New Truck News | Nissan Australia Building Warrior to Take Down Raptors, 2022 Toyota Tundra Leaked and Ford F-150 Lightning Trim Pricing Info Leaked

Nissan Australia builds a Warrior that takes down Raptors

Will this inspire its American division?

Ram became the first company to fire back at Ford’s line of Raptor-branded trucks when it released the mighty 1500 TRX in 2020Nissan is the second. It’s leaving the F-150 alone and taking aim at the smaller, Ranger-based model sold overseas with a dune-hopping Navara built jointly by its Australian division and engineering firm Premcar.

Don’t be surprised if the Navara nameplate doesn’t ring a bell: Nissan has never sold the model in America. Overseas, the badge denotes a tough, go-anywhere truck that’s about the same size as our Frontier. Both trucks were very closely related until 2014, when the 10-year old model sold globally was replaced and our variant of the truck soldiered on — it’s still available in 2021. It’s the updated model Nissan is counting on to dethrone Ford.

Designed and built in Australia, the Warrior stands above the standard Navara with a specific front bumper that increases the approach angle, a beefy skid plate that protects the mechanical components, extra lighting, and what looks like a suspension lift. Nissan isn’t quite ready to reveal the full list of changes it made to the truck; its engineers are still working with Premcar’s to make the final round of tweaks, but it’s a build that looks promising.

Earlier Friday, multiple outlets shared a leaked image from among a batch that were posted on the Tundras.com forum. The most popular of the leaked images was this one, which appeared to depict a styling mock-up for the eventual TRD or TRD Pro variant, boasting punched-out fenders, black-finish wheels and all-terrain tires.

Ford F-150 Lightning full trim pricing info leaks online

The XLT and Lariat Premium Packages also are detailed

When Ford revealed the F-150 Lightning electric pickup, the automaker gave pricing only for the Pro work-truck commercial version ($39,974) and the base XLT ($52,974) — both before the $7,500 federal tax credit. Now, we have pricing information for the higher-spec models. Reportedly, it was contained in a survey email sent by Ford and uploaded to Reddit. Ford has said that the figures quoted in the survey don’t necessarily reflect final pricing. But even if that turns out to be true, we expect they won’t be far off.
