Teerano are so narrow

[jims-terrano]

And Nissan had to off set the spare wheel om trols cos one of the doors aint wide enough for a spare to fit

[russell.huffer]

I am going to call the smaller door on the back of my Patrol "Terrano" as it is too narrow, on my Trooper the smaller door was approx a third of the opening and quite useable but the Patrol is only about a quarter of the opening meaning I have to open both most of the time.

This forum has become awfully political recently

I must admit, when used to think of the Terrano, I had only ever noticed the bulk standard entry spec Terrano, that does look skinny, and always has droopy front suspension. I never liked the look of them at all.

It was not until I saw that they also did the nicer looking two tone ones, with a few bells and whistles, that I realised that there was a different Terrano with wheel arch extensions, and the all manly side steps. With the extra couple of inches added to the sides, in a contrasting colour, adds a psychological trick of the eye, which makes it bit wider and a lot smarter.

What I do like though, is it does fit into Tesco's parking bays, which most 4x4's don't.

The other thing is, you can fit through gaps that other drivers think you won't.

Many a time drivers hold back to let you through, when in all fairness the gap looks plenty big enough to me.

What they see is a large 4x4 coming their way, they don't get their slide rule out to see if the gap is wide enough...

I always wave to thank them, even if it was technically my right of way.

[russell.huffer]

The problem in the Patrol is that I do not fit through the gaps I think I will and end up with bumpers like this.

[Thomas-the-Terrano2]

like idea of steering truck using spare, something thought of years ago, when collected
brittains tractors that steered, even their lorry steered via the raised air intake but
the landy with bonnet spare didnt


like the t2 being compact for laning though wish was tardis like as rear seat is a squeeze
for 3, better to see 7 seater as 6 seater. mind makes the caravan look even bigger as
it appears to dwarf the t2, despite being a good match....though trol was better.


agreed loving bit of banter, welcome aboard btw

They look small next to Patrol but the length and height of the car needs more width most of the back is taken up by spare wheel.
I know I should not speak bad of the Terano as lots of people on here seem to like them but 2 hours on and I am still chuckling to my self when I think of it.

Russell.

I take it you are bored with poking fun at the local schoolkids? The TERRANO is a great vehicle, I have to use narrow country lanes, JUST enough room for two to pass. The Range Rover following me has to stop hard! I whizz through. It turns into a large VAN in SECONDS! How many can do that? I saw one for sale the other day with 195,000 miles on the clock, and still going strong.
Anyway, when you are stuck in the snow, I hope you won't be wanting a tow out.
Now bugger off.......

You might want to edit that before you run out of time. A bit harsh innit ?
Light hearted banter is all

Must be that city and town air getting to peoples heads

[Blocky10]

I'm wondering if troll owners are compensating for the lack of size elsewhere? ;-)

[johnb5177]

I like my T2, but have to say, that having used 2003/4 Trol 3.0 GRSVE's (manual and auto box), for an off road driving school I helped run, I have lusted after one ever since......looked on Autotrader SW the other evening to find quite a few 2003/4 models (as well as a 4.2!) around £3 - 4 K in the SW of UK.......nice trucks.....
