How does it differ from the Navara...

We don’t really know yet. Ive heard that the pricing will be similar but with more spec & toys.

According to car mag, the ride is best in class. Although the Merc will likely be better.

Then there’s things like the 360 camera view for when off-roading.

It’ll also tow 3500 kg which not all bakkies can tow.

The load gate will hold half a ton.

I like the Alaskan. Looks are good and the Tech so far also looks good.
Renault must just price this thing right, otherwise it would be another Navara/Amarok scenario where they wont sell more than a 100 per month.

Even if they price it favorably, it’s not going to persuade the lemmings to trade in their Hiluxes & those Raptor things [emoji3]

Did not think it will be this difficult to understand...

No matter what the specs etc. It stays a Renault...

So, first a Japanese Company, owned by a French Company names a bakkie after the misspelt name of a region in Spain (Navarra).
Then the French company does a badge 'n nose job on their subsidiaries pick up & names it after the largest state in the US.

What's next? Renault-Nissan's discount brand, Dacia, launching a stripped down version of the Navara/Alaskan & giving it an appropriately discounted name?

Look out for the Dacia Scunthorpe or Dacia East Rand....
