I would go to each dealership and try the clutch on each of them. That will help you sort out what is acceptable and not.
I tried a Ranger and I found it decent. Most clutches are light enough now.

i've tried navara's clutch last year. heavy
strada naman... long deep travel but seems to be light enough. lemme try revisiting the mitsu stealership this week... the strada has the smallest turning radius due to it's shorter wheelbase (though the bed looks like it overhangs a lot, which kinda limits the departure angle). but it's got power windows, the hilux are hand crank wtf![]()
just got back from toyota. clutch on the hilux isn't bad. i think it's light enough to daily drive here in my province. meron pa rear diff lock, the other base model 4x4 don't have this.
i like the UN peacekeeper look LOL (pic taken from the vid above):

How reliable is the Navara 4wd over the Hilux 4wd? Such as parts availability and such. I have seen Terras in social media that it has this weak link the front suspension component and also confirm by someone I know.
So far Nissan hasn't been spending r&d on their trucks. The 2022 frontier in the US got new sheet metal and afforded the Adas system.
Remember when Mercedes Benz used the navarra platform and couldnt sell lol. Xclass?
Nissans full size truck the titan is on the chopping block.
Nissan navarra sales in Europe will stop next month.
Nissan South Africa dropped the 2.3L in favor 2.5L diesel.. hmmmm baket kaya..
Random thoughts lng...
Ginamit din as military vehicle yung D40 F-Alpha platform under ACMAT ALTV. Badge engineered Mercedes X-class, Suzuki Equator, & Renault Alaskan so which means the platform has no problem kaya carry-over lang sa US version.
Medyo natatagtagan lang ako sa dual-rate rear coil springs neto D23 V2, pero all in all sulit sa features. Yung D40 ko buhay pa, im keeping it with the D23.

If this is true, mapapahanga talaga ako- they put it through the worst use (battle tested in the dust of Afghanistan/Africa) and ok pa rin. Talo mga PUJ dito!
Those mujahideen technicals probably never had to go into tight parking basement parking with extremely low headroom though... (ops, sumabit yung 20mm, i-atras mo!) LOL...
Got to checkout the bt50,
Parang theres something missing, walang angas factor, I dont know maybe its the color grey, medyo lame din ang pagkagrey.
Have you guys seen it in person? What do you think?
