Buying Used d22 STR Navara for touring & around town

Took one up the Canning Stock Route Tanimi and Great Central road last year. It was great 5000km of dirt and never missed a beat and half the fuel cost of a big 4wd. 9.5lts/100km ave.
I a big bloke and found it very comfortable.

rooooboy, mine is a 2004 and done lots of outback and never had a problem and i also tow, without a problem.

cheers,

Lance

We have a 2003 model, TOUGH AS.
Don't like the standard suspension, so we fixed that..

Never had a problem, other than turbo lag, when I first brought it,, ( new )
Fixed that too, with a 2 1/2 " straight thru/shortened exhaust into a hot-dog muffler,, and a dyno test..

Towed CT everywhere, never a problem,,, go like a rocket ship,, and will climb nearly anything,,6.5km/lt loaded up (nearly 4 tonne)

Local highway work, 9.5-10 km/lt,, Going up the Hume, to Albury, sitting on 112km/hr, get 10.5 km/lt,,, " Bloody Beautiful "

Some of those corrugations in the outback, made me think that it was gunna shake out the windscreen, but that is common with those roads.


Got 134k on it now,,, still going strong,, and so it should..

All round a gr8 vehicle

Still a hash ride though, but you have to expect that from a work ute.

Hi,

I have the 06 str and have already put 60k on the clock. I have done a lot of long distance highway driving including darwin to perth twice and darwin to sydney. It goes great on the highway and on average uses about 10l/100km.

I have taken it over some heavy corrigated roads and it held up fine also a fair amount of beach work which it handled quite well.

I have since fitted a roof rack (which was not wthout issues) and a dual battery system to run 80l waeko. I have nothing but good things to say about it and will no doubt continue to put it through its paces over the next few years

Hope this helps
