The Nissan Patrol was sold in USA for a few years in the 1960s. Later models were imported by individuals who were willing to pay to have the truck modified to meet the applicable safety and emissions standards. So you can find a few examples on American roads.
The number of Patrol enthusiasts in USA is much smaller than the community supporting, say, Land Rover Defender or Mercedes Gelandewagen, two similar vehicles that were not officially sold in USA for many years. So you'll have greater difficulty with parts and service.

One of mine....an 83 from Germany with the SD33 diesel. Well, it has broken down on the trail a bunch of times. Everytime it was air in the fuel system since I have been working on that. So I just pump the hand primer on the injection pump and back on the trail!
Oh, the 24v alternator went down a few years ago so I replaced it with a new one. The stock alt lasted 330,000ks! Clutch slave also failed at 330,000ks.
Otherwise I have had no problems with a 28yr old Patrol!
