Good morning TFL .. Time for the Best Auto Journalism on KZbin.. 😍 Thank You

[@MrTruckTV]

[@kevinmichalenko3615]

I bought my Titan XD based on TFL Truck reviews. It really is the most underrated truck in the market. I tow a 9,000 lb travel trailer in Colorado and have no issues.

[@Jv19979]

Gas or diesel

[@1tylerproud]

I’ve got a NV3500 and it tows really well. I don’t like the transmission technology. Tow haul basically does nothing. I manually downshift down hill and under deceleration. I’ve noticed that going uphill it won’t hold cruise control. Even a light trailer with no power issue at all as soon as I start climbing a hill cruise shuts off. Really irritating over long distance towing. I love the van and if they could solve those issues it would be perfect.

[@cardiobroker]

I had 2 f250s 05 and 08 while owning an xd. The Nissan blew my other two away. It was slower than the 08 but towing and comfort there was no contest.

@HalfShell not at all. Drive one and you will see! Especially the Diesel!

[@gongshow20]

I love how they made the GVWR 50lbs over the threshold so they didn't need EPA!

[@acdii]

Just made it more expensive to register in most states. Half tons are 8000 and under in majority of states, above that is commercial fee territory. Example, here in IL, that truck would need D plates, and an annual safety inspection, so $288 a year. A typical half ton, 8000 and less is $151 a year. Is it really worth that extra fee cost of 1700 pounds of payload? There are half tons with nearly 3000 pounds of payload with under 8000 GVWR. Better off getting a 1 ton and be done with those fees.

I towed a 35 foot loaded 5th wheel with 4 pop outs from the Canadian border to Sacramento down I-5 with my 2017. The trailer was an older model and I must tell you it was heavy. It linked up to the Curt 5 wheel hitch built for the truck. The hitch drops into factory gooseneck hole and locks into the factory puck mounts and was rated at 16000 lbs capacity. If you know I-5 the passes in southern Oregon and Northern California drop heavy Commercial rigs down to 30 to creep up the grades. My Cummins Titan held the speed limit and didn’t even move the temp needle in the engine or trans. What was also surprising is it’s unloaded comfortable ride but that ride continued regardless of the trailer out back and minimal squat. I am just now on my 3 set of tires at 80,000 miles. Thought it might be time for brakes but the mechanic said they are still good at 50%. Now it’s not doing that kind of work everyday of its 80K but it’s not showing it’s age!

[@monsword]

I own a 18 XD gas SV, the payload on sticker is 2250lbs. Not sure why the fully loaded version has 1750payload. But anyway, XD is very under appreciated by North American market. The best truck I ever owned.

I don't know that the Nissan is under rated. It's not popular and not selling well but there are a lot of reasons for that. None of the current "half ton" trucks are really half ton rated. They universally rate them higher to be competitive. Great video as always. Fun to watch. You need TFL masks to look more professional. I would buy them! You can get an XD for much less 😍

[@stuffandjunkandthings364]

The old 7 speed has the exact opposite issue, it downshifts and engine brakes on every lift of the throttle. I have commented here that I refer to the trans as "my reluctant partner in crime" for its behavior unloaded, and now with nearly 40k miles on it in just over a year and a half, I will say that I haven't been annoyed by it, It's something that I gotten used to. Like Mr. Truck, I wish they had hone full 3/4 ton with it. If you climb under it and look around, It's as if that is what they were going to do, and at the last second, changed their minds, It is completely overbuilt for the GVWR- which isn't a bad thing, just a bit of a missed opportunity. My truck weighs in at 6788 with me, usual tools and a full tank. Empty (ish) mpg's have averaged right around 15 in mixed driving, although I do have a light foot. Get too crazy with the loud pedal, and single digits WILL happen. Towing MPG for me has averaged about 12. My trailer is a 16x8.5x7.5 enclosed, which weighs right at 6800lbs (basically a shop on wheels). Keep in mind that I live in TX, so not a lot of hills here, and I generally tow at 65, so your results may vary.

Do this with actual half ton and not the 3/4 ton Titan. Max it out I want to see that video.Also I want to see the towing specs up front on the truck and he weight you're towing. Not mixed in somewhere in the video. THIS TRUCK is UNDERRATED it competently tows better than an f150 and most half ton trucks from other brands, what sells those trucks is brand loyalty. Why ppl are loyal to car companies is beyond me.

[@acdii]

it's technically a 3/4 ton truck so it has to tow better, mass up front equals more stable towing out back, but 1708 payload is half ton payload, so don't even think about 5th wheels, most 1/2 ton towables start out at 1500 pounds pin DRY. If I am going to pay for 8,001 and up registration fees, the 1 ton is the way to go.

You guys must have not ever towed really heavy with a true half ton. I had a f150 max tow ecboost. Was rated at 11,300 pounds. Towed my 7000 pound travel trailer with it and was scared to death. It was so unstable. Now I have a 2018 XD with the Cummins and towing the same travel trailer it is unbelievable how much difference in towing with the XD. The XD in my opinion is for true half ton people that want much more stability towing. Ford is screwing up by making the trucks lighter to increase the towing numbers. I actually had a 2017 f250 king ranch as well with the 6.2. I was a diehard ford fan. Still like them but you will call me crazy but I could never get that truck to be stable either. My XD is heavier than my old 17 f250. Now I will say this also had a 2011 f250 with the 6.7 and that truck was a beast. Was extremely stable why.... because it was heavy. A heavier vehicle will always be more stable

I’ve towed with my personal truck in the mountains (2012 tundra) and the trucks my company uses for work (2019-2020 silverado’s), and I’ve found the grade braking to work exactly as intended on both. You usually have to press the brake pedal once or twice initially going down the grade to get the grade braking to active. Once you do that, it usually works fine, if you’re in tow haul mode.

[@NatureRecycleFlorida]

for that price you can get a fairly well equipped 3/4 ton diesel 4x4 that would tow much more safely 9k

[@RLC2020]

But that's not a good daily driver/run to the store truck. I bought my 5.6 Titan XD because I only drive 5 miles each way to work and that's not good for a modern diesel. The titan XD SV trim is 15k less than the Platinum and you can't touch a diesel 3/4 ton in the $50k range.

[@junehhan]

You have to love just how good that v8 sounds. Sadly, it makes me wonder just how long it will be around since the XD has already been discontinued for Canada. Offering it in a single platinum trim level is also risky considering that it is only available to a very small segment of the truck buying market at that price point. If Nissan thinks that circulating press vehicles is all the marketing they need to do, then they will be in for a surprise as nobody really knows what the XD is all about.

[@tyalderdice4980]

I have on good authority that Nissan Canada is going to keep the Titan

[@chadsteele1]

Nissan did the marketing all wrong for this truck, ive got a half ton ans now want to trade to an Xd for towing and box size.

[@celinek2690]

I really like the review! I am curious to see how the fifth wheel would tow as well in the same course.

[@TheRoeshow0324]

Awesome video! Can you get a 2020 Tundra and max tow with it? I want to see if the lack of transmission cooler really doesn’t have an impact like Toyota says

[@pryme2013]

When did they take the trans cooler off the tundra? My 2016 has one. I'm sure all the tow pkg trucks still have it. Mine has a oil and trans cooler.

[@TheRoeshow0324]

Mr M 2019 and 2020 model years. I have the tow package and no trans cooler. I’m pissed because I traded in my 2018 because I needed the longer bed. Come to find out after I will have to pay to get one put on

[@pryme2013]

@@TheRoeshow0324 what a joke that is. Pure penny pinching. That's why I'm keeping my 2016 til the wheels fall off. I also like that mine doesnt have that toyota safety sense crap.

[@TheRoeshow0324]

Mr M smart move! That was the plan with the 18 until the dealership called and asked to buy it back. Gave me a good deal and price on a double cab. Wishing now I just kept the 18. Just frustrating

[@scott8238]

Toyota is just going to crap on their trucks hell they can't even offer a fully boxed frame on the trundra and now the taco is being built in mexico.

[@paulherring4230]

Nice truck

[@Marathon13240]

I just checked nissans website, it says the payload for a crew cab XD Is 2500lbs, what gives? Keep up the great work as always, I really enjoy the ike videos!

[@joshperry2430]

That payload is for a base model, I have a pro4x and its 2100

[@burtbunns2270]

I'll put both Nissan Titan trailer and Ford and tow them with my Honda Ridgeline HD 👀

[@germandelariva3754]

Only has the 6 bolts and leaf springs are like a 1500 truck. So it maxes out at 15k pounds max.

[@danhartley8656]

I have seen 3 people comment in Titan Facebook groups that the Titan XD tows better than their previous F250 or Chevy 2500. How about doing a Ike gauntlet comparison between a Titan XD and a big 3 3/4 ton crew cab, 6.5 ft bed, 6L-range gas engine towing a high profile 11,000 pound trailer?

[@robertyoung8289]

Now put the Nissan on the trailer and pull it with gunsmoke up the Ike!

[@chrismanspeaker9372]

I have an older Titan that tows just fine and a newer Armada (Patrol) that does even better. While I like the Ike, unless that trailer is giant wind sock, most trucks will handle the excess weight just fine. The excess drag, however, is the real killer on towing.

[@oobiegoobie940]

2 things. Needs more payload capacity and a bigger fuel tank.

[@georgefunes4535]

Bigger fuel tank I agree

[@RLC2020]

it has 2,400lbs of payload, that's more than any half ton I'm aware of...

@@RLC2020 per ford webiste Depending on the engine weight and cab-and-bed combination of your preferred F-150, you can expect a maximum payload capacity of between 1,520 pounds and 3,270 pounds.
