i recently bought a 2003 nissan frontier 4x2 with an a/t. The reason i got this is for my business. It's a tough reliable truck! I'm planning to keep it for as long as i need a hauler. Any tips to improve it's ride pag walang load? During my deliveries the ride is nice almost like my former pajero fm. Pero pag na-unload na yung karga ko grbe tagtag. Tire pressure is 30 psi. Magkano kaya leaf spring to shocks conversion? TIA.

bawas isang leaf then add load plus. mag-baon ka lang ng 2 pcs 19mm combi wrench. pag wala karga leave the load plus at its loosest, and just adjust tension when loaded. if you convert to "coil springs" you'll lose your hauling capability. hmmm, pwede rin pala convert to airbag suspension.

what's a load plus? is that more economical than shock conversion? noticable ba yung improvement? also, pag nag tires like those installed sa mga cuv's would that help?

Just had the Soft Lid bed cover from Carry Boy installed on my Navara today. Pansin ko going home from Banawe na maingay yung cover kasi nagvivibrate yung canvas kapag uneven yung daan. Anyone else here had a similar experience? And how did you remedy it if ever? Thanks

Hillclimbing, hauling and flat towing and top-towing: Hilux 3.0 D-4D pa rin with the 343 Nm peak pulling force from 1400-3200 rpm. And don't be deceived that its peak pulling-force or torque being lesser than the Ranger 2.2, rather look at how this is distributed over the rpm-range if you're after utilitarian use (or as a real utility pickup). Any pickup that has a longer useable torque over a wide-rpm range, with peak torque already available at low rpm is better for a utility pickup, e.g. Hilux 3.0 D-4D, previous model Ranger 3.0 TDCi, and current D-max 3.0 Ddi-iTEQ. These pickups are no sissy for these types of job, and whether you relax the fuel pedal or keep going, the useable pull is there ;)

....Those pickups not itemised here have peaky to very peaky torque or pulling-force across the rev-range, that's why they consume a lot more fuel when tasked to do these things....

Fuel consumption (no climbing, no hauling, flat-towing nor top-towing): Ranger 2.2 TDCi

Fuel consumption (with climbing, hauling, flat-towing and top-towing): Between the Hilux 3.0 D-4D and the Ranger 2.2 TDCi, get the Hilux. Malalakas kumain ng fuel sa pahirapan mga maliliit ang makina kahit naka-VGT pa mga yan....

Better looks: Hilux 3.0 D-4D

Dependability, durability and proven reliability: Hilux 3.0 D-4D

Cost of maintenance: Hilux 3.0 D-4D's maintenance will cost less

Better parts availability in the Philippine market: Hilux 3.0 D-4D

This message was just PM'ed to me by an Australian friend of mine who is into civil construction and earthworks contracting. He owns his own company in Australia.

Copy and paste en toto:

"Hi mate, I almost forgot, the Nissan Navara in the pic is an 08 model 4 cylinder. I wouldn't recommend Navaras mate, we have nothing but problems with the 4 we have. The Dmax, Hilux are most reliable, and of course my favourite Volkswagen amarok.... I just wish it had slightly more power. We have bought 3 new Holden colorados and everyone seems to like them. cheers mate!"

Good day....
