Well, I bought my XD brand new in 2016. I first saw it at an auto show and was impressed with the fact that it had a Cummins and it was in a Nissan. Of course, I have bought my kids a few Nissan cars and have seen some Nissan Trucks on the road, so I thought this was worth a look and some research. Since I don't tow anything (at the time), I said that I didn't need all the towing capacity, but it would be nice. Went to dealer and purchased in FEB 2016. I loved the truck. The interior was roomy and was comfortable to drive for long distances. Over the years, I have had a few issues with the truck. I have had the check engine light come on a few times for the EGR sensor which is for emissions. It does not shut down your truck at all. Took it to the dealer and they said that the EGR valve is probably sticking. Oh, when it was in, they also pushed an updated the ECU. Well, after I got it back, I started getting the check engine light again. Well, I put the code reader on it and it was the same code. Well, I decided to see what it would do. Well, after 3 cold starts, the light gets reset and everything looks good. I never took it back to the dealer for this issue. Also a note, the light only comes on IF I drive at a certain speed for an extended amount of time. Strange to me. Anyway, other than that, the truck has been pretty solid. I have been to the east coast (live in the Midwest), out to South Dakota, down to Texas and many other places. I also town a 37 foot travel trailer during the summer. It works great. The only real issues I had with the truck was the EGR, which seems to trouble a lot of trucks, also had some fumes in the truck until I went under the cab and noticed that when they rust proofed the truck, they left out a grommet. Then the cost that I purchased it at. It was way to high compared to the other truck brands. Other than that, with over 100k on the truck, it is still running well and plan on running it for a while longer.

Pay a little extra for the benefits of the Platinum Reserve...it's amazing! It has literally EVERYTHING you would want in a luxury car, let alone a truck, and it pulls like a bull but rides like a caddilac. Extremely comfortable sitting and riding, tonnage of power.

Good looking Truck but what a Dawg. One problem after another and evidently some serious assembly line issues, missing screws, rattling, knocking, no hose clamp causing coolant evacuation in the middle of nowhere, left me stranded, tranmission starting to slip and jerk, can you check transmission fluid level? No...there is no dipstick. First and only time i pulled a 18 foot empty pipe rail trailer, fuel economy dropped 10 miles per gallon, yep, with a Cummins Diesel. Replaced left front upper control arm at about 13,000 miles, has knocks that dealer is unable to locate and it goes on. Your going to take a bad hit if you try to sell this truck. Look at the amount of used ones for sale with around 12-15 thousand miles as mine did. I hate that Cummins is going to have to deal with their engine is contained in a coffin.

Bad transmission; Titan in the shop for 4 weeks

My Titan has a terrible, maybe defective transmission, something reported by thousands of owners on Titantalk.com. At 18 months and with only 20,000 miles the truck is down, locked up on the dealership lot, waiting for parts that are backordered and never seem to arrive. They say the engine light code shows a bad control valve assembly and transmission control module. But the truck has been hesitating and lurching and fluttering on acceleration since it had a thousand miles on it, and the dealership said they were aware of the problem but didn't know how to fix it. Now the truck has broken down on the side of the road, we limped it into the local dealership, and Nissan North America still doesn't know when parts can be delivered to the dealership. Its a nightmare. I'm in a crappy rental even though I have a bumper to bumper warranty for 100,000 miles or 5 years. But basically I don't have a truck anymore. Buyer beware. I'll never buy another Nissan truck.*UPDATE 1/16/2019 I have had two tires go bad on me before I hit 25,000 miles. I moved the unrepairable one to the spare slot. And the other I have to fill up with air every single week now. It drops from 36lbs to 29lbs every single week. My Ford F-150 tires went without problems all the way to 45,000 miles. And I also am having issues with the seat belts up front. They don't retract well, and they're awfully hard to latch, requiring two hands to pull it over and help push it in. I really don't like the seat belts.

Every thing I had hoped for in a heavy 1/2 ton. Tuff and strong like a 3/4 ton with comfort and ride of a 1/2 ton. Plenty of power & comfort !

I searched and drove several trucks before purchasing the Nissan Titan XD Platinum Reserve. I am extremely satisfied with the way it handles. The interior is very classy, which my wife loves. The only downfall is the power door exit button on the driver and passenger front doors. At night all buttons on the doors illuminate, except the exit power door bottons. Knowing this, on several occasions, I had front seat passengers who attempted to exit, but was unable to do so, because the power button was not illuminated. I made it a point to check Nissan vehicles with the same door features; Altima and Maxima. Both vehicles exit door buttons illuminated during night hours. I called the Nissan manufacturer and shared a safety concern. I was told they were aware and was unable to rectify this safety issue.

I have been a big fan of the big 3 and was actually looking at the GM trucks. 5yr 100000 mile bumper to bumper played a huge roll in luring me to look at the new Titan. So far very happy with my decision.

Dealers are discounting. Truck tows a 8,000 lb. travel trailer with ease and great control. Highway mileage about 21 mpg. Towing 12 mpg with travel trailer. Very smooth on the highway and comfortable. Our vehicle of choice for long trips. Truck is a 2016 SL 4wd.

I eagerly awaited the arrival of this new Titan after Nissan let their original version (and the Frontier/Xterra line) languish for a decade with virtually no meaningful redesigns. Nissan, shame on you! (My 2006 Xterra S is one of the best vehicles I have ever owned...) The early pics of the new Titan were concerning; it looked like a mash-up of various other brands, and just way overdone, e.g. the ridiculous emblems on the front fenders. Still, I wanted to see the truck in person and drive the beast. When it finally arrived at a close-enough dealer, I made the trip. Talk about a let-down! This thing is an abomination. Just WAY too big for a 'tweener. Maybe it should be marketed to WWE performers, because it's so massive in every respect. Except performance. Sluggish acceleration, and despite having a price tag at or above "real" heavy duty trucks, it does not provide real heavy duty truck capabilities. The SV I looked at and drove had an MSRP of $55k, and the dealer wasn't going to "move much" off that price. Yet I could buy a RAM 2500 with the awesome Cummins 6.7 liter diesel and its 370 HP and 800 (!!) ft-lbs of torque -- for $51k after dealer markdowns. In summary, I could buy this new Titan (and I was truly a Nissan advocate, having owned five of their vehicles in the last 15 years) with less capability and unproven reliability but pay more for it, vs. a proven star heavy duty truck in the RAM mentioned. No contest. Unless Nissan cuts their pricing by $10k, I don't know why anybody would opt for the 'XD'. I would be astonished if Nissan meets their sales expectations with this XD. On the other hand, they sold what, like 12k Titans in all of 2015? (Ford sells that many F150s in a week...) Thumbs down, and a Bronx jeer to Nissan for letting their Frontier and Xterra become old and obsolete. New models should have been released several years ago, including a diesel option and better/more adjustable SEATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (and rear suspension that doesn't bottom out when rolling over obstacles like the edge of my driveway... sheesh.)
