How do you like yours? I test drove one yesterday and liked it a lot. The only Nissan we've had was my son's 04 Armada with the same 5.6L motor. It ran great when he sold it to buy his truck. But it was rusting into dust. Had 250k on it....anyway, I like the Titan. Do you?
Reports and videos are mostly high praise. Fuel mileage is the biggest complaint I've found.

Thought they discontinued those? I believe this is the last year they're being made. That is one of the reservations I have about it. Supposedly, federal law says they have to support it for 10 years. But you and I know the Feds make up stuff as they go.

It's probably the best of the Nissans.
But that's like saying the chocolate fountain is the best of Golden Corral.

We ran an NV for work quite a bit. Pretty sure it’s the same drivetrain.
Plenty of power and was a solid truck. It was beat on pretty heavily by our delivery guys and nary an issue.
Despite that, I’ve heard enough bad things about Nissan transmissions to give me pause. Maybe the full size trucks run a better unit?
Titan is a good looking truck.

The fact is, it's pretty good! Unless, you need a truck. It just doesn't match up with any of the full sized trucks. They even tried to put a 100k warranty on it and it still wouldn't sell. However, if you are just going to use it on the main roads and not tow anything, it should be fine. 2024 will be the last year for them.

Know a guy with one, he bought a Tundra to get better gas mileage. Was 8 or 9 years ago tho.
And no, that's not a joke. Titan was so bad on gas, he was estatic with the Tundra's.

Buddy at work had one from first or second year out of the new body style. It was an XD with the V8. The dash was out of it 3 times in the first year. Nissan had to get him into another Titan after 2 years or so. The replacement wasn’t an XD because one wasn’t readily available. Think he has had ok service from the replacement, but swears off of them now. His wife had a 3 year old Rogue they had to trade in with electrical issues.
He will not spend another scent with Nissan.
Sample of one.

hillbillybear, on here, had one before he passed. He loved his. One sure positive is they aren’t made by the UAW!
