2005 Nissan Patrol facelift, now with 5.6L V8

[Ungas]

Armada is released for US market only. Since Nissan doesn't have any vehicle to counter with large SUV category.

It is a completely different vehicle compared to Patrols. Independent suspension systems (front/rear), longer chassis and etc. While the Patrols were reliable with solid diffs on coil springs.

may nakita akong Armada sa autocamp sa pasig... 4.5 million ata.. mahal pero maganda..

Armada is based on the Titan platform, and as ungas said, is designed for the NA market. hence, no provisions for diesel engines, biased for on-road driving, and designed for maximum space and dimensions.

on the other hand, the Patrol is first and foremost a purpose-built off-roader designed for, say, the unpaved third world, much like the Land Cruiser series before the LC100.

beep beep...no offense ey...

Uh ngayon ko lang Open to thread about patrol..

Kahapon nag demo samin yung isang fleet contractor namin meron dala same Patrol posted here pero manula trany.... Ganda ng kaya lang looks like hindi pa approved samin..Lakas daw sa kunsumo ng FUEL... sayang sarap sana ihataw nyan..

[Ungas]

A gas guzzling TB48E: 180kW(245PS)*4,800rpm; 400Nm(40.8kgm)*3,600rpm!

New bigger tail lights and rear bumper design. Bigger fenders to accomodate larger tires. As most of Jap designers commonly do to cosmetic changes, they modified the grille, headlights and front bumpers too. Jap units still have the rear diff locker as standard. Guess what, these babies will still come with solid front differentials!



You'll need an interpreter to be able to understand all the new features.

This facelifted GU Patrol (GU V?) still soldiers on with the chassis that was introduced in 1998; hence, it still carries a live front axle and part-time four-wheel drive

mukhang 4.8L i-6 pa rin yung top gas engine, not the 5.6 V8 in the armada/titan.

as for the ZD30, they've upped the power and torque to 160 hp and 280 lb-ft (from 155 hp and 261 lb-ft). there are rumors of a coming 4.5L turbodiesel though (ZD45?)

plenty of pics of the 2005 patrol here:

eto ba yung katabi ng MC Home Depot sa Ortigas Ave?..Armada ba yun? Nissan Patrol kasi ang nakasulat sa windshield..

Astig nga siya!!!

[Ungas]

Many people assumed it was the next model of Patrols, pero nanaig pa rin sa mga hardcore offroaders ang solid front diffs. Puro pintas inabot sa Australians ng Armada, IFS kasi.

[mbt]

very very likely that the next-generation Patrol will have IFS.

facelift lang itong bagong patrol kaya carry-over yung pang-ilalim
