New Navara Launched
« on: March 21, 2015, 11:23:25 AM »
If anyone's heading to the Bris 4x4 show, I'd be interested in pics and thoughts on the new Navara.

Congrats to the Ironman crew for getting to market first.

They both look pretty cool.

They are much more substantial looking in the trouser department compared to one without the barwork. Now if only they weren't a Datsun.......

Both the Ironman and TJM show utes were locked up tight.  Couldn't see a heap inside with the window tint and being under indoor lights but they looked great.  The tailgate has a funny little shelf/spooler on the top of it.  You could rest a stubbie on it  ;D but not sure of its real purpose.

No. The current R52 Pathfinder is now a soft roader - no low range

They've got a 2.3lt in 2 states of tune.  The higher state of tune is roughly equivalent to the most powerful of the old 2.5's.  The V6 is history.

I hate to give Nissan any credit for a good idea. But it really is about time someone did this and if the rest of the Nav is up to or better than par it should take a decent share of the market
