Around 2007 I looked at the Navara 2.5 CRD ST-X to replace my 90 series Prado TD.
After it was all said and done I finally convinced the dealer that I wasn't going to sign up there and then, I noted what the vehicle lacked over my
old truck.
Least of which was the poor ground clearance, who makes a 4WD that low to start with? One of our 4WD Club members had lots of trouble.
Next:
No where convenient for a second battery
Only one fuel tank, which had 80 litres, where the
old truck had 150 standard.
This silly chrome roll bar which I didn't want but had to have.
No decent underbody protection
Look, I think it was a nice vehicle and it drove
well, I loved the 6 speed box, but it lacked too much as a standrad vehicle.
It just was too hard and expensive to set up as a decent tourer...so I kept the old Prado and still have it.
