Yeah, it can be that bad. I actually had to bail out of that "road" because I didn't have M/T tires. The truck behind me was only 4x2...The YD25DDTi diesel engine is a gem. Once the engine is warm you would be hard pressed to identify it as a diesel from its (lack of ) clatter, vibration or the exhaust. Engine braking on descents is brilliant, on 4-lo even sleep-inducing. The best way to describe the low end grunt is the feel of the torquing action in your hand of a power drill turning a tight screw.
Negotiating a muddy "road" in western Flores near the famous Komodo Island. The truck behind me got stuck.

Is it really that bad? He should lower the dump box so the front has more weight, assuming thats a 4x4. Anyway sweet nissan. Your lucky you get diesel. North America needs more little trucks with diesels.
