These have a ton payload . and with a box / canopy on the rear they can hold a 650 flat tank , and room for reels etc..
with a double cab and all the mod cons of a car, i fancy one...
anyone use one of these ?
-
I use a Navara Aventura Double Cab with a 500L upright tank.
-
Brodex used to have a Navaro as a show vehicle. Nice paint job and all.
Didn't see it at the NEC so I bet they've sold it now.
Worth a call as it looked great :)

This one went for £2,000 yesterday. Bargain.

Nice pics - good setup

youd need a fuel bowser to tow behind it. big japs ALWAYS drink fuel like no tomoro.

Can't disagree with that, getting about 20mpg!! Can get 25 on a run when back is empty and being very careful!!
If I was buying now when window cleaning is my main business, I would probably go for a van.
-
I used to have an L200 til it got nicked a couple of months ago. Fantastic van v. reliable if a bit thirsty.
-
Yeah, I am tempted as well. A mechanic mate told me the Ford Ranger is a much better buy tho.

Hi
I am thinking of a navara, great alrounder and get a tow bar and a trailer and you can go pressure washing with it as well.
i know there thirsty, but so is a vivaro or tranny.
i ve heard the new model is much better on fuel as well. but 20,000 gulp!
cheers

Mine is the D40 Dec 56 plate, so I think it is the new model. Mine's auto so the manual might be better on fuel

Dont know owt about the Warrior but be careful with Navara's .... read up on the Navara Forums.
Sold a few of these when I was a car dealer NIGHTMARE.
Conrod thru block
Head Gasket
Gearbox
Driveshaft / Axle
and this was just all on 1 Navara
Hilux worth looking at

Hi
I have only been told excellent things about the nissan and how bulletproof the engines where.
mind you i have heard the same about the toyotas and jeremy clarkson didnt manage to break the top gear one.
i have had heard the l200 blows its head and valves every 50 000 or so. i also now several who have had both warrior and navara and say the nissan is miles better drive and cab comfort.
all second hand knowledge though!

We have a 6x4 trailer and a 14x7 trailer the larger one was built in the USA and the smaller one is UK made, not ifor williams though.

cheers roger
i thought a 6x4 with caged sides and ramp would be ideal, pressure washer, tank hose lances whirlaway.
should just about go in on the back of a navara perfect set up i think

John,
I bought our 6x4 from here www.trailers.co.uk box trailer it holds a full tech-clean set-up plus wet vac etc it is 750kg max so unbraked. Water we get on site, so do carry water as you would go over weight.
