Navara D40 2010 model

Do the Nissan Navara D40 2010 models have free wheeling capability?
If not can free wheeling hubs be fitted?

Welcome to the forums.

I don't think the new ones do but there is a thread somewhere about adding it to an older model I'm sure. Try searching or just looking through the drive train section. Anything can be done if you really want it bad enough it;s a matter of how bad you want it and how much you want to pay.

It was my understanding that all D40 models had auto hubs.

This means that unless you've engaged 4WD, the front axles are free-wheeling automatically.

There are some that can be modified to fit a D40, but your looking at $2500+, and you will need to find different wheels to suit too.

Nope, not auto hubs, the front wheels diff and driveshaft are always turning, lock up is done by the transfercase.

It wouldn't make enough difference in economy to warrant the expense of fitting the hubs would it?

I don't mind the fixed axles, less things to break!

are we talking about all d40 or just 2010 models?

All D40 are the same.
As far as economy goes, probably not alot in it, If you jack up the front it very easy to spin one wheel, so there isn't a lot of resistance/drag in the gearing, bearings etc.

Are the Mitsubishi Tritons and the Toyota Hilux the same?
