Don't even think about a Navara. Steve is one of the few people who've not had serious issues, but I had one some years back from brand new to 5 years old. It went into the garage 29 times in it's 3 year warranty period, and I couldn't get shot of the vehicle, as hard as I tried. Loads and loads of different issues.
 
The issue is that they aren't built for hard work. If you regularly go offroad or tow, they will let you down spectacularly. I knew three other chaps in Scotland (two farm managers and a farm/forestry contractor) who all had Navaras and all had major issues and got rid of them for that reason.

Sounds pretty damning. What year / model was it? D22?

D40, 2011. 

 

Faults I had included (but not limited to):

 

* Repeated engine management faults causing limp home mode to be engaged, effectively stranding me as each time I was with a trailer.

* Fuel pump, fuel rail and injectors replaced, with the rail being replaced at least three times.

* Wheel bearing replaced, transfer box bearings replaced, front prop shaft replaced.

* Master window control failed twice

* Heater matrix failure. 4 day job to replace

 

There were other things before but it was years ago and I can't remember. The other chaps had issues with flywheels and general poor quality of construction and materials.

I have a D22 . The engine has never blown up ( or let me down at all )  Regularly towed a Jensen A 540 , pulled trees over , pulled a fully laden Canter with wet chip and the chipper on the back , out of a muddy field . I change the oil and filter every 6K and that's it .  Consumables have been tiers , and oil really . Its a bit beat up body wise but hey ! ?

Stubby , I've got an old d22 also 190k on it . The turbo went the other day at the same time as the mot and had to think twice however by far the most reliable motor I have ever owned . used daily still for logging and not had an easy paper round but i do have a soft spot for it . 

As for D40's great trucks and go like the clappers , mines due for a change now and thinking ranger 3.2 as I've had a few issues .
