Are You The Next Nissan Mid-Size Truck

by Derek Kreindler

Published: June 9th, 2014

That soon-to-be-launched Nissan truck we showed you a few days ago? Apparently, this isn’t it.

Even though the Nissan Navara, sold in world markets (including Thailand, where these pictures were apparently taken), is basically the same as our Frontier, Nissan’s PR team has apparently disavowed any link between this new truck and the next Frontier. We’ll see on June 11th, when Nissan takes the wraps off their new truck.

What I'm hoping for is the 2.8 ISF Cummins to be available in the Navara with the 7 spd auto or the 6spd manual. I do hope the off road capability of the Navara has been improved, as the D40 or actually all Navara's have been relatively weak off road performers. The 720 Nissan pickups and D20/22s with their torsion bar suspension, and D40 (Americanised Nissan pickup) have been lacking in the off road arena compared to the Hilux and other compacts/midsize pickups. If the next Nissan is built for the global market and not LA, then it should be a good performer. By the Navara's launch in Thailand I'm hoping this is a global truck, not a 'detuned and dumbed down' US idea of a midsizer.

The looks are not that bad, but the dark brown color is retro 70's. Next they will bring back burnt orange and pea green.

  @Jeff S, I'm really looking forward to the Navara release on Wednesday. Hopefully it isn't like the Colorado here, a new vehicle that a little subpar. I want Nissan and Toyota to lift the bar a little. I do know the Ranger, BT50 and Amarok can be bettered. I'm also hoping for the little Cummins diesel. If it comes out with the Cummins I bet the Cummins will be around 195hp and 380ftlb, which is normal for that size diesel. The FE will be the most significant. With the up and coming EuroVI for use it will be important to see what Cummins (if we get it) has in store.

  Neither the brown nor the burnt orange would bother me. In fact, being a bit of a fox hound, I'd actually like one in a foxy color--maybe have some graphics or paint work done to enhance the foxy impression. Me? I'm sick of red, black, blue, grey, gray, white and silver. But at least they finally brought blue back; we didn't even have that available for quite a few years.

Arthur Dailey What a load of cow patties from fat cat politicians, swilling at the trough of their rich backers. Business is all for `free markets` when it benefits them. But are very quick to hold their hands out for government tax credits, tax breaks or government contracts. And business executives are unwilling to limit their power over their workers. Business executives are trained to `divide and conquer` by pitting workers against each other for raises or promotions. As for the fat cat politicians what about legislating a living wage, so workers don't have to worry about holding down multiple jobs or begging for raises? And what about actually criminally charging those who hire people who are not legally illegible to work? Remember that it is business interests who regularly lobby for greater immigration. If you are a good and fair employer, your workers will never feel the need to speak to a union. And if you are not a good employer, then hopefully 'you get the union that you deserve'.
