2018 Nissan Titan PRO-4X 4dr Crew Cab 4WD SB (5.6L 8cyl 7A)

I'm about a month into the purchase of my 2018 Titan Pro4X Crew Cab, and I'm absolutely loving it. I traded in a 2015 BMW 335i since I needed something to tow with, and although I loved that car and miss the manual transmission, the Titan still puts a big grin across my face when I drive it. I've already towed a boat with it, and it didn't even feel like it was back there. Great power and the engine sounds great when you want it to, but quiet when you don't want to hear it. The interior is extremely comfortable and feels well put together. With several other nissans in the family (a few over 100k miles and one over 250k), it looks like the interior durability is comparable which means it should look like new in 10 years like my others. I test drove all the full size trucks, and the titan really provided the best bang for your buck. I think the ride and interior quality is much better than the ford, it's light years ahead of the tundra (though I can't fault those for reliability), I personally don't like the styling of the GM twins but they do have great drivetrains, and the new 2019 RAM 1500 came in a close second place for me. In the end, I think the Titan rides nearly as well as the RAM, and while it doesn't offer quite as many bells and whistles, I was able to get into a Titan for about $10k less than a comparably equipped RAM. I think the only options I would have liked that I don't have would be a regular (non-pano) sunroof, and a heads up display. Cooled seats, around view monitor, LED headlights and foglights, and insane amounts of bed utility and storage under the rear seat are some jump out options that I love. Call me a happy truck owner! UPDATE 9/25/19: I have 15,000 miles on the truck and no difference in option. Still drives and smells like new. I’ve taken several road trips and the seats and ride quality are so comfortable, I had no fatigue even on a 22 hour (straight) drive. My average fuel economy is 16.4 mpg - I use the Fuelly app to track every fill up. My best gas mileage is 21.7 all highway driving at 78 mph. Lowest is 13.2 mostly city with ~120 miles of towing a boat. I do wish the fuel tank was larger but it gives you a lot of warning before it’s empty. No regrets buying a Titan! Update 03/25/2021: 31k miles now and still have no plans to get rid of my Titan. Still very solid/comfortable and a great road trip machine. Towed a u-haul trailer through the Rockies with no issues. I’ve had the fan clutch and EVAP canister replaced under warranty but no other issues. I wouldn’t trade my truck in for a new one because I like how analog everything is on mine. No auto braking, no intelligent cruise control, no auto start/stop (worst feature ever), no cylinder deactivation, etc. It’s just a truck, like it’s supposed to be. And new trucks have gotten out of control on pricing. Update 4/02/23: I’m just under 70k miles now and still love my truck as much as I did the day I bought it. I did a lot of preventative maintenance at 60k miles, but otherwise I’ve just driven it. Just finished a 6,200 trip spanning two weeks including some towing and it didn’t skip a beat and always proves to be a comfortable road tripper. I’ll keep it as long as I can, just like I’ve done with my 2002 maxima that I’ve owned for 20 years, especially with the way new trucks are priced and the pointless features they have.

This is a capable truck for both offroad and towing. My last Titan went over 300K with no problems whatsoever. The new version has all the new amenities you would expect of a modern truck. Be warned the Pro4X suspension is on the stiff side. Overall I love the truck.

I trade trucks at least every year. During the past 7 years I’ve owned Tundra, Sierra 1500, Silverado 1500, and Ram 1500. I’ve never owned a Titan because of reviews - this year I decided to look at a Titan, and I’m glad I did. Getting out of a Ram 1500, great truck, but time for a change. Looked at a Sierra 1500 SLT, but not near the options of the Titan. Also looked at a Silverado LT 1500, again not near the option as the Titan. GMC nor Chevy could touch pricing of the Titan. The Titan is probably the best riding truck I’ve purchased. In addition it’s made in Canton MS vs. GMC and Chevy - made in Mexico - a deciding factor. In addition, the Titan has a 5 year bumper to bumper warranty - so guess Nissan has faith in reliability.

MADE IN THE USA--Turns out to be a lemon

Excellent engine/transmission combo---super comfortable seats---silent cabin almost no road noise---4wd engage very smooth---smart cockpit with easy manage controls---not overloaded with stupid tech---very ingenious accessories----NO BRAINER 5 yr/100,000 mile bumper to bumper warranty ( thats what sold it for me ). The most important factor why I purchased this truck is that its made in Canton, MS. Not Mexico, Not Canada but the USA. 8/2/20--UPDATE--2 yrs of ownership and no problems --vehicle is paid for--I like it. UPDATE-2/3/21--engine needs to be replaced--cylinder #7 scored--under warranty . This problem persist in 2017 thru 2018 and some 2019,s. Not a happy camper. UPDATE--2/23/21--massive power steering fluid leak--34,020 miles 2.5 years. IT,s A LEMON---BACK TO TOYOTA AFTER THIS. UPDATE:---6/15/21----36,700 miles--parking sensors failed and windshield washer fluid all over the ground ( this is ridiculous ). By far the most problematic vehicle I have ever owned . 7/1/21---My 3 yr -38k mile nightmare is over. Today I traded for a Toyota Tacoma---I wanted to like the Titan but the Titan hated me--drove it like a car, dealer did all the maintenance, never towed anything but a wood splitter---SHAME ON YOU NISSAN.

I purchased a CPO 2017 Nissan KC SV 2wd in May, 2019. It replaced a 2003 Nissan Frontier XE 2.4L 5 speed KC. The main reason for the change was because my 2003 Frontier could not pull my 3600 lbs trailer, and, after amost 17 years, it was time for a newer truck. While this truck has features that I did not have on the old truck, it is a gas hog! it only gets about 11mpg mixed driving. Also, it has started this sound that is like a jet engine taking off. This sound was not there until about 2 weeks ago. When I bought the truck, it was 99 degrees here in Houston, and AC was cooling great. And, no jet engine sound. So, I took the truck into my nissan dealer to get a recall addressed, and to look at the Jet engine sound. I was told that this is normal, and as designed. The fan clutch is engaged to help cool the motor, and is controlled by the computer in the truck. I explained that it did not used to be this way. Toby ( the mechanic) said that he could not change anything because there is no codes stored. Really? Whatever happened to basic mechanics? I took it to a friend of mine who has an independent shop. He tested it, and it is indeed the fan clutch. We opted not to have him change it as the truck is still under new car warranty. Another issue with this truck is that it whistles when you fill it with fuel. On this one, the mechanic at nissan said that this has never happened before, and we would have to get with an engineer at Nissan. Really? I looked at the fuel system in the service manual, and it seems to be a problem with the EVAP modulde that is connected to the fuel filler. I am no expert, or mechanic, but, really, if a customer comes in with an issue, you shouldn't just blow them off. I am thinking that this will be the LAST nissan I own. Guess this is how we treat loyaltiy. Never again!
