Next month’s Overland Expo West event in Flagstaff, Arizona will see the public début of the one-off Armada Mountain Patrol.

Nissan USA Trucks wants its Facebook and Instagram followers to help finalise the SUV’s specification. Between now and the 10th of May, they’re being asked to vote on a vinyl wrap design, the style of roof-mounted tent and the tyre type.
