The Nissan Patrol Pickup or bakkie is designed to conquer the countryside and with our Intelligent Choice promise, you know that this tough truck is ready for more.
The Patrol’s toughness and reliability make them popular farm, touring and work beasts, so if you see one you like grab it before it is gone from our showroom floors in Stellenbosch, Kuils River or Uitenhage. The Nissan Patrol Pickup, with its rich legacy within Nissan pickup history, regrettably saw its discontinuation in South Africa in 2016, further enhancing its desirability among enthusiasts.
If you can’t find a Nissan Patrol, why not consider a just as hardworking used Nissan Navara from Group1 Nissan? Even after its discontinuation in 2016, the Nissan Patrol pickup is still highly regarded in the used car market for its durability and off-road prowess. The rugged bakkies have a rich history and have been popular in several markets. Here is a run-down of how the Nissan Patrol bakkies continued to evolve through subsequent generations throughout history.
Nissan Patrol Pickup Range History
Fifth Generation 1997 – 2016

|
Fifth generation models first appeared in 1997. It featured advanced off-road capabilities, including solid front and rear axles, and a strong chassis, making it a favourite among off-road enthusiasts and professionals. The Nissan patrol was not only popular in South Africa but also in many other parts of the world, particularly in the Middle East and Australia, where it was known for its toughness and versatility.
Throughout its production, Nissan released several special editions and upgrades of the models, including the “Patrol Super Safari,” which featured enhanced features and design elements. As of 2014, Nissan discontinued the fifth generation model worldwide, except for a few markets including South Africa. It was later discontinued in 2016 in SA. |
Fourth Generation The Y60 series (1987–1997)

The fourth generation brought advanced features like coil-spring suspension for improved comfort and off-road handling. The Y60 pickup, available with engines such as the 4.2 L TB42S/TB42E I6 and the 4.2 L TD42 I6 diesel, earned a reputation for robustness and reliability. It became a favourite for both commercial and off-road use, offered in various body styles, including 2-door and 4-door configurations. |
Third Generation (1980–1989)

The third-generation (The 160 Series) represented the official introduction of the Patrol into the South African market, with a pick-up version and a long wheelbase wagon featuring horizontally split tail gates. Nissan marketed the 160 Series and later models as the ‘Safari’ in some markets such as Japan and South Africa, and as the Patrol in others. |
Second Generation Nissan Patrol G60 Series (1960 – 1980)
|
The G60 series is part of the second generation of Nissan Patrols and included a rugged pickup version. It featured a 4.0 L P engine, a four-speed manual transmission, and a two-speed transfer case. The G60 was available in various configurations, including a 2-door pickup, and was renowned for its durability and off-road capability. The pickup represented a significant evolution in the Nissan Patrol lineup, introducing a more modern design and improved mechanical features. |
Nissan Patrol 4W60 Series (1951 – 1960)

The 4W60 series was the first generation of the Nissan Patrol, introduced in 1951. This model was heavily inspired by the American Willys Jeep and was primarily designed as a military and utility vehicle. |
