Nissan going big in USA
Nissan is going big in the USA where it plans to some large pickups in the market. One vehicle especially, the Titan Warrior concept, is very impressive.
NISSAN has big plans for its US market.
Apart from the Titan XD pickup which it is going to enter into the North American market, the automaker also showed off the Titan Warrior pickup concept at the Detroit Auto Show.
The Titan Warrior is a real beast and might just make large tracks among America’s best high-performance trucks.
Rich Miller, senior manager of Nissan truck and SUV product planning, described the Warrior concept as ‘more than a design exercise’.
‘We’re making a big commitment to the pickup segment with the new Titan, and we’re also looking at where else we might take it.’
The Warrior Concept is a true road beast, sporting 18-inch wheels wrapped in 37-inch tyres on a chassis that has been widened by 6-inches, carbon-fibre exterior bits and pieces, a raised suspension (following the same basic recipe made known by the Ford F150 Raptor), and even a raised instrument panel with special engine gauges – which could indicate a heft oomph in power, as Miller continued:
‘If we were to go ahead with it, we would also have to look at an engine enhancement for it.’
Interesting point of view, especially as the concept was powered by the 5.0-lirtr Cummins diesel V8.
