2024 Nissan Titan Consumer Reviews
Pricing
The last real truck?
I don't understand the negative reviews by the "professionals" while the actual owners rate the truck quite well. It rides very smooth for a 1/2 ton truck. The use of analogue displays/gauges combined with the 7" digital display allows for the best of both worlds as you can select many different views from the digital display. The zero gravity seats are amazingly comfortable and the standard safety features of the titan cost thousands as options on competitors (with the exception of the Toyota Tundra). While some pros praise the new hybrid and turbo V6s, they are yet to be proven for long haul hard work in trucks. V8s including the 5.6 endurance V8 have been around and proven to reach 300K plus miles. Price: When shopping the capabilities, I looked at the Ram Rebel, the Ford Tremor, the Toyota TRD Pro, and the Titan Pro 4X. When comparing all things equal, leather seats, moon roof, V8, adaptive cruise, running boards (short wife and kids)... I ended up with a list of preferred items. By shopping those items, the Toyota doesn't offer a big 8 anymore and the price is a solid $12K or more with no incentives. Ford and Ram offer the 5.0 in the Tremor and the 5.7 in the rebel, but easily cost $10 to $14K more with no incentives or very few. The Titan offered 0% financing for 60 months and discounts with an already lower price. All in, the Titan cost almost 30% less than the competition ($10 to $14K in price plus thousands in financing charges with the current interest rates). Sticker Titan Pro 4X at $64k with incentives down to 60K with taxes, fees, and zero % interest for 60 months totals $64,201 by the time the loan is paid. The comparable Rebel at $74K with the same percent of taxes and the same exact fees at 5% interest for 60 months = $89,575 by the time the loan is paid. The Ram is great truck and the interior is a little better, but I do not believe it is 30% better. Pros: Costs, powerful naturally aspirated V8, very smooth 9 speed transmission, ride quality, seat comfort, warranty (by far best in class), standard safety features, multiple camera views, traditional buttons and knobs integrated well with digital and touchscreen interface, front skid plate forward location... Cons: lower max tow rating than competitors, lower quality camera display, smaller aftermarket support due to market share, MPGs are as would be expected with a big V8. Final Thoughts: While it is not for everyone, the Nissan Titan Pro 4X offers a lot of truck for the money. If you are in the market for an American made (Mississippi) truck with a throaty V8 and lots of features, it should be in consideration and does not deserve the lower ratings given by some reviews. At the time of this review, you can get a Titan Pro 4X for about the same price as the new Colorado and Canyon (considering finance charges) and far less than the full size counterparts.

Great except for mileage
This is a pretty good truck. The only downside is bad gas mileage. The steering wheel feels good. The seats are comfy. Never had a problem with any of the three Titans I have owned. I would recommend this truck as long as you shop around and get a good price. The Nissan people in Gallatin, TN are some of the best. The only deal breaker the truck used to have was it's terrible infotainment screen. Now they have a large colorful one that looks great.

Great truck at a Great Price
This was my first full size truck. I have had a few other small trucks. I test drove all of the competition Ford, GMC/Chevy, RAM, Toyota. I ended up with the 2021 Pro4X with all options except the entertainment system. The amount of features in this truck was comparable to some of the higher end models out there. You get a lot for your $$. I was surprised and happy to have gotten this with a 0% APR for 7 years non of the other manufacturers were offering 0%. The 100,000 / 5 year warranty was a no brainer. I really like the styling of this truck inside and out. It is very comfortable. I drove it for 4 hours straight without any low back pain and my passengers said it was very comfortable also. I took it off road and it had no problem in snow, mud, sand, climbing up hill etc. It performed beyond my expectations. I don't understand why this truck doesn't get as many accolades as the other manufacturers. I would definitely recommend this truck.

3rd Titan
I just traded my 2019 Platinum Reserve which was a fantastic truck and probably my favorite I've ever owned. I traded for a loaded up 2021 Pro-4X moonroof package and all. I'm enjoying to large moonroof, updated screen and improved instrument cluster. I'm also a big fan of the new headlight and twilight design and look. Ultimately I will say there are some things I liked better about my Platinum Reserve. I liked the premium leather better than the textured leather in the Pro-4x, so far I'm not a fan of the 9 speed in the 2021. I find it rough off the line almost like 1st gear is too short to take off smoothly. I also haven't seen that it makes any improvement in fuel economy at all. As someone who uses it to tow,, I've never found it to be inadequate as many reviews like to complain about. I also like and use the utili track system regularly. As for storage boxes,, the Titan does it better than anyone as they are very useful and easy to remove if you need a full with box. Overall I like the 2021 just fine and am happy that I traded. I'm loving the moonroof and black/red trim on the Pro-4X. My advise to those in the market is to give the new Nissan Titan a fair shake and test drive one.

Love My Titan...It Deserves More Respect! - Update
3 year / 35k mile update: No problems, no issues, no glitches, no rattles. I am not even beginning to consider swapping for another vehicle at this time in my ownership…a rarity for me. 20k mile update: Titan has been great! I am as impressed with it now as I was when I bought it. Wish it had Auto 4WD, and also would like the drivers seat to adjust lower...but these are very minor compared to the list of issues I had with my 2016 F150 (didn't like the jumpy highway handling, poor headlights, horrible dealer service, many reliability quirks and recalls). Original Review: I am really impressed with the Titan and love driving it. Impressions when test driving: Its real-world V8 performance, handling, braking and comfort are equal to or better than my 2016 F150. In addition to the F150 I have owned Ridgeline and Tundra, and have test driven all choices (though only bothered to go so far as sitting in the GM). Except for favorable Ram reviews, and knocks on the Titan's exterior styling (the Titan has a couple awkward styling points in my opinion) I disagree with auto reviewers' opinion of the Titan vs competition. Minor styling aside I feel the Titan has no major shortcomings whereas the others did. Real world gas mileage of all trucks is within 2-4 mpg of each other (they're all horrible, so might as well get a nice sounding and driving V8) and configuration choices had no impact on my decision. The Titan's final negotiated purchase price (not the MSRP as often referred to in reviews) and warranty did have a major impact in my decision though...with the Titan SL I feel like I got an F150 Lariat / Limited (or Ram Laramie / Limited) for an XLT/Big Horn price...and got a 5 year/100k bumper to bumper warranty vs 3 year/36k with Ford and Ram. Impressions After 1 Month: Love: Seat comfort is the best! Safety technology works flawlessly. Engine sounds and drives awesome. Everything is where it should be and is easy to use. Headlights that work (my F150's headlights were beyond useless). Don't Love: Manually locking rear tailgate (need to use a key to lock!). The rear doors don't open as wide as the F150, and I keep trying to open wider. Transmission has been confused a couple times...thinking it's software getting used to my driving.
