Good morning all
This is my first post here, have been browsing the forum for a few days now and seems like a top site!
Im in the market for a dual cab 4x4 and would prefer a model from 2004 to 2006. I have narrowed it down to either a hilux or navara, so im just looking for options and information on the D22.
My price range is between 17 to 24 grand. Im not a hardcore 4wder, its main use would be medium 4wd tracks, some mud, beach and dirt trails. Im an avid fisherman so its why I want to keep the ute as its easier to clean out, doesnt damage the interior.
So from my research so far there are both petrol and diesel options available, 3.3 in the petrol? and the 3.0ltr turbo diesel? Is the diesel the same as in the patrols that have known to have issues or are there certain year models where they have been ironed out?
What would be the rough fuel economy for both engine types? Does the diesel have enough power for soft sand? Im not one for high speed driving so no worries there, currently own a petrol dual cab ute.
As for mods, If it doesnt already have it I would add on a canopy, bar, lights, tyres, 2inch lift and snorkel (if a diesel) so just the normal stuff, nothing hardcore
I do like the shape of the D22 and after browsing through members rides and other threads, they seem like a top 4wd. The diesel engine is the only thing im worried about a little. Any info would be greatly appreciated
Thanks!
