Duncan Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 Thought of sharing this with other 4x4 fans here. Not sure if the Nissan D40 Navara 4x4 is popular in SL. Quite a popular model in SA and Oz. Mainly for it comfort and cabin space. A local SA 4x4 magazine took it on as a project to improve on the D40 and make it unique. Here is a pic We also have after market company ARCTIC TRUCKS here in SA. Sanctioned by the manufacturers. Take a look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Don Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 Yep, this truck is quite popular in SL, mostly UK imports. How are the common rail engines holding up in Bontswana? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pericles Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 That Nissan looks like my kinda Mean Machine! Looks like a Baja runner. I test drove one (A normal Navara) once. Freaking boat of a vehicle. Just a little too big to be properly practical on our suburban roads and byways. But I liked it a lot. Definitely loaded with options. But most of the stuff here are the Smart cabs, right? Not the double cabs like these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duncan Posted June 6, 2012 Author Share Posted June 6, 2012 Both the petrol V6 4litre motor and the diesel motor holds out very well. The diesel has had problems in certain markets where the quality of diesel is not that great. The 3.0dCi diesel motor is the most powerful in its class. 170kw and 550Nm at 1750 rpm. Awesome for low end crawling. very nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the vehicles I displayed here are road legal. Pretty nice in our wide roads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mostly are, but with the tax reduction they did bring down the double cab as well. Btw the Navara looks mean, but they could have taken off the chrome parts.
