Ok then, if it's a quality build, it must be a Dmax Chasis;D

Your words not mine  ;D

Whilst I am glad you recoginise the superiority of the mighty Isuzu, I doubt the Dmax chassis is anything special.  Amazing motor though.

But I'm presuming Mercedes will use their own motor so any old Datsun or Jeep chassis would probably be good enough  ;D

So we will see the Navara wearing 3 different badges, Renault are releasing a NP300 based ute as well ! Must be a record for the most brands using the same platform ?

Yep, the Chev badged Commondore drivers will have some competition. Navara's running around with AMG badges next  ::)

With enough horse power, sheer ignorance and a total lack of respect for your vehicle, you'll get through....

The pathfinder was always a re badged Renault trying to look like a navara. You just have to get inside one and it screams Renault ...ask me how I know, my mother's owned nothing but renal ts for mor years than I can remember.
Great motors and suspension geometry but they are sadly like rover...good on paper but assembled by people that don't give a Shit about build quality

Another 3 or so years and they'll catch on up here on the Sunshine Coast.

Maybe we could design and build the Mysawg ute, complete with rated tow points, 6 b&s wiring, Dc DC charger etc. etc. !!

Now wouldn't that be a great conversation to have at the next gathering. The design would have to be based on the Great Wall, with a Detroit series 60 engine and 13sp Ultrashift transmission. Mickey Thompson tyres as standard. Hendrickson suspension and Detroit lockers. PTO hydraulic pump to run the crane.....

Hang on, this sound like one of our work trucks.......

Still, I reckon I could easily design something that would price itself out of the market!!!

and its got to be Petrol..... :angel:
