With The Titan Gone, Should Nissan Make A 2025 Armada Pickup?

Nissan recently unveiled the 2025 Patrol, along with its US twin, the all-new Armada, injecting fresh life into the full-size SUV market. Sensing an opportunity, digital artist Theottle stepped in with his rendering of a full-size pickup that could theoretically replace the soon-to-be-phased-out Titan.

var adpushup = window.adpushup = window.adpushup || {que:[]};
adpushup.que.push(function() {
if (adpushup.config.platform !== “DESKTOP”){
adpushup.triggerAd(“4d84e4c9-9937-4f84-82c0-c94544ee6f2a”);
}
else{

adpushup.triggerAd(“6a782b01-facb-45f3-a88f-ddf1b1f97657”);
} });

The illustrations cleverly maintain the new Armada’s design cues while stretching the proportions just enough to mimic the Titan’s stance. The artist elongated the greenhouse and extended both the wheelbase and rear overhang, resulting in a dual-cab setup with a generously sized bed in the back.

The PRO-4X version of the 2025 Armada served as the foundation for this fictional truck. The front fascia remains untouched, but the rear required a more creative overhaul to fulfill its pickup duties. The designer opted for flatter taillights, ditching the SUV’s full-width LED strip, and simplified the rear bumper while adding a larger, more functional tailgate.

window._taboola = window._taboola || [];
_taboola.push({
mode: ‘thumbnails-a-mid’,
container: ‘taboola-mid-article’,
placement: ‘Mid Article’,
target_type: ‘mix’
});

_taboola.push({

container: ‘taboola-mid-article-thumbnails-organic’,
placement: ‘Mid Article Thumbnails Organic’,
target_type: ‘mix’
});

Mechanically, the pickup could ride on a stretched version of the Armada’s ladder-frame chassis, powered by the same twin-turbo 3.5-liter V6. This gasoline unit churns out a satisfying 425 hp (317 kW / 431 PS) and 516 lb-ft (699 Nm) of peak torque. It’s not far-fetched, given that the aging Titan shares its bones with the previous-generation Armada.

Nissan has confirmed that the Titan will be discontinued after the 2024 model year without a planned successor. This effectively signals the end of Nissan’s run in the full-size pickup wars, leaving the Ford F-150, Chevy Silverado, GMC Sierra, Ram 1500, and Toyota Tundra to duke it out.

Still, we can’t help but wonder: would Nissan have fared better in the pickup market if the Titan had looked more like the new Armada? Sadly, unless the automaker pulls a sudden U-turn, we’ll never know. But hey, hope springs eternal—especially in the auto world.
