    NX first drive

    Picked up our new NX Friday and took it for its first trip out to Bellthorpe today. Upgraded from a PA challenger so was grinning the whole way.

      yeah it's ironbark. I only had the PA for a couple of years but recently bought a camper trailer and the fuel economy went through the roof. was nice actually being able to accelerate up a hill today instead of just making lots of noise

            Looks very flash. Lol.
            You'll love the Pajero mate. Good decision. Enjoy it.

                    it's the GLS. haven't really thought about mods yet but will probably look into a bullbar first. was thinking of upgrading the tyres but it'll mostly be used for towing the camper on weekends so will probably stick with the standard ones for a while.

                      I just upgraded (last Thursday) from a much loved V6 120 Prado after 13 years.
                      Got a warm white GLS at a very good price with tint, towbar, spare lift kit and nudge bar.

                      Comments so far:
                      Ride is a bit firmer than the Prado but handling is much better.

                      Brakes feel much better.

                      Seats feel a little higher off the ground.

                      It's quiet but definitely not as quiet as the Prado was.

                      It's slightly more practical in the back for loading but MUCH more practical than the current 150 series Prado which is a dead loss.

                      The Pajero needs a decent foot rest. Will have to make one up.

                      I like the performance of the 3.2. Not quite up to a petrol V6 but way better that Toyota's 2.8.

                      Would have liked to have door pockets in the rear door trims. The official brochure says they're there but what would they know

                      Now to run it in and hook the van up.

                            You can buy one from Amayama. There is a thread getting around that explains this. Will see if I can find it.

                              Thanks Rugga but no need.

                              Step 1: Cut a piece of wood to the correct length, thickness and taper
                              Step 2: Paint it matt black.
                              Step 3: Put some good quality sticky back velcro hook on the lower side and transmission tunnel side of the new footrest.
                              Step 5: Place it on the current excuse for a foot rest and the velcro hook will grab the carpet and the new footrest will not move.
                              Step 6: Go for a drive then home for a beer.
