What type of suspension does the new Navara have?

Is it the same as the new Pathfinder?

the nav d40 has independent front suspension like the pathfinder but
at rear nav is solid leaf suspension where as pf is independent.

I think pathfinders are coil sprung all round and New navaras (D40) are coils on front and leafs on back.

Depends what you are gna use the Nav for.

D22 for a working pickup capable in many situations.

D40 for more of a road use vehicle

I love My D22 and it gets worked fairly hard and it loves it, The only thing I evny off the D40 is 6th gear for Motorway use.

I also envy jaces 3l TD engine as mine (2.5TDi) is prone to blowing up, If I had known this when I Bought it I would have gone for the 3l but there are mods you can do to the engine to give it back some life span. Although the bonnet scoop looks better on mine!

Own a bike shop and the Nav is more moving bikes around etc, so genuine commercial use, my accountant is looking into tax and stuff, should be fine though.

Getting a new shape so think only one engine choice.

Fuel comsumtion and the green :mrgreen: people, thats why they did away with the normally aspirated 4.2 diesel and they are thinking of discontinuing the Patrol all together over here :(

If we want the bigger engines soon we'll all be driving imports :? 8O
