1962 brought Nissan’s first utility vehicle, the Patrol. With it’s 4000cc 6-cylinder 145hp engine, it was believed to be the worlds most powerful and most advanced 4x4 to date.

The 1970’s found Nissan winning a number of championship races with the Datsun 510 resulting in a higher demand of vehicles from the public. In 1973 the one-millionth Datsun vehicle was sold in America and by 1975 Datsun became the top U.S. vehicle importer and in 1977 the first extended cab pick-up was introduced, the Nissan King-cab.

The King-cab was to be the source of victory from 1982-1992 for Nissan, winning 19 championships in the off-road truck racing with its 380hp mid-engine permanent 4WD desert racer with fully independent suspension.

In 1983 the Datsun name was dropped and the name Nissan became the new marketing tool. Now a very well known brand for producing all types of vehicles, Nissan continue to exceed their consumers expectations.
