I've always been a Nissan fan, but wasn't sure about the new Titan since it was a first year redesign. But there's so many Chevys and Fords I wanted to stand out. I drove from IA to AK to pickup my Titan pro4x 5.6 because I couldn't find the correct trim I wanted in the area. I trailered a 2010 Nissan Maxima with a Chevy 2500 Hd, traded the Maxima and pulled the 2500 with the Titan. I have to say it's pulls like nothing is behind you, I did notice it couldn't decide what gear to stay in through acceleration but after I removed the trailer it was fine. I wanted to really test the truck and going up a hill I was doing 80 mph no problem. So it's definitely a work horse. Gas gauge is hard to see with the steering wheel in the way. Also I did have to add power steering fluid because it started making a winning noise. Bluetooth to my S5 doesn't stay connected at times. Rockford speakers hit hard and the tool boxes are very handy for storing items. A lot people are buying diesel but you have to think what the maintenance is going to be later down the road on a Cummings and you have to purchase def blue. More of a expense through the years and a headache going to the auto part store. Overall I think Nissan did a good job, and I'm very happy with my purchase. But we will see how it holds up over the next 30,000 miles. Thank you Favorite options 120v power plug in bed by tailgate, very handy when needing a grinder. Built in bed and back seat tool boxes Over top light while driving, stays on so you can see cup holders Beefy tires no upgrades necessary with this package Overall feel is comfortable and I just want to keep driving it Chevy owners ask questions at gas stations, nice truck!

I purchased a new 2017 Titan XD diesel, SV with comfort package about 3 months ago and have experianced non of the negative stuff folks have posted on here. I learned in marketing that the majority don't say anything if they are happy with their purchase and the Majority who are unhappy will say something. My truck pulls and drives like a dream. Everything works. Not one complaint here. I would recommend this truck anyone wanting more power in a full size truck but also wants great fuel economy. On the hwy I've avg as high as 24 mpg but going a seady 65 mph. Step it up to 80 mph and I'm getting 19 mpg. My Toyota Tacoma with it's 6 banger never got over 19 mpg no matter what and avg 15 to 16. I love the size of this thing and is great on a long road trip. I'd like a bigger tank that 26 gals but that will get you 500 + miles. When you tow 8000 lbs you'll drop to 15 mpg or so. My Tacoma would tow 2000 lbs and get 10 or 11 mpg. Simply an awesome truck. Love that Cummins. They sound so sweet and love to be driven hard. The big three better take notice. Nissan has sold all years of these things out although be it in limited numbers. However, They never advertised for this truck. I've never even seen one commercial. If you when by commercials you'd think the only full size trucks out there are Ford, Chevy and Ram.

Nissan Titan XD Sucks!!!

Purchased brand new 2016 Nissan Titan XD Platinum Reserve my second diesel truck first Nissan. All I can say is wow!! I'm now only at 7K miles on the odometer!! This is my sixth Nissan/Infiniti up till now every vehicle has been bullet proof. Have to say every single issue being reported about this vehicle seems to be absolutely true. Transmission abrupt shifting, diesel odor in cabin, clunking noise in front end, power cut off when turning, and electronic issues!! Transmission shifting hard up and down. On the way home from the dealership in TN headed to OH the vehicle was barely drivable. It shifted so hard down that I was seriously concerned it would damage itself so I had to drive it at constant speed making trip intense to say the least. Note this was after the TN dealership supposedly completed the "transmission update". I limped vehicle into dealership in Dayton OH. Dayton Nissan dealer completed transmission update and advised vehicle good to go. Picked up vehicle and drove it off lot...first lot clunk! All day long...downshift clunk!...upshift pop!. Oh man now I'm really getting concerned. I'm so concerned about transmission damaging itself that I'm overlooking the other problems. But lets talk about those. My next main concern is the loss of power when turning. You turn and hit the gas to accelerate and there is nothing there!! I'm not talking turbo lag I'm talking literally the power goes to zero! Then equally bad when after it goes to zero it lags big time then abruptly comes on. I've been trying different driving habits to see if it does this in straight aways or if it is strictly on turns. It is most definitely more pronounced when turning. Talk about dangerous!! Just today pulled out at major intersection and gas truck coming towards light in first lane...pull out quarter way when I realize man this guy can't stop. Turning left. Hit gas to get away as smoke is billowing out from under his truck and nothing!! Thank Jesus as the truck was going to smack me broadside power kicked on and I escaped major incident if not death. Wow!! Had I been driving my BMW X5 diesel under same circumstances it would have jetted me away so quick I wouldn't have even thought about it later in the day. This thing is a potential death trap! Ok so enough drama. The odor enters the cabin while idling, driving slow, and occasional a waft or two while tooling down the highway. My friend the other day while idling was like "dude seriously this thing is making me nauseous". I'm like well you get used to it after awhile. He was like hurry up and get me to our destination I don't know how you are driving this like this. Electronics are full of gremlins on this baby. Get in fire her up and on comes the screen stating tran data is being transmitted...shift into R and camera should kick on ...would be nice...but instead screen doesn't change! Good thing I didn't back up because a kid was standing behind my truck and well...hmm...accident!! Are you kidding me?!! What good is a back up camera on a vehicle if it isn't reliable?! It is more unsafe might as well disconnect it!!! Ok so lets talk about more issues that are nuisance but not going to cause bodily injury or death. Back up and get to bottom of drive and springs in front compress as wheel is turned and squeak squeal creak groan. Is this a new Nissan Titan XD Premium or a 1952 Ford? I would argue the 52 Ford pickup wouldn't make these many noises when simply backing up! Embarrassing to say the least. I could keep going but I'm tired now of hating this vehicle already. I've owned probably 75 different vehicles mostly new and never anything remotely like this beast. Right now it is a beast of burden. Going back into the shop next week I'll keep you posted. Expectations very low at this point based on the fact Car and Driver just rated Nissan Titan XD they have at 30K and it most definitely is a lemon!!

I traded MY 2015 RAM ecodiesel with 37K miles for this truck. I pull an Airstream trailer & don't need 3/4 ton but felt a more powerful heavier pay load truck was needed so after much research & a very long test drive I pulled the trigger & couldn't be happier. I took advantage of year end incentives plus big dealer discounts and could not be happier, I selected the SL trim level which has most of the bells & whistles adding up to a smooth ride, very attractive appearance and assume cummin's diesel power.

I am concerned and Nissan should be too. This is a serious safety issue. This issue has happened three times since I purchased this truck less than 3 weeks ago. In the middle of driving I suddenly lose power as if I let off the gas pedal, only I don't. It just starts coasting and wont respond to me pushing down on the accelerator. All the electrical power stays intact. The RPMs stay around 1 no matter how far down I push the gas pedal. The most serious incident occurred a day ago. I pulled out from a stop sign. As I turned right I accelerated to 10 mph then nothing. No response to me pushing the gas pedal. I floored it, nothing. I eased into it, nothing. It slowed to 5 mph and crept until I could pull off on a side street. I put it in park and back in drive and it seemed to do the trick. If I had been crossing traffic I would have stalled and been hit by an oncoming car. The first time this incident happened I was cruising along at 40 mph when it just died on me. It slowed to 15 mph as I pushed to accelerator. It happened over 3-5 seconds. All of a sudden it came back to life and leaped up in RPMs. I emailed Nissan a week ago when it first happened. No response. I emailed them this time. No response. I called them and they have instructed I take it in to a dealer, which I will. It is 2016 certified pre-owned. Its a nice truck but of course not worth risking someone's life/health. Needless to say I'm a regretful owner.
