[QUOTE="Cowabunga, post: 5394058, member: 718"] There are zero changes to the gearboxes. I highlighted the brake difference and mentioned that it has zero implication for the owner/driver apart from rear disks having the potential to rust and needing more maintenance. There are several different versions of suspension on the Navara. They have been re-engineered since launch if you like. Twice as I understand it. Nissan have also strengthened the chassis of the Navara in a minor way since launch. I've already proved that the gusset under the chassis that has been claimed to be the Mercedes strengthening has also been done on the Navara for over 12 months [Illustrated in pictures]. Plus Nissan actually have the option of leaf springs, a long and medium bed as well as the shorty with double cab that is the only Mercedes offer. The V6 is a different kettle of fish and is available for ordering now. It will have Mercedes' own 7G-Tronic automatic with two speed full-time4wd transfer case, just like the GLE [optional two speed] or GLS. Along with a Mercedes engine of course. Now THAT is what I call 're-engineering', not the fluff and bulls**t heard so far. [/QUOTE]
