Information on repair and maintenance of Nissan Patrol cars electronically

The Nissan Patrol is available as a two-door, five-door or pickup truck. Various versions of the Patrol are widely used by various UN agencies. The car is famous for its power and durability.

The Nissan Patrol was produced exclusively with leaf springs until the 1980s, until the Y60 arrived in 1988, which featured coil springs for the first time. Almost all generations that were still designed as classic SUVs were available in different wheelbases.

Until the model change in 2010, it was traditionally produced as a classic SUV with a ladder frame, rigid axles and switchable all-wheel drive. With the transition to the Y62, the series was redesigned and the vehicle type changed to an SUV, which was reflected in the introduction of modern construction methods with a self-supporting body and independent wheel suspension.

Nissan Patrol is the first Japanese SUV in history. It was born in 1951 as a military vehicle with the project name 4w60 and with the intention of creating a rugged and reliable vehicle that could patrol the coasts and rugged hinterlands of Japan. Hence the name Patrol, which means patrol in English.

It was originally an SUV with a 6-cylinder 3700 cm³ petrol engine with 85 hp, which was replaced in 1956 by a 4000 cc petrol engine with 125 hp. The rear rod was used, the front plug-in.

The 4W61 was introduced in August 1955, it was similar to the 4W60 except for the grille (with some chrome strips), the one-piece windshield set back and folded down, chrome trim on the hood, and different sized seats. In October 1958, the 4W61 was discontinued and replaced by the 4W65.

By the end of 1959, the military version, produced in various versions (patrol, ambulance, fire brigade, mobile railway workshop), was followed by a version for civilian use.

In 2010, the current, sixth generation Nissan Patrol, known as the Y62, was introduced. This SUV has become more modern, spacious and offers a wide range of technological options.

With the release of the sixth generation Nissan Patrol, Nissan broke with the series' previous tradition. The new Nissan Patrol is no longer a classic SUV, but was designed as a luxury SUV. In North America, this generation has been sold as the Nissan Armada since 2016.

It is powered by a 5.6 liter V8 petrol engine with 298 kW (405 hp) and a maximum torque of 560 Nm, the diesel engine is no longer available. 7-speed automatic transmission is the only transmission option.
