Looking at a new vehicle around May. Like the specs on the Navara 3lt turbo. Waiting for one to come into the local dealer for a
test drive. Also looked at the Rodeo 3lt.
Test drive didn't impress that much.
Have heard whispers that Mitsubishi is releasing a new 3lt TD soon. Registered my interest with several dealers on this.
The couple of write ups I've seen didn't think much for the handling, but from previous posts here I read that maybe fuel economy is not that crash hot??? Basically looking for user
feedback on the Navara and Rodeo users at this stage. I do a fair bit of country driving, mainly good tracks. Also tow a boat, tinny weighs around the 750kg mark + all the fishing / camping gear.
Look forward to your
feedback.

Search the archives for Rodeos I think it was snapping in half?
The Navara has the GU 3.0 donk in it, so it goes good in a 2 ton GU, in a less weight ute, it will do more than fly!!!!
Drive all of them, but drive each one twice from different dealers. This way if one is a lemon, then you can drive another to see if they are all like that or not.

The Navara donk does not have the intercoooler so produces a little less power. But I agree with T'ster
test drive as much as you can. And make sure you get to drive the configuration you are looking for. Sometimes they might not have an auto in stock so give you a manual and they can be totally different from each other. INSIST INSIST INSIST

The GU bonnet scoop is only $99! then the intercooler and stuff for around $1500-2000.... You would have a crazy machine!
