David Towe should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Had 2 D22 Navaras (still got one of them, an 03 base model cab/chassis) and found them to be great. True the crew cab (I had and have now sold) is small inside but it was reliable and in 3.0td has a 3 tonne towing capacity. We also had an 06 Hilux 2 wd 4.0 litre petrol, stay clear, what a lemon with poor build quality and wouldn't pull be mum off the loo, sold it with only 40,000 kms on the clock. Also still got an 07 Rodeo 3.0td 4wd LX cab/chassis, brilliant!! 138kmh (soon got back to legal speeds when I realised what it had crept up to) with 3 tonnes of trailer on the back up the Pacific H'way and will do Sydney to Lakeside and back on 4.5 tanks of diesel. Just taken delivery of a current model LX Colorado 3.0 td (rebadged Rodeo), haven't towed with it yet but they are a comfortable ute for a long trip. The Navara has a better turning circle but I'd buy a Colorado over the Navara.
Hope this helps.
