Nissan will revive the Patrol nameplate in the U.S. for the first time since 1969 by renaming the Armada Pro-4X trim to the Armada Patrol Pro-4X for the 2027 model year. The Armada has been a rebadged version of the Patrol sold overseas since its second-generation launch in 2017. The move marks the Patrol's 75th anniversary, with production first starting in 1951.
The Armada Patrol Pro-4X wears a Patrol badge on the rear and Armada badging on the D-pillar. Inside, "Patrol" and "Since 1951" badges appear on the center console. New optional equipment includes NISMO rock sliders, a NISMO roof rack, and NISMO Axis wheels with BFGoodrich all-terrain tires.
The powertrain carries over unchanged. A twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter V-6 produces 425 horsepower sent to all four wheels. The vehicle retains an electronic locking rear differential, adaptive air suspension, and a metal underbody skid plate.
Production begins in November. Nissan will debut the Armada Patrol Pro-4X at the 2026 Los Angeles auto show later this month. Pricing starts at $81,265, up from $76,575 for last year's Pro-4X.
