Camper Trailer Australia - April 2018

W

ith most 4WD utes now

offering a 3500kg towing

capacity, they have become

a popular wagon-alternative

for thoswe wishing to tow a camper or van.

While some top-shelf utes have become

pricey, they’re still much better value and

more nimble compared with 4WD wagons

with the same heavy duty 3500kg towing

capacity.

Here we have the latest coil-sprung NP300

Nissan Navara ST-X Dual Cab, which has

been updated with improved suspension

damping – a key criticism of the previous

model. Nissan has also deleted the sunroof

from the standard equipment list and made it

a $1000 option. Gone from MY17 vehicles are

the floor-mounted rear cup holder and the

NP300 tailgate badge.
