Looking all menacing and intimidating, the new Nissan Navara Pro 4X is set to ruffle some feathers in the flagship pick-up truck segment. Sure, it is essentially a facelift, but this range-topping Navara Pro 4X has got such an extensive revision that it almost looks like an all-new model, the keyword here being 'looks'.
