integrated into the rear bumper. Despite its menacing size that borders on being bulky, the Titan Warrior does offer some aerodynamic elements like a carbon-fiber rear cab spoiler and tailgate spoiler. The Warrior sports a custom matte-gunmetal paint scheme that Nissan dubs "Thunder," accented in a Magma orange with black highlights. The interior is just as performance oriented, at least visually, which was the idea of NDA. The seating is covered in a carbon-colored high-strength seat fabric that's trimmed in Magma orange. Carbon fiber, chrome finishes, and leather are used brilliantly throughout. Nissan assures those interested that they were not striving for a stripped-down pre-runner look, rather a nod to their new Titan XD with the Platinum Reserve package. The truck also features a custom-built steering wheel that was carved from a single block of aluminum, hot and cold drink containers, auxiliary toggle switches, and a battery of panel- mounted gauges that builds on its rough and ready demeanor. But chances are these goodies won't see the light of day as a production model. Where the TITAN Warrior Concept departs from its production counterpart is in its full custom suspension design. In the front, the standard suspension has been replaced with custom upper and lower control arm with performance ball joints, along with racing-style internal bypass reservoir coil-over shocks with custom reservoir mounts and tie-rod extensions. The rear suspension is just as performance driven and includes custom internal bypass reservoir shocks with custom mounts, adjusted-length prototype axles, anti-sway bar, and pressurized bump stops all around. 047 SCORE JOURNAL
