jasper65 6 Posted October 15, 2007 Report Share Posted October 15, 2007 After reading some bad press about the Nav I'll 99% sure be moving it on sometime in the new year. there's a few Pickups on the market these days but which one ticks all the box's? when I did my homework a couple of years back the Navara seemed to come tops in fuel consumption plus it had a bit more power to it but is this still the case . Its won't be a new one by the way, hopefully around 2002/2005 model.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jasper65 6 Posted October 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2007 L200 Jasper, Anyone who has had a Mitsubishi will tell you that, including yourself mate Big problem though old mate for me is they're pretty thirsty! second they don't have a timeing chain just a rubber drive belt . There's a site for Pajero's I was on where alot of these belts was snapping on the 2.5 engines which I would guess is near on the same engine in the L200 , this is the reason I got the 2.8 cause it was chain driven ....

The original Ranger and Barracuda same pickup both made in same factory ...The 2006/2007 barracuda new shape has different engine in Asia 3.litre diesel and outperforms fords duratec and navara...and hilux 3.litre lump in both power and mph Quote Link to post Share on other sites
squirreltail 15 Posted October 18, 2007 Report Share Posted October 18, 2007 Dont get a navara . certainly not an outlaw, if I had to spell the faults out there wouldnt be enough room on the page. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jasper65 6 Posted October 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2007 Its funny how I keep hearing alot of critisim about the Navara but this car has been kicking the arse of the other oposition in the rateings for a fair while now . One thing is definitley has is more Grunt right through to the top, the other fuel consumption and a good few other things. I spent a fair bit of time comparing them all last night and have reached the conclusion a newer Navara is probably the way to go. Found this on youtube of a L200 vs Navara ...

Simoman 110 Posted October 19, 2007 Report Share Posted October 19, 2007 Stick with the Navara Tony, we could get together and set up a support group Quote Link to post Share on other sites
