Nissan debuts Titan Warrior concept

In a market segment where each manufacturer attempts to 'out-tough' the rest, Nissan's bold new Titan Warrior is pure testosterone on wheels – 37-inch off-road wheels, to be precise.

The concept vehicle was recently unveiled at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit, and represents a significant styling progression from the base model Titan XD unveiled 12 months ago.

Powered by a Cummins 5.0-litre turbo-diesel V8 with enough torque to reverse time, the Titan Warrior wouldn't look too out of place reporting for duty on the front line, although the exceptional level of interior trim is certainly at odds with any military hardware.

The concept vehicle stands three inches taller and six inches wider than the standard Titan and features what Nissan describes as "custom matte-gunmetal paint" with orange and black highlights.

The Chairman of Nissan North America, José Muñoz, said the pick-up underlined Nissan's passion for the segment.

"While Nissan still has many roads and trails to travel as we continue to launch additional production versions of our bold new Titan, this new Titan Warrior Concept gives an important signal to American truck enthusiasts that our vision for exploring new boundaries remains strong," he said.
