If you are after car like the Pathfinder Ti 550 is worth a look at. A little bit pricey at $13k more than the Navara but has everything the STX 550 has and a lot more including a 3500kg towing capacity. I had to go for the ute as I have a 28' fifth wheeler so a wagon was out of the question...

I have had an STX 550 now for just over a month and have travelled about 4500ks and I am loving it. The 5000k service is optional, like most diesels they offer a mid service if driven under extreme conditions. I can confirm they will not hold gears in manual mode if you put the boot into it...

If you fit one of these chips to a car with an auto it is entirely possible to cruise at less revs. The reason being that for autos it is not a direct translation of engine revs to wheel revs as Old.Tony has pointed out. The torque converter allows a degree of slippage between the engine and...

I am actually interested in finding if anybody with the Nissan in dash GPS/Reverse camera has been able to connect a second or more cameras. The rolling shutter tonneaus I am looking at are either one from Quig.com.au or a South African one sold through Blueys Ute World. These are similar to...

I have been in the insurance industry for over 20 years and I find it amusing everytime I read comments like this. Despite what people think, insurance companies do not look for reason not to pay claims using technicalities like this, well at least the one I work for doesn't. We do have...

It is more than just the stereo for the extra money, it appears that it also gets most of the features from the Pathfinder Ti 550 including electric leather seats with memory. He showed me the memo but wouldn't give me a copy as it hasn't been announced yet.

Visited the local dealer on the way home tonight, will look at placing an order in the next week or 2. They have announced changes already for the 550. Now have a set of options that include the sat nav, Bose sound system, camera etc from the Ti 550 along with a few other extras for an extra...

Looking at ordering a 550 shortly and wondering anybody has feedback on having some of the 550s option left off? I am getting one so I can tow a fifth wheel caravan so I can't have the tonneau, sports bar and maybe even the tub liner. As these appear to be fitted once they land in Oz you...
