It's actually my least favorite truck, but I just found out they have a 5 yr 100k mile bumper to bumper warranty. No one else comes close to that. Also noticed some dealers are taking 14k off the sticker. Just looking for an honest review.

Have a titan xd with the diesel that's a little more than a year old. Love it.

Had a regular titan that I got new in 09 and drove it for almost 10 years with minimal problems. I towed a double axle trailer daily with it for 6 of those years. My dad has that truck now at his camp and its still going strong as a woods truck.

Great trucks, they suck gas compared to the other guys though, kind of ironic seeing as it's a Japanese truck.

I have a 2018 SV 4X4. I bought it also because of warranty and price. Got it in may from Hertz Care sales in May with 18k miles. Paid 26k for it. I take it out to the deer camp every week and havent had any problems with it. Gets better gas mileage than my 2011 F150 did.

I had a 2012 or so. I liked the way it dove around town, but I never really pulled anything with it.

Uncle has the diesel he pulls a camper with and bought because it's the only diesel that fit in his garage. He loves it but it's only his second truck and he is 72 so easily impressed. Did i mention they are FUGLY. Nissan has to offer huge discounts and great warranty to get them off the lot. They are the Honda outboard of the truck market.

One of my buddies works at a Nissan dealership and drive the Titan Pro4x. That trim package looks a lot better than the stock Titans do. It will probably be the next truck I get.

I will keep my next truck for a while. I was surprised when I saw the warranty, so I'll at least have to look at it. I'm not brand loyal at all.

I got 5yr/120k mile bumper to bumper including all electronics on my 18 Silverado.

I also got 14k off my Silverado. This was back in last October.

If you are patient, they all go on sale, and you can typically haggle a 5yr warranty.

The new diesels are nice, but nissan missed the mark. Instead of providing a 3/4 ton diesel pickup with a size and capability of an early 90's model, at the early 90's pricetag compared to a half ton (a winning strategy IMO long term), they came up with crazy styling for what would be a very conservative customer base and put a semi-floating rear axle in that makes hauling a gooseneck with any weight on it impossible. It is a roided-up 5/8 ton truck running around in high heels. Put a damn fully-floating axle in it so you can put some tongue weight on the rear wheels, and make the styling more conservative, and it's a winner. They would have done better to make it look like an 80's truck than the futuristic BS.

Those diesels are a lot of money for a truck that can only tow around 12,500 in a gooseneck/5th wheel setup, less in bumper pull.

I have a 2017 sv 4x4 crew cab Texas edition. I bought it used with 7k miles for 33k about a year and a half ago. The ride and comfort to me was better than any other 1/2 ton not named ford. The seats are very comfortable. The screen in the 17 is very lackluster. It is very basic. The 19s are better. My overall mind was made up when I could get a 4x4 with 5yr 100k bumper to bumper. I will say I have had a little aggravation with the 7 speed trans. It has been fixed with the 19, but I was getting some pedal lag and rpm fluctuations bc the damn trans don’t know what gear to be in.

If I had it to do all over, I’d have paid a little more for the xd Cummins. In another year or so I’ll be selling my titan and buying a used Duramax.

The thing is that most people who have 3/4 ton trucks don't need them at all. The "5/8 ton" is the perfect intermediate IMO
