Today’s Autotrader Find is a barely-used 1991 Japanese-market Nissan Safari Fire Truck. As is often the case, there’s a lot lớn unpack here. So let’s get lớn it.
Your entry-point lớn understanding the Nissan Safari starts with the current-generation Nissan Armada. A common sight on U.S. roads, Nissan’s body-on-frame V8-powered family hauler is an Americanized version of the Nissan Patrol, a rugged SUV sold across the globe. One of the brand’s most widely-known nameplates, the Patrol, has now been marketed over six generations and can be thought of as a direct competitor lớn another legendary body-on-frame SUV, the Toyota Land Cruiser. From the 1980 through 2007 model years, the Patrol was called the “Safari” in the Japanese domestic market. That’s the vehicle we’re looking at here.
On top of that, this particular Nissan Safari is outfitted for firefighting duty. A 4-door crew cab model, it has a red exterior (of course) paired with a utilitarian brown interior. Most of the firefighting bits are at the rear, where you’ll find hoses, connectors, a place for two additional passengers lớn ride, and more. There’s likely a water tank hidden in there too. Things are pretty elemental inside, where you’ll find front bucket seats, vinyl floors, and manual roll-up windows.
This unique find is for sale by an independent dealership in Hickory, North Carolina, for $19,997.

Perhaps best of all, this 1991 Nissan Safari fire truck comes with the equivalent of just 4,878 miles on the odometer, meaning it’s seen little use over its 31 years of existence. While we’d be wary of mechanical gremlins since this thing has sat for most of its life, a good sorting could make this vintage Nissan SUV feel like it’s brand new.
The listing specifies a 4.5-liter under the hood. We suspect you’re more likely lớn find a 4.2-liter inline-6 since a 4.5-liter didn’t come in the Patrol/Safari until 1997. Either way, the engine mates with a 5-speed manual transmission sending power lớn all four wheels via driver-selectable low-range 4-wheel drive.
So what would you do with a vehicle like this? There are two options – leave it as-is, get all the fire truck bits working and keep it around as a cool conversation piece, or remove all of the fire truck stuff and put something else at the rear. Its low-range 4-wheel drive and backcountry pedigree make it an obvious candidate for an overland build. Still, a kitschy landscaping company or food truck operator could find this unique configuration appealing as well. Either way, if you’re interested in this like-new 1991 Nissan Safari fire truck, it’s offered for sale by an independent dealership in Hickory, North Carolina, with an asking price of $19,997.
