Anyway if you want a Grunty ute you can forget the ranger, it's about the same as the STX 450. If you want power and a smooth engine get a V6 STX550 they are a massive step ahead in the grunt stakes.

Nissan is old technology and high maintenance, brakes,rotor etc. why don't you buy a station wagon?

Yea didn't think so.... Is it a 2wd is it?

43k auto with tow bar, tuff deck and tonneau cover inclusive of GST only 4x2 $9k extra for 4x4, best selling ute in NZ can't be all that bad.

Agree it's old tec but still as good as a ranger. But your only worried about power and the 550 has shit loads of it.

I need a ute for tax purposes. Also I need a capable 4wd for off road and a 2.5 ton plus tow rating, what station wagon can do that?

So you were comparing the price of a 2wd ranger to a 4wd amarok. Mate your logic is a worry.

Never ever said 4wd and you would deduct that from the price. If it was a 4x4 for that price I would have bought two and sold you one:yaeh am not durnk:

Put you big trailer on with a couple of tonne on it up a hill, like the Kaimais or Rimutakas if yr happy go for it. I believe 8 speed means more working parts and no doubt under powered, but hey that's just my thoughts

Above you compare the price of a 4wd amarok to your 2wd ranger do you not?

Still 9 k different, the new Holdens a good deal they give heaps of stuff with them
