Good Points

Looks, load carrying capacity and towing ability. It's also pretty civilized for a pick-up and the interior is well equipped. The 6-CD radio is good.


Bad Points

I found suspension can be a bit harsh when lightly loaded on poor road surfaces (but that's mainly due to the poor state of our roads). Roof bars had to be replaced under warranty due to corrosion - the dealer was fine about it, but I didn't go in ranting and shouting, which helps.

Front suspension creaks on full lock but a dab of grease fixes it.


General Comments

I have owed the Nissan Navara from new and now done over 110,000 miles. In general terms it has been reliable but now certain suspension components are starting to wear, which isn't surprising when you consider it's a 2-tonne truck that's done 110,000 miles. I got around 40k miles from a set of tyres then switched to BFG A/T's and now get nearer 80k. The truck ate an injector pump but when investigated this turned out to be because I had used biofuel and this had resulted in the internal seals being damaged. Using 'proper' diesel it's been fine.

The clutch is starting to show signs of slight wear but again, after 110k it's hardly unreasonable.

Considering it's basically a working vehicle that has been civilized inside for the 'lifestyle' buyers, it's pretty comfortable to drive, even on long journeys. Rear leg room is, however, only suitable for kids or people with tiny legs!.
