version of the 4W66 was called the Carrier, from 1956 to 1959. 4W70 series The Nissan 4W70 Carrier was introduced in 1950 based on the Dodge M37. The 4W70 used the M37's chassis, but the 4W60 Patrol's drivetrain. The grille was narrower and the front fenders changed. The 4W72 was introduced in 1955 (the 4W71 designation was skipped) with changes to the hood, grille, and headlights. Power increased to 105 hp due to the new Nissan NC engine. Modifications again to the hood, fenders, and grille and an increase in power to led to the 4W73, introduced in 1959 and powered by the Nissan P engine. Second generation (60; 1959–1980) The soft-top Nissan Patrol 60 (two-door; wheelbase) and G60 (two-door; wheelbase) were first sold in Australia in 1960. Left-hand drive L60/GL60 models were sold outside of Australia. Canadian and American customers could get Patrols only from 1962 until 1969.

With two doors in front and one at the back and four seats (driver and companion in front, two parallel back seats), the extra-long wheelbase version (the H60) was available with eight-passenger capacity.
