Happy nissan owner here, just ticked over 40k and its not missed a beat (not that it should of course)
its economical, comfortable, pulls well, and the auto box is very good. I like mine a lot
Cant comment on the hilux, but as a new pickup, its hard to beat the Navara on value imo

The Navara is great if you don't plan to keep it long term. Pay the lease and be shot of it when the warranty runs out.
Long term you have to go with the Hilux. The Taliban can't be wrong.

Nasty problems with the sump. Mate has just got shot of his 17 plate. Only 40k miles. Was looking at a 5k bill to repair . Managed to get 10 for it trading in to a new Nissan. 2nd one I know of that has had same issues

The sump? 'Nasty sump issues' sounds like interesting weekend reading. Do tell us more…..

I agree but then you buy the Hilux or risk something catastrophic going bang/snapped chassis type problems in another vehicle. Fords- engine goes crump, Nissan, chassis goes crump or engine goes bang. At least the Toyota you know will still be running in 10 years because it was built properly to start with.

I'm no mechanic but I gather it something to do with the sump corroding and the pump drawing up the filings into the engine. We use the same local garage and it's the second ranger he seen with same issue

So rusty sumps? And rusting from the inside with all that oil sloshing around. Well I never! And the rust being bad enough and in such volume that it sucks up through the oil pump's pre-filter and bypasses the engine oil filter as well apparently.
Sounds like a very tall tale to me. Someone may have been yanking your chain I'm afraid, especially as your example is just three and a bit years of age, if that.

He's maybe referring to this (which is the only engine issue result which comes up for in any search). What's the chances its this forum
Ford ranger 2.2 engine siezed
I have a 2013 Ford ranger with 2.2 litre engine, just coming up to 4 year old and has done 58000 miles. The ranger is serviced by Ford garage. This week the engine stopped while driving and after rolling onto grass verge I tried to start it again but was dead. Had it recovered to Ford garage...

Never knew my 2011 isuzu seemingly has a rear differential lock. Wonder what operates it

The oil pump failure had long been sorted before 2017 production and certainly was nothing whatsoever to do with rusty sumps. It was/is a weakness in the alloy casting of the pump drive. There is a modified pump that can and should be fitted to 2014 and earlier models and all LR Defender and Transit fitted with the same 2.2 and 3.2 litre Diesel engines.He's maybe referring to this (which is the only engine issue result which comes up for in any search).

So I doubt very much indeed whether he is referring to that well known issue.
