Totally agree on all your points but I still love my D22, mostly because it’s simple, goes pretty well off-road and I don’t have to worry about it like a $100k 79 or Patrol. I’d buy a new version with coil over setup and 20% more power in a heart beat!

Agree with lack of power at 98kw, however use my 2010 d22 for towing a car trailer loaded mostly Melbourne to Sydney and has never let me down. The driver seat for me seems sweet as I spend over 9 hours behind the wheel minus fuel stops. Back seat is rubbish never carry passengers in the rear. Internal road noise is real bad, decent stereo eliminates this problem. Steering not the best but handles better with loaded trailer, don't know why but it does. Still in my opinion good bang for the buck!

My d22 has the qd32 engine that ive just poped a td27 turbo on it, thing went from being a slug to performing like my old p11 bluebird sr20 na. As for the steering and suspension im not to fussy, these ute have way better lock then Toyotas of the same era and my torsion bars havent broken yet nor any of the ball joints touch wood

i love my 2005 d22, its simple to operated change part of engine and easy to install diy, still on power 160-170 kmh no problem since you well maintain change engine oil, gearbox oil, coolant with purifier water.. from johor bahru, malaysia ❤

Mate I just bought my d22 and after a couple of kilomiters runing it I realized that all complains u said is definetly true! Omg the seats are terrible and the car has a lot o play on the steering wheel.. but apart from that it is fine

[buddys-gaming]

I have to say if your gonna buy a d22 it's gotta be the vg33e 3.3L v6 petrol. They are absolutely guzzlers but 125kw nice and quiet a little more weight over the front end and also they are unstoppable made me fall in love with the D22 all over again

[DarylSaunders]

Ain't you a moany lot """ I brought my d22 in 2006 ( she's a 2004) and still have her today. Only let me down once and had to get breakdown ride home. Don't get me wrong I've had my issues but she's allways got me home. I love my d22 🤗

They still sell them brand new In Southern Africa, I bought one in 2019, very agricultural but half the price of hilux or dmax so can't compare them really. Solid and reliable work horse but very poor safely rating.

[thelazylizardmatt]

I have a 2015 model, can't fault it. I knew what I was buying. Top vehicle. I would buy another one in a heartbeat ☺️

[lethaloutdoors]

Good stuff mate, I recently bought a d22 and I think I've watched all your vids, keep em coming !

[adrianskipper-io]

Nice review . I have had problems with the power steering squealing and now the aircon belt slipping and squealing too. Could be the aircon compressor seizing but cannot reach it from the top. Otherwise it’s doing the job

[Tommyarto]

I don’t have the noise issues but do have the steering issues - power is what it is - 2014 D22 👍🏼

[christopherbedwell]

I have one of the last, it’s a 2015 - it came with cruise control and it’s a 2.5L - a lot of your issues can be overcome with a throttle control…

[travisclarke]

im at about 45min with the seat atm, thinking of packing the front of it up to tilt the base a bit giving a more comfortable leg angle while driving.

One thing many people dont really think of with these cars is they always were a basic farm truck, and they still do it very well now, as standard they would tick majority of boxes for farmers as a run around farm hack. they didnt require all the fancy stuff that would add to cost, I'd say confidently the d22 was the last "factory farm truck" with the bare basics, no cruise, no touch screen head unit. bare minimum so little could go wrong.

as for your cruise, I installed an e-cruise in my YD, real easy and cheap mod you can DIY. the fitment can just about look factory too

[Tom-mkiq]

Haha yeah its loud in the cabin of diesel powered d22. They need more sound deadening. The single cabs are even worse for leg room.. but i love mine.

[tyroneomundson]

Mate gone from a 75series cruiser to this and gotta say it's 100 times more comfortable haha

[nilasanbogdan]

Hey, very strong 5 points mate! I have the same truck but from 2008... done a lot of work on it and this video kinda shows me that my fight is not over! 😁😁 About the driver seat i really want to try one from a Nissan Terrano 2 ( name in Europe) or a Patrol y61. I belive its plug and play but i haven't got the chance to try it yet. There are more comfy tractors than this truck! 😁

[lochienelmes]

This vids great, I love my d22 and this just made me feel like the issues I have with mine are just common in them 🤣

[andrewwilliams]

They were built to a budget, it’s very unusual for a manufacturer to keep selling the old model alongside the new (9 years!!)
But people kept buying them.

I like that it’s a bit rough and loose.
Back seat is crap! It’s way too small.
And I’ve never gotten used (even after 6 years and 150km) to the gear lever throw being so long, once every few weeks I’ll still crunch a gear 😂
