Mike45 Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 I read that the suspension is adjustable to a "comfort" . How is that accomplished and can you really get a less jarring ride? I hope so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMHO Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 I read that the suspension is adjustable to a "comfort" . How is that accomplished and can you really get a less jarring ride? I hope so. The made the rear leaf springs longer than the outgoing Vigo - i.e. bought them up to about the same lengths as every other pickup now. It tends to help these pickups ride the smaller bumps a little better, but don't expect it to ride like an SUV with rear coils. It's not adjustable - they have 3 different leaf spring setups that are fitted to various different models - if you want the 'comfort' tuning, you'll need to buy a model that comes with it (and you'll need to sacrifice some load carrying ability). If you really want a truck that rides like an SUV, Australia will be getting a version of the Navara NP300 with rear coils later this year - so probable the Thai aftermarket (or even Nissan dealers) will work out the parts required for an "OEM" rear spring conversion for it. Note: under Thai pickup classification rules, they are not currently allowed to be sold with a sprung rear-end here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canuckamuck Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 What's with the bottle holder on the dash? It doesn't seem to fit the bottles very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That photo is usually accompanied by a caption explaining that the glovebox is chilled. There's a small AC pipe running into it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prices are up 5-15% across the range - so understandable many people's first reaction is sticker-shock, followed by justifications as to why it's unnecessary to update their Vigo Compared to prices some would have paid 10 years ago for their existing Vigo, the difference can be 40+% - for a well maintained old Vigo, it would be hard to make a case to update on that basis.

Sure your right but the 'Thai Rolls Royce' guys will buy it. Oh yeah, it's going to be the mandatory choice to qualify as a village hiso - no doubt - as will the new Fortuner I just wonder how the villagers that already spun around all the money they could to get their current Vigo/Tuna are going to be able to do it again at 15/30+% more expensive respectively Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bung Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 I saw a pre runner 4door yesterday at the shops at 803,000. This was a 2.4 manual. I was amazed that what looked like alloy wheels (which is what you would expect at that price) were in fact wheel trims over steel wheels! The big ipad looking thing was actually only a tiny dispay of about 4". No steering wheel controls. Very basic and offered nothing inside over the base model pickups. It was silver colour with black interior but out of place brown seat material. (didnt isuzu offer this for a while now along with chain driven cams and intercooler in front of the radiator? I just cant get used to the nose of the thing. It is way too over exaggerated and from some angles, actually comical. It must easily add 6 inches of unnecessary length to an already long car which wont help parking. What a rip off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
