[@nechoxd3208]

I own a Titan XD just like the one you reviewed. Kind cab, Diesel pro4x. Best value in the market hands down.

[@julianrestrepo12]

The Nissan Specs you show their web page are for the regular gas 1/2 ton titan.

[@joediver7669]

I'm glad you pointed that out. I was like WTF? That's an XD!

[@james2042]

Those specs you showed were for the regular titan. The XD diesel for 2018, even the pro4x package, have a 11,960lb tow rating (and the gas pro4x having 10,950) with numbers for both only going up the lower trim you get. So this thing is very capable and unlike half tons, is actually able to tow its rated number in real world scenarios comfortably as you said, but its still a lot higher than you listed in the video. Hopefully that mistake didn't cost nissan any sales

[@VanillaGorilla502]

I have the Platinum Reserve model and love it. It does all things well except park in tight spaces. Lol

[@darrenwarren1730]

I bought a 2108 CC XD with the Cummings about 10 days ago. I would agree the screen needs to be larger. I was shopping for a 3/4 ton and knew of the Titan. I was going for overkill for towing capacity in the big three thinking if we ever got a larger RV I wouldn’t need to upgrade trucks. Well no one wanted to deal at any of the big three dealerships. Nissan folks did and I was looking at a nicer trim package with the Titan for less money. My bumper pull weights 9k and I know I’m at the top range for this truck even though the owners manual says 12,100. Lots of things to like about this truck.

Happy 4th

[@RobertKohut]

Nice!! I like that it's just a heavy duty 1/2 ton. Can't hurt for reliability and toughness!

[@chadsteele1]

What many people miss, is this truck comes standard with a lot of things, you have to order or step up into the other three manufacturers, the goose neck being one of them. The ride quality I'll disagree with you, I think it rides far far better than any 3/4ton truck I've ever been in. The screen size doesn't bother me, but the no apple car play was a major phopa! I've had mine almost a year now, the front is growing on me. It's nice tho, not having the same generic truck as everyone else and for me that means something. Plus, i'd put it up against any Gm Ford or Dodge in its class any day. Super glad you got to review one. The towing number of that xd diesel is close to 12,300lbs I believe.

[@ruger-hi2tg]

its a heavy duty from 12 years ago....its for people who want more than half ton but less than heavy duty.....I here people say fords half ton will pull just as much......bullshit!!!.....try pulling 10000 with a half ton ford then pull with this you will see the difference!!!.....my only problem with this truck is price.....but if your a diehard chevy ford or ram fan you wont like this truck.....but for people like me I think this is a good truck and apparently people seem to agree because Nissan truck sales have shot up 140% since this truck came out in 2016....so im sure the engineers at Nissan who came up with the idea to make this truck got a pretty good bonus at Nissan.........

[@Icutmetal]

ruger 1911 Agreed. People that get it won’t need an explanation; those that need an explanation will never understand.

[@victorcreed8856]

Agreed. Yeah, a half ton can probably move 10,000lbs, but it's not all about if it can pull it, but more importantly HOW it pulls it.

[@Sig721Tau]

@@victorcreed8856 ...and how it stops it. Your trailer should not out weigh your tow vehicle. Nor should the trailer have a 'push/pull' effect on your truck.

[@dthomas2047]

Good review. I think your analogy of an over built 1/2 ton is spot on. Those are impressive specs though for a 1/2 ton considering my 2006 F250 diesel had 325 HP and 540 ft. Lb. natively before tuning. Those 1/2 ton specs put that Nissan on par with some of the older 3/4 and 1 ton trucks still on the road today.

[@17powerstroke92]

Great job on the review as always. Can you please do a towing review?

[@MRHEAT20]

Another great review thanks

[@terratrek805]

Great review. Loving my xd cummins pro 4x

[@joenissan]

There are two 120v outlets. Both are either 150w (while driving) and 400w (while idling).

[@wushock92]

Going through the comments, what seems to be lost on folks is that Nissan wanted to create a niche they felt untapped in the truck market. The XD was never meant to compete head to head with 3/4-tons. Their mission was to provide an option for folks who needed more capacity than was available in the 1/2-ton market (at that time) yet didn't require the house-moving grunt of a 3/4-ton on a daily basis. Much like the Dodge Dakota back in the day.

[@jabroni6199]

I don't think it's lost on them. If this truck is the same price as the "house movers" then you might as well get one of those.

[@marcusyoung2870]

jabroni6199 Some people don't want to be chattered to death in a empty HD

[@Jackmerius_Tacktheretrix]

@@marcusyoung2870 exactly! The XD rides way, WAY better than a 3/4 ton, especially on a rough lease road.

[@williamst.george6381]

Wow this one looks a lot nicer than my 05 I'm glad to see Nissan kept the great tow mirrors I love them on mine

[@aaronrodriguez9760]

Very good review!!

[@ricwestdoesitwork]

Enjoyed the review.

[@Icutmetal]

Great review; I agree with your opinions around 11:40. I think the XD makes a lot of sense; it’s got all the right stuff, and surprised it doesn’t have just a BIT more capacity.

[@richard66754]

For Father’s Day, my wife bought me a 2017 XD turbo diesel. It’s one of the family models with four doors, leather, and some fancy trim. Hands down, it has been the nicest truck I’ve ever owned. My truck is the crew cab model, so it probably weighs in close to 7800 lbs. I couldn’t imagine beating it around in an off-road extravaganza. I mainly use it to pull a 6500 lb. travel trailer and some commuting. It’s not a daily driver. It pulls the travel trailer as if it weren’t even there behind the truck. I’m glad I opted for the diesel over the gas engine. Snappy horsepower is nice, but torque does the work. It has been super reliable, and fuel mileage for around town is right at 15.5, and upwards of 22 on the highway on the flats. I would definitely classify it as a really beefy half ton truck. I also own a 2006 Titan which I passed down to my 17 year old son. It has also been flawless for the last thirteen years.

[@FirstNameLastName-hz4kv]

Once you understand this wasn't built as a 3/4 ton competitor and more of a "this does everything a half ton, but better" kind of truck you realize this is actually a good truck. I think it looks good too, but that's personal preference

[@estarszak]

great video. I just bought one (2018 - gas - XD). You are pretty much spot-on with your critique. peace

[@TheSonsofFreedom]

Specs are off or misread. I’m towing up to 12,500 on my 17 XD, with ease.

[@robgrune3284]

Me too, I wonder if the specs are quoted accurately. I tested an XD when towing 8.5k#, but was rated for 12k# towing. I found it to be an excellent tow vehicle: very stable, lots of power. Other points not mentioned: 1/ no recalls! 2/ longest warranty. 3/ largest brakes for the rated capacity [safety]. 4/ best seats [zero gravity]. What I found missing is the exhaust brake: no problems for 6% grades, as the brakes are great, but could be useful for steeper grades. Also, a larger fuel tank would be beneficial. The XD is the ONLY 3/4 truck with the Cummins/Aisin combo: once people get educated about this, sales should increase.

[@pastorcorwen7896]

I've been a titan owner since 2010 and I'm on my 4th one now, the 3rd one being an XD SV Gas model, I think the XD model is a good truck and I agree with you on the way it drives and feels like a 3/4 ton. I found that the gas engine while towing gave horrible gas millage while towing our 7800 pound travel trailer, When I bought my new 2017 Titan (non xd) , I got the yellow pro4x Crew cab and was surprised at the increase in gas millage and was a smoother ride then the xd, I might go back to a XD model if they ever bite the bullet and give it the ratings for a 3/4 ton to compete with the big 3. Awesome review but I may be bias because I am a fan of Nissan Titans

[@bsoutdooradventures9541]

Cory Ruback Sir thanks for feedback...can not decide on RAM , vs Ford vs titan with tow package! Taking notes!

[@n3qdz]

Nice review thank you Nissan for making it available for review. I issue with it (having not sat in one) are the plastics. They just seem to be behind in the finishes on the plastics. I hope for the Nissan buyer they love it!

[@delta70]

The dash cap itself is nice but I have to agree on some of the plastic. Around the radio they used a shiny plastic that just seems cheap to me. Wish they would have used a flat color for it.

[@hanks9428]

Nice video

[@georgewkush542]

I want this truck!!

[@James-by1fr]

Good video thx!

[@Lumpia_In_Texas]

Bro you got the towing specs wrong. That is for the "normal" Titan not the XD.

[@danc.2167]

Mc13oner I would agree too. Mine is upwards in the 11k range, don’t know the exact numbers.

[@tx2sturgis]

Yep, just like he said in the video, you HAVE to get the right numbers for YOUR truck.

[@danc.2167]

Correct, but he’s reviewing the XD and not the regular Titan and he should report the correct towing numbers.

[@darrenwarren1730]

You have to dig deeper. The GCVWR for the XD is 19k. If the truck weights 7k and you put a 11k trailer behind it that 18k. Now add fuel, cargo in trailer, cargo in truck, and people and you are over the. GCVWR. I have a 2018 XD.

[@AB-coyote]

Good review. The Towing Capacity for that application has got to be at least 10,500 or close to it. The Power inverter is rated at 400 watts while in park, and 150 watts in drive.

[@tx2sturgis]

I would like to have seen a brief look at the rear interior cargo space, on the KingCab, with the seat delete option. Not every truck buyer totes around a wife and 2.5 kids.

[@charleskettering2626]

Being in the Marine/RV business for over thirty years truck manufactures mislead people by posting ratings for a basic standard cab and two wheel drive vehicles. Of course a salesman's favorite line I believe is "Sure it will tow it."

[@bestmillimeter1858]

Love the extended cab body style with the full size bed. You can carry 6 people and have a large bed without driving an aircraft carrier.

[@bigtrucklittlerv7969]

Yea, a large bed to put nothing in it or no hitch weight because you'l overload the payload

[@Icutmetal]

I’d consider a full size bed to be an 8’, or at least it used to be that way before the 5.5’ beds became the norm. An XD with an extended cab and an 8’ bed would be great!

[@AkioWasRight]

Seriously, it's just ~22' vs ~21' of overall length. You can't manage the extra 1' of body length, and you'll punish your rear passengers just because of it?

[@Bru946]

It's a nice truck

[@TexasScout]

I can’t believe you think a 6 1/2 foot bed is “full size”.

[@FLCLIST]

(7:44) personally id like the fact that in pops out, cause that means i can fit slightly bigger things better then pop the cup holder back in

[@ohioguy4326]

Nissan has newer Infotainment systems in the Maxima, Murano, and Altima that have a bigger screen. Not sure why they have not added it to the Titan yet. And also no sunroof yet available?

[@paysmoretowin]

I'm super interested in this truck with the crew cab to then pull a Jayco White Hawk 31BH TT with the Hensley anti-sway, weight distribution hitch & firestone airbags. For the part-time camper puller what would you think of this set up? Too long/ too heavy for this HT travel trailer? In my mind it seems like a nice / cost effective setup to get what I want on a budget. I'd love to see a review of this travel trailer if you're ever able! I love your content and watch it all. Happy Independence day!

[@josea5949]

Another great review. Not sure what you do for a living however you would do well in sales and/or marketing

[@robpond9628]

Seems it fills a good niche market a solid heavy half ton would fit in well in the agricultural market

All for 15k less than the competition! Makes since to me

[@andrewvader1955]

Theirs a guy i watch who points out alot of the flawe's modern vehicles will have with huge touch screens. One, they are distracting while driving and focuses the user to look at a screen vs the road. Having buttons in a truck of today is a good thing because you will gain muscle memory where your buttons are. No brand is going to software update these things so once it stops working or has a error with something your SOL. Dealer will need to be contacted for future fixing $$$. I have my Nissan Sentra and what they do right is the steering wheel got alot of the radio, cruise control,volume control and quick screen selection(hands-free calling) on there. It's handy and keeps my eyes on the Road. Copying what Tesla does with big screens isn't the safe route they doing that to simplify their production and reduce costs overall, plus they do constant software updates to keep those screens and programs running smoothly. Heres a link to where i been educated about this, does say modern cars but all vehicles are following this template. kzbin.info/www/bejne/g2SpdahugNuLhck

[@cjeam9199]

Andrew Vader very true. I’m a big Tesla fan (and I’m sure _they_ will keep updating) but they need more buttons

[@JD-rq2bl]

since you test drove the XD pro-4 for 2 weeks what did you truly think of it. I'm slowly looking at the 18s tempted to do a certified too. but I like the XD how its built...

[@CR500R]

Thank you so much for a review of the Nissan Cummins. There is such little interest out there about it, which is sad to see. It'd be a great motor for conversions.

[@kclefthanded427]

I'd stick with the 5.6 V-8 gas engine without the XD level. With the King cab and the Pro-4X. Have you tested the 5.6 V-8?

[@DH-hp7nv]

I like this truck overall, especially in the Pro4x package. There are a few things, like any vehicle, that i found i was not crazy about, but most could be overlooked. The thing for me is the power specs and capacities. I can’t see spending the money on this truck when for a little more i can get one of the big three, with alot more power. I would also wait a couple more years before buying one of these since they are still new and trying to work out the “bugs.” Plus our local ford dealerships provide much better experiences than the local nissan dealership.

[@johnc7753]

How did you come up with 9k towing? Did you do the Gas config for a normal Titan?

[@captsam54]

The Tundra has the headlight controller and the slow tailgate opening.... If it had the Cummings... Game over...

[@fstarr2771]

A few other places where Nissan did good on this is in the regular maintenance fuel filter are easy to change so is oil. Fluids all up top why they chose old style wet batteries is disappointing. Checking the trans fluid requires a small Philips screwdriver for the latch on the dip stick, but hey ya got a dip stick. They really do shine and show true performance until about 30k miles.

[@82mattlopez]

How do you feel about the fuel mileage? I'm guessing that's why the big 3 didn't use it in their half tons

[@jesse8031]

What mpg did you observe in the XD in diesel? Gas?

[@powderriver2424]

I’ve been waiting for this review for a long while on this channel. I have followed the development of the RAM VM Motori 3.0 and the Cummins 5.0, you can do the research, in short I think Nissan was trying for a niche market I’m inclined to believe they were trying to build a truck that was “in between” and capitalize on the Cummins name plate. Unfortunately the 5.0 Cummins just couldn’t get the MPG numbers compared to the RAM’s 3.0 and although the output 5.0 is respectable the Nissan can definitely fill a void personally I’m not pleased with big 3’s engine options in the 1500 series trucks except for RAM who still offers the vulnerable 5.7 Hemi without buying a premium, GM, truck with a big gasser. All in all it’s ultimately up to the user and Nissan builds good vehicles.

[@DarkRaptor99]

The thing I would worry about on this truck is depreciation trucks from the big 3 hold their value pretty good because they are desirable used the Nissan won't have nearly as big of a market.

[@jnmaher1967]

How does the overall cost compare against the competitors?

[@ryancj1542]

What's your opinion on the platinum reserve version?

[@stacysid2]

why did you skip the button between the headlight adjustment and the downhill assist? was that possibly a rear locker? I chose to watch this video because of the PRO4X package off road capabilities not it's towing capacity. When I want to tow my 36' goose neck trailer I'll use my srw 3500 Ram with the Aisin trans. I'm looking for the best full size overlanding truck (POWER WAGON) and I'm trying to remain open minded during my research.

[@PRDMRE]

I own this exact truck, and pull a 30 foot 5th wheel. It rocks for the 5th wheel hauling.excellent tow platform, power is easily enough. Great value for the money for those of us that do not care about 900 pounds of torque

[@matthewwalkoviak4924]

I do really agree with you on the spec's just done seem to fit the truck, I know that Nissan makes a city van in a 3500 model that has some really respectable payload and towing capacity. And this is one expensive unit that just doesn't have the classification, that it needs to fit what it really could be. Nice truck all and all just to pricey to not get the capability of a 3/4 Ton truck.

[@almedin7212]

Not to bad of a truck. But can you review a mega cab please😁

[@barbaraschenck5691]

Good, solid review BTBRV... thanks! I've been shopping pick-ups for some time now, and I really like the Nissan but when compared to the Big 3, you can tell Nissan skimped on a lot of things. Many you mentioned here (i.e., the infotainment system, motorized mirrors, etc.). For example, Nissan engineers threw in an awesome diesel power plant but did not equip it with a exhaust brake. Why? While they say it's not needed, if you want to swim with the big boys you have to include like functions. I've driven these the Titan's several times and their really nice, solid trucks, but when compared with the other (especially Ram), the interiors really seem dated. Bottom line, it doesn't appear Nissan was truly committed to creating a competitive product... and I think the recent sales numbers show that. What do you think?

[@BigTruckBigRV]

Wow, absolutely a great writeup and observations.

Never go wrong with a ford titan xd get worse fuel mileage than truck with bigger engines. Plus try to find long term reviews on here very few. Because they mostly trade them in for one of the big 3 since the CD lost as much as a big truck.

[@boson285]

I had a 2008 titan with the 5.6 engine rated for 9500 lbs. towing. Fuel mileage was about the same. Its disappointing the diesel isn't improving economy that much. Mr Truck did a you tube review of the XD towing a gooseneck. He had a lot of good things to say about it.

[@johnc7753]

while towing, yes. When empty, it will get higher than the big 3. But not by much.

[@kensnyder2340]

Good unbiased review. We all have a favorite " brand " truck and I like most of them. I'm always looking for the truck that gives me the best service once the warranty runs out! I dislike having to pay for an additional warranty. These days though, it's getting much harder not to. This will be one of my main objectives when buying my next truck.

Hi, there! My question would be, "Who is this truck aimed at? Who is its demografic?", because it seems to fall in a niche between the 1/2 and the 3/4 ton (a 5/8 ton). Is there an application where it is the best option?

[@Jackmerius_Tacktheretrix]

Yes, when you tow heavier trailers on the regular, the XD handles the weight and is alot more stable than a half ton, but rides alot better than a 3/4 ton. So if you tow let's say 8,000-10,000lbs you get better stability with this truck without the rough ride and higher price of a 3/4 ton.

[@josephfelder33]

This works well for me as an in-betweener. I have a family, and a 5,000lb bumper pull, and I ride motorcycles. When putting all that together, it is too much for most 1/2 ton pickups. However, I don't really need the massive towing/payload of modern 3/4 tons. With the 5/8 ton/1500HD capacity here, I can load up my kids, some dirtbikes in the bed, and hitch a light trailer to the back and haul it all into the mountains comfortably. I also like off-roading, so getting upgraded suspension along with a proven transmission, and 4 wheel drive with a locking differential is cool. I became a believer in diesel after Hurricane Katrina. Those with gassers were stranded, but diesel didn't run out, and is less volatile of course, so those with 4x4 diesels retained their mobility during catastrophe.

[@markbremmer8642]

Nisan needs to step up and make a 3/4 ton or 1 ton for the U.S. market if they want to stay competitive. Also make it affordable

[@benitojr468]

Mark Bremmer, nissan vans have the multi-lug wheels, the titan is 6 lug, Thers no reason the titan cant be 8 or 9 lug

[@markbremmer8642]

I agree with your statement. They need to step up and offer that on there truck's.

[@PRDMRE]

It does fine for 3/4 ton work as is, all they need to do is up the specs. Everything is already in place. However not being a 3/4 ton offers tax advantages, which Nissan said early on was a reason for the ratings

[@Miasdaddy7]

Yes the pro4x doesn’t tow as much as let’s say the SL package because of the suspension setup

[@mustang1191]

I’ve been contemplating this for my next truck. It would be an upgrade from my purely half ton needs. Can you comment on the ventilated seats? I’ll be moving to Corpus/Gregory for a project so ur perspective would perfect. Thx for sharing.

[@delta70]

I have the PR with ventilated seats. I love the truck but to be honest the ventilated seats are not that great. I will probably ask the dealer to look at them. The AC side works great. The heated part takes for ever to vent across the seats. Takes for ever to warm up.

[@mustang1191]

David Wilson Thanks for the info. I test drove a PR and like you say, the ventilated seats didn’t feel very strong but I walked away thinking maybe my drive wasn’t long enough. Thanks.

[@MRHEAT20]

I have a 2017 PRO 4x XD the seats don’t get cold real fast but when they do in like a half hour I find they get too cold

[@mustang1191]

ED ABRAMS Thanks, I appreciate being able to learn from ur experience. That sounds better than the ventilated seats not working at all. I liked the truck very much so my next test drive will be a little longer.

[@rfamilyadventure5057]

does adding a super spring or any type of component increase towing on a light towing truck. I have a 2017 150 super cab with a 2.7 eco. I'm now looking at towing a boat or Rv. I know with a boat I will be under my towing but for an Rv I'm almost maxed out with the the Rv I'm looking at. I have kids so I'm need a bunk house style. that puts it at 7k lbs to 9k lbs. any tips.

[@johnmills837]

No, adding any component will not increase tow capacity or payload capacity. Not one mfg. will stand by this. Read and understand all Fithwheelstreet has to say fifthwheelst.com/rvtc_calculator.html

[@Icutmetal]

No.

[@brunner2136]

My dad is thinking about this truck but in a crewcab

[@Bru946]

Brunner213 I'd say get it. I have a regular v8 and my uncle has the XD he's had it for a while no problems for either of us. 34k miles.

[@alexanderlovato4902]

He won’t regret it! Love mine!!

[@nomaam9797]

I have this truck .... its way tuffer than any half ton ....especially the f150

[@DKennett2013]

The Tundra shares same diesel?

[@IJBCI]

Awesome review! How’s the reliability on these Nissan trucks compared to something like the Tundra. Think it’s safe to say Toyota is one the most reliable companies out there. Any long term Titan owners on here?

[@williamst.george6381]

IJBCI I've had mine for 10 years and it hasn't really ever let me down. Although repair costs are higher due to it being a more uncommon truck

[@boson285]

I had my 08 for 4 years. The only significant issue was the rear diff picked up noise. The whole axle was replaced under warranty. The old one was shipped to Nissan's research center to figure out what happened. The other issue was that the rear ceiling console was comming down. Repair cost was 600 bucks for a chunk of plastic. Fortunately my good relationship with the dealer afforded me to sweet talk nissan national customer service to pick up the tab. Otherwise I had a really good ownership experience.

[@robvangeel5603]

mine a 2004 titan with no problems. 421k miles on the odometer. but this titan died last month from overheating. so sad ..

[@440justin9]

Semi-float rear axle = 1/2 ton payload. If Nissan had gone with a full float and some higher payload numbers it would really hit the mark for people who don't need 950 lb ft of power.

[@mertz313]

This is honestly a fact for me. If the Titan XD Gas in a CC had closer to 3k payload but same towing capacity my needs would be met. Unfortunately, I have to get one of the 3/4 tons for that even thought I REALLY love the way the Titan looks lol

[@rayg3074]

thumbs up

[@markc3341]

you didnt mention the the rear locker.why is that?

[@alanpattee4383]

Great review always... 2019 Ford Super Duty please

[@Brianwilkes78]

I just had to lemon law my 2016 Nissan Titan XD and now own a 2018 Ram 2500

[@James-by1fr]

What was msrp

[@cameron6049]

I love the nissan i just wish it had a more powerful diesel engine whether it be an isuzu dmax or a cummins i6 and i wish it had a higher payload rating like a true 3/4 not the heavy half ton it is

[@dadgarage7966]

It's the total GCWR (truck + people + cargo + trailer) that matters most.

[@gm1990ss]

Tow ratings for this king cab Cummins equipped XD (4x4) are around 12,150 lbs towing and 2,120 payload.

[@bigtrucklittlerv7969]

This one is heavier and has payload 1,653lb. viewed in video if you payed attention.

[@johnmills837]

He has a 1,600lb. payload model

[@raylaux8295]

Did you miss that in the video? @3:24

[@gm1990ss]

Check nissans website for ratings as I just did. I’d show you but you can’t put screenshots on a comment.

[@gm1990ss]

And when he was looking at the ratings at 3:34 it was for a half ton. The XD will have a two tone silver truck instead of the solid tone silver one.

[@manowar5516]

I like the mechanical engineering behind the Titan, but the rest of this vehicles behind the big 3, which is why I'd only buy one at a 10-15k discount with the cummins.

[@loganp7043]

Thinking about buying another truck which would be the better option a newer truck with higher miles or a older truck with lower miles

[@1g4u]

This truck still around? Discontinued?

[@BamaDave71]

The 2019 is the last year for the XD diesel

[@markrussell6858]

I am completely biased to this truck since have owned my 2017 Nissan Titan XD S Gas (Crew Cab 7' bed) for a year now and have towed about 7000 of the 25000 miles that are on it. For the price I paid which was 26500+TTL brand new off the transport. I tow two trailers Mainly one pretty light Bumper pull cargo trailer that I max out around 6200lbs and my 24 travel trailer that is 5600lbs fully loaded. And what I can tell you is you cannot get a big three truck for that price with less than 40K miles and that will be at 1/2 ton tuck. Secondly I have towed my travel trailer, which is really a poor aerodynamic design, with the Ford F-150 V6 Twin turbo and while I have the torque and power the suspension swayed and shook like I was pulling it with a jeep. Also 2018 is really just the second really year of production and it is every bit as capable as a 2004-2006 F-250. Give Nissan a few years and they will get up to snuff to the Super Duty Standard

[@kenwhite3117]

[@rocketj7449]

1600 lbs payload? Not a 5/8 ton truck. Definitely a half ton. If you are looking for a truck to legally handle a larger trailer or toy hauler, this would not allow you to be legal while towing. I would rather opt for a 3/4 ton Chevy, Dodge or Ford, or perhaps their max tow version half ton. I'm sorry but this Titan XD with the Cummins engine is a joke. And if Nissan thinks this truck will play ball with the big boys, it's not going to hang.

[@poobank]

That maximum towing capacity of 9000+ pounds has got to be a mistake. Seems like it would be more than that

[@timesup6386]

Nope Nissan is realistic with tow ratings unlike Ford fifthwheelst.com/rvtc_calculator.html

[@Lumpia_In_Texas]

It's for the non XD model. He made a mistake. It should be close to 12k pounds.

[@timesup6386]

BS, plug in the weights fifthwheelst.com/rvtc_calculator.html

[@Lumpia_In_Texas]

Times Up Please I own the crew cab version of this truck.

[@timesup6386]

Plug in the weights. Your fantasy is over

[@KTMcaptain]

I think you missed the point. 3/4 ton trucks use to have this power 14 years ago and people were excited back then. But! This truck is still 6-700 lbs lighter than a diesel competitor, and much cheaper. But, the power is much lower and the price isn't much better.

[@Wireman134]

curb weight is not 6-700lbs. lighter. Maybe 400lbs.

[@KTMcaptain]

Wireman134 car and driver has the f250 weighting 8300lbs on their scales, and the 2012 f250 at 7900lbs. I've also seen power wagons on TFL weighting around 7300ish pounds if my memory serves me correctly. The cummins weights 1150 lbs without 3 gallons of oil and the excessive emissions equipment and its more robust transmission. The 6.4 hemi is 500 lbs. Links provided. But against trucks from 10 years ago(and the current chevy), I think you're right. www.google.com/amp/s/www.caranddriver.com/amp/reviews/2017-ford-f-250-super-duty-diesel-4x4-crew-cab-test-review www.ramforum.com/threads/cummins-vs-hemi-weight.112416/

Are you basically saying it’s a Causeway Twin Jet Ski Truck, or a 21 ft light 5th wheel truck? Hope you had a Great 4th to you and the family!!
