About the Nissan D22
The D22-generation Nissan Navara, often simply badged as the 'Pick UP' in European markets, represents the transition from basic utility to the lifestyle-oriented trucks of today. Introduced with the 2.5 Di common-rail diesel engine in the early 2000s, it offered a significant leap in torque and drivability over its predecessors. While its leaf-sprung rear suspension provides a stiff ride when unladen, it is highly regarded by collectors and tradesmen for its robust mechanicals and genuine off-road capability. In the UK, it remains a popular budget-friendly choice for agricultural and heavy-duty work, though early YD25 engines require careful maintenance of the timing chain and big-end bearings.
