    Do you like the hilux? Thinking of one myself but found it very bouncy on the road.

    its reliable but bit dated at this stage, like the look of the navara and dmax blade

    The Navara crewcab and the Pathfinder from 2005 to 2015 had a serious chassis problem. A crossmember behind the cab rotted from the inside out! It would not always show up on a visual inspection. Google it you'll see what I mean, best of luck.

    I had 2007 Pathfinder from new. No hard work for the vehicle, used as 7 seater family vehicle. Driveshaft went twice in 8 years!!!

    If you want a crew cab to do 200,000km buy a Hilux .if it’s for rough work and towing go for Dmax and if it’s for comfort ,looks and still able for the hard stuff pay the extra for a Ranger .
    Navara and Mercedes are the same machine and neither are as good as the others .The L200 is another good one for work but the very prone to turbo issues if you put the foot down
