Mine does. I like them. I don’t see an issue hauling a kayak.

Haven't driven the new ones. Do they still have a turning radius the size of Rosie O'Donnell?

I like my 5/8 ton....Works very well for towing a travel trailer. Installed 50 gallon diesel tank, unreal range.

Not only is the new Chevy ugly as hell, all the major rating services say the interior is cheap plastic with 1980’s technology! That’s why the Ram is passing them for the #2 spot. Bizzare as hell how they’ve let the entire brand just go to shite with nobody sounding the alarm!

The new titan is somewhat less hideous than the old Titan but it still seems Nissan is purposely making them ugly just to stand out.

The sales figures are unbelievably low and i wonder if Nissan will keep making them much longer.

I'm going to consider one simply because of the price and warranty.

I recently got a used 2015 because i needed a cheap truck. Turning out to be a good call. 2015 base model with 4x4/crew. Just didn't want to pay for the premium price on a used American truck with over 100k on it. I have slowly turned my family motor pool into a nissan lot. I deal directly with the head mechanic at my local nissan dealership. He's done an engine swap for me on a "project" car so i asked his advice on later car purchases. He said the newest model GAS engines were best bet and to stay away from the Cummins diesels. Some may have good experience but he suggested otherwise. I got the 2015 because it was the last year in that line from 2004 and doesn't have any issues after 10 years of being in service. He also had a 2013 and an earlier model. Said the engine and tranny are bullet proof. So...i'm pretty happy with my 2015. The truck is the hottest selling vehicle format in America and the f150 is highest selling in the world. Nissan just trying to edge in there. Not as sexy as some of the others, but i couldn't justify that F150 price tag (and i wanted one bad).

My father has '18 XD. I dont like it, he's OK with it. The main thing I hate about it is that it feels like driving an 80's 3/4 ton. Vibration, steering, brakingx rattles, fuel mileage, without DEF drives terrible, etc. I think its fairly reliable but he does already have some switches and knobs broken or falling off. It tows well. Overall its OK not great.

ETA: I believe he has 60k on it, taken travel trailer to Portland and back and couple other long trips. No real bad issues.

What the hell did he do to it

Behind a Toyota dash is late 1990s plastic. A nissan is early 90s. Those items simply don't fail.

Now the vibrations and noises, yep. Especially if you throw on 10 ply tires

Guy at work has one with the Cummins and he has been disappointed in the fuel mileage.

Interior feels cheap

I thought Toyota was going to use it in the Tundra. Maybe Nissan had to sell a quota to keep it?
