The Nissan Patrol’s been around in its current shape and form for quite a long time; 13 years in fact, if you stretch it to when the Y62 model designation was first introduced. During its tenure, it’s managed to outlive Nissan’s original commercial vehicle distributor (Universal Motors Corporation) and the addition, then deletion, and subsequent re-addition of its model suffix (Patrol Royale). Through all this and the three refreshes that followed, the flagship SUV merely existed. It seems Nissan was happy with the handful of sales it got.
