Positive Review
Nissan has properly engineered this truck. Notice that I said engineered, not built. The three "majors" build trucks, which have irregular workmanship, lack of detail, and quality control. With a proven Cummings engine and an interior (Platinum Edition) that rivals Lexus, Nissan has set a new standard. Written by an Ex F-250 super duty owner.
Critical Review
Horrible fuel mileage. Slow accelerator, not nearly enough bang for the buck. Will definitely be returning to the super duty. Exhaust smells bad. No lockers on 4x4. Seats keep coming apart.

Reliable, strong, easy to drive and looks great!
Fuel economy, but I knew that going in.
I have owned 3 Titans since 2008. They have all been great trucks! I currently have a 2022 Titan XD Platinum Reserve. This truck is quiet, fast, smooth and reliable. I have driven it on road trips and it is super comfortable. The zero gravity seats are awesome! I get around 15 in the city and about 20 on the highway, not too bad for a large V8. It has been very reliable, and I have only done oil changes and tire rotations to date, with 36,000 miles on it. My older Titan had 110,000 and I had no issues with that either. My friend has an F 150 and has constant problems with it. He teases me about owning a "Japanese" truck but I don't have any problems, unlike his Ford. I love my truck!!
The seats are comfy while waiting for a tow
Constant catastrophic failures
Glad nissan quit building these trucks. They are trash. First was a 2018 pro4x. Constant dpf issues. After 20k in warranty work, they voided my warranty. The truck needed an egr cooler. Sold it. Second is a 2016 sl. As of 2/18/2024 it has 75,017 on the clock. Has had to have the lp turbo replaced, the lift pump replaced, blend door actuator, and a window motor in the last year/1500 miles. Scared to drive it because of Constant catastrophic failures. It's now a yard ornament that's depreciating faster than a kia.
Tows better than half tons
Rides better than 3/4 tons
I've had my Titan XD for 6 years and 60k miles. Regular service only. No problems. Interior and exterior have held together very well. It tows better than half tons that are rated to tow more - I know I had one. And when not towing or hauling it rides better than the 3/4 tons out there.
Not many
Not worth the money
The 2016 Nissan Titan XD Platinum Reserve has been a total let down. For what I paid for this truck, it has been falling apart. Transmission has been changed, the fan clutch went out, the compressor went out, the starter went out and now the a/c is out and going to cost another $3,000.00. Stay away from these trucks!!!
You name it, it's in there
Gas mileage
This is by far the best truck I've ever had. I bought it new in November 2017 and haven't had any problems at all but the rear camera. It's very dependable and at 6 years old and 105,500 miles, it still looks like new inside and out, and it still runs like new. I pull a 9,000lbs 5th Wheel RV and it's rarely noticeable at all. It climbs hills and ride on the interstates under load with no issues at all. A very good and reliable vehicle. According to Nissan, this particular vehicle can tow 11,587lbs, and I believe it. Just and awesome vehicle. Considering purchasing another one soon.
quality engineering
none
Very comfortable ride with amazing pull power for any trailer I hooked up to it. Can easily tow 15k plus
Has been a solid truck owned since 12,000 miles. Replaced the transmission at 155,000 no other issues.
Smooth transmission, good power, great value
Big and clumsy, terrible fuel economy
After owning a 2018 Nissan Titan S I took advantage of the stellar covid trade in values and traded it in for a '21 Titan XD Pro4x. I shopped a couple other trucks as well but ultimately settled on the Nissan due to it's unbeatable warranty and "bang for your buck" value. I love all the tech, safety features, storage options, and creature comforts. Standouts include the adaptive cruise control, 360 cameras, back-saving zero gravity seats, and the incredibly handy and versatile Titan boxes. On the other end of the spectrum the Titan XD is a very large and clumsy truck in confined spaces and the fuel economy is absolutely atrocious (I'm getting 15.8 mpg combined) but any other 3/4-ton gasser would be subject to the same issues. Overall very happy with my purchase, no unexpected maintenance so far.
