Following the introduction of the two Navara-based Warriors, Premcar has now expanded the offering to include the Nissan Patrol. Their proposal is called the Patrol Warrior and brings numerous enhancements on the outside, in the cabin, and beneath the skin.
Based on the Ti version of the Nissan Patrol, the new model is available in four exterior paint finishes. These are called Black Obsidian, Gun Metallic, Brilliant Silver, and Moonstone White. It features a new bumper assembly up front, fender flares in black, a bespoke towbar with two recovery points at the rear, black accents on the grille and side mirror caps, and exclusive badging and decals.

Inside, customers will have to settle for black, which is the dominating hue. It comes with Alcantara inserts, high-gloss black trim elements, and additional Warrior branding. The Bose premium audio, second-row entertainment system, heated and cooled front seats with memory setting on the driver's side that also includes the steering column position and the side mirrors, a sunroof, electric tailgate, and others carry over from the factory.

Compared to the Ti, the Nissan Patrol Warrior by Premcar rides 50 mm (2 in) higher. It has 40 mm (1.6 in) wider tracks, a 40-degree approach angle, a 23.3-degree departure angle, new front springs, different multi-rate rear springs, a stainless steel exhaust system with side tips, and re-engineered Hydraulic Body Motion Control. The 18-inch alloys were wrapped in 295/70 all-terrain tires made by Yokohama, which aid traction on slippery and/or sticky surfaces.

Power still comes from the same engine found under the hood of the stock Patrol Ti. It is a 5.6-liter V8 that develops 298 kW (405 ps/399 hp) at 5,800 rpm. Rated at 560 Nm (413 lb-ft), the torque is available at 4,000 rpm. The seven-speed automatic transmission delivers everything to the four-wheel drive system. Stuff such as the hill start assist, hill descent control, off-road monitor, front and rear parking sensors, tire pressure monitoring system, intelligent emergency braking, intelligent forward collision warning, lane intervention, lane departure warning, blind spot warning, adaptive cruise control, and others are on deck.

Retaining the stock SUV's seven-seat capacity and promising improved off-roading, the Patrol Warrior by Premcar was developed in Australia for the local market. The tuner is currently accepting orders, stating that it will set you back AU$101,160, equaling US$65,426 at today's exchange rates. This is the official recommended retail price and does not include the premium paint finish and on-road costs.

The modified truck is not that expensive compared to the stock variant, which is offered from AU$84,900 (US$54,910) Down Under. The higher spec Patrol Ti-L has a recommended retail price of AU$97,600 (US$63,124), and these are the only trim levels of the Nissan Patrol on sale locally.
