Alongside the extreme Nissan Rogue Warrior Concept, Nissan also introduced its Titan Warrior Concept based on the all-new 2016 Titan XD full-size pick-up truck. Nissan has turned its production version Titan XD into an extreme and aggressive off-road machine.

"Truck buyers have a seemingly insatiable appetite for more content and more unique offerings. Even though our all-new 2016 Titan XD just started arriving at Nissan dealers nationwide last month, we are already exploring new territory where Titan might go into the future," said José Muñoz, chairman of Nissan North America.

In order to give the Titan Warrior Concept a more extreme and powerful presence, Nissan Design America (NDA) modified the Titan XD's dimensions. As a result, the concept truck is three inches higher and six inches wider. The change in height allowed NDA to equip the Titan Warrior Concept with 18-inch aluminum alloy wheels with massive 37-inch off-road tires.

In terms of design, the Titan Warrior Concept evokes the feeling of a modern warrior's armor. The truck comes in a matte gunmetal exterior paint with orange and black accents.

The front fascia features an enhanced grille, a muscular front fender, functional hood vents and a broad hood line to complement the large front skidplate. The truck also comes with custom LED lighting on the Nissan signature boomerang lights. At the rear, there are also LED taillights and a quad-tipped exhaust system.

Despite its massive size, the Titan Warrior Concept is still aerodynamic. It uses carbon fiber for the rear cab and tailgate spoilers.

Inside the truck, the cabin comes with a "chronograph" inspired design. The interior's styling also serves to complement the exterior's active design. The cabin features carbon-colored seats with orange accents. It also uses carbon fiber, chrome, leather and orange stitching for the interior trim and accents

According to Automotive News, Nissan is considering putting the Titan Warrior Concept into production. However, that may come to fruition at a much later date. Instead, truck enthusiasts can first look forward to the arrival of the 2016 Titan and Titan XD pick-up trucks arriving at dealers by early spring 2016.
