Did you have any rear differential issues with your Titan? I know early on they seemed to have some overheating failures in them? Which I think they corrected by adding a differential cover that had cooling fins on it.

My 05 has the fins. 333,xxx miles on it

@@wildbill23c I have a 2006. Did 2 rear axle seals. Then did the rear axle vent mod and haven't done one since. Other than that I've done 2 radiators and just some regular maintenance stuff, hoses, and such. 255000 miles on mine of which 160,000 we're my miles.

My dads rear end went out at 180k. Other than that it was absolutely perfect, great power too

@@nottingham82 Thanks. Sounds like more of a lack of maintenance issue for many reported problems from owners than it really was factory defect problems. The Titan I think would serve me pretty well...Had a 2008 Tundra, and had repeat issues with bearings and front differential issues...

I've always loved the older Nissan trucks. The Frontier finally got a desperately needed facelift though.

Those things look like rolling hexagon turds. And they kept the 5.6L they jus fixed the cat problem i believe. The new model just weighs more. Thats why it may not feel as "alive"

@@seanbutler2291I don’t think he’s comparing the 2 when saying it feels so alive. The new one definitely has more pickup, shorter gears and a solid bump in power.

Me either. Bring ‘‘em on. !

What do you mean no BS electronics? lmao it's filled with electronics and nanny aids, like all other modern vehicles.

@@pryme2013 I was just about to point that out🤣

Lol it does have a fair bit of electronics. And our 2015 Nissan titan V8 doesn't have a locker because it's not a pro-4x

@@pryme2013 not really. The titan doesn't have alot of electronics. Every vehicle has electronic but titan and frontier are bare bones trucks.

Best of all no turbo engines at all.

I would not think twice picking up a clean early titan, a damn solid truck

Just turned over 300,000 miles. 2013 pro4 x. Still runs incredibly.

My mechanic told me nissan quit making sensors and parts for them that are impossible to get aftermarket.

You mean the new trucks that are computers on wheels with 500 hp and turbos that need replaced before 100k miles?

Nissan didn't force anyone to up their game. They were all too busy competing with each other to even notice Nissan. Meanwhile Nissan focused on delivering what people wanted in a truck, minus the looks of course. Tbh, the older Titans are hideous creatures, but I'm in love with the latest generation.

you got a deal!

Carlos Ghosn ran Nissan to the ground through the 2000s-2010s. Nissan North America was begging corporate to update Titan because they knew the full-size truck boom was on the horizon. Such a shame because had they built upon the 04 earlier, they would've been a big player!

Let´s hope the 3rd one - if it comes - will be better again.

@@SvenQ45 That's a big if. A great place to start would be using their racing know how to bring out a proper Titan Warrior.

@@chiemekaa Yeah I wanna see that Warrior. Hopefully not like in the last 20 years some half baked thing...

@@hellkitty1014 Thats what happened when Renault merged with Nissan.

I love the nissan trucks just got the new frontier theses nissan trucks are so under raited very nice trucks

I got a 2012 king cab sv 4x4 l love it hauls ass and all my shit at the same time

I recently sold my 07 titan, but did your trucks rear end start humming?

290k on my 2005 Titan. Daily driver, putting 500 miles per week on it.

Same on my 04. Turned it into a damn demon. Lol

Thank you. Been saying it for years but the infotainment junkies seem to have the manufacturers ear and the extra coin to waste.

It's crazy you pay out the ass (60-80k) for a half ton truck that is guaranteed going to be less reliable for the ones you could buy for 35k not that long ago. It's disgusting.

Came here to say this. Especially for a pro 4x. Should’ve been closer to 25k

@@melchesgarage3283 Agreed

The inflated market is crazy right now. I could sell my 01 Silverado LS Z71 with almost 300k miles on it for close to 12k today. Just because good trucks are hard to come by these days. Paying 14k for a Titan Pro 4x with little more than 100k on it is almost unheard of, reason for the price being a little higher.

What does SE mean? My dad owns a nissan armada 2006 (with the same engine as the titan , the VK56)

I owned a 2011 and 2021 Titan. I’ve also drag raced my buddy’s 2005 Titan in my 21. His truck was faster off the line, but I started to reel him in around 50mph and was pulling out in front of him by 75mph. The acceleration characteristics of the 2nd Gen Titan seem to be opposite of the 1st Gen. I remember my 2011 was like a rocket from 0-50mph (1st gear), but then seemed immediately fall off. Higher speed acceleration like 60mph-80mph always seemed like a chore. The 2nd gens are the opposite. Power seems to be intentionally limited in 1st gear (probably for transmission reliability), so off the line acceleration is not that strong. Higher speed acceleration is MUCH faster though. Like it’s very easy to cross into triple digits without even realizing, something that certainly wasn’t the case in my 1st Gen.

@@splewy I think the 1st gen was quick but the 2nd gen was quicker with the 7spd and when they changed to the 9spd I felt it got slower?

@@occckid123 Yeah you’re probably right. Mine has the 9 speed and it feels like it’s programmed to pull a lot of power in 1st and 2nd gear. Like as soon as it shifts to 3rd it seems to really wake up. My guess they were trying to limit total transmission load for reliability.

@@splewy I watched a video of a titan and after 1st gear you can hear the engine growl deeper than 1st gear because I think it's pulling power in 1st gear also or is the engine not spinning freely enough for how short 1st gear is? I know nothing about that aspect but in the video game gran turismo you can opt for a racing flywheel so it revs quicker. It's definitely noticeable in neutral where the engine revs really quickly 2 redline when you put your foot down. Here in the realy world I wonder if they are using a good enough flywheel or does that only apply 2 manual transmissions!

@@occckid123 Yeah that seems to be the way the 9 speed Is programmed, it's doing the same in the Frontier.

Nissan name alone is enough for me to never consider one. Absolutely junk

@@jacobstrutner8232 Nissan trucks use different components compared to Thier other cars and usually you see them last a lot longer than the front transmission cars especially the older trucks

@@jacobstrutner8232 gtr? Z line up? Frontier? My 2000 frontier with 248k miles is still running

@@jacobstrutner8232 yeah, because none of the American brands have ever had quality issues...

That’s such an old joke. 🙄

Diesel?

@@raynellmoore68w nope, I looked at and drove one, but it really didn't make sense. The gasser won me over.

Good job on the perfectly executed spoiler alert! The spoiler was so well hidden!

I mean…. Ppl been saying this since ecoboost came out in 2011, since when ford had sold almost 1M f150s/yr, over half of which have had turbos attached. Even minor issues would be greatly known by now, statistically. Not saying they’re the best thing ever. Just that this argument is very tired.

@@upshifter5316 Agreed, turbo vs non turbo has very little to do with the engine design and quality control. Which is what will dictate how long it lasts.

@@upshifter5316 I had a 2018 f150 Eco/ boost 3.5 so did my brother so did my buddy & all between 80 to 110,000 miles had major problems, my brother & myself now have the same truck except for they now have the Coyote & my buddy switched to Chevrolet. So for me I have seen more than once the trouble with small engines with turbos, I personally won't spend my money on anymore turbos unless it's attached to a diesel.

Except they already have. Plenty of ecoboosts out there with 200k+

@@ericschaefer7378 mine, my brother's & my buddies sure didn't, no more than 110,000 before major problems. 110,000 was my buddies mine only got to 83,000.

I have an 06 titan it was passed down to me and it works very well and I’m ready for a new titan because I need the new tech

I have had a frontier and two XDs....once people are around them they like them. But yeah nissan brand is very hated don't know why. They make great trucks and SUVs (not so much on cars)

Yes got one 06neverhad problem yet but, got hit in the back of the truck and I need a bed,,after all it was a gift from big brother,only 130,but when I got it was 99000

Richard, un doble tubo de escape, no le vendrá mal.

I too have an 06 LE model ( bought new) and my story is the same as yours. I was looking at Tundras and came across the Titan. It was 10k less that the Tundra and had all the features. I towed a landscape trailer with it for 10 years and she shows no signs of stopping. She currently has 174k on the odometer and hasn't given me any problems other than routing maintenance. I upgraded the Banks exhaust 10 years ago adding JBA headers and a cold air intake. I think you'll love the exhaust.

I've got the Banks monster exhaust on my 08 4x4 and I absolutely love it!

@@Stuygymdid you go long or short tube jba’s

Same, it made the truck more reliable, more lively, sounds great. I love it

No past wrecks or any shop maintenance. Truck is completely stock, and only had one owner before me. And i have to say i love this truck. very good truck.

A first gen titan extended cab would will always be faster then a first gen titan crew cab due to the extended cab titan being lighter…..also traction control was available in the 2004 Titan but was optional and or came in the most expensive trim being the LE trim model. Originally the 2004 titan was available with 4 different trim models XE, SE, Off-Road and LE. The cheapest was the XE which was considered to be like the work truck trim that other manufacturers offer….then came the SE trim which was the most popular and the best value because you got a lot more features that people wanted and for a very reasonable price. Next up was the LE trim which was the most expensive titan trim and it was for those that wanted some luxury in their titan, such as dual power heated leather front seats, sunroof, dual zone ac, navigation,premium sound, rear passenger dvd entertainment display and it also got you TC and VDC. The last trim available was the off-road trim which was positioned right in the middle between the SE and LE trims, it was more expensive then the SE trim but less expensive then the LE trim. The off-road trim was basically an SE trim but with more off-road capability including a rear locker which you couldn’t get in other trims, plus a few extra features over the SE trim. It was later changed to the Pro 4X which was basically the same thing….The new for 2005 frontier also had an off-road trim called the nismo off-road trim, it came with the same off-road upgrades as the titan…which was also later changed to Pro 4X….

One of the other surprising things was it actually handled really well. I did put Bilstein shocks on it and it felt really tight even in the corners. I have a Chevy Colorado LT crew cab long bed 4x4 V6 now and it just doesn't seem to be as connected as the Titan to the road. It was a joy to drive. Although I like the Colorado and love the gas mileage The Titan just drove better all around. I do miss the torque and sound. @@subielife4life

@@tomearly111 yes they sure did handle really good especially compared to other trucks from the same time….the power was so addictive and really cool coming from a Japanese brand, they sure showed American brands that they too know how to make a V8 with big torque and fast ass acceleration and make it standard

No you didn't lol, these trucks barely could manage 15mpg unloaded on the highway

​@hitempguy mileage towing in 4th around 60mph is pretty decent. Barely changes I have a 12 and I tow a camper as well

My 05 has 290k and still daily driving it...they are great trucks

They were very underrated at 305hp. They dynoed stock in the 260's, and the "345hp" hemi's dynoed around the same or lower even

Yes I need a.bed that's all

I had a 07 Xterra bought in 2007 sold in 2014 0 issues. My mom still has her 2009 Pathfinder se bought brand new currently 101,000 miles 0 problems.

@@moonman_8935 take care of your car it'll take care of you

My new Frontier is the same.Also,the traction control is way to aggressive.I beat TFL's 0-60 time by almost 2 seconds by turning it off and manual shifting.They said it's the slowest new mid size,but it's only 2 10's of a second slower than the Ridgeline.

Subbed Bro, Lets talk Titans some time \m/ \m/

my infiniti M56x feels the same way, its a dog in first gear and pulls hard in 2nd. I trapped 106 in the quarter but only ran a 13.2 with a 2.033 60'

I'm going to try this with my 18 SL 4x4 later today.

@@NickAm01 Turn off the traction control or hold down your traction control button for 10 seconds to disable it.

Omg and the room, I'm 6'1 and it's so comfortable, ( rip anyone behind me{king cab})

I just bought a 2013 Pro4x. My Honda Element has more room. My sisters brand new Maverick has more room. But this Titan can go anywhere. Except for maybe my early Broncos. They were truly billy goats. I'm getting used to the Titan, though, lol.

That's real world shit. I had a 2003 4Runner 4.7AWD. Winter was the same for me. 8mpg in very cold temps if I started it and drove a couple miles. 16/17 HWY at 75ish. Horrible fuel mileage but I wish I never sold it
