The Navara has a higher towing capacity than the L200; which is always handy to have.
Edit that was the last shape one; the new ones might be different

The other problem with the Navara and L200 is that the deck height is too high; you can't lift things into it easily as its at an ergonomically unsuitable height.
The Ford Ranger is lower to the ground and much better as a workhorse if you're intending on using the deck that is

The warrior/L200 doesn't compare to the Navara as a "work" vehicle

My dads had a few L200's (Old shape) they are ok, reliable, good for what he needs it for. However it is a bit slow and unrefined, but its only a pickup at the end of the day. I couldn't drive it daily though.

like the navaras
As for the safety worrys i think it was a basic programming isuue, meaning the air bag was deploying to late. This is corrected by the recall out now. it should be retested by ncap v.soon and should be a 3star truck all being well. which is very good in the truck market.
