Nissan Armada ‘Mountain Patrol’ social media-built project vehicle debuts at Overland Expo WEST this weekend

  • Nissan truck enthusiasts help guide modifications and equipment specs in creating the Armada Mountain Patrol1 – the ultimate overlanding family adventure full-size SUV
  • Using the rugged and capable stock Nissan Armada as a canvas, the Mountain Patrol project vehicle reflects social media users' preferences for body-wrap design, tire specs, roof-mounted tent1 and more
  • Modifications include suspension and exhaust systems, vehicle protection, lighting, storage and auxiliary "recovery" systems
  • Armada Mountain Patrol marks second consecutive Nissan overlanding project vehicle debut at Overland Expo WEST, the world's premier overlanding event

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. – For the second year in a row, Nissan is laying down big tire tracks at Overland Expo WEST with the debut of a special overlanding-equipped project vehicle – this time, the Nissan Armada Mountain Patrol1. And, once again, Nissan has called on social media followers on @NissanUSATrucks Instagram and Facebook pages to help guide construction of the one-off project.

The Armada Mountain Patrol will be on display at Overland Expo WEST, May 18-20 at Fort Tuthill County Park in Flagstaff, Ariz. Following its public debut, the Armada Mountain Patrol project vehicle will take the road less traveled to various media and outdoor events through the remainder of the year.

The specially modified eight-passenger Armada full-size SUV follows last year's Nissan TITAN pickup-based Project Basecamp, which was one of the featured vehicles at the 2017 Overland Expo WEST.

"For those family adventure fans who aren't familiar with the term 'overlanding', all they need to do is look at the Armada Mountain Patrol to understand that this is not glamping, not a day trip to the local forest – it's adventure taken to new heights," said Brandon White, director, Chief Marketing Manager, Nissan North America, Inc. "The Nissan Armada, with its rugged platform, best-in-class2 390-horsepower 5.6-liter V8 engine, 8,500-lb. towing capacity3 and massive interior and cargo space1, is an ideal starting place to build an authentic overlanding vehicle."
