The Nissan V8 Is NO JOKE! // 2020 Titan SL 4X4 Off-Road Review

[@bobuncle8704]

No reason not to have luxury when your working. I’ve had the Eddie Bauer Expedition, and now have a King Ranch F250. The comfort on long hauls is greatly appreciated. It’s my daily driver, so I like my creature comforts for sure

[@MickeyR6]

Just the King Ranch interior from 7 years ago will blow that truck away.

[@sblagg527]

Problem is 90% of the people who buy this truck (or any truck like it) are NOT buying it for a work truck. Most are social status snobs who can get away with listing it as a work expenditure, but have no real purpose for it other than they just want to ride louder and prouder than everyone else, or make sure their kid is the most noticed in their high school. American consumerism at its greedy finest.

[@ThatOneDudeNick]

@@sblagg527 People buy sports cars and never take it to a track. I think just wanting something is enough and I'm not concerned with how other people use it. Trying to gatekeep vehicles is silly.

[@ericbeltrami2718]

Not too much luxury. You don't want to look weak and soft like a generation z.

[@doctorlarry2273]

There are buyers for every type of truck made. There is no one truck that will please everyone. Thanks for the reviews - you are fun to watch.

[@walterg2856]

I just bought a 21 Titan SL same color with black leather, very comfortable and powerful truck. Sara this truck looks even better with you in it, keep up with the great reviews.

[@vivid_racing]

The SL 4x4 is definitely a beast 💪🏼 Love the video, Sarah!

[@AJvsEverything]

My heart breaks a little more each time you call the Pro4x a ProX4...it's an easy mistake to make, but us Nissan guys and gals rarely get any media attention to begin with...

[@tasimota]

Amen. Its wonderful that Sarah gave us a review. I love this truck.

[@jolson5581]

But the daft punk compairison was spot on though.

[@Hotpack7279]

Got me loud laughing.

[@Titantramp4u]

Well Sarah I bought an expensive truck, the 2018 Raptor fully loaded...and it's very high end inside. I wish I could get a truck like that for less, but just not the way the world works. After 35,000 miles and over 1,000 miles off road (most being at speed), I have no regrets..nicest truck I've ever owned.

[@khondkerjamil39]

Glad to hear that new 9 speed transmission is a German transmission not Jatco. One thing I am iffy about the direct injection engine which will suffer carbon buildup at some point, I hope Nissan has a cure for that. I have owned three Nissan Maxima, last one was model year 1996, drove it 389,000 miles, minimum maintenance. Sold it to my latino friend, he's still driving it.

[@NissanPodcast]

It’s a jatco

[@malcolmar]

Wow. Nissan has really stepped up their game with their truck. This thing is impressive!

[@buickboy92]

Love the Titan. 👍 Design is fantastic, not to mention that great sound. 👍

[@twinturbov8]

I’ve noticed lots of people bash this truck, but honestly I love it. The engine growls like it did on the previous generation (Gen 1) and has such a powerful V8. Sure, the Cummins wasn’t all too great, but the V8 is still such a trooper. I love the design of the truck and I would be super happy if I could get my hands on one!

[@135iN55]

99% of car reviewers' road tests are actually OEM tire tests.

[@dalephillips8250]

The Tundra made it up that hill much easier with regular tires.

[@weirdshibainu]

True. Most OEM tires are average at best

[@maxxq874]

My kids and I love your channel. We watch you before bedtime every night lately. Please be careful during this period with the coronavirus around. My 8 yr-old asked if you were being careful since you're in AZ and I told him you were.

[@michaelskinner896]

Loved the little chirps from the back-seat penguin. Perfectly timed - that made me laugh.

[@yungkidnf]

Those the Guin twins

[@Ortho281]

I have a 2019 Titan XD Cummins Platinum Reserve 4x4. The Titan XD lineup has a longer front end (to accommodate the 5.0L Cummins), longer (6 1/2’) bed and sits about 3” higher on a taller (stronger) frame designed for a higher payload and towing. 2019 was the last year for the Cummins engine in the XD lineup. They still offer the same 5.6L Gas (upgraded) as in the regular Titan but with a new 9-speed transmission.

[@wagonkit]

I absolutely love the way you.... just are. The way you pronounce everything and just your overall demeanor! Thank you for being so awesome!! ^_^

[@garageworker]

1:52 Don’t ever stop. Also Nissan, thank you for sending this truck to her for review. Even though I’m not in the market for a truck this really makes me appreciate the truck and it’s features.

[@coldfire2812]

Love your reviews and personality!! Just bought a 2021 Pro4x yesterday, putting a 2" front leveling kit on and changing out the tires, but this is a nice truck! Nice review

[@ozzyavro9498]

Love that the Guin twin's had a bit part, keep em comin. You're the best.

[@nismorg]

Sara, the off-road model is "PRO-4X"

[@josephemperly7221]

Never seen your reviews before but I thought it was great. Loved your road test!

[@saegaema]

"It smells like the beach." Nothing like a pleasant olfactory hallucination to get you through a review. As always, great content and a trip to the shore, to boot.

[@MrInnovativeSound]

Sarah I love your reviews! They are so fun, your personality rocks! Keep it up! FYI the Titan XD is their 3/4 ton version and the version that use to be available with the Cummins 5.0. You can spec an XD as an SL, as well. Believe it or not, the XD has larger brakes, bigger frame, longer engine compartment, larger bed, etc, etc. The XD Diesel has a GVWR of 8990 lbs. making it a true Class 2B truck. ...Wish they still offered the Cummins, but unfortunately they didn't sell enough to make the minimum manufacturing requirements for Cummins. So Vanilla Ice won't be roll'n in an XD 5.0 anymo ;( unless it's used , yo ! Enjoy your day!

[@davidstuart4915]

Sarah, you are looking better than ever - and your videos even more addictive :) x

[@jimboheadspace1788]

Sarah, keep on with your weird, absurd, delightful automotive comparisons. Charming.

[@Zecro67]

Vehicles have gotten ridiculously expensive over the last several years so when I shopped around I found a new F-150 STX for $30,000 which had everything I need and I can add leather seats later but I still had it in the budget to add an Airaid CAI, flownaster dual exhaust a hard tonneau cover and the under seat storage. I LOVE IT !

[@neoanderson7]

This thing is ginormous! Ridiculous price! That was a massive dirt cloud you kicked up. I love how you broke it down to so many Roman Chariots. 😂 Never understood luxury trucks. Probably never will. Great review! 👍🏻

[@neoanderson7]

BaTTle CAt that’s next level crazy. The purpose of the truck is to haul things. That carpet won’t last 2 secs if you were to use the bed as intended. 🤷🏻‍♂️😂

[@BigGroupHug]

When you have a work truck it's your personal office, errand runner, meeting room, road trip hauler, client transportation. It's your world.

[@jwester7009]

The truck is missing some more cup holders under the hood 😁

[@Luk454]

2019 was the last year the Cummins diesel was available.

[@ajmedeiros77]

Luk454 I wasn’t going to correct her lol

[@SarahnTuned]

Well that sucks, lol.

[@dozer1642]

Oh, Cummins diesels aren’t available any longer?

[@JmanRx81]

Dozer1642 nope

[@ColJonSquall1]

@@dozer1642 nope, they kept the platform for the XD, which is the 5/8 ton version, but only with the modified 5.6 v8. The reason I say its modified is the fact you need premium to get the numbers mentioned. If you use regular gas, it'll drop the horsepower down to 395, the previous version of the v8's power. This version is the normal half ton, its just the front is still sharing components with the 5/8 ton. The main difference is height, weight and towing capacity between the two. With the regular Titan, its just under 10k, with the XD platform, its closer to 12k.

[@azarahwagner2749]

2020 Nissan Titan GT-R. Absolutely loved this video, Sarah. My favorite vehicle review.

[@mxpxguy79]

This has got to be the oddest yet funniest Titan review I've ever seen, I loved it !!!

[@UnenthusedEnthusiast]

Finally someone reviewed a Titan that’s NOT a Pro 4x!

[@wyattoneable]

No , don't stop making comparisons. They are spot on! Trucks should be purpose built for utility. I love extra cup holders for water storage. :)

[@geoffreyburgess3078]

I love that you talk to the trucks!

[@addytuney2028]

pickups used to be some of the cheapest vehicles you could purchase. A decent audio system with basic amenities is all i need in a pickup. thank you Sarah! xo

Watching your videos makes folding laundry enjoyable.

[@pizzagogo6151]

I have no interest in trucks and I usually just watch your videos when you are doing mods etc- but I enjoyed this just because you made it very entertaining ( including your weird comparisons😁) - thanks!

[@dqbuddybluetoo18]

Smokin hot Sarah doing a truck interview keep up the great work

[@ross7684]

I like the creature comforts of my loaded F150 since it is my daily driver and, since it is more comfortable than my wife's Escape, we take the F150 when we go anywhere together. It made the drive to Chicago and back last weekend to tow all of my son's possessions back to his home in Mpls comfortable .

[@frankiem749]

It's three cupholders per passenger 1) for your beer 2) for your mix drink 3) for your water bottle keep hydrated while enjoying being chauffeured in luxury. Just slap an infinity QX front end on it.

Never stop making weird comparisons. They're absolutely darling and hilarious.

[@douglasfrompa593]

Now that's what I am talking about. It did take a second till i saw the truck though. Thanks, Sarah. Great review.

[@benrondo912]

You're the best Sarah! Love your channel

[@GhostRyderFPV]

Pickups are cash cows, with huge profit margins, and some of the most successful marketing campaigns the world has ever seen. Few actually need one, fewer still desire one, yet they're the big 3's top selling vehicles. They have tiny legacy costs, as not much R&D was needed to go from Ox-Cart to Pickup Truck. The country cries and whines when gas goes over 3 bucks, yet these things sell so well that Ford doesn't need to sell cars anymore in the US. And yet, above all that, the Big 3 ratchet up the prices for their leather-clad dinosaurs every chance they get. Mind. Blown. Platinum Edition

[@niklaswejedal463]

Hey - I was thinking of the Daft Punk helmet a second before you said it! Also: Generally I am all for utility/function over luxury, so if I ever needed a pickup truck it would have to be a utilitarian one. Great review as always!

[@ΒΞΔΝ]

Ayy my brother was thinking about getting one of these for work. I will have to send him this vid. You're the best Sarah! Keep up the great content! ❤ Sarah gets a BEAN score of 5!

[@badopinionsrighthere]

I used to hate luxo-trucks until I realized they're the same as the old 70's landyacht luxury cars but the trunk lid is optional. I can't hate something so hilariously impractical, even though I know I should

[@beachboy0505]

Always happy to see you

[@Bender24k]

Daft Punk helmet - YES! I watch you for serious tech, JDM+OCD & your weird humor. Titan sounds great.

[@romeobravo5.56]

Sarah, too funny very enjoyable I dig people who don’t take themselves too seriously. My buddy and I have a running bet that you use the trucks for the week that you have them to make parts runs for Mr. 2 thanks for the vids!!

[@edwardott7239]

After you mentioned about the price tag and luxury/utility debate, it made me think that the ill-fated Lincoln Blackwood pickup was ahead of its time (with a price tag being roughly half of the 2020 Titan). By the way, the Daft Punk reference is spot on with those mirrors, Sarah. :)

[@mikeh6876]

I have always thought that a "luxury" truck could also be a work/utility truck. I have seen quite a few high-end trucks (F-150 Limited) pulling work trailers. Like you, I would prefer a Raptor (Shelby). Great review. I am getting better at guessing what your scores will be. Not there yet, but, I am trying.

[@smll6227]

You get base models for work. Luxury for personal. Here in Alberta, 6 months of snow 3 months of rain. 4x4 is important. We are a oilfield province.

[@hondofourfivetwo9347]

My current Truck has 200K mi, it’s a 1999 Chevy Silverado Z71 LS, with a 5.3 V8 & a 4L60 with push button controlled 4wd and still all original, well everything .(🤷‍♂️it’s just well maintained) LS was a second from top trim and loaded for its day (leather was the only thing that would be on the next trim(LT Trim). It’s perfect as is for what I use it for. The occasional Dump runs, junkyard parts runs, winter snow trips to Tahoe/Reno, the occasional road trip sometimes with a car on a trailer, and the ubiquitous home improvement store runs. Can’t forget hauling a large dog that sheds a lot 🤦‍♂️. No screens but I can hook my phone to the aftermarket head unit and it’ll play via USB or Bluetooth my phone or iPad is my Navigation screen and it just works. Contrast my Daily is a luxury sports sedan nothing new but, at least it was built this century and just over a decade ago. I hate the factory infotainment system in it, what’s in my truck and my other even older car (also aftermarket stereo) again just works, and so much better than what’s in some newer cars🙄 Odds are keeping the truck for another 100K mi upgrading the daily for a 2021/2022 TLX or something similar. I would rather have a new/Newer luxury car than an $80K truck that I’d end up being to precious with, which would defeat the purpose of having a truck in the first place.

[@nismo370z4]

Nice review Sarah !!! By the way it's Pro4x not Prox4 !! 😄 and the Cummins diesel is no longer available.

[@kentbarr972]

I think a truck should be luxurious if that is what the buyer wants. It should be rugged and spartan if that is what the buyer wants. It should be off-road ready if that is what the buyer wants.

[@quantum_entangled_tardigrade]

Please forgive me for baggin' on your style in a previous car-review, Sarah (which you prob didn't read, anyway, hahah! @my ego). What you do, you do well, so keep doin' it! (Your subs and the views prove your making great content.) Cheers! (Totally off-topic) P.S. - Having recently driven a 2020 Maxima, I hope Nissan comes out with a new 3.7 version with a proper transmission (not CVT) and AWD. I would totally buy one.

[@davep2945]

I've said it many a time and people pretend I'm crazy but trucks are the modern day luxury cars. The average half-ton pickup's capabilities exceeded the real world need of the vast majority of it's buyers at least twenty years ago. But by then manufacturers realized that if they made them quieter and more luxurious people would gladly sell an organ to have one. In a world where grown men secretly desire extra cup holders more than high payload capacity and value is judged not by quality for the dollar but by volume of product for the dough, trucks offer more than enough or everything.

[@leedanielson7452]

Luxury and work both! Great review Sarah! Can’t wait till you review the RAM!!! 🥰👍😊

[@MyrtleBchsweeper]

Preview the new GMC and the back of the beds if you want to see lots of extras. And also the GMC 3500 High Country’s. And do ask Scotty Kilmer about the Nissans...

[@Verifraudreports]

[@mbiker345]

These are sharp. If I didn’t have a tundra already I would consider it. Don’t like that it’s direct injection only. Be more comfortable with direct and port. But other than that, real sharp.

[@lapisredux]

lovely bodywork...and the trucks not bad either.

[@hntr45]

It is actually pretty easy to work on those trucks. Yes, the cowl sits way overtop of the engine but the engine is pretty low inside the engine bay. The engine cover makes it look more difficult than it really is

[@shedboyz21]

[@derekpiehl85]

Keep up the great views keep doing the wired comparisons. And yes a truck should be either off road or for work. Most people that have big fancy trucks never really use them for there intended porpoise.

All the cup holders!! I have the 2022 Titan pro4x and LOVE IT!! More CUP HOLDERS!!

You could always compromise and go mid level trim so it’s not too basic but you at least have some nice creature comforts and still be able to do truck stuff.

[@jchiaro]

To answer the question trucks should absolutely not be luxury vehicles. The most luxury they should have is maybe AC. I don't want a bunch of gadgets in my truck while I'm hauling hay. I don't care how comfy the ride is while towing a horse trailer. I want it to just do work. Which is why I like my 95 F350 Powerstroke 7.3. The thing just fires up and does what it needs to do. A truck is not a comfy rolling smartphone. That's just my two cents though for whatever its worth. Thanks for the awesome reviews/videos/channel!

[@darrionchild5439]

Hey Sarah I got a 2002 Dodge Ram 1500 custom headlights Grill custom tail lights it's really nice tonneau cover but the deal with that is it actually it's a sports car inside and it's a truck on the outside my truck is cool I got it hooked up Motors built up a little bit it's a nice truck anyway thank you

I just bought a 2020 ram 2500 6.7 Cummings with 19.300 blds towing its not the luxury trim but it came in at 48.000 crew 4x4 short box. that's a lot of money but it will tow my 5th wheel with capacity to spare

[@WilliamCadiz]

I'm on the fence with the whole utilitarian vs luxury truck thing. On one hand...it's a truck, you gotta be able to haul shtuff and not be worried about banging it up. But at the same time, after a long day of hauling shtuff you wanna be comfortable at the end of the day when you're heading home.

I believe the Cummins was only available in the Titan XD which i think had a larger engine bay. It seemed that way at least. But pretty much all of the repairs that involve removing the intake/turbo need the cowl removed and taking the hood off gives you so much more room.
