Looking to get a new truck.....

Postby killersuzuki » December 3rd, 2009, 8:46 am

.....well it's finally time to upgrade! My Ranger is being passed on to someone else in the company, so I get to upgrade to a new vehicle.

I've narrowed it down to:

1. Navara 4x4 manual WITH LSD ( I heard they have LSD now, but I have to check that out for myself)

2. L200 3.2 manual

The Ranger 3.0 manual is on the list, but I think I want to try a different brand, and I don't really like the interior of the Ford.

What you think fellas? Are there any other trucks I can add to the list?

Well if you want to switch brands I'd go with the Navara, it's a good looking truck and we already know how you like to 'tweak' with engine power so you will have a lot to play with on this one. It was my only other option when I was looking around, but decided against it because of the price and the lousy after sales service from N&M. Not too sure about the L2 though....never could get past that 'storm trooper' look.

Went to N&M South......still can't find anybody to verify if the navara has a f@*%ing LSD! The salesmen are HOPELESS!!!!

So it looks like L200 in the lead for now.

Finally got confirmation:

- Manual Navaras DO NOT have LSD
- Auto Navaras have LSD (but I think it is the ABS ECU simulating LSD)

SO the Navara is out!

Yup, the LSD 'issue' was the final nail in the coffin for me with the Navara.

So I guess it's the L200 for you....

Vader Approves :lol:

if you do that and bring it in from the UK you would not have to buy the 3.2 you could go for the 2.5 cause it would have the upgrade to 175hp 400lb/ft

I could be wrong but the 3.2 comes only in Auto.

Buy it LOCAL and get the WARRANTY ... if you ever need it, it's less stress to sort out your ride.

Update:

Still cannot get confirmation on whether any 3.2 manual L200s are coming in......so I have to wait and see;

Navara doesn't come with LSD, and I really don't want to spend a set of money to put in one on a new van, so........

BT50 is out, Isuzu is out, Hilux is out.....

Ranger? not sure, but may consider it IF I can get a 3.0 manual.

Update done. :mrgreen:
