The Nissan Navara (D23 NP300) has had a third revision for the Australian market with a new dual rate rear spring setup and reduced steering ratio on dual cab Navara models. Have the changes worked? Tom heads to the Yarra Ranges with a load and a trailer on the Navara to find out.

Finally a ute review because you said you would make a review on the navara and the amarok quite a few months ago so really happy to see that finally happen 👍

Good review, but am I the only one not comfortable with the tailgate being dropped like that? Seems unnecessarily rough! Maybe I've just got too much mechanical sympathy...

Thanks for the reveiw. Should I go down the raod of the twin cabs, this week the Navara has been added to my short list, in 4x2 manual form. The other twin cab is most likely a Amarok 4x4 Core 400 manual.

@chasingcars 6 жыл бұрын

Good choices. Be careful, though, only the 4x4 dual cabs get the revised and strengthened rear suspension.

Where is the dampened rear tailgate? I hope they don't forget it in the 2020 Frontier or it's a deal breaker! Love my 2012 but time for better fuel economy and a dampened rear gate please!

Should we expect more from Nissan and be more critical if they release a 3rd series? In my opinion they still fall short of the benchmark.

@Keepingitrespectfulmostly. 5 жыл бұрын

I arranged a test drive of a Navara last week @ my local Nissan dealers.. I tried the automatic with push button ignition .. Very smooth ride but didn't like pot holes.. Nice chunky design which I like.. I currently have a TD4. The Navara made a big difference.. I would like to try the F Ranger next and maybe the Hilux too.. The Hilux being the old boy on the block so to speak. The pickup section on the Navara was hydraulic which I didn't realise until seeing it up close.. I thought that was a great idea if it works..

@mikeykeyes 5 жыл бұрын

I don't like the Navara's rear window with a comic headrest that also blocks rear vision to some extent; steering in the 2015 edition is heavy; rear vision camera and 7 inch screen is woeful

@chasingcars 5 жыл бұрын

Steering is much better now and 360-degree camera is cool, but the seven-inch screen still looks small and feels very dated

In mye country in northern Europe, the Navara has a really low 2nd hand value compared to the rest.... as new, the Navara is more expensive, by a good margin, than the Isuzu, but on the used market, it's the opposite, isn't it any good? On paper it looks okay...., but maybe not irl..... so far, I've owned Hilux Arctic Trucks AT37, and Isuzu AT35, both could do with a bit more power n torque.. but otherwise very good trucks.👍

I call BS on this guy claiming to be 6 feet tall. He keeps saying it in his videos. Prove it!

@chasingcars 6 жыл бұрын

Uhhh...It’s only an average height, and I’m giving it as a guide so non-regulars know how much relative headroom there is.

@user2144 6 жыл бұрын

Chasing Cars Uhhh, what does it even mean when you say 'it's only an average height'? Are you saying your height varies between different videos you make? 😅 Of course you are closer to being 6 feet tall than 5. However, if you want to give an *accurate* guide to viewers -- accuracy is kind of important -- on the relative headroom they may expect to have, it would help if you gave true impression. Saying there is 2 inches of headroom, but you are not accurate in your height is not a true impression on what they, the viewer and potential car buyer, may expect to have. If you are 5 foot 9 and say I have two inches of room, then a person who is *actually* 6 feet tall will struggle for room. Why not pull out a tape measure? It takes about a minute to measure yourself. Btw, you never said I am *about* 6 feet tall, you say, I am... big difference. I suggest you clean up your act.

@chasingcars 6 жыл бұрын

I think you’re taking it a little unusually far - I am 6’, no, I don’t need to prove it with a tape measure to you, and those that watch more than one video can get a really good sense of how much room there is in the various vehicles as both Jake and I are the same height. That’s as far as I’m willing to go into it, sorry!
