What should I be on the look out for when looking at this truck? Also what kind of issues is this truck known for?
Finally! Someone that understsnds!I wouldn't walk away from a 17-19 XD Diesel. They fit the need of many, including myself. It's not a 3/4 ton truck so I don't understand why everyone says get a true 3/4 ton truck. It's technically just a really good heavy duty 1/2 ton that Nissan marketed as a 5/8 ton truck. I didn't need a true 3/4 ton pickup, and all the 1500 trucks I drove I really wasn't impressed.
My XD Diesel has been towing by 9000+lb travel trailer in and around Colorado flawlessly which is really what all I was wanting. There is a video of TFL truck on YouTube where they compare the Titan XD Diesel vs a F150 Ecoboost up I70, which they call the Ike Gauntlet. The F150 is much faster during the tow test but the Titan XD won their vote due to towing manners and I would have to agree. This thing tows like a dream, even with my lift.
Just get one that has a 5 year 100k warranty so that any issue that could arise will be covered. Also if you buy from CarMax like I did, their extended warranties on top of the factory warranty was pretty cheap. This was the 6th CarMax car my wife and I have purchased over the years and the extended warranty process was always simple and nothing was ever denied.
Were these people coming from older 3/4 ton diesel trucks? The new 3/4 tons easily match the XD in steering, handling, ride quality, and maneuverability.I haul my 8k lb camper up and down Alaskan mountain passes all summer and it never blinks. The diesel purrs up and down those passes. The comfort factor is exceptional. And we (and our neighbors) love how quiet it is and how there's no diesel stench. 2 of my friends sold their big-3 3/4 ton diesels and picked up an XD diesel after giving mine a try and a 3rd is in the process of doing that same.
If you don't need a full 3/4 ton truck, you're going to love that XD.
Along these lines lol.What should I be on the look out for when looking at this truck? Also what kind of issues is this truck known for?
