New to Forum Seeking advice on 4.2TD Bakkie
Posted: 30 Sep 2017 12:47
Hi Everyone,
I am new to the forum and would like to introduce myself.
I am from Windhoek in Namibia. My car I bought was a Navara 2.5 diesel double cab. Thereafter I owned a Navara King Cab again 2.5. Lovely vehicle.
Initially I was also Toyota and Hilux bedonnerd, but a test drive in the Navara opened my eyes and I have found the value proposition of Nissan to be better.
I have an affinity for Patrols. Nearly bought a Y60 but vehicle was very old and a little worked with 300 000 km on. It was the 4.2 Petrol.
Thereafter I found a N/A 4.2 GL 2014 with 60 000km on. However when I tested the vehicle I could not get it over 100km/h. I knew it would frustrate me endlessly when heading out of town.
Now I have found a 4.2 intercooled TD Pick Up. 2012 model with 59 000 km on. Wrap around bullbar, replacement bumper at back with spare wheel and spare wheel carrier. I am conisidering the car for farm work and will use it to head out to farm also. This is 100km away.
Now the question: Does this car considering it is a TD perform the same as the GL I tested and mentioned above. I would like a bit of speed. Nothing Fast and Furious, just for overtaking and such. I cruise at 120km/h anyway.
I am seriously considering this vehicle....see pics
Sorry if I posted in wrong section
