Pickup for overlanding
HI well I've got another kid on the way and the trucks just not going to be big enough for me my wife three kids and two dog so we are now lookiing for somthing new.
I'm thinking of a Nissan D22 double cab Pick up we just done a trip around namibia for a month and hired one down there and was really suprised how well it handled the rough gravel roads and the the off road sections,
The only reall issues we had was when decending to the river beds it would ground out on the break over point but i think this can be fixed with a slight lift and bigger wheels the other thig was it was a bit under powered but it this is because it was a non turbo engine and i think the uk spec ones are all turboed?.
So what I'd like to know is dose any one have exspiorence with the Uk spec 2.5l D22,
whats it's good and bad points and is it a viable option for an Overland truck for a trip say to mongolia, or even a north to south africa trip
thanks for your help
