The Nissan Titan is BETTER than the Ford F150! Am I Wrong?

[@dbaKen]

My Titan has been bulletproof. Been serving me and my family since 2004! I see many super high mileage Titans very often.

[@FallingLamp]

Same here still got my 04! Had its flaws in the beginning usual axle seal etc.... but has served me well. Don't plan on getting rid of her anytime soon either just gave the front a face lift and it has 196000 miles on it.

[@bladesofglorylawnmaintenan6354]

I had a 2006 Titan Se … I absolutely LOVED that truck!! The 5.6 was amazing!! I went to Georgia and bought a camper top for it.. put a mattress, tv and game console in the bed.. ran an inverter for everything.. Drove it from south central Ky to Tampa Florida and averaged 21 mpg highway.. I couldn’t believe it!! I’d own another one in a second!!

There is a simple fix for that. It’s a vent with a fuel filter on the end. The differential doesn’t breathe to create pressure, so $15 fix.

[@Mach141]

@@Joe-x9v thats incorrect. So laughable how many have fallen for this. If your vent isnt clogged, and likely it isnt, this mod is a waste of money and time

[@nickoffroad]

@Mach141 it's a preventative mod that all Titans can benefit from. $15 to potentially save thousands isnt a waste of money.

[@Mach141]

@@nickoffroad it doesnt prevent axle seal leaks. The seals dont leak because of the vent being clogged. They leak because it was a shitty low quality design that failed. I had one side leak before doing the mod. Replaced the seal. I did the mod, nothing to lose right. Well the repaired seal starting leaking again, as well as the other side, and now the pinion seal leaks. This is a low mileage 2wd street driven truck. If you off road through deep mud, do it. If you dont, your wasting your time and money

[@RobertHopper-q6x]

Thank you for putting the Titan on your channel. I have had great experiences with them and currently own one. My preferred truck of choice. My 2019 I currently own is pretty loaded with heated leather seats, navigation, tow package, and all the modern tech conveniences anyone should need. Drives amazing. Toyota are great, but Titan is my personal preference.

[@mahatma171]

As a tech I have not had the best experiences with Titans. I think the moral of the story is- you should not abuse it. The most egregious one I worked on was lifted, was used for mudding and probably hit the rev limiter more times than we could ever imagine. He blew the radiator after a hard pull (they have pretty intense cooling system pressures that can back up and blow out a side tank), then blew the head gasket as a residual of that. Miserable… I had to work from a step ladder to take it apart. I put it all back together for him, he blew it again 2 years later and asked if he could bring it back in. I refused it. They will run rings around a comparable year F-150 in the power department, so there’s that

Ive known several guys who have had titans and they have all had rear end issues. The axle seals are terrible and constantly leak out the diff oil and if you ignore it, boom. It is a big deal on these, as since they all blow up eventually, there arent many good used ones out there and ones that are, are expensive.

[@savageforlifeeli4968]

Nissan and titan are the way to go

[@RedWhiteandTunes]

The Nissan Titan had a flaw where the rear differential would blow up due to pressure building up in it. The remedy was to install a vent on the axle. Check out Nissan Titan Axle Vent Mod... That Nissan Titan had it's rear blow up. Only fix would be installing a new one in.

[@Mach141]

Thats not true. The axles leak, for sure, but nothing to do with the vent. Trucks with the vent mod leak just as bad

[@davidkane4300]

Re: what are Tundras known for? Rust. At least the first gen. So bad that the frames were rusting through in rust belt states so quick that they recalled and replaced the frames, which lasted just long enough for the corrosion warranty to be up. An oil treatment will keep the frames from rusting, but must be reapplied every couple of years.

[@kevinallen8162]

Randy, I cannot comment on the gasoline fueled Nissan Titans, but the Nissan Titan XD Diesel is an orphaned nightmare. My best friend purchased one new on August 18, 2017, and with less than 35,000 miles it has been in the dealership shop four times for total brake failures, one of which required replacement of the master cylinder which if not for warranty would have cost several thousand dollars according to the service writer. It has also been in the dealer's shop for turbo charger replacements three times. It has had constant drivability issues from day one that multiple re-flashes to the various on-board computers rarely resolve for more than a few weeks. Today, it is becoming increasingly difficult to find a Nissan dealer with a certified diesel technician who can provide care necessary under the extended Nissan warranty that my friend purchased (I take the truck to most of its garage appointments). There are three Nissan dealerships within 100 miles of where we live, and only one had a diesel technician on staff three months ago when the Titan needed its last new turbo charger. All I can say, is this has been far from being a reliable vehicle.
