I'm about a month into the purchase of my 2018 Titan Pro4X Crew Cab, and I'm absolutely loving it. I traded in a 2015 BMW 335i since I needed something to tow with, and although I loved that car and miss the manual transmission, the Titan still puts a big grin across my face when I drive it. I've already towed a boat with it, and it didn't even feel like it was back there. Great power and the engine sounds great when you want it to, but quiet when you don't want to hear it. The interior is extremely comfortable and feels well put together. With several other nissans in the family (a few over 100k miles and one over 250k), it looks like the interior durability is comparable which means it should look like new in 10 years like my others. I test drove all the full size trucks, and the titan really provided the best bang for your buck. I think the ride and interior quality is much better than the ford, it's light years ahead of the tundra (though I can't fault those for reliability), I personally don't like the styling of the GM twins but they do have great drivetrains, and the new 2019 RAM 1500 came in a close second place for me. In the end, I think the Titan rides nearly as well as the RAM, and while it doesn't offer quite as many bells and whistles, I was able to get into a Titan for about $10k less than a comparably equipped RAM. I think the only options I would have liked that I don't have would be a regular (non-pano) sunroof, and a heads up display. Cooled seats, around view monitor, LED headlights and foglights, and insane amounts of bed utility and storage under the rear seat are some jump out options that I love. Call me a happy truck owner! UPDATE 9/25/19: I have 15,000 miles on the truck and no difference in option. Still drives and smells like new. I’ve taken several road trips and the seats and ride quality are so comfortable, I had no fatigue even on a 22 hour (straight) drive. My average fuel economy is 16.4 mpg - I use the Fuelly app to track every fill up. My best gas mileage is 21.7 all highway driving at 78 mph. Lowest is 13.2 mostly city with ~120 miles of towing a boat. I do wish the fuel tank was larger but it gives you a lot of warning before it’s empty. No regrets buying a Titan! Update 03/25/2021: 31k miles now and still have no plans to get rid of my Titan. Still very solid/comfortable and a great road trip machine. Towed a u-haul trailer through the Rockies with no issues. I’ve had the fan clutch and EVAP canister replaced under warranty but no other issues. I wouldn’t trade my truck in for a new one because I like how analog everything is on mine. No auto braking, no intelligent cruise control, no auto start/stop (worst feature ever), no cylinder deactivation, etc. It’s just a truck, like it’s supposed to be. And new trucks have gotten out of control on pricing. Update 4/02/23: I’m just under 70k miles now and still love my truck as much as I did the day I bought it. I did a lot of preventative maintenance at 60k miles, but otherwise I’ve just driven it. Just finished a 6,200 trip spanning two weeks including some towing and it didn’t skip a beat and always proves to be a comfortable road tripper. I’ll keep it as long as I can, just like I’ve done with my 2002 maxima that I’ve owned for 20 years, especially with the way new trucks are priced and the pointless features they have.

This is a capable truck for both offroad and towing. My last Titan went over 300K with no problems whatsoever. The new version has all the new amenities you would expect of a modern truck. Be warned the Pro4X suspension is on the stiff side. Overall I love the truck.

I trade trucks at least every year. During the past 7 years I’ve owned Tundra, Sierra 1500, Silverado 1500, and Ram 1500. I’ve never owned a Titan because of reviews - this year I decided to look at a Titan, and I’m glad I did. Getting out of a Ram 1500, great truck, but time for a change. Looked at a Sierra 1500 SLT, but not near the options of the Titan. Also looked at a Silverado LT 1500, again not near the option as the Titan. GMC nor Chevy could touch pricing of the Titan. The Titan is probably the best riding truck I’ve purchased. In addition it’s made in Canton MS vs. GMC and Chevy - made in Mexico - a deciding factor. In addition, the Titan has a 5 year bumper to bumper warranty - so guess Nissan has faith in reliability.

5,600 miles in and I still love this truck. Before making this purchase I did a lot of research and had narrowed my search down to the titan, 2019 Ram 1500 and the 2018 F150. The titan had the lowest reported mpg, but when you compared the purchase price to the other 2 trucks we'd have to hit almost $5/gal for the Ford or Ram to come up ahead in a 10 year cost of ownership for me. When I came across the midnight edition at my dealership it was a done deal, a similarly equipped Ford or Ram would have cost $15-20K more than what I spent. The one negative I have is the infotainment system. I previously was driving an Apple Carplay equipped vehicle and the Nissan factory system just doesn't match up. With all of the money I saved on the purchase I was able to put an after market Carplay receiver into the truck, and there isn't anything else I would change with this truck! Update 12/7/20: At 15,000 miles I had the engine knock issue that is pretty well documented by now. The fix was a new long block engine. I've put another 30,000 miles on the truck since and have had no further issues. I still love this truck and plan on putting many more miles on it!

I’ve owned 2 Nissan titans (2018 Pro4x and 2019 SL) What I like about my Titan -handles extremely well, turns smooth, nice off road capability (‘19 SL came with Bilstein shocks like the pro 4x Titan), quiet and powerful V8 engine, about 400 lb-ft torque, making this a fun ride. -fuel economy in titan outperforms the fuel economy in my previous V6 midsize pickup! Believe it! 7 speed automatic transmission. I've gotten up to 26 mpg highway, pretty impressive for a V8 gas engine. -Titan used to have best warranty for the half ton pickup market, compared to Chevy, Ford, Dodge, Toyota, at least in 2018, don't know about now (100,000 mi or 5 years for drive train/power train). I've surpassed the warranty (108000), looking forward to the next 100,000 mi -comfortable seats front and back, front seats heated. Can easily sleep in the cab for an overnight outdoor excursion. -best part: the Titan is made in America (Canton Mississippi). Proud to drive a Titan and support American labor. Go USA. Downsides of Titan -yes, it's a half ton, the crew cab only tows 9200 lbs and payload capacity small (If you need to tow more you probably should not be looking to buy a truck in the half ton pickup market anyways). critics quit comparing the half ton Titan to 3/4 ton and 1 ton pickups, it's apples and oranges. If you want that high there’s titan XD -I don't like the fact that I have to turn my engine on to roll down my windows. Be nice if I could just roll them down and not start engine. -I don't like the daylights. You can't ever shut off your lights. I would prefer if I could just shut my lights off entirely. I understand it's for safety. -Titan crew cab only comes in 1 bed size, a measly 5.6 ft. I would prefer a longer bed. I have kids so you can't get everything, a full size SUV would be nice but you lose the bed, and it's nice to have a bed for my outdoor life. -I would not pay $50k plus for the SL Titan brand new (think the new models start just under $60k), but I would buy a used low mileage Titan hands down if I was looking for a new vehicle. It's worth the money and the truck is worth it. I have no regrets. Looking for this to last many years to come. -don’t care for how it handles as daily driver in town to/from work, but highway it’s nice -Joe in Montana
