Nissan has a long history of designing and manufacturing pickups, with its recent Frontier launch marking 62 years of building trucks for the US market.
Refined, comfortable and well-equipped, the Nissan Navara NP300 – or D23 as it is often referred to – is a truck that is known and much loved for its good performance and practicality. As the following upgrades promise, however, there’s plenty of potential to turn that good performance into a truly great experience.
Read on to discover how you should upgrade your Nissan Navara NP300 during the year ahead.
Embrace custom suspension
Many reviews celebrate the Nissan Navara NP300’s suspension setup. As this RAC review details, the model offered a setup that was particularly cutting-edge at the time:
“This Navara proved the possibility of another way, a decade of development delivering a new five-link rear suspension set-up: yes, just like the kind of thing you get on a Crossover or a small SUV. At speed through the bends, it doesn’t respond quite like one of those but back in 2015, it certainly set a new standard for handling dynamics in the pick-up class…”
Despite this innovation, the D23’s rear suspension does not cope well with loads or towing due to factory soft coil springs. That’s where our Terrain Tamer Suspension Kit Nissan Navara D23 NP300 2015-22 comes in.
As one of the top suspension kits on the market, Terrain Tamer delivers a fully integrated, custom setup that ensures optimal ride and handling even when towing or loaded.
Incorporate underbody protection
Protecting the underside of your Nissan Navara NP300 is important, especially if you’re a fan of some serious off-roading. The N4 Skid Plate Underbody Protection Nissan Navara D23 NP300 2015-22 Front Bash Guard is THE way to toughen up your vehicle.
The N4 Skid Plate puts 8 millimetres of precision manufactured, high-grade, aluminium alloy between your vehicle and the trail to ensure ultimate protection for your underside.
Add wide wheel arches
The aesthetic appeal of the Nissan Navara NP300 is one of the reasons why it’s such a popular pickup. Adding some wide wheel arches – like these from Rock Flares – will only add to its stylish appearance.
Suitable for a double cab, single cab and extra cab models, these smooth finish, matte black arches offer more than just stunning good looks. They can be bolted or stuck on – that’s right, there’s zero drilling required! – to deliver long-lasting vehicle protection.
Upgrade your clutch
Whether you want to carry or tow extra weight with ease, enjoy improved off-road performance or increase drivability on the road, relying on an OE clutch rarely provides the results you are looking for. The Xtreme Outback Nissan Navara NP300 D23 Heavy Duty Organic Clutch Kit puts performance and durability first to deliver across all the scenarios mentioned above.
Install towing mirrors
Whilst we’re on the subject of towing, you’re going to want to add some premium quality towing mirrors to your vehicle.
These Clearview Towing Mirrors have been specifically designed and developed for the Nissan Navara D23 NP300 2015-22 to ensure a secure fit, improved wind resistance and enhanced visibility when towing a caravan, boat or trailer. Their extendable design can even be used in the standard driving position to ensure a clean, simple, versatile and permanent fixture that suits the occasion.
