Camper Trailer Australia - April 2018

package, the Navara’s comes with a seven-pin

plug. Nissan is not alone here, but it would be

good to see more manufacturers following

the likes of Ford and Land Rover with a 12-pin

set-up, given just about all caravanners will

want to power a fridge when towing.

With a caravan weighing 2450kg (of which

we measured 255kg on the towball) the rear

of the Navara dropped a significant 75mm.

However, the front rose just 25mm, which is

borderline for fitting a Weight Distribution

Hitch.

Despite the TBM approaching the

maximum permitted for the Navara, the rig

was very stable when towing. There was no

side-to-side movement and also no pitching.

"THE ENGINE’S RESPONSE OFF THE MARK IS EXCELLENT,

WITH ONLY A MOMENTARY DELAY BEFORE REVS BUILD UP

AND THE NAVARA TAKES OFF"

The Nissan ST-X offered a very stable ride when
