2021 - 2023 TITAN XD V8, 4.08 Axle - Tundra V6 -Get out of here!

This Titan XD in the Pro4X, is an awesome truck that no one is buying. I would own one if not for the measly 26 gallon fuel tank. Compared to the 2022 Toyota Tundra Crewmax with the 6.5' foot bed, this truck offers so much more for the money - including a proven V8 and a great transmission.

[@J.Wick.]

Had my Titan for almost 6yrs now. An 18 P4X. Love it.

[@rmorales1029]

Love my 2016 Pro4X diesel. If I were looking to do it all over again I would buy a Nissan. No issues after 70,000 miles. As mentioned on this video, it really drives on the highway like a dream even though it is a heavier duty truck compared to the half tons. This truck delivers on durability, reliability and comfort.

[@francismaggio4987]

Great review! Just picked up a 21 xd platinum reserve after a 2012 tundra. It’s not a fair comparison because the sticker price had a 30k difference but I was happy with my tundra and so far happy with the Titan. Tows my 30ft travel trailer like a dream. And the small tank is annoying but my kids need to stop every couple hours anyway.

[@kedrevs4037]

Haha, kids will get you every trip.

[@nickiannotti5632]

How’s the power difference between the titan xd and the tundra. I’m debating making the switch to xd just for more payload and stability. Which one is faster?

[@fooslinger]

I just bought a used 2021 Titan XD Pro4X. Solid truck, and I like the seats and interior better than 2nd Gen Tundra. 3rd Gen Tundra is more of a SUV than a truck.

[@catztruck929]

A good used Titan XD gas is actually getting harder and harder to find for sale. I sold a 2016 P4X about 6 months ago. It was beautiful. I’m starting to second guess myself.

[@janamaro5894]

I do like Nissan Titan or Titan XD is the underated truck. I love the 5.6 V8 and 5.0 Cummins which is 2016-2019 are used diesel truck. I think the 5.6 V8 with 9 speed automatic is the better than Tundra. Honestly I do like the diesel pickup truck.

[@lukman8400]

XD is way more capable than Tundra in towing and payload. You can say it is in different class. I agree with what you said that the frame is serious. Its frame is borrowed from NV2500 which is a 3/4 commercial van. Regular Titan vs Tundra would be more fair comparison.

Love this truck. There are a couple of "almost new" 2021s at Carmaxes in my state for absolute steals right now(based on current inflation). Savannah has a fully loaded, all leather white Pro4x XD with 13K miles for $53K. I saw a Baja Sotm in Indiana for $51k.

Because I don't like a V-6 in a truck If I were to be looking for a 2022 the Titan would definitely be in my consideration.

Great video. I've always liked Nissan. My Dad had a 1972 Datsun pickup and it was a great truck. If I hadn't bought a 2021 Tundra TRD Pro I would definitely consider the 2022 Nissan Pro4X. The 2022 Tundra is already having waste gate problems that require a full cab off frame to repair.

Very nice truck and I think they are very underrated. The big problem with this truck is the fuel capacity as most have stated.

[@kedrevs4037]

Yep

[@mikecarmean1676]

By far my favorite truck on the market! I think Nissan has not marketed it very well. I've driven one before and I was shocked that yes it feels more like a truck but not harsh by any means. It actually feels more truck-like and yet refined and solid than any other truck I've driven. My biggest gripe is one of yours which is the fuel tank size just does not make any sense!! I wonder how many buyers they have lost due to just that and it would be such a simple fix. Come on Nissan if you're listening literally thousands of people have the same complaint! Nice overview though thank you

Truly value all the excellent content and deep dives into various trucks. I am considering either a 2nd Gen Tundra or 2018 Nissan Titan XD, but as you noted, the fuel capacity is a bit of a concern for longer treks in the Titan...I discovered that Titan Fuel Tanks offers a 50 gallon tank for the Nissan Titan XD. Given the option of adding an aftermarket fuel tank to the Titan, would you still take the Tundra over the Titan? Again, many thanks for all the excellent content!!!

I'm amazed that more people don't care about range...really odd.

[@Gazziza29]

@@kedrevs4037 Well I don’t think most people really think about that much since most of the manufacturers have moved on to larger 32+ gallon tanks. For some odd reason Nissan decided to stick a tiny 26 gallon tank on the XD. I can see the 26 gallon tank on the regular Titan but with the XD and it’s larger everything there is no reason they could not fit a 42 gallon tank in there. I mean honestly I was really considering it and then saw this video and it was such a let down to see the small tank. This goes under one of those “what were they thinking” kind of things.

I think I would've bought the XD if the gas tank was bigger. We really liked everything else about the truck but couldn't get over that. The F250 (7.3) I ended up getting offered more utility, for me, and range albeit with a larger price tag.

[@kedrevs4037]

Yep, can't pass a gas station when you are towing.

[@lawrencef3560]

there are some aftermarket larger gas tank available. For me, it's the smaller space in the cab, especially the back seat, feels like in a suv lol

[@elizabethmiller7918]

The XD has so many components from the next higher duty class of trucks on it , they will still drive around when we are all living in mad Max or Hunger Games. When I test drove it, it was too big for me as a daily driver, so I bought 2023 Armada (base "S", 4WD) with the same engine. The Armada has the same 26 gallon fuel tank but for me I feel that is plenty in the armada. For many years the Tundra , while everyone was singing it's priases also "only" had a 26 gallon fuel tank. And reviewers never said "Boo" about that, despite same or worse fuel economy. The Sequoia until recently also had 26 gallon fuel tank and is less efficient than my Armada. An XD has a lot more substance so it, so itll use more fuel. But that weight comes from all the heavy duty components that are way more than a 1500 class truck usually has.

[@kedrevs4037]

When I test drove an XD, I was getting 15 with the cruise on 65 on the highway

[@mikeb6386]

Very nice truck u have to love that warranty. I would deffinenty buy it over the new Tundra. I just wonder if Nissan will be around in the long term.

You mention the ability to be able to deal better on a Nissan Titan. What would you try for if you were to deal on one? Would you shoot for something like 10% off sticker?

[@kedrevs4037]

Probably depends on the area, that seems like a big discount in current market. Best I've seen advertised is about2-4% of MSRP

[@ksorsomeplace]

[@kedrevs4037]

I know you can get one for the Diesel, but is there one available for the gasoline engine?

[@SuperSnakePlissken]

That Nissan 5.6 L V8 does have some long-term issues that are expensive to repair. Exhaust manifold is going to fail and it is known to have some oil leaks and timing chain issues, in the newest version hopefully those have been resolved. With that said, if you can get past that overall it is a great motor. Honestly, if my 2021 Tundra was wrecked and I couldn't get it fixed I would skip the new Tundra and get a Titan XD.

[@kedrevs4037]

Think the exact same. No way I wanted it over my 2nd, gen, But if I had to get a new one XD

[@elizabethmiller7918]

Those "issues" were fixed in 2009 14 years ago... Except for the manifolds they been only improved and are now as durable as all other modern V8s. But no modern V8 has the nice thick manifolds of yore, blame EPA, this of for quickly heating up to help emissions. Cant get around that in a modern V8. But unlike the rest Nissan offers a 5yr 100,000 mile warranty for these trucks Bumper-toBumper,... no one else does,. I researched this truck a LOT since i was going to buy it myself but then I realized I dont need anything that large and got a 2023 Armada with the same engine. And this is one of the most durable Gas V8s made by anyone on the planet.
