I dont think there is any software updates so your wating your money going through a dealer to do this straight forward service.

There has just been a recall put out for the manufacturer supplied canopy. I believe the side safety glass windows could explode under certain conditions. Worth looking into.

Are they serious, it would be cheaper to put in a new head unit. I know i would be telling them where to go.

I agree with old.Tony, Just ake it easy, use the manual shifter for going up steepish hills. The 2.3 does a pretty good job but you definately know your towing so dont push it too ha r d and it will look after you. As for possible temp issues, i didnt have any but if your in doubt, worth the...

It was the Motorama group at Browns Plains. After going through this process, I would definitely recommend to get your local mechanic do the log book service and when if only when Nissan get their finger out and develop a software update maybe consider using the dealership for the upgrade. As...

Well I ended up getting the ute serviced at a dealer. first real service, just wanted to make sure all was good to their specifications. It took 2.5hrs to change the oil and perform the inspections. When finished, I asked if there were any software updates performed, they said no. I questioned...

Geez, somebody has a complexion:dummy: I read reviews all the time and atleast 95% are either paid advertisements from the manufacturer - very biased opinions or are not comparing apples with apples. The top 8 utes are not the same - they are designed and targeted to certain buyers. The Ranger...

I drove a ranger and it was crap so really dont know what you are taking. All utes have there ups and downsides, i picked the Navara because it suits my needs. Dont tell me your comparing the D22 with the D23????

The d23 does have a capped price service that is currently set at $527 for the 20k service. Maximum capped service is the 60k service at $700 plus dollars. Couldnt remember exact figure. As for an ecu retune and a software upgrade, the upgrade may remove the engine remap pending on the upgrade...

Thanks guys. What I hate is I can do the services and inspections myself but have to have a certified mechanic sign the books. The only think a mechanic cant do is the software updates to which I will need to go through Nissan to get done?

Unfortunately my deal didn't include free servicing. It is now a 12mth service or 20000km. But never the less, still charging $500 for an oil change and visual checks is just crazy. Wanted to find out if anyone has had this done at a dealer and if there were any software upgrades to be done...

G'day all Well my ute is now due for it's service, called around a few dealerships and they are all asking $527 for the fixed service charge. Dont know about you but $527 for an oil and filter change is a bloody joke? Is there anything i'm missing here? Has anyone done this and were there any...

So with your analysus above, to compensate for the large sagging experienced when towing, i use a WDH and this works pretty well but i dont think its the cure due to the WDH's limitations. Would air bag suspension be the answer?

Im definately interested as well. Please let me kow when its all up and running. Cheers

The digital figure does look good, unfortunately its simply not accurate. This is a known issue and Nissan are sorting out a fix in the not too distant decade. Glad you enjoy the ute, it does the job well.
