Digital Trends reports on Nissan's latest vehicle project based on its Armada SUV. Its goal is to create an overlanding vehicle perfect for camping, or fleeing off-road, & Nissan is turning to social media for help. Dubbed the Nissan Armada Mountain Patrol, the tricked-out SUV will be designed with input from social media users. Through May 10, users can visit @NissanUSATrucks on Instagram and Facebook and vote on three categories of modifications — tire model, exterior vinyl wrap, and roof-mounted tent — using the hashtag #MountainPatrol. The finished vehicle will appear at the 2018 Overland Expo West in Flagstaff, Arizona, May 18-20.
The vehicle features lifted suspension, off-road wheels and tires, a roof-mounted tent, jerry cans, an exhaust snorkel, a tough-looking bull bar, front and rear winches and more. According to the article on Digital Trends, the name Mountain Patrol references the fact that the Armada is sold as the Nissan Patrol in other markets. While the current generation has only been sold in the United States since the 2017 model year, the Patrol has been sold in international markets for decades.
