2017 Nissan Titan Review: Affordable Full Size Truck With Average Maintenance Costs

Jun 1, 2023

The 2017 Nissan Titan lasts around 250,000 miles with some engine sensor and transmission software issues reported. At $16,925 to $28,550, it’s a good value for a large truck, although it’s not the best truck on the market.

The Good

The suspension is smooth on rough roads, the seats are very comfortable and the V8 engine offers good power.

The Bad

The stereo system is outdated, interior materials are not as nice as some competitors and the towing capacity is lower than other trucks.

Is the 2017 Nissan Titan a Good Used Truck?

Overall Rating 7/10 – 2017 is not the best year for the Nissan Titan, since it’s not as nice as other trucks on the market. Owner reviews complain about mechanical issues, expensive parts, along with the low towing capacity.
Interior, Comfort & Cargo 8/10 – Interior materials are reasonably nice for a truck, the seats are comfortable, there are also three bed lengths offered.
Reliability 7/10 – There are some engine and transmission problems reported on the 2017 Titan. Models from 2016–2018 have some mechanical issues, while 2019 and newer are more reliable.
Performance 8/10 – Performance is good from the standard V8 engine, although the towing capacity is lower than some competitors.
Safety 7/10 – The 2017 Titan is reasonably safe, earning 4 out of 5 stars in government crash tests. It comes standard with a rearview camera, while blind spot monitoring is an optional upgrade.
Gas Mileage 7/10 – Fuel economy is okay at up to 18 MPG, giving 468 miles of range out of the 26 gallon tank. Gas costs are $14 higher than average at $330 per month.
Value 7/10 – The 2017 Nissan Titan is cheaper than many other full size trucks on the market, although depreciation is also quicker than many competitors.

Nissan 4 wheel drive titan

I like the towing capacity it allows me to do anything I want with the 4 wheel drive. I did have a small problem with a sensor going out but the dealer replaced it under warranty with no problem

Juan G

Love it performance, driving system, exterior design, very good sound system.

The only problem I have is that I got it without rear view camera. The performance is great very smooth driving engine. I really love the design interior and exterior. The driving is very comfortable I wouldn't change this truck for any other brand, heck I am thinking of getting one newer.

Tim N

That it has lots of power

It's an awesome truck. It had lots of power.

Jasmine Z

Nissan titan sl is a good choice.

I love our Nissan titan sl. Although I was concerned at the beginning to drive a big truck, I would never change to another one. I feel comfortable and safe in it and as you sit a little bit higher you have a good overview of the traffic. The one thing I am missing is a digital speed indication because I had this in my previous car and was used to it. I never had any problems. I am also very grateful that it has three seats in the back and if you fold them up you have plenty of storage space (good for moving). The truck comes also with an integrated navigation system, which is fine but could be better. Sometimes the directions are not very clear because the screen does not show the traffic signs as the appear on the interstate for example. The car needs a lot of gas, which is not the most ideal for us but on the other hand we need a truck for our business. Another little thing that because of the size of the car, we are not able to put it into a garage.

Nissan titan luxury review for the family.

Love this. Heated/cooled seats. DVD players for the kids in the headrest. All leather. Absolutely beautiful vehicle. Awesome sound system stock. Back seats are also heated as well as the steering wheel. This is an absolutely beautiful vehicle and very comfortable.

Bob

Best vehicle ever owned

We absolutely love our full 4 door Titan. Its extremely smooth and comfortable. The room is amazing. Great gas mileage for such a big truck. We have achieved 25.1 mpg on the highway cruising at 65 mph. We also have the factory tow package that tows are 28' travel trailer with ease. I looked at other trucks beforehand but chose the Titan due to the price with all the features and great 100k bumper to bumper warranty.

tim t

It's a good truck comfortable all the right features drives good was a good price tows a lot and seems like it will be good

It's a good truck with good features and good towing

Dona M

Nissan titan, reliable and safe storage of important items.

I love the titan, it's a very reliable safe car. With the extended cab there is enough room to seat 5 like most cars. The storage space is great. I also love the center console. It makes storing items convenient and easy. Also the locking feature for the console is amazing.

Avoid this truck & Nissan

I've a $56K headache Platinum Reserve which I bought due the better warranty. I was pleased until after being stranded 2,000 miles from home I was away and took the truck into the dealer for an oil change and tire rotation before the long trip home. The dealer found a timing chain leak fixed it under warranty, then found 2 bad engine mounts, replaced those 2 days later they found 2 bad brake lines but didn't have the parts to replace them and couldn't tell me when they would get them only it could take as long as 30 days. I was told to take their rental 2,000 mile back home and they call when they got the parts and said I'd have 2 days to return the rental loaner or pay for it, I said it was a 3 day drive. I was referred to Nissan corporate customer service, I called them and was given a case number and promised a call back within 24 hours. That call never came, I left for home. 4 Days later Nissan cust. Serv, e-mails me asks for a number and time to call me, I gave them the number and next day time, again no call, I called them twice leaving voice mails messages. After 8 days the dealer called said my truck was repaired and ready for pick up so I had to leave the following morning for the 3 day trip to return the loaner and get my truck. Nissan cust serv. Finally called on the 8th day when I asked if I would be reimbursed for my travel expenses of 2,000 miles/3 days each way I was told to submit my receipts. I submitted 4 nights hotels and 3 meals and gas. They would only reimburse me for the hotel and food not the fuel which accounted for more than 3/4 of the total expense, I stated that was unacceptable and an insult given their lack of communication, parts availability and all the problems I had with this truck with only 30K miles on it. It had 3 prior recalls, a seat replacement due poor workmanship, power steering fluid was bad and had to be replaced and I had requested they check the temp controls that were not functioning properly when they did the oil change and after having the vehicle over a week they never addressed that issue and that repair is still pending. I've since sent a letter to the North American President but have yet to get a reply. On my 4,000 mile trip I found that the cruise control was useless because the transmission kept shifting and searching which gear it should be in. This truck gets only 14 mpg normal driving and towing it's less than 10 mpg. For an 8 speed transmission I would expect better. I only still have it because no one wants it or will give much for it, 3 yrs old with 30K miles and its lost 50% of its value. I now refer to it as a Nosasan I'll never own another Nissan vehicle they customer service doesn't care and their vehicles are junk. I was also told my the dealer's mechanic the motor mounts will fail yet again due the engine heat and high engine torque. So they replaced sub par parts with the same sub par quality knowing they won't last. Buyer beware!

Paul

Worst buy ever.

So first I should tell you that I love the Titan. But this Titan, has been nothing but problems. The motor fan keeps going out the rear windows won't go down now, and there's a weird noise coming from the dash area. The worst part is that Nissan will not make itself responsible for selling a lemon.

MARK GOUGH

ENGINE PROBLEMS AGAIN

Had the engine replaced at 30K kms and now at 70k km I need a engine replacement again for the same lifter issue as before. But Nissan's response is we will fix it right this time. What did you do the first time? Now 3 years into my warranty and not sure what will happen when the warranty runs out in two more years as this is the only saving grace is that the repairs are covered by the warranty. But hey I was told the engine will be replaced in the last month once we get the parts in. Haven't heard from Nissan and cannot get a hold of them at Rally E Nissan.

A/c problems

Works good when I'm moving not when I'm sitting in park?2017 titan

Jason B

Look at Ford, Chevy, and Dodge. The only reason why you should consider the titan is the warranty.

It gets really poor gas mileage compared to Its competitors and It's tow rating is lower than Its competitors. The payload capacity is also lower than Its competitors. The turning radius also isn't nearly as good as Ford's.

Katherine K

My truck the best truck on the market.

The titan has many features heated seats ac spots for 3 ipds it TV's plenty of foot room an FM and GPS volume on the steering wheel.It's just an awesome truck all around I have enjoyed it since we got it actually it was on the showroom floor and my grandson picked it out.

Nathan m

2017 titan sv 4x4 problems

Likes- the power is great. Drives fantastic in the snow. Nice comfortable interior. Dislikes- Bluetooth not compatible with apple ios 11 and newer cuts out constantly. Doesnt like extremely cold weather i have had a few issues with check engine lights in sub 10 degree weather. Dash shakes on rough roads seems cheap. And worst of all truck has a vibration/shake issue. I have had it to the dealer 10-15 times over the past 10months and neither the dealer or nissan can resolve any of these issues. Seems pretty shady for a $40,000 truck

Gord Bell

Nice truck but...

I have had my 2017 Titan SV since new. I like the truck. It's comfortable, powerful and nice to drive. That being said I have 29000 kms on the truck and am in need of it's 3rd engine already. That is not a typo. Engine #1 needed to be replaced at 11000 km due to lifter bleeding. Engine #2 needs to be replaced now for the same reason. I still love the truck but am not sure if I can trust it anymore.

What Do Critics Say About the Nissan Titan?

Consumer Reports says the 2017 Nissan Titan competes well with many other light-duty full size trucks, and has good owner satisfaction scores.
Edmunds rates the Titan at 3.9/5, enjoying the off-road capabilities of the Pro-4X model, but doesn’t like the complicated touchscreen stereo system.
Kelley Blue Book users give the 2017 Titan a 4.5/5, praising the powerful V8 engine, but owners don’t like the lower towing rating.

What Common Problems Does the 2017 Nissan Titan Have?

Common problems found on the 2017 Nissan Titan include reduced power from the engine, slow gear changes, along with some reports of climate control system issues. Overall, these problems are worse than some other full-size trucks on the market, leading to slightly higher ownership costs.

Reduced power from the engine is the most widespread complaint from 2017 Nissan Titan owners at around 50,000 miles. One of the most common sources of reduced power is a bad crankshaft position sensor. It’s a part that is simply just known to fail. Changing it out costs around $250, depending on local labor rates. If you have reduced power, though, it’s best to use an OBD-II scan tool to find the exact source of the problem.

Slow gear changes are another problem mentioned by some 2017 Titan owners at around 25,000 miles. There are some software updates available for the transmission which improves its responsiveness. Other owners have reported that simply having the transmission serviced with a new fluid improved its performance, costing around $250.

Climate control system issues have also been reported on a few Titan models in the first 20,000 miles. The dual-zone climate control system seems to fail. Replacing the blend door actuator fixes the problem usually, but it’s a labor-intensive project which can cost over $800.

There are three recalls on the 2017 Nissan Titan, which is better than some other large trucks from the same year. The most serious recall is for the alternator harness, which may short out. Nissan will replace the harness on affected models for free. The other recalls cover load capacity labels, along with the seatbelts, which Nissan will also fix for free.

How Long Will the 2017 Nissan Titan Last?

A well-maintained 2017 Nissan Titan can last around 250,000 miles, which is less than the long-lasting Toyota Tundra. Regular annual maintenance costs are lower than some other large trucks, according to data provided by Repair Pal at $384 per year.

As a used 2017 Nissan Titan reaches 100,000 miles, and depending on the vehicle history owners should be prepared to replace the oil cooler line for $150, tailgate lock cylinder costing $200, along with the timing chain tensioner which costs $700.

John D

I have had no problems with this vehicle. I have owned Nissan trucks for over 30 years and have not had any problems with them. They run strong and do what I when towing a trailer or using the bed to move rocks, trash or wood for my business.

vanessa l

No not so far I have had a week with it and it rides very smooth and my kids love it too. The only problem is the car not.

Barbara G

We have found no problems within the 6 months we've had it. We love the safety we feel with keyless locks.

How Is the Technology?

Entertainment technology is okay, with a standard 5-inch color display in the dash. Optional upgrades include a 7-inch touchscreen along with a more powerful Rockford Fosgate stereo system.

Safety technology is basic for a truck from 2017, offering a standard rearview camera system.

Optional safety upgrades include:

Surround-view camera system
Front and rear parking sensors
Blind spot monitoring
Rear cross traffic alert

Is the 2017 Nissan Titan a Good Value?

Yes, the 2017 Nissan Titan is a decent value since it’s cheaper than most other full size trucks on the market. The blue book fair purchase price ranges from $16,925 to $28,550, making it less than a Ford F-150 or Chevy Silverado. When new, the price range was $29,580 to $63,160. Depreciation is worse than other trucks, losing about 12% of its current value per year.

What Engines Come In the Nissan Titan?

The 2017 Nissan Titan includes a robust 5.6-liter Endurance V8 engine as standard across all its trims and configurations. This engine is known for its performance and reliability, delivering an impressive 390 horsepower and 394 lb-ft of torque at up to 18 MPG. This powertrain is mated to a 7-speed automatic transmission. When properly equipped, the half ton Titan can tow up to 9,740 pounds, and it also boasts a maximum payload capacity of 1,950 pounds. Performance is also good, taking about 7 seconds to go from 0-60 MPH.

What Colors Does the Nissan Titan Come In?

How Comfortable Is the Nissan Titan?

The 2017 Nissan Titan offers a considerable level of comfort that appeals to both drivers and passengers. The interior of the Titan is spacious and thoughtfully designed, providing ample legroom and headroom, even in the rear seats, which is a significant benefit for those who often carry passengers or use their vehicle for extended trips. The Nissan Titan king cab offers limited room.

The seats are supportive and comfortable, upholstered in quality materials that range from durable cloth in base models to premium leather in higher trims. The available Zero Gravity seats, inspired by NASA’s research, are particularly notable for their excellent comfort over long drives. These seats are designed to reduce fatigue by providing continual support from the hips to the back, which can be especially beneficial on long trips.

For the driver, the Titan offers a commanding view of the road, and the controls are intuitively placed, which makes the vehicle easy to operate. Road and wind noise are well controlled, which adds to the overall sense of comfort and refinement in the cabin.

How Much Storage Space Does the Nissan Titan Have?

The 5.5-foot bed is typically seen on Crew Cab models, offering an ideal balance of passenger comfort and storage capacity. This length could comfortably fit a standard-sized bicycle or medium-sized home appliances like a washing machine.

The 6.5-foot bed length is available on the King Cab models, presenting an extra foot of space for those needing a bit more room. It could house items such as a motorcycle or larger home improvement materials like stacks of 2x4s or sheets of plywood.

The longest bed length, the 8-foot bed, is found on the Single Cab models. This maximizes the Titan’s hauling capacity, making it suitable for large and lengthy cargo. You could load it with items such as full-sized kayaks, ATVs, or sizable furniture like couches or beds.

The Nissan Titan’s bed also has some useful features to enhance storage capabilities and flexibility, such as the Utili-Track Channel System with adjustable tie-downs, and the lockable Titan Box storage bins. These provide options for securing loads of various sizes and shapes, enhancing the overall usability of the vehicle.

What Are the Differences Between Years?

The second generation of the Nissan Titan was introduced for the 2016 model year.

2015: Removed long-wheelbase, several equipment packages changed.

2016: Fully redesigned for the second generation with new styling, technology, and engine choices.

2017: Minor changes from the redesign with a slightly nicer interior.

2018: Titan King Cab added to the lineup with a longer bed and extended cabin.

2019: New 7-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, Fender stereo system, along with a rear door alert.

2020: More powerful V8 engine, new nine-speed automatic transmission, more driver aids.

2021: No changes from earlier years but a slight price increase.

How Does the Nissan Titan Compare to the Competition?

The 2017 Nissan Titan is a nice full size truck for shoppers on a budget, although it’s not as capable or dependable as some of the other options out there, that said, if you just need a truck to haul materials, it’s a good choice.

The Toyota Tundra is another large truck which is available for around $5,000 more. Long-term reliability ratings are better on the Toyota Tundra, while the Nissan Titan has a more comfortable cabin. We recommend the Toyota Tundra since it’s more capable and has fewer problems as it gets older.

The Ford F-150 is a competitor which is available for around $4,500 more. The towing capacity is higher on the Ford F-150, while the Nissan Titan has a slightly smoother suspension on rough roads. We recommend the Ford F-150 since it’s a longer-lasting truck, although the Titan is a reasonable choice if you’re looking to spend less.

Do Owners Recommend the Nissan Titan?

John D

Yes this vehicle is the one I trust the most. It comes with electronic adjustable seating in front, has a storage compartment under the back seat and a fold away rear floor for use when a flat surface is needed. There is and inverter in the truck that allows one to plug in 120 volt tools in the bed. The seats in front have heaters to warm you in cold weather. The vehicle has anti skid warning. And many features that make it the most comfortable riding truck I have ever owned.

vanessa l

Yes it is for me I like it as soon as I saw it I said to myself this is it. And then I saw the features and I was sold right on the spot.

Barbara G

It is an excellent vehicle. Gives a smooth ride and has lots of great amenities, like cupholders, it links, etc.

John D on March 24, 2021

I like the controls being right at hand.

My titan gives me the smooth ride and has all the power I require. The truck has a v8 power plant and has 7 gears forward. The color is coffee bean, there is plenty of room the 4 door crew cab is most advantages for load up the kids. The seats are leather and very comfortable. There is storage under the back seat and a lid that folds out to allow shorter legs to touch the floor. The bed has plenty of room for hauling and the tailgate locks. Rear view mirrors adjust from inside the cab, power windows and a window locking feature that locks all the drivers window. Gear shift is column mounted with phone and volume controls. This truck in my opinion is the best Nissan has produced.

Doug K. on March 15, 2021

Avoid this truck & Nissan

Donna D on March 4, 2021

It's Mine, hands off!!! Nissan ate good vehicles and dependable

Very nice truck. Not a good turning radius. Hard to park at times. Nice get up and go.

Dale B on February 22, 2021

Overall great with one issue.

The 2017 titan is known for electrical issues. My windows haven't worked in about a year. I have tried troubleshooting myself and haven't been able to find the cause of the issue. It is been a major inconvenience, being that I have a daily need to use my windows. Other than that, I love my truck.

Nissan O on February 18, 2021

Cool navigation system. Filtered air system. Spacious interiors.

The performance of the car is absolutely amazing, as well as comfort. A very smooth ride. The only thing that I find it a hassle is that it is huge and it also gobbles lots of gas. That is the downside of the vehicle. It has a lot of cool features like built in navigation, filter system for air which to me is very cool. It is very spacious inside. Overall I like my ride.

Adam B on February 11, 2021

I like the fact that my truck is a base model; less to go wrong.

I like my truck. It has plenty of power and can do anything I need it to. I like it's acceleration. It is faster than most cars. I can babysit and get pretty good gas mileage on the highway as well. There are only a few things that I wish it had: towing package, tonneau cover, and bed liner. Other than that it is more than I need.

James S on January 28, 2021

Nissan titan xd diesel: cons do not outweigh the pros.

I bought this vehicle as a diesel option to pull a camper. For this purpose, it did very well at towing a 6,000 lb camper. However for the other 90% of the time you are not pulling a large trailer, this is not the best option as a daily driver. The gas mileage for around town averaged around 14/15 mpg and didn't get much better on the interstate only increasing to 15/16 mpg. I went with the smaller 5.0 liter in hopes it would get decent gas mileage, however have come to find that there are larger motor options on the market that are getting better fuel mileage and have more power. I am not sure if it is a common thing for all turbo diesels, but the Nissan titan xd suffers severely from turbo lag. I have had many occasions where I would pull out into traffic and it would become quite scary when I wouldn’t get the instant throttle response that you would be expecting. This truck also has a process that burns off the fuel residue that is produced from the diesel exhaust fluid. When this process occurs, it knocks your gas mileage down to around 5 mpg for at least 10-15 miles. The routine maintenance for this vehicle is a little more than I was used too. That added cost of routine fuel filter changes was about $150 more than just your typical standard oil change would cost. Although there are a few flaws with the vehicle, I have enjoyed it as my first diesel truck that I have owned. There are several positive aspects to this truck. It is an overall very smooth ride compared to other 3/4 and 1 ton trucks I have rode in. This truck is considered to be a heavy 1/2 ton pickup which made it a little lighter but had more substantial chassis to handle pulling and stopping a large trailer.

Carlos N on January 12, 2021

The seats, low cost and how reliable it is.

The car works fine. I have seen many great cars and even though it may not be that great for the price it is as good as a limousine in my opinion. This is a great car and their are not any problems that I am aware of. I find that it is extremely reliable and also extremely comfortable.

Eric W on January 10, 2021

Great truck for getting around town or for traveling across country.

I love this truck. It has enough power to get me where I'm going. It has enough features for me. It handles smoothly. The push button start is a great feature. I've traveled across country with three other adults and our luggage with more than enough room.

Great truck with good features.

Great truck overall. Has excellent gas mileage for a full size. Good towing ability, nice comfort level. I appreciate the large display screen on the center dash. Backup camera is clear. I would definitely recommend this truck to anyone looking for something new.

JOHHN D on November 25, 2020

The bed comes with tie downs built in and adjustable.

I have a crew cab model which allows me to 3 additional passengers. The engine is a. V8 with 7 forward gears. The truck is set up for towing, it has surround view cameras. The drive is smooth like a car. Leather seats and the front seats are heated. This truck is the best vehicle I have ever owned.

Greg B on October 19, 2020

Titan is a great truck for the money.

Overall pleased with the truck. Great power and plenty of room. Can accommodate 5 passengers comfortably and up to 6 passengers. Drove on a 10 hour road trip with no issues. Used for towing a trailer several times with great success. Would recommend the titan. Great truck for the money.

Aubrey Y on October 15, 2020

Has great towing ability to pull RV and or horse trailer.

Wonderful vehicle. Has comfortable seating for 6 people. Back seats fold up completely to give plenty of space to haul items in the cab. Plenty of room in the bed of the truck to haul anything you want. I pull our 31ft RV with it, no problem. The gas mileage is reasonable for a truck of its size.

Glenn D on October 14, 2020

I have never had any problem with my vehicle and it is fully loaded.

My vehicle rides real smooth. It has alot of safety features. It don't get very good gas mileage.

A great safe truck

This is my second Nissan Titan and I love it. My 2010 had 56,000 miles on it before it got totaled. My family walked away without a scratch after being hit but about 60 miles per hour me being dead stop on the freeway. My second 2017 SV 4x4 drives like a drives like a dream. I have had no issues with both trucks and I have driving it in some rough areas. The only issue with the Titan is the fuel economy. I recommend this truck to anyone.

Great truck, good price and nice looking.

Great truck, has been very reliable, problems has been tire and battery needed to be replaced within 2 years, other then that I have had very little problems, I would tell everyone that if they want a great truck the new body style titan is a great truck to buy.

Nice truck but...

What an amazing ride this vehicle has!

I love the truck. It has lots of room in the back seat for my grown kids. The ride is very smooth. The tow assistant was a great help towing a boat from Texas to Oklahoma. The heat and air work great. The bed of the truck is big enough to haul what we need.

It is comfortable for road trips and has tons of room in the backseat.

I love the look and feel of the truck. It fun to drive and comfortable to ride in. I don't love the gas mileage. It gets decent gas mileage for a big diesel truck but I wish it was better.

Powerful and roomy. I love my truck.

Reliable truck. Great performance and plenty of options. Very roomy as well. I love this truck really has a plush interior v8 performance Bluetooth backup camera this truck will pass everything but a gas station. Now anywhere I go this vehicle is my first choice to drive comfortable very good ride spacious comfortable.

The versatile nissan titan sv.

My 2017 nissan titan sv is an upgrade from my former truck the nissan frontier. It has a full size cab with plenty of room for my whole family including a dog. I have been very impressed with its capabilities- I easily towed a 25’ airstream camper off some remote land in a foot of snow. I had no problems off roading in the mountains getting to some remote hiking and fishing. I use my truck for my small landscaping business and have been pleased with the capacity of the bed for hauling materials. My family and I enjoy taking the truck for weekend adventures in the mountains because of the space and comfort it provides as well as the versatility it provides. I love the push button start and the fact that I can not lock the keys in the truck.

Spacious interior and great hauling capabilities!!!

I love the hauling capabilities and cab space along with the interior design.y I don't like the fact that the rear door fails to open. I have to go get it repaired.

It is a beautiful and dependable piece of machinery.

I love my Nissan Titan Platinum Reserve. It has all the bells and whistles I could want, and it has plenty of power when I need it. I have almost 20000 miles on it and have not had any problems with it.

Julien L on July 14, 2020

Love My Titan XD for it's 12K towing power and huge cabin space for traveling.

Haven't had any problems so far. However I do not like that the rainwater sits in the cargo area because the drain holes frequently clog. Also don't like that the horn stopped honking when I lock vehicle with key fob for a few days and then went back to normal and hasn't malfunctioned again since.

This is great vehicle! It has lots of room!

This is a great vehicle. I absolutely love 4 wheel drive get me and my family around great in the winter time. It is also very roomy lots of legroom in the back seat. I currently have 2 car seats in the back and still have quite a bit of room for a third person in the backseat. This truck runs very smooth for a truck.

Juan W on July 2, 2020

Has a great one hundred thousand mile warranty

Rides well not to stiff for a pickup. Plenty of power for pulling a load.

Derrick S on June 27, 2020

Best truck to own pro 4x titan.

Best truck I've ever driven. Features are top notch. I love the cooled seats and blind spot indicators. The towing and load capabilities is extraordinary. Parts can be expensive, and technicians hard to find but don't worry, I haven't had a single issue related to the truck design itself.

David M on June 17, 2020

Driving is easy when you get the hang of a big truck.

Nice size pickup for 5 full size passages. Comfortable ride for 5-6 riders for distance trips. Good gas mileage for full side truck even in city driving.

Jason Choboter on June 1, 2020

The truck is a blast to drive

Several safety devices from airbags, lane change, cameras and sensors

A little difficult to park because it is wide no other complaints at all

Nissan titan platinum reserve, comforts.

My truck has been amazing in outdoor mountain terrain. It tows very well and is very capable of being able to do everything it needs to do on the highway. It is gas mileage is amazing and it is spacious and seats 5 people very comfortably. The heated seats, and steering wheel is a nice comfort for living in cold weather. The cooled front seats are also very nice in the warm weather months!!

Nathan F on May 5, 2020

My car takes me everywhere.

The Sentra is a nice car. The interior is really nice, I like the stitching and colors. My car specifically has Audio Bluetooth but not music Bluetooth so that is a con. It drives very well and I can't complain about that. The tank is about 5 gallons smaller than my last car and has the same mpg so I do have to fill up more but that's okay too. Overall pleased with it.

Jasmine Z on April 23, 2020

Nissan titan sl is a good choice.

Frank A on April 23, 2020

The truck is huge and it has run of storage in the issue and spacious too boot. Space is the most important detail to me. The bigger the space the better the vehicle

The truck all around is a reliable and affordable truck. The only thing I do not like about Nissan is there software in their radio. Most vehicle come with apple play or google play app for your phone. Nissan had outdated software in theirs.

Nathan m on April 23, 2020

2017 titan sv 4x4 problems

Patrick L on April 7, 2020

It is a push to start so it is not as easily stolen as a key start.

I really like my vehicle. It is easy to drive and rides nice. Nothing that I really dislike.

Richard P on April 3, 2020

Nissan 4 wheel drive titan

I like the towing capacity it allows me to do anything I want with the 4 wheel drive. I did have a small problem with a sensor going out but the dealer replaced it under warranty with no problem

Chris A on March 22, 2020

Awesome truck. Must buy Nissan.

I bought a 2017 Nissan titan platinum pro 4x. Paul metallic white. 6 in lift. Loaded with extras. Awesome Rockford fosgate sound system with a sub under seat. Totally the best truck I have ever owned, driven or even seen on the road. I would recommend Nissan to every truck person out there.

Renee W on March 13, 2020

Titan strong and reliable,

This is our 3rd Nissan vehicle and we have owned fords, Chevys and Mazda in the past. I must say that I have never enjoyed a vehicle more than our Nissans. The titan xd is very fuel efficient and heavy duty. The seating is very comfortable with more than ample head and leg room. The leg room in the back seat is more than I have seen in Dodges and fords.

Ed Mendoza on February 27, 2020

My bet is on reliability!

I've owned my 2017 Titan S for a month. Used @ $21k financed with 51k miles. It is a work truck used as a landscape vehicle hauling trailers. I bought it because it's still under warranty and Great Service record originally bought new and used at same dealer whom also serviced it. It has 32" LT mud tires, gas millage Sucks! Overall battle tested and I approve!

Steven R on February 10, 2020

Gas mileage is terrible in my truck.

It is not great on gas. It had black interior. Can see all dirt on black paint
