Thank you so much for the kind words and the sub! Admittedly, I'm primarily a writer by trade and the Drive Section website (and my other freelance writing work) is my main focus, and so producing video content has been secondary to that at times given for the most part it's practically all filmed and edited by myself as well. I'm certainly hoping to see it grow and expand as I continue to refine my video style going forward though, so I appreciate your support!

Ayrton Rama Me too!. I loved driving the Ranger but tow a lot and want more flexibility. Also, I’m not convinced about putting so much pressure through a 2.0l bi Turbo. I’ve driven one (with boat) and it shifted through the gears - a lot. Can’t wait to test drive.

@DriveSection4 жыл бұрын
Hi Douglas - the new BT-50 is the same underneath as this new D-Max, so it'll be right there alongside it as far as reliability is concerned. Toyota claims to have gotten on top of its DPF issues with the facelifted HiLux model, but time will be the judge of that. I'll be sure to try and put out some reviews when I'm able to get my hands on both the BT-50 and HiLux though.

Hi Sahbani - as I mentioned in the video at around 4:38 the new engine is considerably quieter, remaining very hushed below around 3000rpm. It does get a bit noiser in the higher rpm range, but it is still nowhere near as coarse or loud a sound as before.

Isuzu spent $100 million dollars in advertising - very cleverly too- using cronies. Isuzu hopes to claw back from Ford and Toyota using "reliability" over popularity. Even new Ranger which is a real true model when released never got this much publicity- a testament to the millions spent wisely through the grass roots campaign. There is no doubt a D Max is a very popular ute so time will tell if the $100 million will fetch treble returns or not.One thing that baffles me - in 2021 despite all the safety gear still drum brakes in the rear?

Dear all motoring journalists A Diesel engine is ALWAYS going to be noisy. We all know that! How about you stop talking about the clatter and concentrate on other things because quite frankly every pickup truck/ute/buckie buyer expects diesel rumble 🤷🏽♂️ Sit in a Prius if you are going to wine about diesel noise. Thank you
@DriveSection4 жыл бұрын
Hi Tashinga - for the sake of objectivity, it's just something that simply needs to be pointed out, especially as trying to cut down on clatter is something Isuzu made a big point of trying to do here. You will note, though, that I did say I liked how muscular the engine in this does sound when you get on it, and that most of the time it's remarkably quiet for what it is.
@53glowe4 жыл бұрын
But man...there are different levels of noise. Some diesels make a hell of racket, others are more subdued, like the Triton, Mercedes and surprisingly the Musso. I think it's objective of the presenter to differentiate them 😐
