I am needing more space but not quite a van so been looking at pick ups so that I can keep same number of seats.
Has anyone got a new new shape L200 or a Navaro and what do you think of them ?

Cheers

Vicki's brothers both have Navarros, 3 yrs old in March. They seem ok but they won't be replacing them because i think they want something slightly less agricultural.

Our sales manager has the Mitsubishi and as far as I know he loves it.

RODS on here had a couple of Navarras in his fleet and Karen used to drive one of them to Greece and back no problem (in one stint at that!).

Hi paul,as Al said we have a Navara and L200 Elegance,personlly prefer the L200.

Also noticed that you are working for a roofing manufacturer,can you mail me details on your Alluminium standing seam systems,we are negotiating a project at the moment,however we need something Zinc lookalike to come in at budget.

Rob,

Is it commercial or residential roofing you do ?

With regards to pickup question, I much prefer the Navara. Both are in all honesty pretty good (the old L200 was way underpowered, althought the new ones ok).

Father in law to be has the Nissan, great bit of kit but they went through a stage of popping blocks at £100k but I assume theyve sorted this.

i HAVE a 02 Navarre king cab,IE small rear side seats, verry go0d wanted the mitsy but when i checked the specs the Nissan won every time,(raced a mitsy 40 miles empty when i had a reasonable load,i was faster all round) exept ditch angle.had a new mitsy on hire recently flat as a sheet of glass.also if i remember they got there knuckles wrapped for having too weak a chassis in crash tests and had to strengthen them with plates bolted on.
Read a good 4x4 mag and if in doubt hire for A WEEK B4 U BUY

Careful with Nissans,too high geared for towing/full weight and then eats clutches.

I've got an 06 Navara too, great piece of kit. Does everything you could ask of it and has been no bother for 3 years. Really comfy for long drags too, father took it to Athens and back last year!
