htere is a few threads around i cant remeber what the address is in fishnet four wheel forum about clutch slippage and also 3 ton towing capacity but hey nissan are not saying anything on towing ability when asked but clutch was repalce aparently may be a related oil leak somewhere nearby.

i have a 99 d22 with no dramas (although a turbo would help me on the highway?)
Standard suspension sucks with a bullbar (as most guides will tell you but i guess every one doesnt have one so horses for courses and rear end jumps a little without a load (most utes do) .
i love my ute .
