G-PROFESSIONAL
Merc’s single cab-chassis Gelandewagen might be the ultimate off-road ute (and load-carrier, with its
massive 2080kg payload) but it’s also the most expensive single-cab 4WD you can buy.

PAJERO
With all-independent suspension, Pajero has class-leading on-road handling. Effective traction control
and rear diff lock make it very handy off-road, too. Sharp base price makes it a great all-rounder.

NISSAN has thrown its darkest accessories and decals at the range-topping
Navara ST-X dual cab 4x4, to create the Navara N-SPORT Black Edition.
Limited to a run of just 500 units, it features a range of Nissan Genuine
Accessories including a black sports bar, black nudge bar, a fitted LED light
bar, black fender flares and 18-inch black alloy wheels. Up front, smoky
chrome fog lamp finishes surround a black gloss honeycomb grille, while
a black soft tonneau covers the tray. N-SPORT badging and Black Edition
decals are scattered from head to tail.
“The N-SPORT Black Edition gives the Navara a tough-looking
makeover,” Nissan Australia managing director Richard Emery said. “Black
is all the rage at the moment and certainly makes the Nissan Navara ST-X
Dual Cab stand out. With its aggressive but stylish look and limited numbers,
we think this will be a popular variant for ute buyers.”
The six-speed manual Black Edition is priced from $54,490; the seven-
speed auto version asks $56,990.Brought to you bywwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww.4x.4x.4x.4x.4x.4.4x..4x.4x.4.4x.4x.4.4x.4x.4x.4.4.4x.4x.4x.4x.4x.4x.4x.4x.4x.4x.4x.4x.4x.4x 4 4x 4 4x4x 44 4x 4 4x 44 4x4x 4 4x 44 4x4x4x 44 4x4x4x 4 4x4x4x 44 4xxx4au4a4au4au4au4au4au 4 4au 4 4a4au4au4a 4 4a4au 4 4a 44 4a4a4a 4 4au 4 4a4a4au4a4au4a4a 4444 4a4au4au4au4au 44 4au4a 444 4au4au 4 4au4a4a 44 4au4au4auaaauauaaaaauaauaaaaauauaaaaaaauuuuuuuuuustrstrstrstrstrstrstrstrstrststrstrststrstrstrstrstrstrstrstrstrstrstrstrstrttrtttrtrtrtrtrrrrraaliaaaaalialaalialaliaaalaliaaalialialiaalialiaaaaaaalililillillililiiiiiiiiiiiaaca.a.caa.cacaaaa.caacaaaaaaaaa.aaa.ca.caaa.caaaaaaaaa.ca.caa.caa.aaaaaa.ca.ca.ca.ca.ca.cacaaaa.ca.ca.ca.ca...cccccomomomoomomomoooomomomooomomomomoomommmmmmmmm.mmmmmm.mm.mmmmm.mmm.mmm.mmmmmmmm.m.m.m.m.m.mm.mmm.mmmmmmm......auauauauauauauauauauauauauauaauauauauaauauauaauaaaauaaaaaaauauuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu 171117171771717711771717717717717717711171711117117717711777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777
