Used 2023 Nissan Titan Consumer Reviews
This thing can move!
I have nothing to complain about, I traded a 2012 Titan SV so my expectations were somewhere around a little better and a lot newer. Wow! A lot better, It is quick, smooth and comfortable. And I will be honest, it is one good looking truck. The compliments just keep coming. All in all, I couldn’t be happier with it.

Don't Overlook the Titan
Mine is a 2023 Platinum Reserve, which I purchased as a CPO in June of 2024, so I've been driving it for almost a year. Let's get the cons out of the way: The camera image for the back-up cam is laughably bad. I mean, it's usable, but there are plenty of 10 year old cars out there with a better implementation. Strange that Nissan let the truck go out the door this way. The actual screen seems to have good resolution. I think it's the camera. The overhead view feature is nice, though. Rear doors don't open wide enough. It seems like a small thing, but it's annoying sometimes. You'll see what I mean, if you get one of these trucks. Gas mileage. It's a big V8, so no surprise here, but it's too bad they couldn't squeeze a couple more MPG's out of it. Still, if you compare mileage figures from comparable engines from Ford, Chevy, Dodge, etc, the Titan is in line with those, maybe a bit better. I drive mine like it's a school bus, and I can eke out 22 MPG on the highway but more like 15 around town. On the other hand, my 2012 V6 Pathfinder got almost identical mileage, so the technology keeps improving. The current generation of Titans have the GDI motor and the 9-speed transmission, so they are much better on gas than previous years. Resale value will not be good, since this is a discontinued model. If you're someone who hangs onto a vehicle, this isn't as much of an issue, though. If you're into customizing your truck, there aren't nearly as many after-market options for the Titan as there are for the big three, plus Toyota. Z1 Offroad has some good stuff for the Titan. (I am not connected with them in any way.) If you have a trailer hooked to the truck, the back-up sensor thinks it's a hazard and the buzzer goes off constantly. You can manually switch back-up alert off, but why didn't they just make this the default behavior? The blower motor for the climate system is a bit noisy. Maybe it's just my truck, but most vehicles I've been in have a quieter fan. It's not brutal, but you notice it if the radio is off. Really, that is about all I can think of to complain about, and it's not a lot. For the most part, my experience driving the Titan for the past 11 months has been great. The motor is great. Quiet, smooth, powerful. They "recommend" that you run 93 octane fuel, but that is so you can achieve the full, rated 400-HP output from the engine. It will run just fine on 87. I usually compromise and run 89. I tow a small pontoon boat, and the truck barely knows it's there. There is no auto stop/start feature, nor is there any cylinder-deactivation or turbo-charging. These features might help a bit with economy, but they are also additional points of maintenance/failure. I'm happier without them. Ride quality is excellent. The cabin is quiet and comfortable. Mine has the 20-inch wheels, which I think helps to smooth out the ride. Seats are very comfortable. I've done several 6+ hour trips and I've never gotten saddle-sore. The newer ones (2021 and up, I believe), are equipped with Apple Play, which is great to let you enjoy music, pod-casts, traffic apps, etc. Mine has the upgraded Fender sound system, which is more than adequate for the quiet interior of the truck. I've heard the base sound system, and it sounds quite good, too. These trucks come with a bumper-to-bumper 5 year/100,000 mile warranty, which exceeds what every other truck manufacturer is offering. I take it as a sign of Nissan's confidence in the engineering and build quality of the truck. Hopefully, that's an accurate view. I have not had any issues so far (at 27K miles), and the truck has a solid, quality feel to it. Seriously, if fuel economy is an issue for you, consider the Ford with the 2.7, or the Duramax 3.0 from GM. (I seriously considered the Ford. The 2.7 is supposed to be a great engine with adequate power, but the model years I was shopping for - 2021 & 2022 - are experiencing problems with the 10-speed auto, and I was nervous about becoming a statistic). Otherwise I can confidently recommend the Titan. It's sort of the forgotten full size truck, since Nissan didn't sell too many or market the truck very aggressively. I feel that it is an undiscovered gem. As others have pointed out, the Edmunds review of the Titan seems pretty unkind. My experience with the truck has been much better than the review implies. Take advantage of the lower resale value and pick up a slightly used one for a song, then go out and enjoy.

Great truck and for outstanding value!!
This is my first 2023 Nissan Titan SV Mid Night Edition truck and I have to say, I’m sorry i waited this long to own one. This truck is definitely getting the short end of the stick when compared too the big three. I think for the money especially along with the 100K 5yr warranty that in it self beats any of the so call big 3. I’ve own a 2015 Ford F150 XLT 2.7 eco boost and I thought that was a great truck but with that I had problems with it and as far as advanced technology in that truck I would have had to get the top of the line next trim level. With this truck it comes with upgraded technology that you would have had to pay very dearly, if you went with the other big 3. As far as I can say about styling, when I bought my truck to work I got all kinds of compliments and most came from people that owned other trucks from the big 3. I think the Nissan Titan isn’t getting the recognition it deserves but if people want to sleep on a good value with a powerful V8 that at top speed outruns the competition let them sleep on. After 10 months truck is still running and looking good as it did when I bought it. Still getting compliments. Here it is about 2months from being 2yrs old and it’s still running just like when I bought it. I put a 3 inch lift kit on it and some new rims and tires. Along with a roll cover and OEM fog lights. Also I’ve changed out my emblems for all black and blacked out the taillights. I guess this will be my forever truck.

Not as great as everyone claims
I have a nissan titan pro4x. While it is a great looking truck I find that it is very laggy on takeoff power as well as switching gears such as down shifting to pass someone or even take off from a light. In addition to that it's infotainment system leaves much to be desired. It's maps are a joke claiming many many streets are unknown roads. Yet supposedly its maps and software are up to date. That is absolutely unacceptable at this modern day with advanced systems like they claim this has. It also is terrible at connecting with phones and it's voice commands seem to understand next to nothing as if it were software from 10 years ago. Something like this shouldn't even be allowed in their infotainment system. In addition to that, it's cameras are intermittent when they come on and are not very clear. I bought this truck with 1k miles on it and unfortunately have been disappointed on it all the way up to the 33k it has now. It makes noises from too many places and I've had the battery replaced 3 times already because the stupid headlights stay on for something like 15min after shutting off the truck. Nothing like draining the battery after turning off the truck. Nissan could have had a good truck but stupidity and trying to cut corners is the reason they never made it in the American market.

it's a good truck
why this Nissan Titan has a lot criticism that it contains many hard plastic parts, I see that F150 ,GM and Ram 1500 contain a lot hard plastic too and price are very expensive the middle class cannot afford a truck from the big three , I just bought a Titan platinum reserve 2023 , I was able to buy it for the price of a basic truck from Ford or GM just do you homework find a Nissan dealer who wants to work with you and look for all discounts ,rebates now is a good time to buy 2023 ends soon ! .... my final comment is that the Titan is just another pickup truck that will do the same performance and work done
