Hey tuners which one will be the better buy.

All the 2019 Nissan NP300 Frontier 4×2 XE 2.5L 7speed auto or the the Isuzu D-max 4×2 LS 2.5 intercooler 5speed auto (Fully loaded)

The Frontier XE is $255k

The D-Max is $230k. (With additional Roll bar/ bed liner cover, strut installation on the rear tray and some accessories) will come up to $242k.

Look at the resale value before making a decision
Also look at the tech thread: viewforum.php?f=41

Thanks hong kong phooey

After going from manual to auto i not going to buy a manual van again unless i getting an exceptional deal .
Automatic is so much less stressful, less tiring to drive . All the talk about auto cannot haul stuff is a bunch of tata

Just my preference.

Nissan might have a higher resale value in TnT.

Cool cool.
Appreciate the feedback.

Isuzu, 4JJ1-TC engine is far more reliable, it's used in their light commercial trucks. I believe it has a B10 reliability rating of 500,000km which means only 10% of these engines will require a major rebuild before 500,000 kms. In Australia Isuzu DMax is considered bullet proof.

I owned an older Navara which gave me a slew of problems after five years of buying it from the firm. Thankfully parts were abundant & relatively cheap.
I owned the 2015 Isuzu and I sold in 2017 for reasons not to do with the performance of the van. It was a workhorse. No problems at all.

Which stealership you rather deal with OP?

I never dealt with both 'stealership'

Or cool cool.
Appreciate your feedback man

Dmax isn't as powerful or won't win a drag race against the nav however the engine is bulletproof.
There is a new model dmax coming in 2020. The new model is an absolute beauty

Truly appreciate your feedback.
Yes the 2020 model is pretty decent.
I spoke with a sales rep from Southern Sales about the 2020 model coming in to Trini.
He said he doesn't think they'll come anytime soon.

They almost all say they won't get the new model soon as their commission won't also be coming in soon

hmmm

For real. They say that so you wud spend your hard earn $$$ to buy the current model and in approx 3 months a new model arrives. If you cud hold on for the new model then u should.
