the good - its not a toyota
the bad - nissan dont really give a shit after you by the car. if you get a good one your fine, if you get a lemon you will come to hate nissan australia as all you will ever here the dealer say is, we will have to ask nissan australia
Hang on, when i was looking to buy i went to toyota to compare the hilux and all i got from the sales rep was a brochure and he walked away, i said hang on i want to know a bit about the car, he said 'what you want to know' i said towing capacity he said 1800kg i say thats shit the nav tows 3t he says why do you need more i say because i tow my race car he then says to me anything else you need to know is in that brochureand walked away, literally that all happened in 2 mins.
Wasnt going to buy a TOYota anyway.
Is Newcastle the only place in the country with decent car yards?
Negs- No off idle torque, gearing to tall, DPF causes problems to some, LSD is useless, ride height too low, limited front suspension travel, no stability control or side air bags, tailgate doesn't seal, petrol cap requires key, no room for dual batteries, steering rack bushes wear quickly, no decent cup holders, stupid wheel stud pattern, stereo is crap, speakers are crap, seatbelts don't retract very well, headlights are crap, speedo isn't correct.

KingCab - You forgot to add thin panels, rubbish plastic side steps and dreadful fuel economy in the auto diesel. BUT I still love my D40 and having spent a little bit of cash on aftermarket gear it now goes just about anywhere and I get a thrill out of keeping up with the 100 series and GUs.
Would I buy one again? Absolutely because they are significantly cheaper than a HiLux and like others I got the run around from the local Toyota dealer when I was comparing vehicles.
Buy a 2.5TD Navara again? no way, but if it had the Titan engine then I could be persuaded.
