2023 Nissan Titan VS 2023 Nissan Frontier: Which Nissan Truck Is Best?

[@InfiniteTranscendence]

I've had a 2006 Titan. Eventually sold it and decided to downsize to a 2022 Frontier as I figured I'd be okay with it. I could never get comfortable with it. It had an actuator issue with the lock, but since it was a brand new refresh I knew some quirks had to be worked out. The bottom line is, once you get used to a full sized truck, it's hard to downsize. They're just so much more comfortable and roomy. Inside and outside are great as I get a bigger bed to store things under my diamondback Tonneau cover. I ended up trading it in last November for a 2023 Titan that I got for not much more than the Frontier as the dealers in Atlanta have been cutting them down almost $10k. I The Titan just offers so much that it's hard to go for anything else. That said the Frontier is a great midsize truck and I would happily recommend it to anybody looking for midsize.

[@Rigo9]

I bet these 2 outlast anything the big 3 are currently offering.

[@ridynh7923]

Right you are!!

[@hertzair1186]

Incredible horror stories from the big 3 in recent years! It's as though their employees are careless and unskilled.

[@aarone9454]

Both trucks are very nice. As a new owner of a 2020 Nissan Titan pro-4x I am very happy with my purchase. I like that I don’t have to deal with auto start stop or cylinder deactivation. I hope this truck lasts me a very long time.

[@manahaneicetea]

Did Nissan stop the cylinder deactivation on a certain year or certain trims don’t have them? I cant really find any specific info online

[@theoptimistictraveler3558]

How has it held up?

[@ZacColeman]

As a 2021 Titan Pro4x owner I may be bias, but I prefer the the full size pickup for the same reasons you mentioned. Power with the V8 is great, comfort with the seats and space in the interior, and the reliability. The Frontier is a great midsized truck though. I would take it over anything else out there if I was in the market. I do wish these trucks had better aftermarket support. Despite that I love my Titan and hope Nissan keeps it around.

[@chrisx5127]

I'll take it over a Tacoma, but not a manual transmission Tacoma. I have a Titan Pro-4x instead. Would get a Frontier in a heartbeat if it had manual.

[@smittysmitty481]

The Frontier is so nice!

[@darbysuntrup1499]

Great review. Thank you for your open and unbiased observations. I like the frontier. No money for the Titan. I like both vehicles. I own a nissan. Quite happy with it. No issues. 8 years and 32000 miles.

[@XloMotion]

Got a 23 Frontier Pro 4X because I don't have the need for a full size truck. Got plenty of room inside and the most comfortable seat I have ever sat on! Plenty of power and with the tech package the LED headlights are awesome.

[@omarmartinez912]

Thanks Ben! These trucks are incredible and two of my personal favorites. I would be content with either, it all depends on towing needs.

[@stw2186]

I am looking to purchase my first truck and the 23 Nissan Frontier Pro-4X is on my radar. I am looking to test drive one hopefully soon!

[@JoseMendoza-gq1bx]

Titan Pro-4x owner myself. I wanted the full-size truck for the beefier power, extra towing capability and larger cabin space. The mid-size is great for those seeking something smaller and 'fun'. Both great trucks, it boils down to how practical do you want your truck? Love Nissan vehicles, I've owned the 350z, 370z, Titan and soon the Armada. Great warranty and quality.

[@chrisx5127]

I still going to go off-road in my Pro-4x, which the front was higher though.

[@ruffriding2k2]

The way I like my trucks equipped if I went full size again I was looking at around $70k..so I found 2023 Frontier Pro4x loaded for $40k with only 3k miles on it. Love it!

[@EpicWin2005]

My 24 Titan Pro4x was 66k fully loaded. But I got 12,5k discount. I could've gotten an additional 1.5k off if I owned a Nissan due to a loyalty discount.

[@thecentralman]

Both still having a hydraulic steering system is a plus for me. I drove the Frontier Pro 4X and I liked it. Perfect size and pretty torquey. I haven't driven the Titan yet but I know it is as fast as an SXT Charger pretty quick for a full size truck

[@shanec8224]

Its probably as fast as the RT charger

[@thecentralman]

@@shanec8224 haha no. The 3.6 Pentastar Charger gets around 6.1-6.4 seconds, identical with the Titan V8. The 5.7 Hemi is in the mid to low 5 second range for 0-60. So a V8 Charger would be quicker than a Titan.

[@2BrokeJokes]

Great video! I miss my 2020 Titan Pro4x. Looking to buy a new Titan soon.

[@dolguldur4706]

Why you sell your titan?

[@2BrokeJokes]

​@dolguldur4706 I travel alot for work so I was looking for better mpg. I got a Ford 150 XLT with the 2.7. Get mpg but its not Titan. The build quality in the Titan is far better then the Ford. I'm looking at a 2023 Titan pro4x next week.

[@WhiteTrashTennessee]

2024 is last year of Titan. Its going away forever

[@kennak476]

AS the owner of a 2022 Frontier SV I can attest to the durability of these trucks, having owned a 2009 SE for 13 yrs, other than regular maintenance only had 1 issue with it and NO recalls. Nissan engineers put a more fuel efficient V6 and trans starting in 2020. Performance is great and shifts perfectly and better torque than the old 4.0 V6. My only complaints: they took out the bed floor cleats, no tinted glass on the windshield and went to a foot parking brake, hand brake was better. However they did add a rear sway bar which helps handling. Overall glad I got one.

[@stevenpeterson7234]

I have a 23 Nissan Titan Pro-4x and i have a 3 inch lift on 34's. Nissan needed to put 6100/5160 with load E tired on the Titan!!

[@JMM440xi]

Just bought a Titan. Feel very secure and equipped in the truck. Averaging over 20 mpg. For the extra money I feel it’s a better value than the Frontier. It’s got a the feel of a good solid old style durable truck.

[@Thewarrenfamily3]

Love my '22 Frontier Pro4X. But a Titan Pro4X will be next I hope. I had that 5.6 V8 in a Pathfinder and I love that engine.

[@walterlegrand321]

I have a 2023 Frontier and I’m loving it. Nothing against the Titan but my needs aren’t that big. Either way Nissan wins because both trucks look amazing and my Frontier runs great. Nissan should push these trucks because they looking amazing inside and out. The cameras and the tech are awesome. You can’t go wrong with either truck but the Frontier is my winner. Thanks for this because I never see a Nissan truck commercial on tv.

[@slip0n0fall]

As a bigger guy i was surprised at how comfortable and roomy feeling the P4X was. Moreso than an SV, i think due to seat materials. I only *need* a Frontier but if money (fuel economy too) were no issue I'd take the Titan hands down.

[@victorsanabriaii9313]

Titan, Baby! Hands down! Great Full Sized, Truck!

[@japerezo75]

Just test drove a Titan and decided to look for other options because of hard steering and bad rear camera resolution. Steering is important because the wife might occasionally have to drive it. Camera resolution is just something good is expected we’re in 2023.

[@NFDBenTubeYou]

LOVE my 2019 Frontier PRO-4X. I’m due for an upgrade and like the better fuel economy on the new frontier. But do I offset the 4 mpg to the more capable full size Titan? Not sure!

[@mtelfer2654]

Great video, Ben. It will be interesting to see what happens with the Titan in the future, whether it stays in production or not. Hard to beat its warranty but not its fuel economy. The Frontier seems solid but the newer redesign already could use a few tweaks such as a tighter turning radius, telescoping steering wheel, power rear window, and rear seat AC vents, all of which many of its competitors have. I can’t imagine you ever get tired of those mountain views out west. Sure beats our overpopulated urban skyline views in central Ohio. LOL

[@johnculver3294]

I had my Titan at the local dealership for service a few weeks ago. While waiting I wondered the lot looking an vehicles and a salesman told me that the Titan is going to be killed off and later return as an electric truck. I hope to trade my 2019 Pro 4x for a Pro 4x XD next year.

[@bigdoggy6650]

Frontier for me please.

[@workingcountry1776]

A rear facing car seat will not fit in any mid sized pickup unless you move front seat up 6 or more inches. Also 3 across child seats fit in titan but not midsized. Real world mpg is about same on both especially in hill country.

[@deanmay338]

I am very impressed with both trucks. I will cross shop both. Love the Pro4X trim, but don’t need that much off road capability. I would go with SV trim (midnight edition). Love the Nissan truck warranty. Appreciate their naturally aspirated engines. Biggest issue for me is the marginal payload capacities in both. The SV trim would be better. Honda Ridgeline has more payload than either of these two trucks. I would lean toward the Frontier, but will shop for Titan discounts to see how close the Titan would be to some mid-size truck prices.

[@rockyvi5709]

Nissan’s 5.6 doesn’t have the Hemi tick, GM LT’s cam failure nor Ford’s Eco boost cam actuator death rattle. I switch from a Ram to a Titan because of the awful E-Torque system in the Ram. So far I have been impressed by the 5.6s performance and the 9 speed transmission. These trucks are way underrated.

[@zxtenn]

Just a bit more power than the HEMI without all the nonsense on it, i see on FB LOTS of owners have well over 150,000 miles on them and no issues.

Unfortunately Nissan is discontinuing the Titan in 2024. The Titan is an awesome truck, reliable, good looking and very durable. Nissan does a horrible job of advertising this great truck and the Titan was never a big sales hit in the half ton truck market. I own a 2021 Titan Pro 4X and I love this truck. Let’s hope Nissan brings back the Titan in the future, maybe as an EV.

[@sharkskin3448]

I 💯 agree with your summary. There's no resolving full vs midsize preference, but the Frontier is better in its category than the Titan is in its. I drive pickup trucks in my business. In many ways, a mid sized crew cab with a 6' bed is very comparable to a full sized crew cab with a short bed (LxW= usable bed space) but a little more gear storage in the back seat area of full size. Factor in fuel economy, price, drive ability/parking/bed accessibility; and mid sized trucks are more practical. Big trucks can be more fun until you get tired of them. I have to admit, though, full sized trucks get much more respect from cars on the highway. Especially black ones!🤪
