Hello
Just like to tell you as well with a big smile,that I ,after 1 year of waiting be probably the first owner of a 4.8ltr patrol pickup.
Yes you reading right 4.8 pickup.
I know that there is a second one standing in South africa
So go and talk to your dealer to secure it

Hi Christian, welcome to the forum

Question...... did you buy the bakkie with that 4.8 engine new or did Nissan or someone do the conversion?

[hitsch]

I bought the bakkie new from nissan.it's original and comes with a 3 year warranty as all other cars
In the beginning there had some problems with sa revenue but this is now sorted. not sure if this bakkie is available in sa it's definitely in nam.
Greetings

Welcome!
Nice to have another patrol pickup owner here.

What roof rack do you have on your patrol?
I would like to get one for mine, one day. (It will go well with the hunting/cattle frame that's on my pickup. It will break the height difference between the cab height and frame height a bit).

Does the 4.8 pickup have an auto or manual gearbox?

[JoshJ]

The roofthing is something runner. I think frontrunner
I think the transmission is a manual. I will collect the car tomorrow
Then I know exactly. It's actually the same the Arabs have, you can also have a look to kenya,they selling the car as well as a sgl

[SJC]

If yours if the same as the Kenya model then it's a manual.
