Though the concept truck is not destined for mainstream retail, Nissan North America executive vice president José Muñoz offered some hints for would-be buyers. If put into production, this machine could pose a threat to trucks like the forthcoming Ford Raptor and the strong-armed Toyota Tundra TRD-Pro. An 11.2:1 compression ratio is provided by a new piston design, aiding overall engine efficiency and performance (previous Titan: 9.8:1) and a Multi Control Valve (MCV) assists in managing the engine’s thermal efficiency better than a traditional thermostat.
Indeed, the passenger cabin is quite avant-garde, yet includes robust elements like beefy toggle switches on the centre stack, and a steering wheel that appears to be milled from a single block of aluminum.
Beyond the looks, the Warrior Concept boasts the standard Titan XD’s Cummins V8, a six-speed Aisin automatic transmission, a brand new suspension setup, and a slew of other enhancements aimed at high-speed off-road thrills. Sprayed in a custom matte-gunmetal paint that referred to as “Thunder” and accented in that same Magma orange color you find on the inside, the color scheme is a subtle yet imposingly robotic blend that’s far from obnoxious.
In all respects, the Nissan Titan Warrior Concept is Nissan’s attempt at gauging public reaction to a Nissan Raptor/RAM Rebel competitor, and from the photos released, Nissan definitely have us on board with this awesome looking truck.
We will bring you all the details on the Titan Warrior concept from the show tomorrow.

Build this Raptor fighter, Nissan. Highlighting this rugged body are various aerodynamic buts, including a carbon-fiber rear cab spoiler and tailgate spoiler. It also has ball joints and racing-style coil-over shocks equipped with tie-rod extensions and custom reservoir mounts. Out back, this custom rig has the same internal-bypass shocks, adjusted-length axles, and a custom sway bar.
