nissan hasnt made a decent vehicle in 20 years, a friend of mine even owned a big nissan dealership and he even said that. He sold it off and kept his Honda dealership. That might be going a little far. Head of engineers where I work typically drives Altimas because they pencil out the best. He said they are no ways the best vehicle but he can get one with 100,000 miles, drive it to 230,000 cheaper than he can anything else. He drives 60,000 miles per year so it's important to him. Isn't that a crap shoot to buy a vehicle with 100k on it and then want it to last to 230,000? The way the majority of car owners take care of their vehicle with dealer recommended 10k oil changes and limited maintenance I can't imagine it is easy to find a suitable car. Nissan lost a lot of its quality after Renault took over ownership. If you could see his anal retentive OCD spreadsheet, you'd know he has done his homework. He loves Camry's and everything Toyota. Raves about Subaru. But he says the difference in upfront cost is so much that you never get your money back.

Nissan Titans are the ugliest POS on the road.

Their sales took a hit when their engines got a reputation for sucking pieces of the Catalytic Converter into the exhaust manifold and damaging the engines.

I honestly thought the whole partner with Cummins and their baby diesel would have been bigger for Nissan but it seems like no one GAF about it at all.

Guy at work is on his second one. The first one, the dealer had to buy it back because of electrical issues they couldn't find. Had the dash out of it 3 times.
His current one is doing OK. It's about 2 years old now.

Or at least the one a place I used to work for bought was. It was an endless money pit of breakdowns. And ugly to boot.

When pickups got scarce during the Faux-VID the Nissan lot in town seeming to have plenty of Titans at all times, telling.

I've had good luck with the 5.6 8cyl Endurance engine in one Titan and three Armada's (all 2015 and older). The power train has been solid, but the Titan Pro-4X had a surprisingly cheap interior, and while the Armada's are nice enough in Platinum trim, the tech is dated.
Gas mileage is best not looked at, it's pretty bad. Perhaps <= 15 mph on average.

Ran a Nissan NV for quite a few years. Drivers abused the schit out of it. Held up well.
Plenty of power. Poor mileage.
A look at fuelly puts them right at the last gen of Tundras for MPG’s. Which is where near every gas truck was 10-15 years ago.

I remember hearing about rear axles being an issue with the earlier models but I haven't heard much about them lately - good or bad
no shortage of horror stories about Nissan CVTs in the sedans That rear differential was a real issue when the Titan first came out. The Dealers had no answers for MONTHS .

Bought a new one in 2005. Still have it. Batteries, a muffler and I put breaks on it. Seems like a remember a transmission cooler line was leaking fixed under warranty. Still runs great. Paint sucked and some of the interior plastics have cracked. No complaints except for fuel mileage, which is why I only drive it when I need a truck.
