The latest Nissan Pick-Up, ‘NP300 Navara’, was unveiled in Bangkok this summer. Thailand is the largest market for pick-ups after the USA despite a population a fraction of its size. It's probably number one for medium-sized one-tonne models, and more than 40 per cent of the market is pick-up. It also accounts for 60 per cent of total Thai vehicle production which itself is greater than 2 million.
No wonder then that the country is a global centre for pick-up production. Apart from Nissan, Toyota, Mitsubishi, Ford/Mazda and Isuzu/GM have 'home' plants there. EU Nissan pick-ups, of course, are built currently in Barcelona and if production of the exisiting Navara there was to stop, it would mean an end almost certainly too for the Pathfinder.
