Well, not sure whether to go new or low k secondhand yet. I no longer have the tax benefits of going new as i no longer have our own business.

It was very comfy, a great cruiser, heaps of room, very smooth, plenty of get up and go, and if i could find one small criticism, it would be the suspension is a bit softer than i would like, but soon got used to it.

Wifey loved it, approved before she even had her turn behind the wheel.

I think with a front bar, bigger tyres, and a bit more lift it will be ideal for what we want.
Very easy to drive.

I still think the steering is very light for such a big truck.
My mrs absolutely loves it. Best cruising vehcile we have ever owned.
Be careful with a lift as to do it properly ypu need to go with a kit from either radflo or 4x4 on trak (assuming u get a ti or ti-l). As a result ive decided i wont be sporting a bullbar. Simply 33 inch ko2s when the time comes to upgrade tyres. In the rear you can insert air bags on all models but the front isnt easy to modify on non st-l models.

I dont regret my decision one bit. The car seems to grow more on me every day. Ull love it


Used they seem to hold their value very well. Most ti's still sit between 55-65k for a goos one.

Ha ha there is no need to say anymore... he's already looking for one the right colour😅. Likei said earlier it was a very very close run decision for us... that is how impressive the y62 really is in comparison to all the other offerings😎

Ever since I noticed this thread I've been seeing more and more Y62's around.

I used to despise them due to the massive change from the GU (a bit like how I didn't like D3's cos they were all independent suspension and had too many electronics - but now I own one and love it).

After reading this thread a Y62 may be looked for if and when we upgrade!

If i were to eventually buy a non LR vehicle in this class then i would be choosing one for sure.

Ditto.
I noticed my first Infiniti version last week.

My initial thought was "**** that's ugly, what is it?"
The Nissan version is better looking!
