Arctic Trucks The triumphant return of the Nissan Navara AT32

Nissan Navara AT32 returns to the market as Arctic Trucks launches new direct conversion service for existing owners and operators

BACK WHEN NISSAN WAS STILL bringing the Navara to the UK, the Off-Roader AT32 model was a serial winner of the Best Off-Road category in our annual Pick Up of the Year awards. Built by Arctic Trucks, a company renowned for its expertise in creating extreme versions of mainstream 4x4 vehicles, it was enormously capable – and very, very cool.

The latest version of the Navara is no longer available in the UK. But Arctic Trucks has announced that it is now making the same conversion available directly to existing owners – allowing you to create an AT32 of your own from any Navara from 2015 on.

And best of all, the work remains fully approved by Nissan Europe – meaning the balance of your Navara’s 5-year, 100,000-mile warranty will remain intact after it’s been done.

The AT32 conversion is carried out on an individual basis by Arctic Trucks’ own team of experienced technicians at the company’s new facility in the Cotswolds. It’s available on all body styles, transmissions and grades of the NP300 / D23 Navara.

Upgrades to the base vehicle include Arctic Trucks wheels with all-terrain tyres, performance suspension, underbody armour and re-engineering of the body and bodywork, the latter fi nished with Arctic Trucks’ widened fl ares.

The Navara is well positioned to make the most of the Arctic Trucks conversion as a locking rear differential was fi tted as standard across the range. In addition, most models were coilsprung at the rear – something which remains very unusual in the pick-up market.

Options including a front diff lock, snorkel, Arctic Trucks spare wheel/tyre, Arctic Trucks side steps and more are also available.

Peter Smith, Managing Director of Arctic Trucks UK commented: ‘With customers unable to cycle into the latest Navara version, now not available in Europe, these new conversions provide a fantastic opportunity for them to refresh their existing vehicles with a full and proven solution endorsed by Nissan Europe, while enhancing both their looks and capabilities.’

The AT32 conversion is normally priced at £6000, but at present Arctic Trucks is offering an extremely hefty discount – making it yours for a very, very tempting £4000.

If that’s got you thinking ‘where do I sign,’ you probably won’t be the only one. So head straight for arctictrucks.co.uk to book your build slot.
