Where can you find licensing info on max tray size for all utes. Even the manufacturers hardly ever give tray sizes.Can;t find any web sites with max build sizes.Or even if you want to swap trays,what size is allowed on what?

its all good and easy for everyone to say how great these navaras are, i know people who own new navaras and they have all had trouble with that shift on the fly 4wd shit playing up when they go through deep creek crossings! one had to get the whole system replaced as it wouldnt go into 4wd anymore after he done a creek crossing, my bt-50 and my mates hilux (both new) have gone through plenty of creeks and mud and the auto hub locking system hasnt played up once as far as im concerned navara should look at going back to the old stick shift 4wd system

Iám from Austria/Vienna. Hallo,i found this Site on Internet.And it is great. The Test from Nissan Navara is good, but i will say for family people is the Double-Cab Version better.4 Doors and more place on the Backseats.
I have this Car since 07/2008 and it is wonderfull.
Before i have a Hyundai Santa Fe 2002.But this and other Cars i have tested are Nothing. Navara is the Best Car in my Live! Greatings from Vienna! 2483 Robert P.

Numbers dont lie but they dont always tell the truth!

The engine just doesnt feel as strong as the numbers suggest. That comes from where the power is delivered.

Compared to the Hilux you’d think the Nissan would wipe the floor but it doesn’t. & its more to do with how you drive a diesel.

With the toyota’s powerband matching how you drive a diesel with a 1400-3400 powerband. the important part being the 1400 – 2000 range where you need the engine to be responding. Below 2000rpm the nissan feels asleep. handy, thats were you need it in town, towing up a hill or in soft sand

On the power side. I just wonder how many kw’s the nissan delivers at say 2500- 3200 compared to the hilux? In normal diesel driving thats were you change up.

Alec, I agree with what you are saying about tray lengths, (F-150 or similar would solve that). The tub on the D40 dual cab is actually wider than what it is long. The US version of this ute the Frontier can be optioned with the king cab length tub on the dual cab, which I think would be quite a popular option over here. The US version also looks quite smart with some of the wheel/tyre combinations avaliable.

JEYKL & HYDE,
Yeh thought about that, I just prefer a style side for looks and ease of storage etc.

Def be looking at a flat tray for the planned OZ trip though.

alec,

if the d40 dual cab fits the bill,as far as the rear seat space goes,you will be happy to know that you can fit a 1900 x 1900 tray on should you wish(been there,done that).colorado crew cab chassis ditto

Dlr1,
I agree with you regarding the tray length option.
That would fix the biggest issue with Crew Cabs
