New Hilux Review

Recommended Posts

What engine did you go for with the Navara? A lot of farmers around here (Suffolk) have them so they must be up for some decent work...

 

There's only one size option now - 2.3l. Mine is the twin turbo (I think it's 190hp).

The upcoming Merc pickup is based on the Navara and will apparently have a 3l V6 - that will be a good tool (but undoubtedly be horrendously expensive). If Nissan fit that to the Nav I'd seriously consider it.

I thought that the V6 was going to be introduced! Isn't one available in the Amorak?

 

GreenMech have two being changed this year so what do you guys recommend? Which has a good in built carphone, radio,cd player, sat nav etc? Which tows loads well? Which has decent service costs/intervals?

That's not the best of it - they gave me £16500 plus vat back for my 12 month old 65 plate 12000 mile old shape Navara in part exchange (all I'd done since I bought it was put fuel in it). They had sold it to me for £17500 plus vat!

Chorley Nissan - seriously good value there.

And the Nissan comes with a 5 year warranty. Just saying like...

Navarra sales pitch "We're GIVING THEM AWAY!"

2 of my mates got the new Navarras and love em.

 

BUT if you want a pit of poke try the new Amarok V6.

VW going against the current obsession for tiny engines!

 

plus their emissions are great...:laugh1:

 

Steve has one . ( Mr Bullman )

I test drove a few. The only one that would prise me away from my now very ageing Amazon was the amorok. But we tow 3.5 tonne lots and sometimes along way. 2.0 litre engine put me off. The truck was head and shoulders above the rest to drive and pulled like a train. With the new v6 engine it must be even better.

With your set up Steve, would it be worth switching into a swb 6.5t - 7.5t vehicle? Iveco 65c dropside for example. I've seen a few with auto and cruise control - would be a relatively comfy way to transport 3t on long journeys.
