.... tow when it breaks down.

I hope that is true. I want reliability in a 4wd but I can't take it on a 20 minute highway run when I'm in the bush somewhere when the light comes on. I'm too scared of needing a

Wholesale automatics told me that it couldn't be done. I'm almost ready to buy so it's interesting to hear others views on the value of having HDC.

Is it a big deal the ST doesn't have Hill Descent Control? I'm told it can't be fitted to the ST and there is not an option of a torque converter lockup switch because of the type of transmission in the Navara. Thanks

That all sounds like good news. It sounds like there's less or no special driving requirements and the thing is a lot less likely to block up and need replacing.

I'm looking at getting a new NP300 Navara but, as expected, can't yet see many tonneau cover options. What's the best out there and has anyone got a heads up on what soon to be available? Also, I've heard bad things about the slip in bed liners and have been advised to check out the spray on...
