Nissan Navara 2012 – 2.5L Turbo Diesel 4×4 – 6-Speed Manual
Fuel Consumption: 10-11L/100km

Small enough to navigate tight streets, yet strong enough to handle all terrains with its high- and low-range 4×4 system—and spacious enough to house a double bed, kitchen, diesel heater, large safe, and more! The places we’ve explored and safely wild camped thanks to its high clearance and 4×4 capabilities have truly made our journey unforgettable.

My partner, a meticulous diesel mechanic from New Zealand, has kept busy with preventive maintenance during our ownership. Unlike many travelers, we didn’t cut corners or wait for things to break before replacing them. Below are the improvements we made to enhance the comfort of our trip.

 Recent Additions (All 2024 Purchases):
