Im sorry you totally missed the point of the NP300 bakkie it's purpose is to be utility oriented, for farms, mines, plantations etc... and its perfect and well priced for what its purpose is not like a hilux or ranger which is no longer a utility vehicle over priced and weak at carrying loads.
I bought one in 2010. Drove 230000 km and are still driving it. About 90% were on very bad dirt roads in the northern parts of Namibia with a 1000 kg load. At 3000 Rpm (115 kph) I still get 12 km per lt. If have not experience any technical problems. I just bought a new Nissan NP 300 2.5D High DC.
That’s pretty awesome you were able to get so much out of it. I guess it does in a way come down to the driver, the conditions and how the vehicle is used. I am sad in the time I had it, it didn’t serve me well! Because I know how hard they can be worked!
Were you aware that you were buying one of the oldest pick up designs when you bought it? There is a reason why it is so much cheaper than the competition. It was replaced by the Navara ages ago but Nissan pulled the VW Citi golf trick by continuing building this vehicle as a cheap basic vehicle for as you mention a certain niche market. Safety and comfort has evolved since this pick up was designed 20 ?? years ago. Honestly, I think you made a lot of effort to just tell us you did not do your homework before you bought a cheap pick up.
It seams to me that you bought it without doing one bit of research on it, and than you spill your frustration. There are a lot of mobile cup holders out there that do not come close to the reliability this work horse offers. And the ability to make it your own exists still. Mate this video is more about yourself than it is about the vehicle.@@adrivewithty7356
How do u expect nice features on a basic. Higher tier nissan bakkies do have cup holders, infotainment systems and a built in radio. Also they're color matched with alloy wheels. Please give it a break it's a basic! For that matter it does its job quite well.
Iam currently driving this bakkie its 2016 model and the reason why, is because my dad owned one from 2009 and it’s still going engine never opened still running smooth its on 409000km and it’s still working till date.
Tjom Respect the video but I don’t think you are grasping what the np300 is built for. The car is essentially a 20 year old car, so yes it has 20 year old styling. Put it simply, this car is a cheap workhorse, the car was built properly 20 years and Nissan stuck to it, call me kiss ass but this car isn’t designed to have you being comfortable it’s designed to be a workhorse and it’s dam good at it. Cheap, reliable and strong, that’s what you need to understand
Best selling vehicle in Mexico, where pickups count almost as much as in the US but hard work utilitarian credentials count even more.... but for some reason they are sold with european safety options (you can see crash tests of the Euro NP300 vs the African NP300 and they are sooooo different)
Really? And how is the reliability in Mexico? That’s interesting they are selling it in euro spec? You would think in a bug market there, they would be different!
@@adrivewithty7356 no, actually they used to follow Latin NCAP, and those standards are pretty weak and saftey regulation is minimal. But japanese brands face serious saftey allegations due to the fact that car dealerships kept selling early 2000s model vehicles with little saftey. On the other hand pretty much all Mexican cars are also sold in the US and American press is really influential in Mexico and americans too started to notice problems with mazdas saftey reinforcements, problems with nissans traction control in emergency turns ect. that pushed the dealers to put much more emphasis in saftey standards by simply installing saftey components from the euro market despite NOT being required to do so by law. Saftey aside Mexican car market is a mix of south american and us models ( you have dacias-renaults, fiats like the ones you find in brasil, india, eastern europe AND Lincoln, Cadillac, Buick, Acura, Infinity, Lexus, Chrysler, RAM that you only find in Canada and US) but no European specific brands (no Opel, no Italian fiats, no skoda, no Lancia, no Alfa Romeo, no Rover). on average people used to buy Pickups and large sedans but now SUVs are taking over.
@@adrivewithty7356 reliability is a major concern, that's why despite people having american-style preferences they buy japanese (big sedans like nissan altima, maxima toyota camry or pickups from honda, nissan and fiat. more utilitarian ones) but it rally depends... up north is a huge desert, down south is rain forest so cars vary a lot, and in Mexico City you are at 2700mts of altitude and engines are under more stress due to the air atmospheric pressure so many reliable cars tend to struggle (like volvo and mercedes) and some more battle-horse ones tend to last more (that's the reason why nissan tends to be more reliable than toyota while the exact opposite happens in the US )
That such an incredible insight into the different environments in Mexico! Wow. It’s scary how each place would need or require different vehicles. Should make moving around quite tough
So far I'm happy i can see you have a second hand one. 90000 km and no shaking body or anything like that the one are driving is just old and buggered. Farming with myne and still 100 best work bakkie price and functionality aswell.
That is a workhorse designed to be simple, it is not a luxury pickup truck. You are reviewing it for the wrong reasons. You should load it, make it work and tell us how it performs.
if you're looking for a luxury vehicle then go to the firm. my dad and both drive one of this both the dual cab and single cab models and my only issue was not fixing the suspension after 5 years lol. not luxurious at all but they hold load good, get to point A and B , pretty basic honestly. Really good for companies that require workers to drive the vehicles. the AC works well too. not that much speed but its for work. offroad customization works well too. Has the fully loaded older models with nicer interiors and sun roofs but they carry the YD25 and the ZD30 which is faster than the base 4x2 TD27 which competes with the 4x2 yd25 but its slower however its the TD is a beast that you need to try to break and it can also take customization to be faster. The QD32 however is a beast and again its not the fastest but why the fuq would you try to run a single cab past 200? not having much weight at the back it'll flip despite designs. if can get a few of these imported to my country i'll be happy. the navara and the np300 have a league of features but ive met a few np owners who has their engines knocking because they didn't change their oils on time. im upgrading to a hilux because of resale value and NPs are not durable, ford is Fix Or Repair Daily and isuzu is basically buying it to resell it for a quarter the price later. the only time mine ever failed me is because of neglect, i highly recommend
I am sitting on 40,000km. It is a 2019 model. I don't have the 4x4 option though. I had multiple issues with the suspension, steering (that staff at Nissan admitted was a design flaw when turning too sharp), doors have rubbers in them that has to be replaced ever so often and regarded as wear and tear that I have to pay for to be fixed. If I have a heavy load to carry the steering has play and slides all over the road. Seating is super uncomfortable even though I am only 5'11. I agree with the cup holders. There is hardly space in the back to store something behind the seat. You have to unwind the window to adjust the mirrors. Radio pops off when you hit a pothole. Don't hit a pothole!!! I agree!!! Just found out the shock broke off. Second time I've had this issue. Our business had a Mitsubishi Colt that we drove for 15 years and never had issues until the end. My definition of the Nissan NP300 is that it is a cheap car that just happens to have a big bucket in the back.
Bro, you don't know when you are well off. The Nissan Hardbody is a terrific workhorse which has been priced unbelievably competitively. I wish we could get these cars at that price here in the UK, but we can't, they aren't marketed here. The offerings here is a high tech, way more expensive to buy, and going to cost you a lot more to keep serviced and in good working order. And soon it, the Navarra, is to be withdrawn altogether as well. Whereas the NP300 is basic, so any mechanic or DIY guy can manage to fix it. The fact Nissan have kept the car unchanged for so long is a benefit and testament to the vehicles absolute utility. Spare parts are readily available and cheap. Get a newer design (of which there are plenty) and you will be paying through the nose to the mechanic shop every time a sensor misfires. As for your size, well at 6ft 5" you are hardly likely to be super comfortable in anything but the biggest of trucks, which would also cost you more than double what you paid for the Nissan. Workhorses of simple design that are cheap to buy, cheap and easy to fix, and reliable to the point they just go and go and go are a dying breed the world over so I just don't know why you would want to knock them and demand more of the same high tech, expensive, dealership dependent vehicles you are going to get anyway in due course. When the HP 300 is gone you will lament the loss every time you get the bill from the dealership for whatever new vehicle you are driving by then. As for the lack of cup holder, I reckon I can live without them, since I'm not that big of a coffee drinker.
I apologize for taking so long to respond to your comment! 🙏🏼 I value and respect your opinion, but I think you maybe miss understood from the angle I have taken this. In South Africa, the NP300 have been so over priced that I have to compare it to the market and what you can get for the same price range.

@@adrivewithty7356 Absolutely Bro. The KB's are much more value for buck and way cheaper too. I took my "In-Law's" 3.3 V6 (VG 33) on a road trip to PE and back and besides the monster fuel consumption did I spend a whole week just to convince my kidneys that all is OK now LOL.

I have one on 117km. Very lose, loads of issues, but never broke down on me. Gearbox shit, Clutch shit, Steering issues, Cheap workmanship, Filter box always rattling, Brakes are shit, Suspension is shit Fuel consumption is good, And its pretty reliable.
I fixed the rattling the sponge went on the intake side of the filter box. The sponge went and was rattling the whole quater pannel. Yd25 engine setup.
very informative review....the suspension on this truck is suspect as well......agree fuel economy is bad....at what intervals do you service your car ?
This model especially the body is overdue for redesign☹️. Nissan took the navara engine Yd25 and replaced td27 ,qd32 which were durable💪facelifted many times😁😁
It is what it is! You feel it when you drive it and it is n no fuss no shit vehicle when you buy a bakkie like that it is for one thing only and it is to get from point a to point b reliably and it is affordable for most who cant pay close to a million but need a 4×4 and sometimes a dcab With the double cab and singel cab price as they where you can buy a dcab and a scab and have change left compared to a new 2.8 hilux
Mate that’s not an np300, whoever sold you that scammed you big time, that is a d22 navara No wonder it looks 20 years old because d22s were sold from 1997-2015
We have a 2.7D very old very strong still running high mileage . Never broke down , * Never took many part * Changed the clutch and other wearable parts at over 300 000km ( carrying heavy steel everyday) running at almost 400 000km * Met a accident a bmw turned in front of the van hit the car at over 60km dead stop . ( was not much damage but the bmw was bad ) * will never sell the van * Van made millions over the years for the company ALSO MY OLD VAN YOU DON'T FEEL ANY BUMPS ON THE ROAD AND IT DOES NOT SHAKE OR RATTLE . ( NOT REALLY SURE WHAT THAT F YOU TALKING ABOUT )AND VAN IS VERY COMFORTABLE I HAVE BEEN DRIVING FOR OVER 15 YEARS .AND IT HAS OLD SINGLE SEATS AND I AM VERY TALL THE 2.7D NISSAN AND THE TOYOTA 2.4D WAS THE BEST BAKKIES EVERY SOLD IN SOUTH AFRICA ALL THE FORDS MAZDA VW TATA ETC IS ALL KAK AND NOT EVEN AROUND TODAY MOST ARE IN SCRAP YARDS
Nissan didnt forget to redesign this car, this car is not supposed to be in production, Nissan long redesigned this car, they did that when they designed the Navara in 2005/6 that is and was the Hardbody replacement
My mom just got this car for sm weeks now and this morning as she was going out for work she complained about the no cup holder thing for her coffee , and showed her this video's intro we all laughed so hard 🤣
It boggles my mind why Nissan puts a year in the model of these things when it's been the same design for 2 decades. Hardbody 2022 is the same as Hardbody 1952
You, my dear friend, missed the mark. You, my dear friend, missed the point. This is a no fuss, no frills workhorse and was marketed as such. If it's cupholders you desire, buy a Benz. If it's fuel economy, get a Suzuki. If it's style, get a Wildtrack or GD6. But if you're looking for a reliable(key word) load carrier at a modest price, this is it!
This just sounds like a personal distaste for the bakkie, subjective review, not objective You bought a base model and expected a higher model quality???
A man really out here complaing about a 20yr old work van like if it's a new car What kinda Also I didn't even know you could get a yd25 in the single cab tho damn
It's a workhorse man, it's not suppose to be fancy or luxurious!!! Also, from a guy wearing a NASA shirt, flat cap, apple watch and a nose ring, I wouldn't take you seriously... our NP300 fleet are all still driving just fine thanks... next time neh... 🤣🤣🤣
Am currently working in a courier company and am driving this bakkie....it's fast, when I overtake its quick!.I love it with all my heart
Im sorry you totally missed the point of the NP300 bakkie it's purpose is to be utility oriented, for farms, mines, plantations etc... and its perfect and well priced for what its purpose is not like a hilux or ranger which is no longer a utility vehicle over priced and weak at carrying loads.
People dying in it ... but I really loved it
The most fast powerful bakkie made by nissan
I bought one in 2010. Drove 230000 km and are still driving it. About 90% were on very bad dirt roads in the northern parts of Namibia with a 1000 kg load. At 3000 Rpm (115 kph) I still get 12 km per lt. If have not experience any technical problems. I just bought a new Nissan NP 300 2.5D High DC.

Love the design, perfectly simple and uncluttered workhorse.
I’m glad Nissan has such a fan 🙏🏼
This is one of the most humble machines to ever exist, it's reliable, durable and there are a lot of aftermarket options

That's according your opinion. I owned one and I loved this thing
Of course! I am giving my opinion based on how I experienced the bakkie!
I recon it’s one of the best 4wd I like how it’s old school and simple
The nissan D22 is great work truck. Very low cost, very strong, easy to mod, always ready to do anything.
Easy to mod. That’s a view I never looked at!
It seams to me that you bought it without doing one bit of research on it, and than you spill your frustration.

Hi, any ideas about an inexpensive suspension lift to a 4x4 double cab, very similar? I'll appreciate your comments!
So far I'm happy i can see you have a second hand one. 90000 km and no shaking body or anything like that the one are driving is just old and buggered. Farming with myne and still 100 best work bakkie price and functionality aswell.
I have one. Always complaining about it but almost 300000 kms and going.
And it shall keep going!
I need 1 as well
So happy to see your 1st vid 😎 Really great job bro 🙏
Synos Supercars thanks bud! Appreciate it coming from you! 🙏🏼
Love everything about it. Love 2000 design. U it feels different. New cars are cold... U get new car that feels 2000... Thank you Nissan

😂that's true he's reviewing it as urban car it's not

I heard this car has gearbox problems. A friend bought a brand new one and replace it after 2 years. I want to own one and skeptical about it.
Sorry for the delay!
I’d say rather shop around and find something slightly better!
Excellent first vid Ty! Proud of you, things will only get better! How about an electric vehicle review...
Jacquie Littleton thanks Jacs! Really appreciate it!
I’ll look into it. Would love to do one!
1st of many I hope dude. 👌🏼
Devlin Randal-Smith I hope so too bud!! 🙌🏼
I have one on 117km. Very lose, loads of issues, but never broke down on me.
Gearbox shit,
Clutch shit,
Steering issues,
Cheap workmanship,
Filter box always rattling,
Brakes are shit,
Suspension is shit
Fuel consumption is good,
And its pretty reliable.
Pretty much experienced all the same!!
I fixed the rattling the sponge went on the intake side of the filter box. The sponge went and was rattling the whole quater pannel. Yd25 engine setup.
Nice review...but this its just the baseline version there are differences with the full version I have the 2005 d22 with 500k no problems at all..
So sorry for only replying now. Life has been busy. I know it’s the base model, I feel nissan could do way more to keep up with the competition 💁🏼♂️
I love it "Turbo" is for SAPS
Haha super true
very informative review....the suspension on this truck is suspect as well......agree fuel economy is bad....at what intervals do you service your car ?
The service is 20,000kms
Where can i find one with low miles?
This model especially the body is overdue for redesign☹️. Nissan took the navara engine Yd25 and replaced td27 ,qd32 which were durable💪facelifted many times😁😁
Can’t agree with you more! 🙌🏼
I feel they just trying to keep numbers up as it’s often used at work horses, but they must adapt to the times!
It is what it is! You feel it when you drive it and it is n no fuss no shit vehicle when you buy a bakkie like that it is for one thing only and it is to get from point a to point b reliably and it is affordable for most who cant pay close to a million but need a 4×4 and sometimes a dcab
With the double cab and singel cab price as they where you can buy a dcab and a scab and have change left compared to a new 2.8 hilux
Hey you mentioned in it's range it's not necessarily the best what are the alternatives?
I’d say the base Ford Ranger is the best alternate! Otherwise the Hilux. They are so much more resilient
@@adrivewithty7356 yes and way way more expensive there is a market for those bakkies and they were selling like sweetcake for a reason
For Ranger base is way more expensive 🫰
How much does it cost
Love your work bro 🙏🏾🇿🇦💥
I appreciate that so much man! 🙏🏼🙏🏼
I like this guy’s…I hope you can have more content
Mate that’s not an np300, whoever sold you that scammed you big time, that is a d22 navara
No wonder it looks 20 years old because d22s were sold from 1997-2015
This is sold under the NP300 badge here.
you can add a cupholder below the stereo.. there is a accessory for that. problem solve
We have a 2.7D very old very strong still running high mileage . Never broke down ,
* Never took many part
* Changed the clutch and other wearable parts at over 300 000km ( carrying heavy steel everyday)
running at almost 400 000km
* Met a accident a bmw turned in front of the van hit the car at over 60km dead stop . ( was not much damage but the bmw was bad )
* will never sell the van
* Van made millions over the years for the company
ALSO MY OLD VAN YOU DON'T FEEL ANY BUMPS ON THE ROAD AND IT DOES NOT SHAKE OR RATTLE . ( NOT REALLY SURE WHAT THAT F YOU TALKING ABOUT )AND VAN IS VERY COMFORTABLE I HAVE BEEN DRIVING FOR OVER 15 YEARS .AND IT HAS OLD SINGLE SEATS AND I AM VERY TALL
THE 2.7D NISSAN AND THE TOYOTA 2.4D WAS THE BEST BAKKIES EVERY SOLD IN SOUTH AFRICA
ALL THE FORDS MAZDA VW TATA ETC IS ALL KAK AND NOT EVEN AROUND TODAY MOST ARE IN SCRAP YARDS
Nissan didnt forget to redesign this car, this car is not supposed to be in production, Nissan long redesigned this car, they did that when they designed the Navara in 2005/6 that is and was the Hardbody replacement
A very fair view! 💁🏼♂️ is it not time we got something new from them?
On point my bro
Thank you!
Thank you bru..nice insight
Thank you. Appreciate the comment and the time you took to view! 🙏🏼
Buy a buddel cab the cup holder in door is for a klippies
My mom just got this car for sm weeks now and this morning as she was going out for work she complained about the no cup holder thing for her coffee , and showed her this video's intro we all laughed so hard 🤣
Hahaha well I’m glad I’m not the only one 🙋🏼♂️😂😂😂
Can she sell it to me please
What you need to solve your problems with the vehicle is a ...... FARM!!
I did consider it!
Timing chains and egr valves 😬. Not to mention safety
It boggles my mind why Nissan puts a year in the model of these things when it's been the same design for 2 decades. Hardbody 2022 is the same as Hardbody 1952
This is so correct. It’s truly weird. Some say you can’t fix what ain’t broke, but times have changed 🤷🏼♂️
Np300 tf looks like a d22 yd25
FORESURE YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH YOURSELF. FOR ME THE NISSAN BAKKIE IS 100% CORRECT FOR ME.
I’m really glad that it works for you! Not everyone will be the same, and it didn’t work for me, hence my opinion on it.
Impressive. Much love from OneMotion
Tsubi John thanks bud! Appreciate it! 🙏🏼
Handled the first vid well...especially with that car
Bethel Madida thanks bud! Appreciate it!
Why not buy a navara
I like that bakkie, it is cheap and reliable
Cupholders i agree with that
You, my dear friend, missed the mark. You, my dear friend, missed the point.
This is a no fuss, no frills workhorse and was marketed as such. If it's cupholders you desire, buy a Benz. If it's fuel economy, get a Suzuki. If it's style, get a Wildtrack or GD6. But if you're looking for a reliable(key word) load carrier at a modest price, this is it!
Air fuel system
I trust your judgement because you drink Seattle Coffee
This just sounds like a personal distaste for the bakkie, subjective review, not objective
You bought a base model and expected a higher model quality???
nissan is good
I have the Nissan np300 I like it but one problem
The safety rating is 0 stars
I love and I own one
Mexico building. This truck to gas engine diesel engine. 4x4. 2w.
I miss my 2L 😔😔
This car its best to buy but not for home use
A man really out here complaing about a 20yr old work van like if it's a new car
What kinda
Also I didn't even know you could get a yd25 in the single cab tho damn
yaa,you get on what you paid
Pretty true! Fortunately I didn’t buy this car, it was on loan to me!
It's a workhorse man, it's not suppose to be fancy or luxurious!!! Also, from a guy wearing a NASA shirt, flat cap, apple watch and a nose ring, I wouldn't take you seriously... our NP300 fleet are all still driving just fine thanks... next time neh... 🤣🤣🤣
Jah but this is just a basic car for work and that's it nothing else!
I feel this was an honest review, thank you, it was really helpful
My pleasure! Glad you enjoyed it!
Go look at its crash test results
You are better of in n 1400
Well don't crash it
why would you hire someone just to hold a cup for you come on !!!😮💨
