size because a 1/2 ton for your camper would be overkill. On the flip side I would go with a 1/2 ton because of the versatility. You may want to tow something bigger. Also, the gas mileage on the Titan is not that bad compared to your midsize trucks. Definitely go shop around. I’m interested in what truck you decide to buy. My payload is 1142 lbs. the panoramic sunroof and running boards decreased my payload capacity. I hope you find what you want.
@@jamarcusjoe hey thanks for the response and sharing your payload. I have plenty of time to figure out what we want to tow our camper. We currently have a midsize SUV with a V8 that is rated to tow 7,500 lbs. It has been a great tow vehicle, but with nearly 160,000 miles, it will be time for something different by the end of 2024. I really want a pickup truck, not an SUV, for our next tow vehicle.
I've owned a 2006 LE KC back in the day loved it ... looking at a pro 4x tomorrow especially with all you get in that trim level its unbeatable.. these v8s are solid to
We have a ‘16 XD PlatRes diesel and wouldn’t trade it for anything. We bought it in ‘17 for a steep discount to make way for the ‘17s. Between that and trading in our ‘06 Titan we drove it off the lot for $31k. We were 5 years from retirement and needed a truck that would take us well into retirement. And it has worked out perfectly. It tows our camper and toys without effort and it handles everything AK throws at it. And without being in the shop all the time like our friends’ Big 3 trucks.
I’m glad your Titan is working out for you. Especially the diesel, hopefully it continues to treat you well. My opinion what you are doing is what most folks should be striving to do, and not going after the most expensive truck that will give you problems. I wish many people would realize that the Titan is a great deal and is comparable to the Big 3. Thanks for sharing, I hope you get more life out of your Titan.
Good video. Just my 2 cents, I have a 2012 sv.234k miles. It will haul and tow more than stated. We had a camper briefly. The salesman was shocked when we hooked it up after purchase. His comment " I have never seen a 1/2 ton that didn't sag. It was a 26 foot grand design.
@@TonyAdkins-dx5kt thanks! 234K miles! Impressive! The Titan is an underrated beast. I hope to keep mine as long as yours. I hope your Titan is still treating you well.
I agree with the comments on the personal user view. I've been flip-flopping on what to get coming from an '08 Armada LE. It's videos like this that damn near seal the deal for me. And then I watch a video on something else and think maybe that's what I want. The warranty and the sound of the V8 just keep me coming back to it. I test drove a '24 a few days ago and although I think my Armada is a little smoother ride, I think I would be happy with the Titan. I see sooo many positive comments on them I just don't think I'd be happy in anything less.
I appreciate the comment. The Titan might not be everyone's cup of tea, but it's worth test-driving and comparing. I was dead set on getting a GMC AT4 until I test-drove the Titan and looked at the price disparity. I've never regretted my decision. After 3 yrs and 58K miles, it's still going strong. You gotta let me know if you decide to get one. If you want more payload and towing capacity, check out the Titan XD. Good luck!
I read on some online forum of a Titan owner that put over million miles. 3 secrets: Amsoil oil change every 5k (year round). But any other oil brand synthetic 3k If not towing... Trans/differentials/Radiator/transfer case fluid every 25k If towing/commercial use... Trans/Radiator/Differentials/Transfer Case fluid every 20k (summer) vs 15k (winter due to salt residue). 91 recommended or 87 with fuel additive. Thats it. The truck will go a million miles on that V8 NA engine/transmission no questions asked. Walmart Auto Services can do the services for pretty cheap price.
That's impressive. I believe it! I've had 5 different NISSAN vehicles and they are the easiest vehicles to maintain. As long as you keep up with the routine maintenance schedule the vehicle will run. I plan to keep my Titan for a long time, no plans to get rid of it any time soon.
great review!!! I have 2018 platinum reserve 4x4 love the truck 70000km on it here in vancouver canada they are very rare truck and cant even buy titian here anymore,mines red and silver and i get lots compliments on it
I appreciate you! Im glad your Titan is still rolling strong. It's great to hear Titans up in Canada are doing well and getting the respect even though they are no longer sold. I hope you have many more years of compliments and no issues. Thanks for your comment!
It may sound concerning that 2024 is the last year, but Don't let the discontinuation sway you. As long as Nissan is still a company, you will still have availability to service and parts. Titan is a good, solid truck. But if you are still on the fence on weather to buy, I would lease the vehicle and have the ability to turn it back in after your lease if you see that Nissan Titan is not the way you want to go. Just a thought. I hope you decide to make the jump. Thanks for your comment.
I'm going to look at them, and if I see something I like and the pricing is right, I'll come back at the end of the for the kill 😁 Thanks for the encouragement.
I drive my 06 for my maintenance business. 288k miles with lots of towing. Same issues with painted plastic inside. But its rock solid work truck. My truck gets 12-15mpg as i use it. 16-16.5 on Intestate highway cross country w/ cruise set and bed covered. Towing a landscape trailer i get 8-10mpg so 12 loaded is good. Looking into a slightly used titan or xd for next work truck
I’ve noticed a lot of older model Titans used as work trucks. I guess that’s good to see and hear that they stand up work vehicles able to take the abuse. Wow! 288k miles and still going! That’s impressive. Hopefully you can find that used Titan, I’m rooting for you! Thanks for sharing!
Yea, I have an appreciation for the Tundra. Funny thing is my boss recently bought a Tundra, I tried to convince him to buy a Titan so that we can have Titan twins parked next to one another in the parking lot. He wasn’t having it and bought a Tundra. Ha. Thanks!
Thanks. Yep, SC humidity is no joke. Central TX humidity was non-existent. I’m definitely gonna have to get used to the humidity. Ha. If you’re thinking about buying go test drive one. I think you’ll be surprised. I’d be curious to know if you like it
@@jamarcusjoe Just test drove a 21 Pro 4 x today and the handling coming out of a 1st gen raptor is night and day... The comfort is really nice and I like it. Now I have to decide XD or pro 4x
@@JustinWilliams-u7c Yess! I’m glad you were able to test drive one. I’m a big fan of Nissans zero gravity seats. I’ve driven my truck long distances with hardly any discomfort. Remember the XDs mpgs will have slight decrease. Might as well get the Pro-4X XD version. Lol. Good luck!
@@jamarcusjoe I just texted the salesman and told him XD pro 4x and I'll be there. Hopefully everything will go through. You aint lying about the seats. I think that was a big selling point for me. I also like how everything is analog... a vehicle with a screen controlling everything is a disaster waiting to happen.
I have a 2019 Frontier Pro4x and am thinking of upgrading to the Titan. I want to like the F150 but have heard too many horror stories about it breaking down. IMO, the Titan is the most underrated truck on the market.
There are so many good truck options, including the F-150. I have heard horror stories about almost all the brands, including the Titan. I've been fortunate not to run into any significant issues with my Titan. I still love driving it. It's definitely an underrated truck. Have you upgraded? If so, let me know if you did.
I had a couple new trucks. If you do get a new one or even touch-up those chips, get a clear bra! I've had large rocks hit the front of my trucks and the clear bra really does help. Technology has gotten better for it.
To each his own, but I wouldn’t and don’t have that sunroof in my 2021 Titan Pro4X. Not a fan of sunroof’s. Great video, Brother. I have 78,000 miles on mine and don’t have any nicks on the paint and interior is still like new. 😎
The sunroof is definitely an option that’s not needed on a truck . I like the option but the fact it decreases my payload capacity is a con. Luckily, no issues structurally. I’ve heard horror stories of people with sunroofs. Dang 78k miles!!! Wow! Good stuff. I hope your truck stays in good shape. Thanks for the comment my man.
As a current owner of 2 1st gen titans that I constantly drive and after owning all of the big3, I definitely feel as if you can't beat the titan for value. I am definitely getting a 3rd generation 2020 and newer.
I have a 2020 Titan SL with 67k miles and despite them being discontinued in 2024 I will be keeping mine for the long haul. I haven’t had the issue with the camera yet, and fingers crossed I won’t😂.
Yessir, I don't plan on giving my truck up anytime soon. I just hit 54K miles this week and still rolling strong! I hope you stay camera issue-free. Ha. See you on the road.
@@snoopyfix2 thanks! Yea I’m sad to see them go, hopefully for now. Maybe they’ll comeback with something new/refreshed. Maybe a twin turbo version, which I’m not the biggest fan of. 🤞🏾
Your truck looks nice in the black. I got the 21 pro 4x in red and there’s a 13inch infotainment touch screen designed for this truck that I’m gonna get in a couple weeks.
I got a 2021 titan s crew cab in dec only 18k miles on it basically new.. had no clue about trim levels or anything else... my advice if your getting a titan go for the XD seems all the parts/aftermarket stuff was made for the XD .. getting parts/aftermarket for S model is pretty dang hard. On the positive side as the OP video poster mentions since I have a basic S model I get the most towing capacity and longer vehicle life span as there are less electronics to fail less bulbs to change etc.. .overall will get more life from the vehicle as less moving parts in general. My choices was this 2021 titan s which I got that had 18k miles on it or a 2017 XD with like 45k miles on it.. had I known anything about trim levels I would have taken the 2017 XD with 45k on it...not knowing anything about trim levels at the time I took the one with 18k miles on it that was leased to 1 person for a year. At the end of the day .. I still got a very nice truck with 18k miles on it though.. so ... : ) I love driving my truck it just feels nice.. I also got offered to fix my product recall notice.. I declined them at the time.. its the airbag recall.. I would rather them leave a working truck alone and working.. I have heard some stories about dealerships messing up people's vechiles when they do free work because if nothing else they simply have poorer work habits as they don't care since its free. You having steering issues after your recall work just says to me I def should make sure the dealership that does it is known to only do quality work. If there are any cons it would be parts for basic models is very limited.
All that matters is that you love driving your truck. I agree with your points, especially getting the XD. If I could do it all over again, I would get the XD. But I'm sticking with my Titan for the long haul since I have my non-XD. Regarding your point about the S being simple, Titan overall is as simple as it comes compared to other truck brands. With that, we will outlast the competition. I hope your Titan treats you well. Thanks for the comment.
@@365AdventureCo. I’m a huge fan of driving a car until the wheels fall off. I will say that if you’re a fan of naturally aspirated v-8 with no cylinder deactivation or engine shutoff or any other gimmicks, I would say the Titan is your best bet. Especially with the rebates and 0% interest promotion. This may be the time to get it since this is the last year. I personally would haggle them since it’s the end of the year and end of production. $45K isn’t bad if new. Best of luck. You gotta let me know what you decide.
I own the original edition 2004 5.6 SE. It has 161k miles on it. In almost 20 years I've only had two serious issues. The stater went out a couple years ago and the over flow nipple on radiator that feeds the overflow broke off. The interior is practically still brand new and I had it repainted a year ago. It looks like a brand new truck. Gonna replace the original radio with a 6x7 radio/Nav system/backup camera combo. I kinda wish the rumor was true that 2024 would be the last year of production. I would break down and buy one. How cool would it be to own the first and last production year models exactly 20 years apart.
Wow! Almost 2 decades and 2 major issues?! I would say that's a great deal. I've always said if you take care of your vehicles, your vehicles will take care of you. It sounds like you've taken care of your Titan. I think it would be cool if you owned both! That would be something I would do. Ha. If you happen to do it, you gotta let me know. lol. Thanks for sharing.
I'd say my number one gripe with the Titan, is the steering column is off to the right of center of the seat. Also, i agree with the XD over the regular. Mostly, because i like the 6.5 foot bed and crew cab.
Honestly, if this wasn’t my daily driver, I’m sure I would have the XD. The 6.5 ft bed is a must but as a daily driver I think it’s too much. Maybe I should have two Titans. Regular and a XD. 😀
Might do a review on my 2022 pro 4x when I get back home 2-3 weeks from now. On the payload note, it can most definitely handle a master craft boat which is good enough 🏆
@@jamarcusjoe Yes, I took the gamble and bought a Tundra. I had the Nissan for 18 years and it was a good truck. I have nothing bad to say about Titans. I just liked the way the Tundras look, I just hope I don't regret it.
I’ve driven an F-150 a couple of times and GM trucks several times. If I had to make up my own word to describe the ride quality compared to GM/Ford would be a comfortable-stiffness. But it may be the Pro-4X package and the Bilstein shocks. The zero gravity seats make up for it. I can sit in Nissan seats on an all day drive. I think you will be pleasantly surprised at the ride comfort. The Titan feels planted to the road even driving at 75-85 mph. I would definitely take one on a test drive. I would be curious of your thoughts. Let me know if you get one or test drive one.
I agree. My biggest complaint is the cameras resolution. The exterior could be refreshed a little. But I actually like the current styling, a little old school with modern style. We will see what Nissan will do when the next version of Titan comes out. lol. Thanks for your comment.
Those Titans have a glorious V8 sound!
Yes indeed! I love starting my truck up next to my co-workers trucks when leaving work. lol.
A naturally aspirated 32V V8 is hard to beat. The 5.6L VK is one of the best engines ever made. It's amazing motor en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nissan_VK_engine
Great video, I agree with all of it. I've had 5 Titans, a 2010 King cab, 14 crew cab, an 18 & 19 XD cummins and my current 2023 Pro4x. 2023 is the most comfortable truck I've ever driven, fuel mileage is good for what it is. My only cons are the radio screen connectivity can be spotty and it generally seems to have some gremlins, and the transmission is not to love. I think the trans issues are more related to it being a 9 speed, seems to search a lot at lower speeds. If anyone reads this btw, don't bother with a cummins.
Thanks. Dang 5 Titans! Thats awesome! You are definitely the expert on Titans, past and present. Ha. I agree that the 9 spd transmission has some kinks to work out. My truck has its moments when I accelerate. It seems to be inconsistent when trying to accelerate. I hope your 23 P4X treats you well. Thanks for the comment! From all us Titan owners we appreciate your Titan loyalty. 😂
Just do a Trans tune and it solves all issues!!
Damm dude!! I wanna be like you !!
Just got a White 2024 Pro-4X Titan, coming from a 2018 Tacoma. It felt like getting into a school bus. Love the engine and love the space it provides my family. Also an awesome review!
Thanks! I bet that coming from a smaller truck, driving the Titan is like driving a Tank. Ha. I love sitting up and looking down at other drivers. Lol. My family of 4 + a dog loves going on road trips in the truck. It definitely has space for everyone. I hope your Titan treats you well.
They are great trucks!
I bought same 2024 Pro-4X in white. I know it is a truck. People coming from Toyota do not like the ride. I see why, but I like my truck.
I just purchased a 24 Nisan Titan Pro4x. I love the sound of the V8, looks and the comfort level on long trips. This truck is a beast. Bought it with a 5 yr 0 % interest rate, 9,500 discount and on top of that I get free oil changes for life. 5 yr/100,000 mile warranty gotta love that too.
I own a 2021 Nissan Pro4X, I really appreciated this truck last winter (2023) when we got 3 to 4 feet of snow at my house in Las Padres National Forest just north of Los Angeles. The Titan was able to just drive over the snow without any problems. Even in 20 degree weather the truck started on first try, and performed better than expected. Recently I had to tow a 7000 pound trailer from Petaluma, California to Burbank, California, mileage average about 11 to 12 miles to the gallon. The Titan had no problem going up the Grapevine on I-5, in fact I was passing cars going up the grade with ease. I definitely recommend this truck and some dealers like AV Nissan offer a 200,000, 20 year warranty for any new Nissan. Nissan offers probably the best warranty of any manufacturer in the business.
That’s great to hear stories like that. I believe a lot of people are on the fence about Titans because they don’t really know the capabilities because they’re not marketed well. I think it’s by word of mouth people really know what the trucks are capable of. What I tell people is that the 5.6L engine has been around for along time and can pull it’s fair share and accept abuse. I haven’t heard about the 200k mile warranty, that’s wild! That tells me Nissan will stand behind its product. I’m a believer and couldn’t be more happy with my truck. I’m glad your truck is treating you well. Owning a Titan in CA has to hurt at the gas pumps. I lived in San Diego for a few years with a Altima and Maxima and cringed at the gas pumps. Lol. Also, to your point about towing I also towed 7k lbs and averaged 11-13 mpg.
Great review. This is my next "certified used" purchase. I'm up for one next year! Lol
@@pedrosaucedo333 ha. I like it. I’m sure you’ll get a great deal on one.
Thanks for posting
They gave me one as a loaner
Now I’m looking at them
Uh, oh. They baited you in, huh? lol. You got to let me know if you decide to buy one. I hope you find a good deal on one if you decide to go with the Titan.
I love my 2018 platinum reserve! 6” lift running 35x12.5x20r. No issues at 40k miles
I'm sure your truck is amazing! I’m glad to hear you’ve had no issues at 40k miles. Hopefully 🤞🏾 the next 40k miles will be just as enjoyable.
The Titan is the best value on the market even if is a little older compared to the other brands. You can get this right now 0% interest.
I agree. The amount of options you can get in this truck with 0% interest and best in class warranty is definitely wort considering for any truck buyer. IMO.
0% were?
@@12masterr I’ve heard countless number of people saying they’ve gotten 0% at 60 mos with a 700+ credit score at Nissan dealerships.
You are the reason I'm taking delivery of a new titan this month
@@ZachAttacc I hope your Titan treats you well. You gotta let us know how you like it when you get it!
I have recently picked up the same truck, same package and options. I'm coming from an SV and a diesel Pro-4x XD before that. I missed the pro-4x package with the SV a lot more than I thought I would. So, here I am, back in a pro-4x.
I 've owned 4 Titans all together, had a first gen as well. I'm not sure why I've stayed with them for so long. I would guess it's just the fact that I know what I'm going to get with a Titan, aside for packages and options my 2023 performs very similar to my 07. Yes, I know nissan's paint isn't awesome, I know the interior bits are on the cheap side. It's probably not as refined as some of the competitors. But to me it feels and acts like a traditional truck (just more comfortable). I've never had a serious issue with any of them. (didn't keep the diesel for very long, loved the truck but the cummins and transmission scared me, a warranty doesn't mean much if parts aren't available and you get rid of all of your diesel mechanics).
I have 500 miles on the new one and so far, it's what I expected and I'm good with that. Another great video man, keep up the good work!
You are the Titan expert! Ha. I’m impressed that you’re a repeat buyer. I agree with your statement of it may not be as refined as the competitors but the truck is simple and it works. Although, it does have cheap material its not as bad and doesn’t take away from the functionality of the truck. I hope the 2023 P4X serves you well. Enjoy and I’d be curious if you run into any issues.
Great video! Really needed a real life review of a Titan owner for an upcoming decision on a purchase I need to make. Thank you for making this video.
I like my 23 titan more and more each month it grows on me.
I appreciate you and your comment. Im glad the video helped. I have to know if you decide to purchase a Titan and which trim/what you purchase. I plan to post more on the Titan soon. I hope you find the truck you want.
@@jamarcusjoeI just watched your video and appreciate the review. I, too, am considering purchasing a Titan. The decision between a Pro 4X and a Platinum Reserve is a tough one.
@@johnbyrd6476 have you purchased yet? I think its preference. I love my P4X. I've traveled short and long distances comfortably with a family of 4 + 🐕🦺. I love the fact I can go anywhere with my truck and not feel as bad if I get a minor scratch or ding. The PR is a luxury truck in my eyes and I would want to be sure its always pristine. Ha. With 2 younger kids and dog, the P4X is ideal for me. I hope you find the one you want. Let me know what you get!
Thanks for the solid video, appreciate you sharing the good, the bad and the ugly. I'm shopping for a truck now before the V8 becomes extinct and there's just not a lot out there like the Titan.
I’ll say there’s nothing like a V8. If you can find a good deal on anything V8 go for it. The Titan is V8 is simple and strong for a half ton. The deals on Titans right now are pretty good but make sure you find something you like and can afford. All trucks have their quirks it’s what you are able to deal with in the long run. Thanks and I appreciate you. I hope you find the truck you like.
Great video. I just picked up a '23 Platinum Reserve and just passed 1,000 miles. I love the warranty, leaf springs, column shifter, non cylinder deactivation, V8 and the non Auto-Stop-Start. BTW, Nissan was giving 0% for 60 months. I just wanted a good truck. Great video. Thank you for giving an honest opinion. Thank you good sir.
I hope your '23 PR treats you well, and I'm glad you were able to take advantage of the 0% interest rate, especially in today's market. Everything you mentioned is why I love my Titan. Im a simple man, and Nissan keeps it simple. Im approaching 3 years with my truck, and I can honestly say it is a good solid truck. I appreciate your comment, and congrats on the 1K mile milestone. Ha. Here's to the next 100K miles!
Very nice truck bro. I had a 2013 SL 4X4 and loved it! Traded in and picked up a 2017 platinum reserve 4x4. Got 14k for my 2013 with 120miles on it. No major issues on my '17 just bought 4 new tires FIRESTONE DESTINATION LE3. rides like its brand new. Overall, I love it. Yes, I would buy a 3rd titan.👍
I appreciate it fam. I will have to buy some new tires soon. I’ll have to check my options. I love hearing folks that stand by their Titans and willing to buy another. I hope your ‘17 treats you well.
Thanks for this buddy. I'm in the process of buying a Titan right now.
No problem! I hope you get the Titan you want and that it treats you well. You gotta let me know how you like it when you get it. Thanks for the comment.
Driving same exact truck and loving it. 👍
Yes! It’s nothing like driving a truck you enjoy.
I love my 2017 XD P4X. 91000 miles and no major issues. I use it pull a tractor, fifth wheel trailer and a pontoon boat. I used to have a Lance overhead camper on it and it handled it no problem. I’d buy another one!
That’s so great to hear. 91k miles and still going strong! Love it! I hope the next 91k miles treat you just as good.
Nice video sir! I have the 2022 Titan XD and love it. Pulls my 29ft travel trailer with no issues. Upgraded from an '06 titan SV.
If I could do it all over again, I would’ve went with an XD. I hope you’re enjoying yours! Thanks brother.
I have a 2021 pro4x in white, loaded like yours but no running boards. 46k on it i love it. Great gas mileage on the stock generals. 24 was the highest i saw going to Arizona from texas. Comfortable for a family of 5. Halls great amazing offroad and i daily it. No real cons for me except no real aftermarket bumpers but thats about it. Definitely would buy another. Great review.
Im glad that youre enjoying your Titan also. Seems like you and I are almost tied on mileage. lol. I just hit 42K and shes still running smooth. I plan to keep mine for the long haul, despite all the news of Nissan discontining the Titan. Thanks!
@@jamarcusjoe yea nissan is dropping the ball with that news. Titan is a great truck i definitely will keep mine and maybe add another 2nd gen or a 1gen
An easy fix for damaged plastic panels, vinyl wrap, I did pretty much the same thing to a door on one of my cars and that is how I repaired it. Nice thing with that repair, you can pick any color or pattern you like and most those plastic panels are easily removed. Makes doing the wrap on it really easy.
Thanks for the recommendation. I may have to look into the wrap. It's something I've thought about in the past but never really gave it too much thought. If I decide to wrap, I'll definitely vlog it. Ha.
@@jamarcusjoe I just got a new Titan myself and i'm tall like you as well, so my knees sit right in the same area. Seeing you have this issue has made me think about wrapping some of the interior panels before I can damage them and get annoyed.

I would agree. Buy your house first. Keep your priorities in align with your goals. The Titan will be there after and hopefully at a better price after you buy your house. Yes, the truck is highly underrated in my opinion. Still in love with my Titan!! Thanks!

Right now is a horrible time to finance anything,let alone a house.
Just keep saving your $$$$$ until we get a real president and a better economy with lower interest rates.
You'll save bank if you wait.
Well Nissan announced the 2024 lineup and a week later released a statement that they are discontinuing the Titan. 2024 is the last year.
Despite all the news, I plan to keep my 21 fro the long haul. Ill be that guy driving my V8 Titan well into 2030. lol. Im optimistic that Nissan has a plan to replace the Titan. Lets hope anyways.
Was watching the video you did a couple of years ago and guess what? You uploaded an update, just 2 hours old...lol. I also have a Titan, mine 2017 SV with all options incl tow package. I tow a 28 feet Toy Hauler usually around 6K, no problems to date...knock on wood. The main con on the entertainment center was solved with a Phoenix Automotive PX6 and an upgraded rear view camera. Enjoyed your video, new subscriber!
Lol. Looks like you fast-forwarded to the future. Lol. It's good to know these trucks can tow something as big and long as 6k lb and 28 ft with no issues. I agree the camera need a complete overhaul in the next-gen (if there's a next gen). I appreciate you subscribing. I don't consider myself a RUclipsr but ill continue to talk about the Titan. Thank you.
I want one. Everyone I talk to says go with the tundra. But tundra is having issues . I want the 5.6 with no cylinder deactivation and no start stop, column shifter , locking diff and the fender audio. They are going for a good price too.
I don't think you'll regret getting a Titan. All those things you mentioned is why I selected the Titan. The Titan is simple, and I’m a simple man. I can deal with quirks. Get one!
@@jamarcusjoe just test drove a 23 P4X. Damn I liked it a lot .
@@teke237 like I tell folks, the Titan isn’t everyone’s cup of tea but the folks who love their Titans love ‘em. Im one of those people. Haha. You gotta let me know if you get one!
How resilient is the vinyl wrap?
On my second Titan Pro-4x and I like the steering as is. My son-in-law has the Titan XD and loves his. The warranty is awesome, the price was great, and Nissan just gave me 0% for 60 months, which is unheard of. A fully loaded truck for under $60K beats every other manufacturer.
@@chrebetcrunch I agree with you. the pros outweigh the cons as you mentioned. The biggest pro is the warranty, even if the truck gives you issues the warranty should cover it. I haven’t had any major problems with my truck but the minor issues I did have was covered and they gave me a rental for a few days. Best of luck to you and your son-n-law Titans!
Like the video. Good comments. I am working on my 5th Titan now. Have loved them all.
2005 2WD S 85, 000 miles
2009 4WD Chrome Edition 185,000 miles
2018 XD Platinum 4WD Cummins, 110,000 miles (Chipped and broke crank)my fault.
2020 SV 4WD 48,000 miles(Great truck, but was a little lacking compared to the Platinum XD, and had cheap leveling kit added at dealer that made it ride rough
2021 Pro 4x Just turned over 75,000 miles and is a great truck.
Other than what I did to the diesel, no major mechanical issues on any of them, no paint issues with any of them, and I washed them at least once a year whether they needed it or not.
If I had unlimited funds, I would by a couple of Pro 4x models for off road and everyday, couple of Platinum XD 4WD models for traveling and towing, and a 2wd Platinum to lower and add a NISMO Blower. At my age, I would be set for life. :)
Yes! I want to be like you. It’s great to hear that you’ve had multiple Titans and no major issues and still would buy a couple more. You’ve had the gambit of Titans and could properly talk to each one of them. I think we need more folks like yourselves to share the success stories of the Nissan Titan. I appreciate you sharing your experiences/thoughts. I am more of a believer of the Titan seeing the amount of miles you’ve accumulated on your trucks with no major issues! I hope you get those 2 titans and put 100k+ miles on them, with no issues.
LOL! You know you use your truck as a truck when someone asks when was the last time you got it washed… and you have to think about it for a bit.
I usually wash my every year whether it needs it or not. Got to take care of you stuff right? @@AKMan-m4k
thanks for this review, I've actually been shopping all brands of pickup trucks and ive settled in on a titan, just trying to decide between pro 4 max and platinum reserve..but this video helped greatly
Thanks! I don't think you'll regret the Titan. The Pro-4x was more my style with the Luxuries and options of the Platinum Reserve. I don't think you can go wrong with either trim. Good luck!
Just bought a PRO4X...2O23....Love it
@@stevematthis3199 my man!! Enjoy it!!
You can definitely use some compound and polish on the scratches on the hood and you won’t even notice after. Give the whole truck a nice polish with a buffer and it will look new again.
Yeah, I plan to give it a good detail soon. Thanks for the advice.
I have a Nissan NV 3500 SL which is based upon the Titan. I also had the same issue with the camera that you described. However, I was able to fix it. I found the connection point and put dialectic grease on the connectors and then wrapped the connection with electrical tape. I have never had a problem since. I highly recommend doing that as you may find your problem going away.
Thanks for the advice. I will first have the dealership look at it and then ill take your recommendation. I appreciate you.
How do you like your NV? I was actually looking at those for a family travel vehicle. My brother-n-law has one and is all about it. Im curious of your thoughts.
@@jamarcusjoe the NV is my wife's daily driver. She loves it and the kids do as well. We take a double seat out of the rear which still allows us to seat 10, yet it gives us plenty of room for cargo. Even the biggest SUVs just seat 8. We have five kids and they do not like sitting shoulder to shoulder, which is what they would have to do in another vehicle. The v8 engine in it is way more powerful than the Ford Transit. We bought it new and have 115k miles on it. It has been very reliable. Unfortunately they stopped making them in 2021, but you can always purchase a used one.
Man!! That column shifter #YesPlease. I like the steering emblem color is a nice touch 💯
Good old column shifter. Ha. I love that thing. It’s becoming extinct like a manual transmission in a car.
@@jamarcusjoe Man, I feel your pain!! It's saddening 😢
Good, thoughtful thorough review. Much appreciated!
I appreciate your comment. Thanks!
I am a newcomer to your channel and I am looking around for a pick up so far Nissan titan is the only naturally aspirated V8 that I know of. I love the options in the simplicity of the truck. Please keep us informed of pros and cons. Enjoy your channel.
I believe you can find some naturally aspirated V-8s in other brands but may be older year models. To your point about simplicity, is the reason I love my Titan so much. No start stop engine cutoff just raw on demand power with decent mpgs. I hope you find the pickup you want. I’ll definitely keep you updated. I appreciate you checking out my channel.
Ford- 5.0 Coyote
Chevy- multiple v8s
GMC- same as above
Ram- Hemi
Every truck manufacturer still have a N/A V8
NO !! Not Toyota , SADLY !!@@coreyworrell9648
Thank you. I plan on getting a 2024 bronze edition tactical green of course. Thank you for your service.
That will be a head-turner for sure! You gotta let me know how you like it when you get it. Thanks for your support!
Great color choice!
That swirl mark on your hood is probably from the car wash. Thats why i dont take my vehicles to car washes.
I guess I learned my lesson. I will follow your lead and start hand washing.
@jamarcusjoe
The zipper-pocket issue is not the truck's fault. Every pickup has some amount of plastic moldings. Even metal trucks parts of yester year wore the paint of excessive rubbing. I'm currently in the market for a new pickup. I got my eye on a 2017 Titan regular cab w/ 8 ft bed. Wdyt...?
I had a similar mark on the roof of my Nissan frontier from having a magnetic CB antenna mount.
Car washes will ruin a vehicle paint, hand wash and use a leaf blower to dry is best
@@RyanJohnson-ft6qia leaf blower? Damn i never thought of that! Imma try that next time
Thank you sir for sharing your honest mpg, I think you sold me on a titan! 😊
I'm just honestly getting sick of people showing off how they are getting single digits in other half tons towing under 4k lbs, forget about TFL getting 11 mpg with a Ridgeline towing 3k lbs 😑
No prob. You gotta let me know what/which Titan you decide to get.
Ha. It's to be expected you are going to get poor gas mileage towing in a truck. I was honestly surprised that I got 11-13 mpg towing almost 8K lbs across the country. Good luck with your find. Thanks for the comment.
Nice video, I agree with you on the plastic in the interior- very flimsy and scratches very quickly!
I had 2020 Tacoma and my 2023 Titan gets much better gas mpg.
The infotainment system i like, i can stand Apple car play-
Back up camera resolution is fuzzy, they could upgrade at the factory- not a hard fix
But overall 100% I would but again!
Thanks! I can live with how the plastic is peeling now, but I can only imagine how it will look a few years from now. It’s still functional but aesthetically it’s an eyesore. Hopefully, Nissan updates/upgrades many of our complaints. We will see. I appreciate your comment.
More like better gearing, heavier, bigger, more power, more torque but yet gets better MPG. 😂
@@jamarcusjoeDo ceramic coating from any premium auto brands found at your local Walmart auto store for wholesale prices. Just once a week the car needs a wipe down and cover the front windshield with sun deflector since consistent sun exposure will destroy any plastic material.
@@vm2003 Ive been thinking of getting a ceramic coat. You've just confirmed it. I'll probably take your advice and apply it this summer!
My Titan XD Pro 4x has been a beast. I haul boats with it everyday with no issues. Also just got a 2024 Sierra 2500 but still love my titan !
If I could do it all over again, I would’ve gotten the XD. I’m glad your Titan is still serving you well. How’s the ride quality comparison to your GMC? I’ve always had an appreciation for the GMC Sierras, specifically the Denali. How are you like it?
Thanks for your service.
Thank you for your support! I appreciate you.
Ahh, I have a 2006 Titan XE Crew cab purchased with 4 miles on it, now 247,986 miles. This has been an excellent truck, many road trips. I have replaced a few parts, but over all, a great vehicle, would buy another one in a heartbeat. Just hate what most dealerships have done to the car market being so Greedy. Maybe we as consumers should order directly from the manufacturers.
That’s great to hear your Titan has treated you well all these years/miles! Praying for many more. I also hate the fact that dealership are marking up vehicles. Hopefully the market will decrease soon. Thanks for the comment.
Just bought a 2021 pro4x! Cant wait to pick it up. Coming from a midsized truck.
How are you liking it so far? From a midsize truck I’m sure you can tell a difference. I hope you’re enjoying it!
@@jamarcusjoe the wife and kids really appreciate the interior space. My Ford ranger didn’t have much backseat room. I love all the features too.
I just bought my first Titan back on Thursday last week. I’m praying I can pick her up tomorrow. 2017 Titan Pro 4-X!!
Sorry for the delayed reply. Were you able to pick it up? If so, how is it?
Too bad they are killing the Titan off in 2024. I plan to hang on to my 21’ P4X for as long as possible. Great vid!
Yea. That sucks, but maybe it'll be good news in the future. My conspiracy theory is that the Titan will come back as an EV. I'll take it one step further, it will be the premier EV truck. I can only hope. lol. Im with you, I'm driving my 21 P4X until the wheels fall off. I appreciate the comment.
@@jamarcusjoe I could totally see that! I went and visited our local Nissan dealer yesterday just to check out the Ariya, and that is definitely the future, weather people want it or not. 😁 I would be interested in that for sure!
I just hit 40k miles on my 2017 Nissan Titan Pro4X on January 4th of 2024. I love it! I use premium in mine as well. I don’t like how the suspension is supposed to be their off roading version but it’s not that great compared to Toyota Tundra’s TRD pro. The TRDs definitely know what off roading is about. I added an android tablet touch screen aftermarket console. It’s amazing 😻
Great to hear! ou hit a milestone mileage! My boss has a TDR Pro, and I can tell the difference in the suspension when I am in his truck. Maybe since I'm used to mine, I prefer the Titan over the Toyota. Im glad your upgrades are keeping the love for your truck alive. Ha.
@@jamarcusjoe Damn Titans are so underrated! I almost bought a TDR Pro until I drove a Titan Pro 4x. Preferred the ride, V8 power and that beefy sound of 8 cylinders. Wish mine had the moon roof thought that's so cool the way Nissan designed theirs for the newer Ttians. Once you have a moon roof it's hard to go without it.
@@amcacertified2038 Yes inded! Other than the marketing im not sure what Nissan couldve done to put this truck in competition with the Big 3. Oh well. The folks that have Titans knowhow underatted the Titan is. IYKYK I guess. Ha. I caught so much flack about having a sunroof/moonroof but its my daily driver so I love it. Youre right, i dont think im going without one. ha. Thanks for the comment.
Didn’t think the TRD Tundra have locking diffs…
@@chrischris9370 Yea from 2022 and up they do, but the 2017s didn’t, they only had LSDs. My 2017 Pro4X has it though. When 4-Wheel Drive LO isn't enough, the locking differential sends equal power to both rear wheels, which can help with traction and keep the truck moving.
My dad has a 2018 Titan XD Gas Platinum Reserve. His truck developed a ticking noise and I got on him to get it into the Nissan dealer. His truck has 45K. That 5 year 100K warranty saved him big time. 5.6 Engine 2017-2018 have low oil pressure issue in the #7 cylinder and this is common according to the dealer. They had to replace the engine with a new long block. Between parts and labor I think it was over $8K. Took 2 weeks to fix. Nissan only offered a 12 month 12,000 mile warranty on it. I figured a 3 year 36,000 mile warranty. Other than that its been a decent truck for him. Also he had the 20" chrome wheels replaced under warranty due to the chrome flaking off. He gets 13mpg but he doesn't drive it much and he has BFG ruggedtrail tires on it. This is my dads 2nd titan. 1st one was a 2004 LE crew cab.
It's good to hear the warranty worked out for your dad. I've also heard similar issues with the #7 cylinder issue, I believe it affected 2020 models and older. Regardless it was covered. No truck will be perfect but at least Nissan will stand by their products. Thanks for sharing.
@@jamarcusjoe same thing happened to my 2018 , replaced the motor and gave me a rental, would buy a new one but I heard 2024 last year for titan
@@johnbernacki6155 yep. 2024 is the last year. I keep saying that since Nissan is pursuing an EV future I think the Titan will reemerge as an EV. I’ll keep my V8 until then. Ha.
Awesome review! I bought 2023 pro4x non xd with out the sunroof 8 months ago and I get about the same gas mileage but I will try using premium for once to see if I notice a difference in power and mpgs. I also believe your door panels are covered under the bumper to bumper warranty and maybe you could find a protection film to put on the new ones?
Thanks! I’d be curious to know if you see a difference in mpgs if you switch to premium. The next time I get my oil change I’ll ask about the doors panels. Thanks for the advice!
You don’t have any issues using 87 octane?
@@nickturner4728 The times I've put 87 in it, I can definitely feel a difference in acceleration and mpg. The truck still operates normal, but instead of 17/20mpg it'll drop to 15/18 mpg. I'll stick with 91/93 octane until I can't afford it anymore.😆
@@jamarcusjoeI swapped over to premium only fuel in my titan pro 4x and it felt like a completely different truck. Drove so much smoother and I could feel the power difference. I filled up at a quarter of q tank yesterday and it cost $87 bucks. 😂
@@Matt-oj2kl For awhile I thought I was tripping. So many people told me it was all in my head and that premium fuel doesn't make a difference. Im glad you verified. I knew I wasn't going crazy. Although premium is getting closer to the $5/gal mark ill keep with 91/93 for now. lol.
I had a 2012 Pro 4X, and it was one of the best trucks I've ever owned, and I've owned about a dozen of them. Sad to hear they will be discontinued. I had the same experience with the 5.6L and premium fuel. You could feel the difference with a higher octane fuel. I averaged around 14mpg but man, that 5.6 ran and sounded like a nascar. It's one of the most fun engines I've ever owned. A proper 32 valve V8.
@@sinepari9160 that's great to hear. Most people haven't owned as many trucks as you. Your opinion holds weight due to how many trucks you've been around and for you to say the Titan is one of the best means something. I agree the 5.6 is a beast! I plan on keeping mine for the long haul for that very reason, the rumble and the reliability of the engine. Thanks for your comment.
2024 Nissan Titan pro 4x baja here! Love it, no issues so far, 2500 miles. A/C compressor is loud but that is normal per comments.
I've always liked the Baja color. It's one of a kind, and you can spot it from a mile away. Im glad to hear you love it. Im at 60K miles and still love mine.
I hate that they are ending Titan after the summer of 2024. I have a 2017 SL, and it has been the best truck I have ever owned. I have owned Toyota, Ford, Chevy, and Ram. None of them stood up to my Titan in the means of reliability and warranty. I also average close to 19.8 MPGs city, and 23 HWY on regular fuel. My engine is well broken in just right with close to 70K miles. The only issue is the paint, as it is failing fast, with the clear coat having issues. For the value you get vs the others, it's a steal of a deal.
Someone such as yourself that has owned/driven the gambit of trucks and can say that the Titan is a good deal reassures me. I appreciate you sharing. Im finding more nicks on my Titan, and it's a bit concerning. With its quirks, im still a fan of Titan. I hope the next 70k miles give you no major issues.
Thank you for the insight when towing a Pathfinder behind you at 7K lb... Towing cars around would be the main reason I am buying a truck. 12-13MPG at that weight and having an SUV behind you as a wind sail versus a normal car is pretty good mileage!
My Titan handled towing 7K lbs like a champ! If you plan to use it for towing cars, I would go with the XD model. It's a solid platform for those types of loads. I recently moved again and towed a 4.5K lbs tandem axle trailer, and again, the Titan handled it with ease, even at 75 mph. Thanks for the comment.
I have a 2008 Titan with 130k miles I bought brand new. Other than normal wear and tear and some cosmetics I’ve NEVER had an issue with the power train. Hell I’ve never even changed the tranny fluid or done an engine tune up and it still runs solid! Just bought a 2024 pro4X 👍🏼
@@goatEyEz83 I love you hear it! I hope your new to you Titan runs as strong as your last. Im approaching 70K miles and still loving mine. I'm def keeping mine for the long haul. I appreciate your comment
Hey Jay, TITAN XD PRO 4X 2021 owner here. Great truck but I also had the random camera outage problem but got it fixed. Here is how I did it.
Took it into the dealer under warranty and they ended up replacing the entire passenger side mirror assembly which included the camera, no issues since.
Per them this has been something they’ve seen on not just the Titans but also some other vehicles like the Rogues.
I was able to demonstrate the problem by putting the vehicle in park, hitting the 360 camera button and then if I opened and slammed the passenger door (where the camera was located) it would flicker and Fritz out. That was the piece of the puzzle that I missed. If I opened and closed the passenger door the camera would go wonky.
Anyhow, it was replaced at zero cost under warranty. Hope you see this and can get it replaced under warranty also! Great video, sir!
I am glad that you were able to get it fixed. That's great news! Every time I bring it to the dealership and bring up the problem, they cannot replicate it, so they never do anything about it. SMH. One of these days, I'll get it fixed. I hate to say I have lived with it for this long, but it doesn't bother me when it does happen. I recently moved; the new Nissan dealership may be more open to helping me out. I appreciate your comment and help. I hope your Titan continues to treat you well!
@@jamarcusjoe the key for me was being able to consistently demonstrate the fault. Just randomly putting it in reverse didn’t do it because you know it wasn’t 100% of the time it would fail. I needed a repeatable failure.
That said having some photos/videos of the failure plus being able to put in park with the 360 camera on and slamming the door showing how video cut out and was easy to consistently replicate when combined with the photo & video proof was to spur the dealership to act under warranty.
They ended up getting a totally new passenger side mirror assembly (which included a new camera) and it has worked flawlessly in the several months since.
I dunno where you are in the country but I went to Orr Nissan East here in Oklahoma City. Hope it helps!
@@Charles_And_Christina_H Yes, this helps! It may require me to sit in the Nissan parking lot and continue to put it in reverse until I can replicate the issue. I already have pictures and videos, and I have shown them. I am in Maryland now, so I'll see what this Nissan dealership says. Thanks again. I'll let you know if I can get it fixed.
@@jamarcusjoe just humor me and try this, my man. Put her in park and then hit the camera button on your dash to activate the 360 camera. Roll down your passenger window so you can easily see inside. Get out, go around to the passenger side, open and slam closed your passenger door. Does the passenger side camera flicker or fail? If so, there’s the repeatable proof. Opening and closing the door shouldn't cause the camera to go wonky, even temporarily. That plus the evidence showing what it was otherwise doing was enough to make them fix it.
Also we found that when the camera was failing if you opened and then slammed the passenger door it would kick it back into working again. When I had that epiphany it was what gave me the idea of “hmm, let’s put her in park, hit the camera and slam the door to try and replicate the fault” and that’s what I came up with. A demonstrated repeatable failure that I could show them.
You know how it is with mechanics. If you can’t get it to fail under their nose they are not gonna admit the problem exists much less fix it especially under warranty.
Good review.I just bought a 2024 Pro4X Baja Storm color.Great truck.
Thanks. Congrats on the Titan! I hope your new Titan treats you well into the future. Good choice on the Baja Storm color, If I could do it all over again I would've went with that color. Thanks for the comment.
My favorite color titan!
Mine is 2012. Just turned 217k. Love it. Going to 500k if i can.
Im a believer that if you take care of your vehicles, your vehicles will take care of you. I believe your Titan will make 500K miles. Examples like yours, give me the warm fuzzy my truck will last for awhile. Thanks for sharing!
Solid video. Appreciate your real world experiences and comments. Not buying until the end of 2024. Debating between a mid-size and a 1/2 ton to tow a small camper (2,900 loaded) plus hauling camping gear. Actually, I would prefer the quad cab with the 6’ bed. Just my wife and I. Don’t need a crew cab. I want more space for camping gear in the bed and topper. I will shop the Titan in addition to other brands. BTW, what is your payload? Thanks again.
Thanks! Putting myself in your shoes I would lean more towards a mid-size because a 1/2 ton for your camper would be overkill. On the flip side I would go with a 1/2 ton because of the versatility. You may want to tow something bigger. Also, the gas mileage on the Titan is not that bad compared to your midsize trucks. Definitely go shop around. I’m interested in what truck you decide to buy. My payload is 1142 lbs. the panoramic sunroof and running boards decreased my payload capacity. I hope you find what you want.
@@jamarcusjoe hey thanks for the response and sharing your payload. I have plenty of time to figure out what we want to tow our camper. We currently have a midsize SUV with a V8 that is rated to tow 7,500 lbs. It has been a great tow vehicle, but with nearly 160,000 miles, it will be time for something different by the end of 2024. I really want a pickup truck, not an SUV, for our next tow vehicle.
@@deanmay338 good luck! I hope you find the right vehicle and crossing my fingers vehicle prices go down by the time you purchase something.
@@jamarcusjoe will do! Thanks. In the meantime, I will keep up with your videos on your Titan. You do a great job!

My man got a permanent embedded mark of s curl activator on his head rest 😂 good review big bro
😆 bruh! I never knew I was drippin soul glo on my head rest until my wife pointed it out. Ha. I appreciate the comment.
One of my favorite movies, lol. I’ve got a 21 Titan Pro4X, 34k on it now.
We have a ‘16 XD PlatRes diesel and wouldn’t trade it for anything. We bought it in ‘17 for a steep discount to make way for the ‘17s. Between that and trading in our ‘06 Titan we drove it off the lot for $31k. We were 5 years from retirement and needed a truck that would take us well into retirement. And it has worked out perfectly. It tows our camper and toys without effort and it handles everything AK throws at it. And without being in the shop all the time like our friends’ Big 3 trucks.
I’m glad your Titan is working out for you. Especially the diesel, hopefully it continues to treat you well. My opinion what you are doing is what most folks should be striving to do, and not going after the most expensive truck that will give you problems. I wish many people would realize that the Titan is a great deal and is comparable to the Big 3. Thanks for sharing, I hope you get more life out of your Titan.
Good video. Just my 2 cents, I have a 2012 sv.234k miles. It will haul and tow more than stated. We had a camper briefly. The salesman was shocked when we hooked it up after purchase. His comment " I have never seen a 1/2 ton that didn't sag. It was a 26 foot grand design.
@@TonyAdkins-dx5kt thanks! 234K miles! Impressive! The Titan is an underrated beast. I hope to keep mine as long as yours. I hope your Titan is still treating you well.
I agree with the comments on the personal user view. I've been flip-flopping on what to get coming from an '08 Armada LE. It's videos like this that damn near seal the deal for me. And then I watch a video on something else and think maybe that's what I want. The warranty and the sound of the V8 just keep me coming back to it. I test drove a '24 a few days ago and although I think my Armada is a little smoother ride, I think I would be happy with the Titan. I see sooo many positive comments on them I just don't think I'd be happy in anything less.
@@theblindsharpshooter I’m curious what did you decide? Armada or Titan? Or something else? Whatever you got I hope it’s treating you well.
@ I got a ‘21 Titan in Baja Storm. And I love it. I wanted something different than my Armada and a different color and this definitely fits the bill
Nice review Thx. I am considering a 2024 model myself.
I appreciate the comment. The Titan might not be everyone's cup of tea, but it's worth test-driving and comparing. I was dead set on getting a GMC AT4 until I test-drove the Titan and looked at the price disparity. I've never regretted my decision. After 3 yrs and 58K miles, it's still going strong. You gotta let me know if you decide to get one. If you want more payload and towing capacity, check out the Titan XD. Good luck!
I read on some online forum of a Titan owner that put over million miles.
3 secrets:
Amsoil oil change every 5k (year round). But any other oil brand synthetic 3k
If not towing...
Trans/differentials/Radiator/transfer case fluid every 25k
If towing/commercial use...
Trans/Radiator/Differentials/Transfer Case fluid every 20k (summer) vs 15k (winter due to salt residue).
91 recommended or 87 with fuel additive. Thats it.
The truck will go a million miles on that V8 NA engine/transmission no questions asked.
Walmart Auto Services can do the services for pretty cheap price.
That's impressive. I believe it! I've had 5 different NISSAN vehicles and they are the easiest vehicles to maintain. As long as you keep up with the routine maintenance schedule the vehicle will run. I plan to keep my Titan for a long time, no plans to get rid of it any time soon.
great review!!! I have 2018 platinum reserve 4x4 love the truck 70000km on it here in vancouver canada they are very rare truck and cant even buy titian here anymore,mines red and silver and i get lots compliments on it
I appreciate you! Im glad your Titan is still rolling strong. It's great to hear Titans up in Canada are doing well and getting the respect even though they are no longer sold. I hope you have many more years of compliments and no issues. Thanks for your comment!
I was looking to get one of these. I heard that 2024 would be its last year. Thanks for the vid.
It may sound concerning that 2024 is the last year, but Don't let the discontinuation sway you. As long as Nissan is still a company, you will still have availability to service and parts. Titan is a good, solid truck. But if you are still on the fence on weather to buy, I would lease the vehicle and have the ability to turn it back in after your lease if you see that Nissan Titan is not the way you want to go. Just a thought. I hope you decide to make the jump. Thanks for your comment.
I'm going to look at them, and if I see something I like and the pricing is right, I'll come back at the end of the for the kill 😁 Thanks for the encouragement.
I drive my 06 for my maintenance business. 288k miles with lots of towing. Same issues with painted plastic inside. But its rock solid work truck. My truck gets 12-15mpg as i use it. 16-16.5 on Intestate highway cross country w/ cruise set and bed covered.
Towing a landscape trailer i get 8-10mpg so 12 loaded is good.
Looking into a slightly used titan or xd for next work truck
I’ve noticed a lot of older model Titans used as work trucks. I guess that’s good to see and hear that they stand up work vehicles able to take the abuse. Wow! 288k miles and still going! That’s impressive. Hopefully you can find that used Titan, I’m rooting for you!

@jamarcusjoe Welcome to SC BTW, my friend. The humidity is tough, but our winters are a breeze.
Thanks for the content. Good review.
No problem. Thanks. I appreciate your comment.
I have a Tundra, but I always like the styling of the Titans. Good video.
Yea, I have an appreciation for the Tundra. Funny thing is my boss recently bought a Tundra, I tried to convince him to buy a Titan so that we can have Titan twins parked next to one another in the parking lot. He wasn’t having it and bought a Tundra. Ha. Thanks!
@@jamarcusjoe that's funny. Enjoy and keep posting.
Welcome to SC. The Humidity is a beast but I felt like eastern texas was pretty similar. Thinking about buying a titan....
Thanks. Yep, SC humidity is no joke. Central TX humidity was non-existent. I’m definitely gonna have to get used to the humidity. Ha. If you’re thinking about buying go test drive one. I think you’ll be surprised. I’d be curious to know if you like it
@@jamarcusjoe Just test drove a 21 Pro 4 x today and the handling coming out of a 1st gen raptor is night and day... The comfort is really nice and I like it. Now I have to decide XD or pro 4x
@@JustinWilliams-u7c Yess! I’m glad you were able to test drive one. I’m a big fan of Nissans zero gravity seats. I’ve driven my truck long distances with hardly any discomfort. Remember the XDs mpgs will have slight decrease. Might as well get the Pro-4X XD version. Lol. Good luck!
@@jamarcusjoe I just texted the salesman and told him XD pro 4x and I'll be there. Hopefully everything will go through. You aint lying about the seats. I think that was a big selling point for me. I also like how everything is analog... a vehicle with a screen controlling everything is a disaster waiting to happen.
@@JustinWilliams-u7c the anticipation is killing me. 😆. Good luck.
I applaud you for buying something different.
@@jaymoar3561 thanks. I've never been one to follow a crowd. I did a lot of research before buying, this truck fits me perfectly.
I have a 2019 Frontier Pro4x and am thinking of upgrading to the Titan. I want to like the F150 but have heard too many horror stories about it breaking down. IMO, the Titan is the most underrated truck on the market.
There are so many good truck options, including the F-150. I have heard horror stories about almost all the brands, including the Titan. I've been fortunate not to run into any significant issues with my Titan. I still love driving it. It's definitely an underrated truck. Have you upgraded? If so, let me know if you did.
Vary good review. Well done, thank you 👍 😎
I appreciate the feedback. Thanks.
I had a couple new trucks. If you do get a new one or even touch-up those chips, get a clear bra! I've had large rocks hit the front of my trucks and the clear bra really does help. Technology has gotten better for it.
Thanks for the recommendation. I actually may look into the clear bra. I’ll let you if I commit to one. Thanks.
To each his own, but I wouldn’t and don’t have that sunroof in my 2021 Titan Pro4X. Not a fan of sunroof’s. Great video, Brother. I have 78,000 miles on mine and don’t have any nicks on the paint and interior is still like new. 😎
The sunroof is definitely an option that’s not needed on a truck . I like the option but the fact it decreases my payload capacity is a con. Luckily, no issues structurally. I’ve heard horror stories of people with sunroofs. Dang 78k miles!!! Wow! Good stuff. I hope your truck stays in good shape. Thanks for the comment my man.
@@jamarcusjoe You’re welcome, Brother.
Great review JaMarcus. Beautiful truck
I appreciate you. Thanks!
As a current owner of 2 1st gen titans that I constantly drive and after owning all of the big3, I definitely feel as if you can't beat the titan for value. I am definitely getting a 3rd generation 2020 and newer.
That’s great to hear you’re sticking with the Titan. I hope you get a good deal on one. I appreciate you sharing!
I have a 2020 Titan SL with 67k miles and despite them being discontinued in 2024 I will be keeping mine for the long haul. I haven’t had the issue with the camera yet, and fingers crossed I won’t😂.
Yessir, I don't plan on giving my truck up anytime soon. I just hit 54K miles this week and still rolling strong! I hope you stay camera issue-free. Ha. See you on the road.
Titans are great! I'm sad to see them go. Nice video!
@@snoopyfix2 thanks! Yea I’m sad to see them go, hopefully for now. Maybe they’ll comeback with something new/refreshed. Maybe a twin turbo version, which I’m not the biggest fan of. 🤞🏾
Your truck looks nice in the black. I got the 21 pro 4x in red and there’s a 13inch infotainment touch screen designed for this truck that I’m gonna get in a couple weeks.
@@DeadlineComics thanks! It’s a struggle to keep clean. Ha. Did you get the 13 in touchscreen?
I got a 2021 titan s crew cab in dec only 18k miles on it basically new.. had no clue about trim levels or anything else... my advice if your getting a titan go for the XD seems all the parts/aftermarket stuff was made for the XD .. getting parts/aftermarket for S model is pretty dang hard. On the positive side as the OP video poster mentions since I have a basic S model I get the most towing capacity and longer vehicle life span as there are less electronics to fail less bulbs to change etc.. .overall will get more life from the vehicle as less moving parts in general. My choices was this 2021 titan s which I got that had 18k miles on it or a 2017 XD with like 45k miles on it.. had I known anything about trim levels I would have taken the 2017 XD with 45k on it...not knowing anything about trim levels at the time I took the one with 18k miles on it that was leased to 1 person for a year.
At the end of the day .. I still got a very nice truck with 18k miles on it though.. so ... : ) I love driving my truck it just feels nice.. I also got offered to fix my product recall notice.. I declined them at the time.. its the airbag recall.. I would rather them leave a working truck alone and working.. I have heard some stories about dealerships messing up people's vechiles when they do free work because if nothing else they simply have poorer work habits as they don't care since its free. You having steering issues after your recall work just says to me I def should make sure the dealership that does it is known to only do quality work.
If there are any cons it would be parts for basic models is very limited.
All that matters is that you love driving your truck. I agree with your points, especially getting the XD. If I could do it all over again, I would get the XD. But I'm sticking with my Titan for the long haul since I have my non-XD. Regarding your point about the S being simple, Titan overall is as simple as it comes compared to other truck brands. With that, we will outlast the competition. I hope your Titan treats you well. Thanks for the comment.
You could get a cool acrylic sticker to place right on the door panel there or some kind of padding like a knee rest
I may have to take you up on that. I’ll see if that works to mitigate more paint flaking. Thanks for the advice.
Man I have a 06 2500 Silverado does everything I need it to but a new truck is tempting, the pro 4 X is 45k here in AZ
@@365AdventureCo. I’m a huge fan of driving a car until the wheels fall off. I will say that if you’re a fan of naturally aspirated v-8 with no cylinder deactivation or engine shutoff or any other gimmicks, I would say the Titan is your best bet. Especially with the rebates and 0% interest promotion. This may be the time to get it since this is the last year. I personally would haggle them since it’s the end of the year and end of production. $45K isn’t bad if new. Best of luck. You gotta let me know what you decide.
Where in SC are you? It looks like my neighborhood. Before you even said anything about moving to SC, I noticed your neighbors.
20 mpg is actually pretty good. 20 years ago some large sedans still got that.
I own the original edition 2004 5.6 SE. It has 161k miles on it. In almost 20 years I've only had two serious issues. The stater went out a couple years ago and the over flow nipple on radiator that feeds the overflow broke off. The interior is practically still brand new and I had it repainted a year ago. It looks like a brand new truck. Gonna replace the original radio with a 6x7 radio/Nav system/backup camera combo. I kinda wish the rumor was true that 2024 would be the last year of production. I would break down and buy one. How cool would it be to own the first and last production year models exactly 20 years apart.
Wow! Almost 2 decades and 2 major issues?! I would say that's a great deal. I've always said if you take care of your vehicles, your vehicles will take care of you. It sounds like you've taken care of your Titan. I think it would be cool if you owned both! That would be something I would do. Ha. If you happen to do it, you gotta let me know. lol. Thanks for sharing.
Great video, thank you for the insight
I appreciate the comment. Thanks, brother.
Good review. Thanks for sharing. Btw that truck is made in america unlike ford or Chevy trucks
Yessir! Truck was built in my home state of Mississippi.
I'd say my number one gripe with the Titan, is the steering column is off to the right of center of the seat. Also, i agree with the XD over the regular. Mostly, because i like the 6.5 foot bed and crew cab.
Honestly, if this wasn’t my daily driver, I’m sure I would have the XD. The 6.5 ft bed is a must but as a daily driver I think it’s too much. Maybe I should have two Titans. Regular and a XD. 😀
Might do a review on my 2022 pro 4x when I get back home 2-3 weeks from now. On the payload note, it can most definitely handle a master craft boat which is good enough 🏆
Do it! I get so many questions from people who are curious about the Titan. I still love this truck. Ill be waiting on your review!
Thanks for the info, I'm looking at a 24 Pro x.
@@alderringer8816 have you decided? Did you get a Titan or something else?
@@jamarcusjoe Yes, I took the gamble and bought a Tundra. I had the Nissan for 18 years and it was a good truck. I have nothing bad to say about Titans. I just liked the way the Tundras look, I just hope I don't regret it.
Thanks for the VIDEO Bro.
No prob. I appreciate you fam.
Nice review!! What the payload as shown on the door sticker?
@@amirweinmann3445 thanks! 1267 lbs
Great video, your cons aren’t really cons honestly. I get it though, they are things that I would pay attention to that annoy you. Great job
Ha. Yea more of an annoyance. TBH, I live with them daily without noticing them. Overall, I’m still happy with my Titan. Thanks brother.
Great video man! Considering this exact truck. How’s the ride quality in your opinion? Coming from ford f150s mostly.
I’ve driven an F-150 a couple of times and GM trucks several times. If I had to make up my own word to describe the ride quality compared to GM/Ford would be a comfortable-stiffness. But it may be the Pro-4X package and the Bilstein shocks. The zero gravity seats make up for it. I can sit in Nissan seats on an all day drive. I think you will be pleasantly surprised at the ride comfort. The Titan feels planted to the road even driving at 75-85 mph. I would definitely take one on a test drive. I would be curious of your thoughts. Let me know if you get one or test drive one.
@@jamarcusjoe I plan on taking one on a test drive tomorrow. Appreciate your response and insight! Will reply back with my thoughts.
Titan Pro-4X rules! Best truck I ever had. Love it! ❤️
I agree. No major issues with it and its a solid truck! Thanks for the comment.
Good review
Thanks! I'm no RUclipsr just putting my 2cents out there. Ha.
Thank you for the video!
No problem. Im hitting my 3 years of ownership, so I may make another one soon. Tnanks for the comment.
If they just did a bit better on styling both int and ext
Titan always been a solid truck
I agree. My biggest complaint is the cameras resolution. The exterior could be refreshed a little. But I actually like the current styling, a little old school with modern style. We will see what Nissan will do when the next version of Titan comes out. lol. Thanks for your comment.
Awesome vid,I really like these trucks
Thanks! Yeah, they're definitely underrated. Although I have a few issues with my truck, I still love it.
Amazing review
@@TheKoreanStarrbuck thanks!
God review man
Thanks.
