Guys, Anyone noticed the Nissan Navara (Current Model) towing capacity is 2800-3000KG depending on what you read. The new Hilux is 2200KG. Both cars weigh almost the same , have the same brakes etc, so I cannot understand why the huge difference in favour of the Navara.? Any ideas..?

About a year ago they tested the Dmax/Hilux/triton(sportero)/ Navara thing with towing in mind - the Navara just blew them all out of the water - why? - who knows - but legally the Nav just slays them.
NAVARA ALWAYS TAKE THE WIN.
