Hello all Navara gurus! Ow be you all?
I am a (hopefully) soon to be Navara owner and I'm after some advice if possible please.
I currently have my own little landscape gardening business in and around the Southwest (Devon/Cornwall) and have been using vans for the past few years. I currently have a Mercedes Vito that other than the typical rust issues is a great little van.
The reason I want a change is that now I have a trailer I find myself wanting to be able to tow more weight than my van can handle on a regular on going basis.
I have had a guy offer to swap his 4 door 05 Navara sport (I'm guessing this is the D22?) for my 04 Vito once I finish its respray. It has apparently had an engine recondition and it has 162,000 miles on it. My concerns are what are the major issues I should be looking out for when viewing it? And secondly (most importantly) do you Navara owners think I can haul my tools around in the back. I have strimmers, mowers, and hand tools that I need with me daily that will have to be under the snug top as I need them locked away and can't lock them in trailer as its open topped. I am just worried about the bed space on uk trucks.
I lived in America for 5 years and my mothers Nissan Titan is by far the best truck I've bombed around in, if the Navara's are anything like their big cousin I'm in for a treat!
Thanks for sticking with it all!
Josh
