Good to see another vid Alex! I checked out the 2017 Navara a couple weeks ago and was so impressed with it, definitely a huge move from the previous generation ones. But as you said, give it 6 months to see what issues arise... looking forward to seeing more stuff from you.
Youre back. You guys are crazy, and thats why I love what you do. I've mencioned as an influence, and I stick to it!! You really make me laugh, and in the middle, you show interesting things ... thank you all ... I do miss the Subaru adventures .. LOL ... stay well ... stay bogged ... Cheers ... Abraços from Portugal.
Hi Alex at the beginning of this vid you mentioned you towed a campervan with this vehicle. How did that go? I own a 2010 D40 Navara which has a chip, three inch exhaust and had a brand new turbo fitted prior to the trip but found pulling a 24 foot caravan to Coral Bay it was way underpowered.Be interested in your comments.Regards bigezi
This thing has some serious poke! The camper I towed with it had a dry weight of 1450kg and had a bit of water on board so I'd say about 1550kg. The Navara certainly didn't have the same get up with it attached, but it had no trouble maintaining speed, even towing up the hill to dwellingup :)
thanks guys, always fun to watch. I had a quick look at the prices of 2016 demo's and these things are a lot cheaper than the ranger and/or bt-50 which would be my other choice. Any chance of you making a vid on one of them bad boys? 🤠
I'm having trouble with power shutting down when I'm passing on uphill grades and regular passing slower traffic...I have to stop my truck and disconnect the battery to reset the computer....can I have this problem replaced?
Yeah, I think better wait to see if it got some D40 issues. I got a D40 myself, won't say it's the good one engine and maintenance wise. I love it's look and feels sturdy.
i have one love it, never missed a beat and it has gone up things stock people with trucks with 10k worth of work done wouldn't. then ive pulled them up or out of trouble.. just saying..... keep the vids coming buddy !
Hi I'm from New Zealand and intrested In maby getting a 2wd navara st I see alot of reviews and comments about the navara in Australia mostly negative is that due to driving conditions being different than over here I only say this as I know at least 6 people who own st navaras 3 of them use them for work and have towed heavy loads with them no problem everything from 3 ton trailers to scissor lifts and building supplies the other guy has one to tow his drift car has no problem with towing his trailer all of the people I've mentioned have owned there navaras more than 2 years or more telling me that they have had very few or no problems engine wise with them or the mechanical components on the ute
Aaahhh I want it but people say they’re cheap and have engine problems and I want coils and they sound so good with a straight pipe and people say they have no problems and I don’t know what to think of it, might have to stick with the dmax.
What the deuce did you guys say you were going to be getting at the pub? It sounded like "chicken parmy" which I think would be a chicken parm over here in the states. BTW, glad to see another video by you. Top notch stuff as usual.
nope nope and nope its a standard 2.3l engine designed as a 2.3 as part of a family of engines that has a 2l model in it. If they were oversized pistons that would make the engine capacity smaller, It can tow 3.5 tonne, timing chain has nothing to do with towing capacity, max TQ is delivered at a set engine RPM and the timing chain has no bearing on load capacity it just ensures the timing is kept. Stop watching west yorkshire engine services films they are full of misleading and inaccurate engineering information.
It leakes a lot. Even brand new. Be prepared to pay top dollar for faulty sensors when leakage strucks. Hope Nissan extend its warranty at least 5years, if NOT don't buy. Look other for utes.
@@ukaszsojewski4811 Your comment is almost right. Almost... since no sane car owner wants to bring back his broken car to the Nissan dealer for necessary warranty repairs. So... "almost right" must be replaced by " insane" really.
Should I Buy One? - Noooo :/ Mate, I would rather ask you, why would you?! There are plenty options out there in the Aussie market without that horribly engineered engine.
yeah nar the coil sprung rears make for a better platform to modify for serious off roading, ozzies are too thick to work that out yet though, give em time mayte aye
I think its more the fact of how many issues have plagued navaras since the D22. Then you add the terrible customer service nissan gave the people afterwards. Yes coils are better but not worth all the other dramas that go with it. Why roll the dice on navara again when there are so many other proven utes to build off?
I wouldn't get a Nevara if you paid for it. Not trying to piss on your parade Alex, but look at the very poor approach and departure angles for one. Add to that they they have a bad reputation for snapping their chassis in the middle and would need to be heavily modified before any serious off roading..... why would you spend so much money on something that is so sub standard!! I can see some great recovery videos coming up if you waste your hard earned cash on one of these. Maybe that's a good thing for us sitting at home watching you get bogged everywhere hehe. I would rather get a Ford Ranger and spend cash modding one of those. Been missing regular vids from you Alex... you gotta keep your subs satisfied with new content ;)
Yeah, I'd sure have to hear some good reviews on them after a few years on the market if I was to consider buying one. Another Patrol was a good choice for the moment. I do love the ford ranger! Maybe down the track...
Funny you should say the Ford Ranger, I have been admiring them fo quite a while now and am tempted. Haven't heard any horror stories about them either so yeah maybe... Will take a lot for me to defect from my beloved Range Rover P38 4.6 HSE though hehe..... Be great to see you back in a Patrol Alex, a real 4WD lol
Sir_Forsaken you have no idea and you clearly can't spell if you knew anything about rangers you would know the electronic systems are fucked in them. I am dual trade auto electrician and heavy Diesel fitter as far as vehicles go Ford rangers and Mitsubishi have more problems than any vehicle combined. I drive a d Max and it even has its faults. As far as utes go Nissan is in the top 5 percent behind LandCruiser and land Rover. As I have worked on over 8000 vehicles in my career of all different makes and models I'd say I have a fair idea on what vehicles are potential pieces of shit. most Nissan utes will give over 300k without any problems. especially if they were the Spanish built models not the cheap this built shit. Just like you will get 500 thou k of a cruiser before you start spending big dollars.
It’s a Renault transit van engine bored out to a 2.3 litre engine with bigger pistons . Still has the Renault van single row timing chain. Give it a few years ,these things will be snapping timing chains left right and centre. The block is cast iron (wtf) . Cheap skate Nissan. Also the bottom radiator hose rubs on the compressor pulley ( makes hole, no coolant, overheat, bye bye Navara.) Would not buy 1 if my life depended on it 👎
Best double cab 4x4 on the market. Least amount of issues, best looking (IMO) and just gets it done. Had mine for 4 years and hasn’t missed a beat.
How many kms do you have on it?

thanks for sharing Alex, amazing what they can do with a 2.3L motor eh.
Aaahhh I want it but people say they’re cheap and have engine problems and I want coils and they sound so good with a straight pipe and people say they have no problems and I don’t know what to think of it, might have to stick with the dmax.
you do you. i kinda like the older utes but there again its up to you mate
i fine navara is the best pickup beacuse it has great shape and it way faster than the others
7 speed auto or 6 speed manual mate 👌🏽👌🏽
What the deuce did you guys say you were going to be getting at the pub? It sounded like "chicken parmy" which I think would be a chicken parm over here in the states.

Yeah mate the full name for it is almost forgotten haha, chicken parmigiana.
ok, that is what I figured.
Khorsathedark what he was actually asking for was a chicken parmageddon, he is just being polite with you.
How long ago was this taken cause I'm going there this Saturday :)
About 2 weeks ago bud! Looks like it's been graded pretty recently.
+Intents Offroad cheers mate, looking forward for today.
Cool video!
another litre bigger Alex and a few more mods and it would be a great truck
That's not a bad little truck. Have to find a way to get you guys a Ford Raptor or Ram Rebel over there.
Yesss, those Ford Raptors look awesome!
yeah, the raptors are not Baja, desert crossers than slow bush crawlers. It really depends what kind of off roading you like to do.
Oops, meant to say they're more Baja than bush.
Missed your vids. Just buy it so you can get some of your good old trip vids again!
0:25 Like if you checked your phone
send it to Canada. with 6 speed manual and turbo diesel
7 speed auto not 6
I'm in tbe area if you want to test drive my stock 2016 MQ Triton to compare it for your video.
Matt Field Mitsubishis are the biggest heaps of shit on the world market. buying a mitsy is like buying a sang Yong. complete waste of money
nice hair cut Jake
Renault 2 litre with oversized pistons which were known for bottom end failure. single row timing chain and they say they can tow 3.5 tonne
nope nope and nope its a standard 2.3l engine designed as a 2.3 as part of a family of engines that has a 2l model in it.

have you looked at a ranger or bt50
I have! I quite like the ranger, just not a fan of the BT50 looks.
Intents Offroad same reason I got the ranger and not the bt50
I'll take the 50 thanks over the rest great all rounder in the ute class
Check out a isuzu Dmax, they seem a good deal, and capable.
you'll be far better off with a old 90s hilux spare parts are readily available and they'll go pretty much any where
the Triton 2017 4x4, MIVEC 2.4 litre engine is the best ...
It leakes a lot. Even brand new. Be prepared to pay top dollar for faulty sensors when leakage strucks. Hope Nissan extend its warranty at least 5years, if NOT don't buy. Look other for utes.
Nice car ....
Unfortunately with severe quality issues.
That's why you have guarantee ;-)

Why not a Ford (Y)
It’s a 7 speed auto
Should I Buy One? - Noooo :/
Mate, I would rather ask you, why would you?! There are plenty options out there in the Aussie market without that horribly engineered engine.
Import an Xterra from the US and Titan swap it and put a VK in it. Problems solved.
"It's not a lexus" no shit Sherlock it's a navara
Are we suuuuure it's not a Renault though?
Consider a D-max my dad has one and it's great
Don't mate navaras are the worst of the utes
it's still fun to watch though
yeah nar the coil sprung rears make for a better platform to modify for serious off roading, ozzies are too thick to work that out yet though, give em time mayte aye

yes def, I'm only giving my 2c because Alex asks in the title
Each to their own, my nav has never had a problem and since getting a new hilux i have run into a few already 6 months old

Sir_Forsaken ford ranger costs a lot more..
Very true, but i'd rather have one of those than a Navara....

What's wrong with a iron block? Generally asking.
Dave Nicholson watching the yorkshire dude
People don't care about things to go wrong ona new car with 5 years warranty and fix services. They toss it out after the leasing period anyway.
