@@c0ldyloxproductions324 Companies don't usually discontinue something that sells well. The reason it didn't sell well is because Nissan didn't build the Titan XD up enough to offset the extra mass of the powerplant, which in turn reduced capability compared to the otherwise identical gas version. Consumers aren't really very interested in the Titan in general, let alone an XD and even less so a diesel XD that can't even do what a gas XD can do. Cummins would have gladly kept manufacturing the powerplant if Nissan kept buying it.

I wish Nissan differentiated the XD Titan a little more from the regular Titan. It looks the same but check out its rear axle and brakes. XD brakes are HUGE and the frame is thick. The XD is amazing, best towing for the price. And best features for the price. Great discounts too :) That 11k is real 11k. Therefore, perfect for family travel trailers. (5-8k). It is about confidence while towing and not just nameplate towing capacity!

[@JsGarage]

There’s more to 8-10 speed transmissions. It’s not just about the first gear and top highway gear. It’s probably most importantly about the more adequate steps in between first and last gear available. More steps throughout the ratio range allow an engine to stay where it makes most power and/or efficiency. Less gears generally mean larger steps and more falling out of engines best power.

[@brianberes]

Andre, great honest review on the new Nissan Titan XD. I am a 2016 Titan XD Platinum Reserve 4X4 Cummins 5.0 Diesel owner and I can tell you it's been a great truck and I feel that I got a great truck at a great purchase price ( I aggressively negotiate every vehicle I buy I don't pay sticker). Did the truck have some some issues up front? Yes, (transmission shifting, dead pedal) but what all new vehicle doesn't I'm talking about all the big 3 manufactures, yes they do. But, I can tell you honestly now Nissan has figured both my issues out and my truck runs and drives great. And yes, the Titan XD doesn't tow 20,000 or 30,000 lbs. loads but I don't need or want that. Instead, my XD Cummins diesel tows my 28 foot Jayco camper comfortably and effortlessly with all my camping stuff and four passengers in total comfort with no white knuckle driving. LIke you said it bigger, heavier and longer wheelbase than the regular Titan so the means easy effortless all day towing gas or diesel. So, I am a "happy camper" no pun intended... Anyways, I think people get wrapped up too much in all the numbers and bragging rights of these trucks and they don't realistically think about what they really realistically need out of a truck. I can see if you are pulling a giant heavy 30 plus foot fifth wheel camper or if you are a contractor with a heavy duty fifth wheel steel trailer loaded with a tractor or some other earth moving equipment. But, for me I feel my Titan XD is perfect and its a confident towing, great every driving 5/8's truck. Nissan just didn't market this truck correctly in 2016 and I don't think they are marketing it correctly today; which is a shame because it is a very competent good driving truck and it is not like all the rest. Which I like its uniqueness. I hate driving something that I see when I turn every corner or stop at any store.

I own a 17 Titan with the Cummins. It’s not the 5.6 beast but so far it’s been a good truck. I am a bit disappointed with the quality of some parts though. The paint and clear coat is really thin to where I already have some fading coming in and chips everywhere (and I wax my truck after every wash!) The hood makes a squeeky rattle every time I close the doors to the truck. The interior backseat dome light is already acting up (had to unplug because it wouldn’t turn off) The fuel pump started to leak but was fixed by Nissans bumper to bumper warranty. And just today the chrome door handle cover that goes over the keyhole fell off. The clips that hold it in place broke. Never had these quality issues with my 17 Ecoboost that I sold for the Titan. On the flip side! The truck has plenty of towing power and feels way more sturdy than the F150. The seats are the most comfortable I’ve had in a vehicle. The sound system is excellent. And I get 18 MPG combined which isn’t the bad considering the weight of the truck and the V8 diesel.

Just wonder with the added weight of the XD what the mpg will be. 2020 non XD was what 21 on the loop? I’m guessing 18 or 19 for the XD or does it have lower gearing

[@BrandonAgpaoa]

I like it.

[@Nesto2005]

So when are you going to be doing the 2020 Titan XD on the Ike Gauntlet. Want to see the review for that with the non Pro4x XD.

[@mattb.6057]

I want to drink beer with this guy. Or maybe Stoli Andre? :)

[@jasonlarsen3515]

What goose neck trailer can you tow with a 1900 payload? A empty one?

[@2500mike]

Lol

[@davec.3198]

Balance the load.

[@2500mike]

@@davec.3198 depends on how much your pulling and what with. Maybe a longer trailer is in order Haha

[@boduke9428]

At 15% hitch weight it would be a touch over 12,100 lbs if my math is correct. That's eliminating any cargo at all of course and using the entire 1900 lbs for the trailer.

[@rickburkes4485]

LMFAO

[@Nesto2005]

Want to see the mpg on this thing on the Ike Gauntlet towing and what kind of rating you give it there.

[@aggiewoodie]

I like the idea of the Titan XD...and they’ve improved it. At least cosmetically, but is Nissan even going to be a continuing company in 5 years?

[@VARITHMS]

I wonder the same thing. The Sentra, Altima and Maxima all look basically the same, just different sizes. I never understood that approach.

[@CopCat34]

I also wonder. Their former CEO fled Japan and is now in Lebanon 🇱🇧. A salesman from one of our local.Nissan dealerships called our house. He said they have a new warranty program. If they do all of the scheduled maintenance then there is a forever warranty. Nissan would cover everything bumper tot bumper. Really? How long is forever in the Nissan world.

Thanks Andre...nice 2020 Nissan truck..seen one like this the other day in Taco bell parking lot

[@pryme2013]

Probably owned by the guy working the taco assembly line. 50k truck on 12.00/hr is the American way now lol

@9:03 I believe Nathan was testing a regular Titan with an airstream on.

[@Teamtealmak]

Does this truck still have the key fob trailer light check system?

It feels like people hold the big 3 to a way high standard then the other 2.

[@daver5149]

Yes the mainstreamers need to drive this truck before they talk this truck is so underrated for what its capable of Nissan should really up the tow numbers ive pushed towing weight on this truck many times with no problem.

[@RichBurn]

@@daver5149 drove it.. bought an 18 2500 cummins. blows it away in mpg and capability

and the lack of limited slip makes Titan XD useless … especially when you couldn't get the highest trim level with the crappy electronic slipping brake lsd wannabe shit.

[@c0ldyloxproductions324]

You're not gonna beat the value of this truck man. That's an amazing price point. Same thing with Ford and you would be paying 70k plus.

[@joshc606]

I’d feel safer towing with this than an F150 even though it can “tow” more. Probably 8k lbs total not 10?

[@jmgaming1224]

Titan XD pulls like a mule, F150 will get pushed around

[@ajmedeiros77]

Yes extra weight and stability

[@hiphophead9059]

Ya watch the video they did comparing the two the titan was more stable even with the lower tow rating

[@69yenko65]

Maybe 4500-5k max

[@jmgaming1224]

k w you probably drive a Ridgeline lol

[@steelhorseman6883]

Does she tow ratings change from bumper to fifth wheel?

[@MrDylanMitchell]

Titan's 5.6 has always sounded like an old muscle car. Titan and Tundra have some of the best sounding modern exhausts but the rest of them are second-tier vehicles. They're just not competitive with Ford, Chevy, or Ram and that 5.0 V8 Cummins was a surprisingly bad engine. And Titan is dropping the diesel when Ford, GM, and Ram have baby diesel for their half tons. Nissan's last diesel stopped being sold around 2013 when the Y61 Patrol was discontinued. Toyota has the brilliant 4.5 L 1VD-FTV and 2.8 L 3L I4 (diesel). I still think the 3.0 L 1KZ-TE I4-T is the better engine but the 2.8 does get better mileage and is more modern.

[@Jackmerius_Tacktheretrix]

Yeah nissan really screwed up stopping the diesel. Pretty much every xd inside on the road is a Cummins. And now that the big 3 have smaller diesels in their half tons it would make it even easier to market the xd because its has more power than the half tons, albeit at the expense of worse fuel economy, but drop that rear end from a 3.91 to something between a 3.46 and a 3.73 and the fuel economy would be much better and it would still tow good.

[@jay34183]

Sounds way better than an ecotech

[@jeffreyturner6262]

If they would have updated the truck around the cummins I’m sure that would have helped sales as well

[@ataboytube]

Maybe a little detail, but the tow hook « opening » are install wrong way... If cable/sling escape or the tow hook « open » on load: slapback on someone near the truck

[@theworldaccordingtochris4370]

A shame Nissan dropped the diesel.

[@Bru946]

I agree but they are trying to survive and they should try it again but with a full 3/4 ton and a bigger cummins.

[@bristoldaffern8898]

Hahaha no it wasn't the motor sucked. No power or cold starts and some other shit was wrong

[@clayster89]

@@bristoldaffern8898 What year did you have?

[@smokestack9795]

Regis Riley ....Spot on, Nissan needs to stop trying to sell a 1/2 ton truck as 3/4 ton truck. Either do it or don’t , can’t make a hybrid truck. consumers are going to see right though it. My friend bought an F150 to pull his camper, he was enamored with the towing numbers of the 3.7 ecoboost, two weeks into his retirement and sight seeing adventure down the east coast, he pulled into a Ford dealer traded in his F150 for an F350. He said it was not the pulling power that had him white knuckle driving, it was going downhills, staying on the road during windy days, and rainy days.....etc. These 1/2 ton trucks are basic work trucks, that’s it!

[@McarthurMotors]

Bristol Daffern not sure if you owned one or just seen one post about it. No issues in Canadian winters with mine. -30 starts are nothing! Also power isn’t all that bad. It’s not a big three (I paid about 20% less for my truck then a comparable ford). But it does have plenty of power. Now the cons Fuel mileage is comparable to the big three without the power. Transmission has a lot of tuning issues. The transmission works great itself but they didn’t put a thermostat in it so until it’s warm it does some funny things. Cummins and Nissan ended there relationship because Cummins couldn’t afford to produce a engine only selling 5000 units. Nissan really banked on selling 20-50k of these trucks a year and fell short of that by a lot!!! I’m sure the factory Cummins setup for that production and layoffs that ensued along with a hit on there share holders forced them to call it quits. That along with the need for the motor to make more power and to have better emissions. Why would cummins invest in a motor that isn’t selling. It just wasn’t a smart business move to continue. Nissan needs to develop a in-house diesel motor. Come out with a 2.5 and 5.5 diesel motor. One for the frontier and the other for the Titan Xd. 230 and 380 hp along with 499 and 810 torque would have the world buzzin!!
