Hi Fellas....
1st time post here as I'm looking / researching in trading in our Car for a Dual Cab 4X4.... My 1st choice is the Navara, but this will depend on what I find out about them.....currently I have a little Zook Vitara that I use as my Toy for Bushbashing and some exploring in SEQ..... We also have a Prado that the missus drives and I'm looking for a Dual Cab 4x4 that will be able to tow our van while being able to carry kids bikes, etc....
I'm looking at the D22/D40 shape Navara's as these are the ones the I reckon look the best and preferably a TD but not quite sure as I've heard/read some concerns in relation to the engines.... V6 may be a option if they are intially cheaper to buy but unsure of the economy of these V6 models.....
The D22 is physically smaller in size than the D40.... is that correct?
Things that I have found out to Date about the D22/D40 DualCabs
(Please correct me if I'm wrong or missed something):
I've looked a bit through the forum but can't find a post/topic that lists the things to look out for when buying 2nd and what problems certain models may have.... Is there such a list or do I just have to go through the sections individually looking for posts that may point to a potentail problem ?
Any information that owners can give me or point me in the right direction would be much appreciated

- 1998 - D22 Navara 1st came out in a NonTurbo 3.2D or a 2.4ltr 4cyl Petrol (none of which I really want) - ALL Manuals at this point
- 2000 - D22 3ltr EFI V6 Navara 1st came out, this replaced the 4cyl Petrol version - ALL Manuals at this point
- 2002 - D22 saw the 1st D22 with a 3ltr TD (Mechanical Injection) - ALL Manuals at this point
- 2005 - D40 replaced the D22 with a 4ltr EFI V6 & a 2.5ltr TD (Electronic Injection) with AUTOS now in either Petrol or Diesel versions - ALL D40's are physically BIGGER than the older D22's (ie more 2nd row leg room, etc) -- Is this Bigger SIZE comment correct ??
(D22 cont'd to be made up to 2006 for the 3ltr TD (Mechanical Injection) & up to 2005 for the 3ltr EFI V6 Navara - ALL still Manuals) - 2007 - D22 (Smaller in size) came out with a 2.5ltr TD (Electronic Injection) - Diesel version only and ALL Manuals only as well
- 2011 - D40 (550) V6 3ltr Turbo Diesel (7spd AUTO ONLY) was introduced // D40 & D22 (Smaller in size) cont'd as in previous years
