2019 Isuzu D-Max 4x4 Review - Behind the Wheel

We go Behind the Wheel of the 2019 Isuzu D-max in the Philippines, to test the midsize pickup that takes a licking and keeps on ticking. As far as diesel-power trucks go, this nameplate and brand has the backbone to boot, but how does it fare? Let's find out.

Ey, yo, Jack. Why the HECK was I talking about Micky D's at the end? Were we hungry? Did we see one on the road? Did they kill the Big Mac?!? Answer me, man! Answer me!!

[@jack.g.gutierrez]

Caco Tirona you wouldn't stop talking when i just asked you to randomly say something to check the mics. then again, you almost never stop talking 😶

Best Auto Reviewer!! No biased..Unlike any other who just want their blog " Mabulaklak" Good Job !!!

[@kusnezoff8705]

well when you stood up for Pluto and said it never left you had my vote. another bang up great job. very very nice. you should be getting a lot more views, really you are that good.

[@Axelerate93]

What's great in this Isuzu is that this truck is very straight forward, no drama no fashionable aesthetics just a truck. You got the good and reliable diesel engine and like what caco said it can carry a thousand kilo on his back.

[@marinerchris]

Just a basic old truck to be honest. Other competitor's entry level truck has more features and advanced than this one.

[@Axelerate93]

@@marinerchris at the end of the day, its the engine and cargo load that matters.

[@marinerchris]

@@Axelerate93 just as I said. It's a basic truck. Other competitors like Ford Ranger has a load capacity of 1, 120 kgs and the likes of Hilux and others, more than the Isuzu. You must have a Dmax, I've driven a handful of them, let's be honest, it is really Outdated. Once you've enter the interior of other trucks, you'll get your head turning.

[@Guess_who08]

Isuzu and Toyota are my top two RELIABLE pick up truck. Parts wise and toughness

[@nelsonsegui5102]

Toyota Pick Up failed moose test @37 miles (56 kms) w/c is quite low speed...

[@nivek7631]

Isuzu over Toyota Toyota is matagtag 😛

[@AceXmasuraO]

We own both, Hilux and Alterra

[@WeCube1898]

Hilux and DMax are immortals.

[@nelsonsegui5102]

Had this truck D-max 4x2 way back 2011. Went to Sagada w/ my son, drove to Kitepan Terraces. That time there's no road going to Kiltepan, just drove my pick up to low gear... Whoah it reached the top. Dude I can't ask for more for this truck!

[@miokujou]

I can very much agree! The Isuzu D-max was not made to be luxurious, to be fast, or to be a head turner, it was made for one thing and it is to be a work horse! It was made to carry heavy cargo, tow heavy trailers, and be used in a construction site or quarry as an all around service vehicle. It was made to be used and abused and still do its job properly.

[@cantiladrianeb.6241]

Yep because it is isuzu they dont add up fancy technologies to the truck to make it more "hightech" and its not also made to race in the highway heavy loads tough terrains uphill and downhill are the true territory of the pick up trucks

[@angelesdy6738]

I agree 💪🤟🤘👊

[@icewallowcome_daily9802]

This truck Isuzu D-max can't even climb a muddy up hill road ( I know coz I've seen it with my own eyes) with no load that a 4x4 multicab can easily climb with tons of load. This truck is not a workhorse, it's for people who love looks and style.

[@icewallowcome_daily9802]

I mean it has somethings in the back but not too to heavy lower the suspensions.

[@miokujou]

@@icewallowcome_daily9802 was it traversing mud or a loose dirt road? Was it using proper tires for the road condition it was in? I don't know about in other countries but here in the Philippines a 3rd world country the Top 2 pickup trucks that are used as a work horse by different kinds of private and public companies are the Toyota Hilux and Isuzu D-max. From electrical and water companies, government vehicles, construction vehicles, etc the Hilux and D-max has always been the top choices as a work vehicle.

[@mk012388]

Nice,sir i hope you also review the all new d-max 2020 once it release here in Philippines.

[@elpidlisan8090]

Bought this Dmax LS-A last January 10 and currently has 2783 km on the Odometer, kinakargahan ko ng 20 bags of cement every other day plus pang deliver tubig sa worksite and boy parang wala lang, not so Torquey compare sa Hilux 2.8G so I put a RACECHIP GTS that I ordered from Germany and it really made a big difference in power. if you want a work truck buy this pero kung gusto nyo pang porma bili kayo FORD RAPTOR and goodluck sa maintenance. Chill!

[@dennistulud3873]

Cacos review is always spot on! Best reviewer I can say that can be at par with the three gentlemen of Grand Tour. I just wish the dmax they would bring is the v cross that was on the Isuzu Thailand website. No wonder the interior is the same as the last one. The Engine of the Thailand one is even more powerful. Cmon Isuzu bring the vcross dmax!

Most reviews take on the driver's comfort. I actually rode the Ford Ranger, supposedly a favorite, but when I rode at the back, I was frustrated. Maybe in the next reviews, we can test the comfort of passengers of pickups and other vehicles. Thanks!

[@erwinordonez8368]

Agree. But I think that's what most isuzu buyers want (i own one myself). I'd rather have something simple and not easy to break. Than the fancy ones in other SUV's.

[@davidhamilton506]

Caco, I'm wondering why there are two distinct looking grilles with the 2020 Isuzu D-Max pick up. Both have a similar but different frontal aspect. One has what can be described as having a double set of "fangs", whilst the one you reviewed has only one. Check out the new V Cross to view the difference...

[@stargiezerful]

3:15 yeah i can agree that sir caco.

[@cheloutumulak7479]

Paul Borg im a millenial but i can agree with this too lol

[@GrayPM]

Not the superstar but just your average pickup truck doing what it is supposed to do, one that you can definitely rely on even if the spotlight is not pointed at it.

LOL. the only regret I can think of is that i sold my Innova for this. not that i dont love my dmax it's because i can't use it to it's full potential.

EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT ISUZU D-MAX/MU-X/ALTERRA AND THE 4JJ1-TC/4JJ1-TCX/4JJ3-TCX ENGINE In the Philippine automotive market, the 4JJ1 family starts with the Isuzu Alterra in 2005. At the time, it was the first Euro 3 diesel vehicle offered in this country. Heading over to Thailand where drag diesels are very popular, this particular engine was a very potent engine for tuning. Thai people and even foreigners said that this engine is as potent as the mighty 2JZ-GTE from the 1993-2002 Toyota Supra MK4. In simple remap, the engine is capable of 259-277 BHP. But when the forged internals, bigger injectors, bigger turbo, and re-stroking come into play, the engine is capable of 1200-1260 BHP. For instance, this kind of four-digit horsepower is reserved for some supercars like the Bugatti Veyron, Bugatti Chiron, Koenigsegg Agera, Koenigsegg Jesko, and the like. But with the 4JJ1 and even its newer variations, four-digit horsepower is finally accessible to the masses. Regarding the quarter mile times, they are running around 7.1-8.7 seconds which is way faster than most supercars. This engine is a blast from the past, especially the 90's tuning culture where 2JZ, RB26, 4G63, and many others are very popular among tuners. Back in the Philippines in 2007, the Isuzu D-Max with the 4JJ1 engine was launched in our country. These subsequent releases after this vehicle with this engine are 2nd Generation D-Max in 2013, Alterra replacement MU-X in 2016, Blue Power Euro 4 upgrade for both D-Max and MU-X in 2017, and the upcoming launch of the 3rd Generation D-Max on March 4, 2021, with the 4JJ3-TCX as its engine. Regarding the 4JJ3, it is like a 4JJ1 with an electronic variable geometry turbo and 250 MPa injectors to produce 190 PS and 450 Nm of torque. For the upcoming vehicle, it will be very likely to become one of two hyper-tunable cars that are currently and commonly available in the market, with MU-X sharing its honor. Throughout its lifetime, the D-Max, Alterra, and the MU-X with the 4JJ1 engine are tuner favorites because of its high tuning potential and some similarities with the 2JZ such as an all-turbo exhaust soundtrack, prominent turbo flutter, cast iron block and aluminum head, and being a closed-deck engine. So when you own an Isuzu vehicle with the 4JJ1, you will be impressed by the tuning potential that these three vehicles can offer. Regarding the local drag diesel scene, the 2012 Isuzu D-Max 4JJ1 was tackling the Clark International Speedway drag strip last month with a 9.73-second quarter mile.

[@alexvtan]

This is not the new D Max?

[@RemTiangco]

Pricing would have been more acceptable if the amount of standard equipment equals the Thai/Au market. Still, the D-MAX is an excellent truck nonetheless.
