New pickups for 2015/16

[Peter]

I'm waiting for the new Navara, not really interested in anything else to be honest. This is based on the outstanding customer service and back up I have received from my Nissan dealer over the past 6 years over anything else.

 

7 speed auto sounds good, don't know much about the 2.3 engine though.

According to that link, more reliable than the nissan under heavy load..not something i'd know about

Nissan have Kaylee on the service desk

 

Thats swung it, much better than Dave at Isuzu

Is basing a pickup on a Navara a good idea ?

I have rarely heard a good word said about them, do they still blow engines ?

You will find the minority will make a big fuss when they have a problem, and the happy majority will remain quiet. Never had a problem in 6 years, and don't personally know of anyone who has either.

It's a difficult one as everyone has different priorities.

 

I would avoid Nissan because I had one and the dealers round our way we're dreadful. They have had loads of grief with the engines for over 10 years. But it was a good drive and I loved the gearbox.

 

I drove the amorok and felt it stood head and shoulders above the rest but only 2.0 litre engine and the truck may not be tough enough especially with no low box. The price is horrendous and so is the waiting list.

 

The dmax I thought drove crude a bit like a 15 year old l200 but it does tow 3500kg

 

Hilux nice to drive but dated, noisey engine, poor towing weight and expensive to buy will be reliable though with good resale.

 

I learnt years ago to stay well clear of French stuff.

 

I don't think the new kids on the block will grasp the towing thing straight off so expect clutch and drive train problems.

Mine looked good....but sadly Nissan workshops had it in their possession 4 x longer than me.

They arent pick ups, sorry, I know its expensive, but it really would be the last one you would buy:001_tt2:

4.2 straight 6 diesel, or V6 petrol. Tows 3.5t carries 1.2t as a double cab, 1.4 t as a single cab..
