Current crop of TD D/Cabs

Only the look of em, damn there a shocker!

I had a good look at the nav and tri next to each other in the factory the other day. I at first thought the tri was ok but after walking between the two several times I came up with some of my own ideas. I dont have a clue about price which is a huge factor but I thought the navara looked stronger, the fron gard is actually part of the car and does not have a rubber joining strip, the interior of the nav I liked better because I like the straight up and down style, the tri was more smooth and curvey. In seating the tri is trying to be a car and the nav is more 4x4 like, that is also taste although I think taller people may be more comfortabe in the nav. The tri's engine is probably better and I have driven the 2.5 TDI and it is powerful but thrashy, if it turns out the tri is more meaty then I would prefer the tri's donk (havent driven it tho). Anyway after driving the new 4.5L v8TDI LC anything would be better.

Was driving behind one for a while yesterday and I would have to say they do not look practical for a commercial vehicle. At least not the dual cab version I saw.

You would be lucky to fit a couple bags of cement in the "utility" area in the back.

Seemed to be tricked up with "plastic" looking sloping panels and overall would be the worst "pick of the bunch".

mate at work has got a triton manual 2007 4wd diesel dual cab and he is quite happy with it - i got a rodeo 2007 dual cab diesel 3.0 td auto as the triton was not available in an auto in the models we can buy for work - but i am not happy with it at all as it has very noisy turbo which buzzes away disturbingly over 2000 rpm and a few other issues also - bit off your question but id stay with the triton if i was you but do take it for a long drive with no radio on and check if its been sound deadened - i am sure the rodeo i took far a test drive was
