I owned a 2004 LE Titan and sold it with 220,000 miles. All trouble free. Bought the diesel fully loaded. Sticker price $66,000 and got it for $47,000 (no trade). I LOVE this truck with 3 exceptions; for the price, it should have power folding mirrors, the info center needs to be user 'programmable' (by this I mean you should be able to select where some things display such as outside temp. The driver can see it but no one else. My family likes to see it. It should be on the console screen where the GPS is or back on the rear view mirror) and lastly I think the throttle lag on acceleration is going to get someone hurt. As an example, when you slow to merge onto the highway then punch it to merge in, the truck sits there thinking for a second before actually accelerating. This allows on coming traffic to be on top of you.

Purchased with Cummins diesel brand new. Multiple returns to the dealership for warranty work. Latest issue caused major engine shut down and white exhaust. Turns out issue was DEF sensor, system was consuming DEF abnormally fast. Only 4 days after DEF sensor warranty repair, engine light turned on. Returned to dealership who is telling us we need to cough up $8k to replaced a failed catalytic converter because we’re over the 50k emissions warranty (we’re at 77k). We are disputing this with Nissan corporate but strongly believe the DEF sensor directly contributed to the cat failure being that it’s a major component of the emissions system. Nissan just started incorporating Diesel engines in their line of vehicles around 2015/2016, based on that alone we should have never purchased. However this BS warranty issued is settled, after the truck gets fixed by a REAL diesel repair shop, we’ll be getting rid of it. Update two years later: Wish we would have followed through getting rid of this truck after Nissan agreed it was their fault and ended up paying and performing the repair. Now four of the eight fuel injectors failed. Dealership wanted $10,000 to repair a 4 year old truck. Traded this lemon in and took a loss. Worthless truck, worthless company. Shame on Nissan.

Great truck. Great value. Very comfortable, heated seats are not hot enough. Stereo best ever. Engine and tranny work great. Falls below 55 MPH on steep grades towing max rated load of 12500lbs. MY wife loves the running boards and smooth ride. Resale not so good, have no idea why. Will continue to roll it no plans of selling.

Overall this is a nice truck. The interior is very nice, but the truck lacks a few amenities a “platinum” should come standard with. Not having power folding mirrors is a big disappointment. Leg room is also poor if you’re over 6’ tall. My biggest complaint is the throttle response and the transmission. There have been several instances where either the slow throttle response or turbo lag has nearly gotten me broadsided. The transmission (which is the same POS that dodge once used) shift erratically when driving in stop and go, in town traffic. I have owned Ford, Chevy, and Dodge diesel trucks, and the 5.0 Cummins in this Nissan has the worst throttle response and turbo lag of any of them. Going to try a programmer soon to see if that helps with these issues.

I've had Fords my whole life.......loved them all; but wanted a diesel. Ford wanted $15-$20,000 more for their diesel so I went with the Diesel Titan XD Platinum 4x4. Love this truck. Pulls my 24' trailer with ease.......just like it's not there. I get 15-18 miles to the gallon with normal around town driving. One time I got 30 miles to the gallon driving out of the mountains; 35 miles on highway mostly downhill. I have to put 2 1/2 gallons of DEF in every 3-4000 miles. The Cummins Turbo Diesel is the quietest diesel engine I've heard and has plenty of get-up and go. 5 STARS FROM ME !!!!!!!!!

I have followed this trucks development since I read a story about it. We were about to retire and needed a tow vehicle to pull our 33 foot travel tailor. Purchased from Montana dealer and loaded car on trailer and headed home. Impressed with power right of the start with 14.5 towing at 80 mph..I do most or all my maintenance and oil changes. To date we are at 13000 miles, trip to Florida where we averaged down and back to ND 18.3 ,mpg...Worst fuel economy was in Georgia account lower C-tain values but overall grate cruising. At 12000 miles fuel economy gained about 2.2 mpg either cruising or towing. I average now about 8.7 towing TT at 70 mph now and am satisfied with this. Fuel filters are easy to change and reasonably priced if you buy from Cummings.I carry spares, oil and fuel filters since cold starts can blow oil filter seal and develop leak. One trip to Florida and three towing trips to SD and all is great..
Best truck I've owned!

Great truck....period! 100,000 mile bumper to bumper gives lots of peace of mind. This truck has done everything I've asked of it and then sum. I've put a 1300 lb Club Car Onward in the bed and a 10,000 lb 35 ft travel trailer behind it and up the mountains of NC every other weekend and could tow plenty more with the Cummins 5.0 Diesel and still have fuel for 300 more miles. Roomie, great looks and as quite as a gas engine. Handling is great and the ride is super. The only con I have is that it has to wait for the turbo to hit 8-10% for it to really show its "ump". I'm really pleased with this truck and would no hesitate to purchase it again.

I owned a 2006 Nissan Titan for 9 years and never gave me any issues other than some slow windows. So I bought the above 2017 with 6k miles for 44K at a Ford Dealer. I pulled a Travel Trailer up hills over 1000 over max weight 14K and couldn't notice any hesitation. I drove 1000 miles and my butt never fell asleep. The truck has plenty of power and the turbo allows you to get out of any situation. The only negative I can report 2 years later is when using defrost diesel smell enters the cabin. There is an adjustment for this, however if you fix this you will feel a hesitation in stop and go traffic. You have to choose which is worst. I have heard many other makers diesels make this smell. When people do comparisons remember this truck is in a field by itself. Its not a half ton or a 3/4 ton but right in the middle. I have owned several models of both. Chevy, GMC, Dodge and Ford. This truck offers the comfort of a half ton but can push the towing close to a 3/4 ton. Cummins makes the best diesel engine by far. Very reliable that will last for many decades. I am sad that they stopped production of the Cummins in 2019 I am guessing because people didn't know how to compare with other trucks. I love this truck!

Problem with the milage computer

This appears to be an unquie problem. I can average between 18 to 20 miles per gallon when the milage computer is not malfunctioning. Periodically it will show I am averaging 5 to 7 miles per gallon. I did video tape the instrument panel when the milage indicator was acting up and when it is fine to prove the am not driving rough. I was able to convince the mechanics at Car Max it does have a problem they cannot figure out. I took it to Nissan 1st and I they told me everything was fine, it must be the he way I am driving. I have not shared the video with Nissan yet. It acts up about 25% of the time. Due to the problem the milage indictator averages 14 MPG.

We purchased a 2017 Nissan XD Pro 4x4 and we had so many repairs. Repaired high turbo and now low turbo has to be replaced, part on back order. Nissan does not keep them in stock knowing that the high/low turbos are not good.

The Turbo lag is a problem, one day this lag is going to get someone killed or injured. Other than that my Titan XD Texas Edition is probably the best overall truck I have owned

The Titan XD is without a doubt the best bang for your buck in the diesel market. The resale value on these trucks is extremely poor but for the consumer, that means you can go pick up a lightly used one for half what it was new. Fully loaded Titan XD's with the diesel are floating around the $30k mark with 10-40k miles. You just can't go wrong. Not to mention the trucks come with a 100000 mile 10 year warranty.

Have owned my 2017 titan xd 5.0 PR for over 4yrs and have put 77k miles on her, and have only had 2 issues. The first was a coolant sensor that was making the truck think the coolant was empty a d the second was the turbo actuator, both were warranties and fixed by Nissan. NOw I did lose a week each time an issue occurred, but the problems were fixed without my having to pay so I cant complain too much. The truck is more than I need and has never failed me in any way, plus I love having a truck nobody else has, the uniqueness of the truck is evident from the 1st time you drive it by the number of eyeballs you'll notice staring as you drive by.
