Great video. I love the looks. They should make the pro 4x looks optional on other trims instead of old man chrome. I bet the pro 4x look would sell so many times more. Engine and transmission are great. Fantastic upgrades.

8:23 - Full Send, slams bumper/skid plate into the ground 11:38 - "I'm really worried about that bumper" 😂

It would really be nice to see someone who actually knows how to go through the mud. Number 1 rule while mudding you don't stop!

I think Titan did great, all it needs better offroad tire and few more inches of ground clearance. It's 4x4 system is not lacking.

Kinda shifted into Roman style. Gave up to early.

The Titan absolutely would have made it through there, momentum is your ally while mudding

It looked like a what not to do off road video. Going through the mud so slow the tires cant clean out . then backing up hill in deep ruts while turning the wheel sharp? Why???

That was kinda painful to watch. You're not rock crawling, mud requires momentum not stop go stop go. I'm not a huge Nissan fan but that truck could've went further.

I have seen tfloffroad take a 4 runner through heavy 3inch ice. But bail on this Titan at the deepest point when it wasn't challenged yet. I enjoy the reviews but this seemed biased IMO. That Titan would have finished if you let it.

he stopped way to early, it would have made it, TFL, is very very critical of nissan , they are never of chevy , ford or ram, and they suck up to toyota, like saying nissan needs premium fuel for top power ratings, well gm's 6.2 also needs premium fuel for there power ratings, but never say that , and look at their video of razor rocks, with titan and trail boss and titan made it look easy going over them and trail boss struggled, but put down titan, and praised trail boss,

90% driver error.

You only ever mentioned being in four high, I'm curious if you ever switched to four low and locked that rear differential when you were trying to get out of the shit?

So many trucks have been through those ruts that the center is so high won't be long no stock trucks will be able to get through there. Don't blame the Titan, seems like a decent truck. 😎👍🤙🇺🇸

Those badges and stitching and various other trim pieces are actually a shade of orange, not red.

Parking sensors automatically turn off when in 4-Low.

11:45 - 13:45: operator error. Truck's just a tool.

I really like the Titan, I know its not class leading but it's a solid work horse with a great warranty

A lot of people talk about off roading and their trucks never even see terrain rougher that a parking lot. I’ve been through some stuff others would think twice about in a 2wd xterra. The Titan gives you a locking rear which a lot of trucks don’t come with and has LSD which a lot of trucks don’t come with also. The main thing people need to know about taking the beaten path is to drive smart, think about your approach and good AT or mud terrain tires and clearance are more important than anything else when off road.

I think if Nissan had thrown on some of the General Grabber A/TX tires you would have done better in the mud. But they also probably went with something that was going to be a little less aggressive, even though it's their off-road variant, not everyone will be using it as such.

If I were doing an off-road/overland model, the interior would have neoprene seats; waterproof switches, controls and entertainment system. There'd be easily removed carpet, with rubber pad and/or bedliner coated floorboards with drain plugs. Also, I'd partner with aftermarket suppliers to offer dealer installed suspension lift/upgrades, bull bars, swing bumpers (with spare mounts), upgraded armor, dual battery, on-board air (CTIS?), exterior aux lighting, maybe a smallish built in frig, awning, upgraded tires, etc. Leave the leather, fancy stitching and fake roll bar for other models.

He has a skid plate but keeps going about the bumper? SEND IT!!!!

Love the Titan. Best truck I've ever owned.

A more aggressive tire and a delete on the parking sensors, and you're all set for off-road

For all those saying that Steve gave up too early, you can hear the first full send where he smashed the bumper, which is not a good thing to do especially in a press car. Therefore, to stop when it’s stuck, Steve made the correct decision to not damage the car further.

The look on Steven’s face and then sweet talking the truck is how every person acts when stuff starts going bad. Love it.

What's better than one TFL video on a Sunday morning? Two videos from TFL on a Sunday morning!! Great video content as usual bro!! Stay safe out there!!

I've always been a Chevy/GM fan but I bought a Titan this year...and I don't regret it one bit. Titan is assembled here in America and most parts for it are manufactured here too (more than any of the Big 3). Comparatively, it is actually MORE American than those 3. I smoked a Silverado just the other day, 2nd day off the lot lol. Also, I can absolutely get that truck, with those tires through that mud...this demonstration was thrown BC we can't hurt the media vic.

The Titan would have gone through that, my 2019 Titan gets me through much worse when hunting, but you have to be confident, definitely had your mind made up about the truck before you tried, the wind dam on my 2019 F150 is lower than my Titan and would have been dragging a lot more, and ford put Pirelli Scorpions on it, now they were bad, I do agree with Daniel S. it seems the media is biased toward the Nissan, too bad they are great trucks.

I have a 2019 px4 titan. The driveline is great, but like any stock truck, the main limiting factor is clearance. You could put a 8" lift fit on a AWD tesla and get through these trails no problem. When you are in mud and ruts, clearance is king and way more important then locking diffs as both tires are spinning freely though the open diffs.

Awesome video! I think it’s a handsome truck! Can’t wait for the new redesign Nissan frontier 2021!

Titan are the most underrated trucks...

His reactions when he’s backing out of the mud. Priceless! Lol!

Stephen, you have run the 4Runner TRD Pro through that in ICE and thrashed on it. Proving it can handle the hard stuff. I feel you must've got slapped down for that and are not allowed to bang the newbies up anymore. lol. While I agree press vehicles should be respected, people have come to your hydro Line tests to get the real deal feel. lol. You know that truck would have done it had you not been tethered back.

The engine and transmission are excellent, the truck is very quick. No cylinder deactivation, no auto stall, no turbos. The infotainment system is very good also. Seats are comfy but they sit too high in the vehicle and the wheel doesn’t tilt down far enough. Camera clarity needs to be improved. I have had mine for about a month.

If you go into the menu you can turn off emergency braking and it will keep the parking sensors off. (Must be done every-time you restart the truck) You can also add the Icon Vehicle Dynamic suspension system which gives you a 2” lift and it also rides much better on the road. I just upgraded mine at the dealer and it keeps the 100k warranty. The difference is significant over the standard Billstiens.

The titan pro4x XD is my dream truck. Can't wait to get one in three years lol

The Titan will make it. You can’t stop in the deep mud you will sink keep forward momentum. I have an 18 pro 4x and have made it through deeper soup. Also it’s all about the experience of the driver and their experience with the truck.

Best move TFL has done is getting you on the team for truck reviews. Love this truck, will be my next purchase when the F 150 dies

Not sure why everyone reviews this truck with the general grabbers. Those tires are made for dry dirt roads only.

I really like how this proved this truck is just an appearance package

I really hope this truck sells well this year. It’s a underrated Offroad machine. Next time I’m on the market for a new truck, the titan pro4x is going to be at the top of my list

My 2019 Pro4x would've done that trail with ease.

That truck needs wrangler duratracs. I like the tow hooks and the driver side grab handle on the A pillar...you hear me Toyota?? Nice truck but I just got a 20 TRD OFF ROAD Tundra. I get my truck in September. I went with reliabilty and Quality of Toyota. Stephen, you really do put the trucks thru their paces. You probably could have kept going. I would make my Tacoma do it.

I own a 2011 Titan Pro-4x. Mine has a mini-lift (+2" coilovers up front, +1" blocks in back, Fox 2.0 shocks all around) and more aggressive tires and it makes a massive difference in the off road capability of the truck. I drive a lot of trails pretty similar to this and never got stuck.

Put a 3-6 inch lift on it, some 33-35 inch MT’s and you’re good to go.

This is one of the most capable half tons on the market. First tip, you want 400 horses.....traction control off. Second the truck has a badass locker in the rear. I own an 18 and its a beast in sticky situations. I have a 2 inch leveling kit and Mts and no locker.

Would replace those grabbers with Cooper AT3's as soon as they wore out enough.

You quit too early in that one hole!

You could have pushed through it. The SKID PLATE you kept calling the bumper was wider than the middle of the track and is ment to skid along when needed. I'm surprised you didn't gun through it like you usually do with the other brands. Turn off traction control and offroad that thing. It's made for it. Keep up the great work you do! I test drove a SV with all the bells and whistles. It was a beast. I really like the steering being a little heavy (like a truck) and it had an over abundance of power. Comfy and good visibility compared to Chevy. Good interior. I'll probably go with a Pro4X trim as I off road often. Discounts and deals should bring these down at least 10k

I think you would have needed more clearance than just about every truck in the market to make it over that rock while in the ruts. I do think those tires are only okay.. Put some Falken Wildpeaks on it and that would be a much better rig for the hydroline.

Although NO WHERE near as capable, I so miss my Nissan mini trucks / commuter trucks from the 80's and early 90's.

I'll still buy the pro 4x as tested. Im not too hardcore into off roading so this titan works for me. Plus I feel comfortable in it

I'm so glad my ZR2 has no parking or reverse sensors, that would be so annoying on the trail. That Nissan would do great with a lift and some aggressive tires.

If the belly drags , it's just about over for any truck !

Nissan just needs to release and put into production the Titan Warrior Concept, then it can really be competitive with the off road package.

Everyone knows you don’t “Creep” thru mud. Momentum and hi revs are the trick.

That's a great looking truck, but the warrior still looks so much better. Once again, another great honest review.

Sounds to me all then titan needs in order to take on the mud is: 2"lift, and better tires.

Gosh I love this truck, just got mine. Gun Metal and man I'm dying to take it on 4WD lo. Some time soon.

As others have said, the only thing that was holding it back was the tires. If you were going to be doing hydroline regularly it might make sense to open the Nissan accessories catalog and get those Icon dampers that give you a 3 inch lift. But it is probably not needed for the sort of off roading most people do.

Have a 2017 S RWD, took it's first run through the ice in Texas that hit a few weeks back. Absolutely no traction whatsoever, slid perpendicular in the middle of this back road that sloped on both sides into culverts. Backed up to ditch, put it in 1st gear and through 6inches of ice it got traction and made it up a hill. Full believer in operator but I get he didn't want to break anything and pay for it.

I was going to pick one up, but for overlanding I’m looking more towards the power wagon

Let's all be clear here. There's a fine line between driver ability and vehicle ability. You never just slam on the brakes when entering a deep rut. That's just asking for problems in any stock off roading truck

Nice review, the Titan is a good looking truck and capable.

I don't think you gave the Titan a fair chance you basically went into the rut and said oop we are done. Mudding is all about pushing farther and you didn't push at all

Maybe a quality leveling kit to improve that approach angle and of course a good set of tires could help... Still fairly impressed with the truck!

Tires would definitely help, but I am sure the stock tire choice was made with fuel economy in mind. I know that won't make sense to some people because this is an "offroad" version of the truck, but more aggressive tires and removing the air dam would impact the mileage. Manufacturers have a lot to balance when making these choices.

The custom trail boss would of handled that with no problem. It also sales between 38,000,-43,000 dollars.

i love to watch this guy! he really push to limit

Ya know, this video makes me feel like this was an off road truck designed by an excel spreadsheet. They just went down the list of what others had done, and gave it many of the parts that others had. While having no off road understanding or experience. The parking sensor behavior is the perfect example.

I love the truck raised it up about 3 inches. Put some Coopers on it the truck performs awesome when you have somebody. That knows how to drive it..

That lisence plate placement for an offroad version is hilarious! How much approach angle does it remove?😂

I like it. More comparable to Chevy Z71 and Ford FX4. A 2 inch lift and some real tires would probably transform this thing. Same can be said for the Z71 and FX4. Do you think 35"s will clear the factory fender wells? They seem pretty tight.

Nothing a leveling kit can't fix man . truck was doing great .

The Trail Boss is no match for the Titan, it's open diff on the front, and yes, auto rear locker but once the rear lost all the traction the the front diff will also if it doesn't have enough traction. The Titan has rear locker and front ABLS which has the advantage over the Trail Boss except it's not lifted.

I have one pro 4x....best truck I never owned period......talk and laugh all you want but if you want the best American made truck.... it the Titan ...it more American made than the other big 3....love it... made in the USA 🇺🇸

You chose to take street tires into 9+” m in deep mud. You got what you asked for. Almost stuck. And then the Titan DID manage a 3-pt despite the way you tried to get it out of the track. Yes, street tires aren’t Moab or foot deep material. How did the Titan do for 5800 lbs and street tires? Damn fine!!

Good to see it’s 2020 and Nissan is still using trash cameras

It does look way better, but can you imagine if Nissan would have built the Warrior, what a boom to their sales it would have been. Still way better looking the truck than it has been, can’t wait for the RAM TRX and the new Tundra to come out.

I own a 2019 and I wish they would have put a digital speedo in the center. It is the only thing I miss over my Chevy. Great Video

He’s worried about a front bumper but backs over a tree! Lol!!!!

Thanks for the video! I just bought one to upgrade from my 2005 Titan! But never planned on doing much mudding. Some light occasional hauling, but that's it. How is it on payload?

Your Dad knew those tires and soft suspension wouldn't pass the test. I heard it in his voice when he said "I don't know."

I was going to buy a titan exacty like this one with options. But got a different full size truck instead. But its a big difference over previous models.

It's the tires. The titan has ample power and torque, but Nissan knows 90% of people that own the trucks will never take it off-road. Wish they gave the Pro-4X knobbier tires, but I guess they want to make it more road-friendly

Geez. $70K for a truck ... Pretty "normal" these days but that's whack.

So, I'm from Quebec, I ride an ATV and in here the cops will give us ticket in the woods if we go out of club trails, they patrol it with atv... Can you believe, it's crazy, I'm not talking of riding in a farmer's crop, that would be stupid of course, I'm just talking of going into the wood outside the dirt road... Makes you wonder just how free we really are nowaday...

All the Pro-4X needs is 1-2 inches more ground clearance, fox shocks, and better tires.

Very nice truck, and i like the front look... Titan Pro4x needs batte off-road tires(Nitto), and 3' lift...

I'm gonna make videos where I creep slowly at 5mph into mud holes then leave my opinion on how bad a truck sucks because it didn't make it thru. 😂

I think you're wrong. The Titan performed pretty good considering the tires , on the other hand you didn't try to finish. With better tires will be a very good option.

Was he trying to crawl through mud? And with the locker off? Turn the parking sensors off in the settings, its an option. Bad media for the Titan. 🤦‍♂️

That Titan looks reaaally sharp!

Better tires and a higher lift, she would have went through just fine. I got the 2019 and the 4x4 on her is amazing.

great video Stephen ,this Titan Pro -4X for 2020 has allot of strengths over previous years and competitors, the powertrain especially, 60:1 crawl ratio is the best over any other full size truck by far, the only thing stopping it and you from going further up the trail was the tires and you said it at 2:53 all terrain tires is the Achilles heel of this truck when it comes to your hydro trail , which in my opinion is one of the best used on youtube reviews and the 2nd one was you do not own the truck and are being responsible for it, I know i did almost 9 yrs in the industry myself , the rest of this truck is kicks ass over the competition, in almost every way and have heard the sound system its sick and rocks out play some of your dads old favourite tunes and he'll tell you Hell yeah brother, Nissan could have gone a step farther and did like Chevy Trail Boss and used lift blocks on the body and gain instant 2" of lift and tires and it will have the same ability off road with the same tires , I'd say buy it and go aftermarket lift that is a quality package that keeps your front end geometry correct and off road tires going up to 35's of your choice and you'd be set for the next 10/12 years, the only truck to outlast it would be a Tundra TRD Pro great video once again Stephen, your thoroughness is your strength 👍

I love the design and that color! Those Nissan V8's just sound so good. All new trucks just seem so overpriced though. Thats why I have a 2011 Titan still going 💪!

Dude has skid plates for days and is afraid of grass...

Junk. For that price you are in Raptor territory. And that thing ain’t getting stuck.

I was running clay after the rains yesterday in the desert in 2wd in a gmc Denali 4x4 but I never needed 4 wheel the way it is setup. The way the Denali rear axle is setup you dont need a push button locker it does it all for you. Thank gm for the E80 locker

Tires tires tires. Nice truck. I’d lose the bars in the back. It would have made it but you can’t be damaging the press vehicle so it was wise to stop. I’m waiting for the new Frontier. If they make it slightly larger I’ll be happy.
