BIG THANKS TO BMW OF HAWAII FOR MAKING THIS VIDEO POSSIBLE!

I couldn't agree with this review more. I absolutely love my Titan diesel. I have a contracting company and owning multiple other diesel trucks all very disappointing. I tried the Titan diesel because I had a gas one years ago and loved it. This truck is truly well built. I agree culture has a huge part to do with it people seem to impose flaws on this truck that don't really exist because it's different and doesn't fall under the major manufacturers

I bought a 2016 Titan SL diesel brand new and still own it with 118,000 miles. Problems I have had requiring replacement repairs was an EGR cooler replacement at 90,000 miles (It had a pinhole leak and Nissan gave me the repair for half price ~$1500 after I persistently showed them it is a known problem with many occurrences online hence probably why the new EGR cooler is an updated version). I replaced the AC/heater blower motor at 110,000 miles which was an easy KZfaq fix (~$100). I also had to replace a fuel injector at 100,000 miles. For those that do not know, it looks like an engine gets blown when it happens (hint...stop driving and get it towed to the shop!). Fuel injector was replaced without issues (~$400). Problems I currently have is that the coolant reservoir level sensor is poorly engineered and will give you a false low level that puts you in limp mode (I have replaced the coolant reservoir/level sensor twice ~$300 and it still happens). This was an easy KZfaq fix by unscrewing the level sensor from the bottom and lowering it about an inch held up by a securely taped on bolt (and no, it doesn't leak if you unscrew it). I also have to fill the power steering fluid from low level every year which is concerning, but manageable. Other than that, it runs great and have had no other issues. Overall, I am completely satisfied and have never experienced the major repair horror stories of the Big 3 trucks that usually occur prior to 80,000 miles. Although the touch screen display is lacking (again, its 2016), the Rockford Fosgate stereo gets compliments from everybody who listens to it and interior leather is still holding up well. I get compliments on my truck from Ram and GM diesel owners at work all the time because it still looks almost new. Is ~$2,300 corrective maintenance too much work/problems for a 2016 truck with 118,000 miles?...I don't think it is if you have some repair knowledge and pull out some KZfaq certified mechanic to help save some cost. Of course, its a shared vehicle which also helps.

First honest Titan report! After my Ram Eco Diesel, my Titan is GOLD!

Love my 2016 Nissan Titan XD Pro 4X, got it used with 6k miles for under 40K. Tow 2-3 horses regularly and travel pretty frequently. Been an amazing truck for us!!

I have a 17 titan xd 94k miles. Pulled 10k fifthwheel,auto trailer, deck over trailer keep maintenance up treat it right tow within its numbers, mountains and flatland , wind and snow. It’s the perfect truck for all around use Cosmetically awesome and no problems. Yes a very solid built truck and steady towing platform. Love mine 😊

I’m a die hard ford guy but I made the swap from a 15 eco boost f150 to the 18 titan xd Cummins and man this truck it’s just that, it’s a truck! Not a race car not a semi but an every day work horse meant to eat the miles and do what ever the weekend worrier has to throw at it! I love mine, it’s too bad Nissan is cutting it off this December. Yes ford ram Chevy all are in the 30k lbs range for towing, and that’s fine but for a person like myself the titan xd is an excellent compromise.

Most under rated truck on the market.

I have a 2018 Nissan Titan I bought 2 yrs ago with 40k miles now it has 90k and I’ve never had any problems at all and I tow a trailer every day for work

It truly is a great truck! We have put 18,000 working miles on our '18 model Midnight Edition in less than a year. I have been a diehard Ram owner for over 25 years and I followed Cummins development of their ISV 5.0 package into this XD. I thought it would be in a Ram, but this was the package presented. Truth be told, it's just so much truck for the money and performs better than any Ram I've owned/operated previously. ...and that includes 5.7, 6.4 Hemi trucks and 5.9 Cummins trucks. Do the 6.7 Cummins make more power now? Sure. But that's not the point. The Chassis, stability, oversized brakes, comfortable ride, towing manners, fuel economy, 5 year warranty, and more, make this the best truck for me. I would do it again in a heartbeat! If this truck had even 25% of the marketing and support the Big 3 have, it would be a huge success! I still regularly have people warn me at the pumps, because they have no idea that Nissan offered this amazing diesel truck! Lol! It always leads to a fun conversation, and I've given a lot of test rides to folks. It's fun to see them light up when they realize just how American this Nissan branded XD really is! Thanks so much for the video! It's refreshing! Keep up the great work!

Just hit 100,000 miles on my 2017 Nissan Titan XD Platinum reserve. without a doubt one of the smoothest trucks I've ever driven feels much better than my father's f250. Although the Nissan needs a better center console. Still good buy for me, got mine for 34k

The nissan titan is like the red headed step child no one wants. But it's honestly a beautiful truck imo

I love mine! Best truck I’ve ever owned. Thank you for your honesty , we also love our 2006 LX470 ! We bought the LX because of your review and research.

I have owned two titans and love them both. My first titan got slammed in the rear so hard the coil springs in the car that hit me popped out and was rolling down the road. Three vehicles were involved counting my truck, two were totalled and had to be towed away, mine was the only one that drove home. My 2007 titan tailgate came unhinged on one side only, a bent bumper, and a slight dent on the fender where the rear bumper was pushed into it. The tail lights were fully intact. I was so impressed with how well it held together I bought another new one back in 2013. It now has 130,000 miles and I'm ready for a 3rd. Perhaps a 2020 model.

I was looking into this truck with the Cummins V8 diesel. I had a Duramax in ‘02, and wanted to get back into diesel. This engine however, didn’t have the power I had hoped for in a V8 and it clatters which told me it might not have the tech that the big 3 have in their diesels. Nissan ditched this diesel due to some issues which is a shame. It was at least $10k less than any other truck and the Nissan looks cool.

I have the 2017 Titan XD. In five years... no problems and great service towing our Cougar fifth-wheel. It is not a race car... it is a truck set up for luxury towing.

Love my 16 XD Platinum Reserve. Bought it with 9,000 miles for 36k back in 2018. D3l3ted at 30,000 miles and wow, made a world of difference. Throttle response is better. Aside from the transmission short shifting/upshifting too soon even under moderate to heavy throttle it drives like it should. Love it! Had 4 inch straight pipe and it sounded amazing, loved the turbo sound at idle and the wind up when you first hit the throttle. Put the afe muffler and now it's too quiet but I'm sure it will get more sound though.

I wasn't really a fan of nissan titans until I saw the used car market prices for a low mile fully loaded 2016-2019 Titan with the cummins engine. Pricing is way better than ram or ford for similar higher end trim levels.

‘17 Titan XD SL, 5.0 Cummins Turbo Diesel, 8’ bed, Regular Cab. Best truck I’ve ever driven. Love my Truck!

My only issue is then discontinuing the 5.0. I would have deleted anyways but I’ve heard you can’t get turbos anymore. People are wearing for parts for months for this thing. I test drove one yesterday and the dealer said the truck was traded in because the previous owner was waiting on a recall part to come in and it took so long he traded it in on a RAM 2500.

Bought a 18 Platinum Reserve diesel with 15k on it, put another 12k towing a 5thwheel around the US a few times. I absolutely love this truck and it’s handling and performance. I’ve had diesel Land Rover discovery’s and Toyota Land Cruisers both great vehicles but nothing comes close to the titan XD

I just picked up a Titan, gas not diesel. The reason I did is because my Nissan Frontier finally wore out after 16 years beating it up and down at 6 Mi dirt road pulling about 600 lb with a carpentry tools with over 200,000 miles on it. I hope it's big brother proves just as tough.

Absolutely my love my titan. It’s not a 3/4 ton so it’s not fair to compare to others. It’s the best heavy duty half ton ever. Cummins is AWESOME

Agree with Joe: awesome truck. I am an original owner of a 2016 XD diesel. Big gripe is the 26 gal tank is way too small.

My next truck, no problem. You are right about the diesel culture and people not wanting anything other than big 3. It's why here in Indiana the value of these is low, and why I am going to get a good deal!

Just hit 45k in my XD SV Cummins. Still absolutely loving it.

Loving my 2017 Titan XD. Granted, it's fully deleted and tuned, so that takes care of most of the issues these trucks have.

I have a 04 Nissan titan with about 191k miles on it and still drivers amazing drives better than most trucks!

I’d love to get my hands on one of these when the lease on my F150 runs out next year. From what I’ve read, this is the perfect truck when you need a little more than a half ton, but not quite a 3/4 ton.

Just traded in my 2017 Titan pro4x. It was an early build and I know better. New motor at 12000kms. Dash rattles...steering rack issues. Coolant smell all the time. Just junk. But.....I love the Titan pro4x...I just didnt like "that" truck. Traded it on the exact same truck. Just a 19. 3 years of assembly now have all the trouble areas ironed out. I love my 2019 Titan Pro4x.

I owned a 2017 Titan XD Platinum Reserve, and it was one heck of a truck. Mine had the 5.6 Endurance gas engine, and it had plenty of power and pickup. I put 16,000 trouble free miles on it, and there are days I miss it. I traded it in for a 2019 RAM Limited, mostly for the updated technology, and the crazy deals they had in June (close to 30% off sticker). The XD was just a little too big for an everyday driver for me. But, for what I paid with a 6 year 100,000 mile warranty included...it was a great buy.

I've owned a standard 2017 Titan pro4x V8, great truck! I have a 2018 Titan XD Platinum Reserve Cummins now, great truck! Don't listen to people who haven't owned one themselves. I recommend either the Standard Titan or the XD, both are very different trucks. The standard Titan feels like any good 1/2 ton with a very powerful V8. The Titan XD Cummins feels like a 3/4 ton for the most part, it's a much heavier truck.

Mine is an amazing truck..Mike Barney Nissan in Amherst NY who I bought it from sucks and Nissan customer service blows... So unfortunately I won't be getting another one. The truck is definitely rock solid.

Joe, I have the Tacoma TRD Pro. After watching this video just re-enforced my decision to go for the Titan diesel platinum. My local dealer just got one. I’ll get a lot for my money. Thank you the video. (2017 platinum diesel 32K)

Got me a 2018 already 53.000 miles and no problems at all is a great truck 🔥

Thank you for this video and honest review. I live in Whitehorse, Yukon Territories, Canada where it is currently -30. Today I will go to the Nissan dealership and decide whether I want to buy a 2017 Nissan Titan XD Pro-4X (shiny deep blue color, 6.6" box brand new Wrangler tires, 2" lift, absolutely beautiful) OR a 2017 Nissan Titan XD Cummins diesel. This truck is black and a little dented in areas but it's being detailed and it also has the 6.6' box with a hard cover. I can't decide! If the diesel was in the beautiful shiny truck it would be a done deal immediately.

Park it in a tight spot, with vehicles on both sides, that is how you know what daily use will be like. Nissan has been building and selling good solid trucks for 40 years in the USA. I would buy one.

I own a 2016 with the diesel. I have 117k on it no issues.

Love your channel and your the only smart person giving the respect to the Titan , sadly I got rid of mine a week before the announcement of production ending .... I do miss it and it was an awesome truck !!!! 1 flaw I didn’t like was the cab would smell during regen/ it also went into regen to often ... other than that it was great truck !!!

Just hit 50k on my 2016 XD and I’m still in love

I bought a 2012 Titan SV Heavy Meatal 2.5 years ago the truck is 7.5 years old runs great. My next truck will be another Titan.

Love my Titan XD diesel. Have no problems. Pulls my camper like it is not behind me.

I owned a 16 Titan XD PR. It's a great truck, but was lacking in some major ways. Very bad shifting in stop and go traffic, too little towing capacity for its weight, no folding or extending mirrors, no sunroof, and horrible infotainment system. With that said it rode great, looks amazing, very nice interior, plenty of space and storage, and amazing stereo system.

I have a 2018, I've had mine for a year at 21,xxx now, perfect for what I want done, great truck

Used to work at a Nissan and I love those trucks

ive had mine a couple months now. 2019 xd midnight. The power is biggest complaint. after about 3500-4000 rpm it will pick up a little and is a little more responsive after you hit around 45mph. It has less than 400 hp and and almost 500'lb torque. So not really in the same market as other trucks its size compared to hp and torque. The DPF system is also a major restriction. Mine has already been replaced by the manufacturer at 5000 miles! I bought the GM demo at 4700 miles so they didnt drive it right. of course it is under warranty and the replacement was free. If you lose the DPF system, Hp and torque will increase greatly so after the warranty, mine is coming off . But, as far as comfortability, I think titan is on point. durability, will run forever. My 2011 titan SL is still running hard at 200,000 miles and ive drive it like im running from the police everyday. only thing ive done to it is basic tune up. Ive added some after market performance parts to speed it up a little too. This is my third titan, went with the diesel because of the added towing capacity. Just wish it had more power and of course that can be achieved easily for around $6,000 after the warranty is up. so i will be saving a little money over the next 100,000 miles when the warranty expires to drop the DPF and add new exhaust, intake, injectors etc. Edelbrock makes a complete kit for this truck to give around 600+ hp and much more torque. So, not as much hp or torque, but very comfortable and durable and hp and torque can be added later.

This truck is more than enough for 90% of the people who buy trucks.

I'll just say the 5.0 Cummins has bottom end issues and fueling problems. Be careful wading into it and hardly any other support outside of the dealership

Yet every Japanese Motorcycle brand and Indian have a list of a Harley clones in their portfolios...

Just got my 2019 titan with the Cummins. Traded off my tuned and deleted 2015 Duramax after it hit 150k and a long list of problems. Literally all this Titan has to do is be affordable, not brake down every hunting season and not have random alarm codes from GM electronics and it’ll be better than any GMC or Chevy than I’ve ever owned. 😂

The biggest problem is the Cummins 5.0 liter Has issues with the timing chain tensioner, the lube system, two many failures with the 5.0 , do your research, the Nissan is great, to bad it didn’t come with the 5.9 or 6.7 liter Diesel.

I hope to pick one up after I graduate from college. Disappointing that Nissan is dropping the Cummins though.

If Toyota made a 3/4, 1 ton diesel everyone else would be toast after a few years.

Prefect size what I need to do. Love mine 17 XD 5.0

Love this channel .... your correct about the Titan

Toyota's decision not to put this same engine in the Tundra was one of the biggest mistakes ever. Unfortunately I cannot get past the styling of the Nissan. I've also never been happy with Nissan's 4 wheel drive system but I hear it has improved quite a bit. I do get irritated about the claim the engine was designed exclusively for this truck though. It was not. It was made available for Toyota and Nissan.

Well, I bought a 2019XD about six weeks ago. It's an awesome driving truck. The only issues so far are the diesel smell when it goes into regen. Oh, and the resale value/trade value is terrible!

I have 2 2017 Cummins Titans. One is a Single cab and the other one is a 4door. The single cab HAULS ASS once you floor it. The other one is lfc a bit slower due to more weight. But so far the Single cab I've ran it againts few truck and cars. And it has kept up. Including the Big 3 diesels.

I have my Nissan Titan XD for about 2 years, I regret buying this truck. All my fuel system went down, I put in 11.000 dollars and Nissan didn’t do anything about it. They only give you 36000 miles warranty. My was 37000. It’s a shame.

16 titan xd diesel here, accelerating lags almost got me into accidents multiple times. Love what it does and try to live with it but had to trade it in.

In the truck market I would seriously take a look at the v8 diesel. I used to hear alor about v8 diesels being unreliable under today's standards. Why would nissan put that motor rather then a Deteoit or navistar

You got this video a bit wrong. I've owned 2 f450's, a couple 350's, a GMC Topkick, and an LBZ Sierra. What these ALL have in common that the XD diesel doesn't is capacity. That Nissan is an upgraded half-ton. That limits it's capabilities. The XD Cummins tows 15.5k on a 5th/gooseneck and 11k on the bumper. That's at the bottom of a 3/4 or 1 ton. My 5th wheel is 14k lbs. With all my stuff in it, it'd be maxed out before my fat butt got inside. With a 3/4 or bigger, I'm at the bottom of the tow capacity for even the smaller gas engine. To get that tow rate from a half-ton, they have to shift harder and ride harder. They have a smaller frame, smaller axles, and much less cooling. Also why that 5.0 v8 Cummins was notorious for overheating under load. So no, it's not from being a overly capable 1/2 ton that's rougher to drive. It's because they tried to carve a niche market that couldn't sustain itself. It was the same price as a nicely loaded 3/4 ton and that 3/4 ton was built for the rough and tumble. It wasn't a half-ton wearing a muscle suit.

I have a 2008 gas engine 5.6 225k miles and its still strong as hell same engine and transmission....only problem is now Im afraid to buy a other kind because I mite be disappointed because this titan is so damm reliable...

Ask someone who bought a 2500/3500 diesel and they would say Cummins (if purchased a ram) they don't say the truck brand just the engine, the same brand that's under the hood of a Titan XD so why didn't it do well . . . less than 500 lbs of payload and roughly 1,000 lbs towing from gas to diesel and a extra $5,000 price tag. probably why there dropping it, poor sales (a good tuning would fix this Nissan) That being said I like them, pretty sharp looking and wouldn't mind having one.

My XD was in the shop 8 times in the first 30k miles. Just a nightmare of check engine lights. I may have gotten a bad one, but I’ll never have another. Great truck when it was working properly though. I could never fully enjoy it because I knew that light was gonna come back on at any time.

Got a 17 pro4x, gasser Great truck 70k on it still happy when i see her washed. Info center is worst part, very dated. Just saw 12.1" android aftermarket screen, Phoenix audio px6, that looks cool.

I'm thinking about picking one of these up. I've owned 4 Toyota's, but I'm not a fan of their newest trucks, and the used market is way overpriced.

Love my XD 2017 but it already is starting to rust in the wheel wells. I have a feeling that the engine will outlive its body.

I think the only problem that it’s a Nissan honestly, I just saw a red one, I believe it was a Texas edition, it was honestly beautiful

A lot of people complain about the titan except a lot of the owners we like them

I see a lot of complaints that turbo and other engine components are impossible to source...they say run from this diesel !!!

2017 sv 4x4 cc titan here with the 5.6 gas. Hellava truck just like my 2013 version was.

Awesome truck talk to you at 350k miles it will be still nice and still going

I have a 16 titan xd platinum reserve, 4wd, cummins. I hate it. The dealership hasnt figured out the squeak issue in the hood and its been almost 4 yrs like this. 3rd brake light has cracked and been replaced 3 times already. Steering wheel wood trim cracked but was replaced by dealership. Subwoofer went out within the first 3 days of owning it, immediate return to dealer. The transmission is absolutely junk. Bangs through every gear. Bad lag in throttle response. I miss my pwr extending or folding mirrors on my ford. The truck isnt sure if its a real truck or a home depot shuttle. I cant wait til its paid off, bc i know i cant get the value for it on trade. I sill happily go back to a ford and enjoy reliability from a proven platform. At least now i can say i own an obsolete engine.

I have a 2013 Nissan Titan SV crew cab which I love because it’s got everything I want and is not too pretty with all the chrome! I like the size, turn radius and the bigger rear sliding window... The body style changes I am not too warm on..

Well I have titan xd 2018 and I love it

Clearly nobody in this comment section has actually worked on one of these trucks…1 the injector pumps are prone to failure, 2 the DPF/DEF systems are crap at best, 3 head gaskets fail at 60-80 k 4 injectors are prone to failure, fuel filtration is sub par (hence the fuel system failures) 5 variable geometry turbo failures and many more to come as they age…they’re horribly inefficient and gutless…you’re a salesman’s wet dream if you think driving around the parking lot is considered a “test drive”😂😂😂

It is a very nice truck. If i could afford it I'd buy it

I'm pretty sure I heard Nissans are built in America? Really like the price of Nissan trucks.

I got a 2019 XD Midnight edition… 42k on the dash….. just got my first engine light…. I think it’s a o2 sensor…. But it put my engine in limp mode and I can’t get it in for 2 weeks. They are great trucks but there isn’t enough techs to work on them at Nissan.

I owned 2 Ram 2500's diesel 5.9, I have a 17 diesel, like it much better than the Ram

Love my Titan XD Cummins

I think it failed not because of the big 3, but because it’s filling a niche within a 1/2 ton and a 3/4 ton. A niche that just is falling through the cracks. 1/2 ton people mostly run from diesels unfortunately. And 3/4 and 1 ton people are trying to pull a mountain and want to squeeze every ounce of torque out of them. I like the idea of the Titan Cummins simply because I think diesels are a better more efficient engine. I would snuff gasoline engines from the planet if I had my say. Your getting more torque and better fuel economy at a lower RPM which equates to longevity. What’s not to like? I am looking at a 2.8 liter Cummins crate motor right now. Thanks for the video! I may start keeping my eye open for one!

Question, I’m thinking about that titan, but I need to know if it would work pulling a tank for asphalt? 10,000 pounds

Great trucks I have a 19 love it.

I think people are nit picky over it because they’re mad it’s not American so they are looking for things wrong with it. With that being said the Cummins engine is definitely appealing. But from my experience a truck from Japan will never be as reliable as a truck from America.

My generation would 100% buy a diesel Toyota pickup. I've been wanting it for a decade. I know many people that would rather have a Toyota that's set up like a F250

first ... the third gear shift flare is a well known issue! When cold the titan xd with the Aisin will “slip” when shifting from second to third under medium/hard throttle. Second- EGR coolers are known to leak and are only covered under a 50k warranty. Third - steering issues have plagued the titan xd. It’s not poorly designed imo. Fourth - the fuel mileage is horrible and the power compared to the big three is a bit off Fifth- imo the build quality of mine is horrible. My entire roof is cracked, my rear door latch was loose from factory and rubbed door paint, driver door panel has been repaired and needs replaced, I have Tony’s steering issue and the third gear slip. Overall I love the truck! Nissan and Nissan dealers make me want to trade it in. I’m in between a f250 tremor and a manual transmission 2500 dodge. I was a die hard Nissan fan but this will be my and my entire family’s last Nissan. I will never recommend a Nissan to anybody and that’s strictly from my dealer experiences.

I wanted to purchase one, but I bought a Maxima instead. That was the better deal at the time.

I found a really nice used 2017 Nissan Titan XD with the 5.0 Cummins in it. Only has 38k miles on it. Thing looks brand new. I haven’t driven it because of all the horror stories I’ve heard about them. It’s like the perfect truck for me other than all of the horror stories I’ve read about. Question is should I think about buying it or run 🏃‍♂️ the other direction?

i keep hearing “is not a 1/2 ton or is not a 3/4 ton” well if you wanna use them old school terms well it falls under 3/4 ton category. mines got a 8800 gvwr 3/4 ton trucks fall under the class 2B trucks that range from 8,500-10,000 gvwr

Loved my XD 5.0. Perfect for towing a travel trailer. But modern diesels have problems. If diesel and its components worked well - i would have kept the truck for many many years.

100K on mine but why are so many cranks going it’s almost daily. Love mine she still feels new

For the price of the Titan your up with the big 3. I love my old 2010 Titan but like I said for the price I’d have to buy the big boy truck

70k miles... my crankshaft blew up. Not happy. But new engine is cool. New motor thanks to extended warranty 8 year 120K warranty.

I'll be selling my '19 Titan XD with 5L Cummins diesel after 21,000 miles & a check engine light with "Engine Power Reduced" warning light. Yes, I'm a daily driver, and this truck is too heavy & expensive to maintain without a horse trailer or large boat to pull.

I was considering one, and still kind of am, but my ecoboost tows almost as much if not the same. It also worries me that they’ve discontinued the Cummins. What will that mean for parts and repairs?

I'm leaving this comment here, so after a week or a month when someone likes it, I get reminded of this masterpiece song!

I had a 2016 titan xd platinum reserve with the cummins for 10 months and after having Tranny, motor, coolant leak, suspension, and interior component issues non stop I got rid of it. It was at nissan for warranty work 60% of my ownership time. THERE IS A REASON NISSAN DISCONTINUED THE CUMMINS MOTOR. Even they knew they didnt build it right come on people. Really a shame because its a great looking and equipped truck with so much potential.

I had the Titan diesel got brand new and had to get rid of the truck got a Titan 5.6 now
