Hi,
I have a mate who is looking at buying either the Narvara dual cab or the Hilux SR5 dual cab both in turbo diesel form. Does anyone have any comments on either or both of these vehicles. Service issues, performance, fuel consumption, bad points, common faults etc??
Thanks

there is an article in 4WD monthly at the moment on older Narvaras. Seem to be very good work horses, VERY reliable, but not too powerful. Have a look there.

4x4 Australia had an article too unless this is the one you are referring to.

Nope, it was in the latest 4wd monthly I picked up at the airport 2 weeks ago. It is still the current volume. Have a look here:

Sorry. 4x4 Australia did a
test on 1997-2000 diesel Navaras also.
Must be 'Navara Month'

There you go, now Austravel has the full range of reports to go bye. And he'll probably choose a Hilux....

Hey Austravel
The hilux and narvara are both really nice rigs. The new narvara has proven
well lifting there sales figures dramatically (spelling). When it comes down to the decision they are both also most the some and cannot recommend one more than the other. The only big difference is hilux has got a very good rep and accessories and alot more easy to get hold of and there is a wider range.
Hope all goes
well
Cheers Patrick

There's an artical in the September issue of 4x4 Australia thats saying Toyota are bringing out a brand new comman rail intercooled turbo diesel donk for the Hilux range very soon. It's not going to out gun the 110kws of the Navara but it will have a higher maximum torque.
Have a look at the sep issue of 4x4 Australia. Would make an intereting read if you were looking at a new T/D Lux.

neither are the best for serious off roading with
dam independent suspention but go for the navara with 110kw compared to 86kw its the way to go
