I am so jealous that Australia and Thailand already have the new D-Max. We here in South Africa have to wait until second half of 2021. I am absolutely in love with this new D-Max design, it is by far the best looking bakkie on offer. The facelifted Hilux took a step backwards from the current version, btw the Hilux was my second best looking bakkie. I am currently driving a 2017 Isuzu KB (D-Max name in South Africa), it is an amazing bakkie even though everyone always criticizes Isuzu for their engine noise or lack of refinement, I have driven Hilux, Ranger and Amarok, and will not trade my KB for any of them. Isuzu is ultra reliable and we have 5 x different Isuzu KB's on the farm from 1986 to 2017 models and they are unstoppable. I am definitely buying a new 2021 Isuzu D-Max when it is built here in SA next year. All the advancements will just make it more desirable. This will be a killer bakkie in South Africa. Thank you for the AWESOME review. Isuzu love from South Africa.

Well don't feel too bad here in the US we will NEVER get this. For some reason Isuzu left the NA market. I like this and the looks of the 2021 Navara Pro 4-X. However, the Isuzu will destroy the Nissan with that 3.0 turbo diesel. Its funny that globally the new D-Max is a real hotcake and the talk of the town whereas in the US, nobody has not even heard about it.

Great review. I know everyone talks Nm but I’ve driven all three (Ranger/Hilux) and very impressed how relaxed the Isuzu is to drive. Also, the Dmax reaches 300 Nm at 1000 revs and 450 at 1600. It’s personal, but I felt the DMax was the most linear of the three in power delivery. Personally, I was leaning to Ford but changed my mind. Keep the reviews coming. Really enjoy them.

CarExpert Would love non jargon comparison. Again, Ford was faster off the lights, but the linear power through every gear for the Dmax totally surprised me and how quickly it came on. Again, if you want get off the lights faster, the Ford is the best bet, but damn, the new Dmax is a step up. So much so, I bought one.

@@CarExpertAus Another review site dyno'd the new Dmax at just under 106rwkw. Given most 3.2 Rangers come in between 103-110 the 4J is published a tad conservative I reckon. Ive driven the latest Hilux SR5, Xterrain and BT50 GT and they all feel line ball grunt-wise, the Dmax platform leans on it's torque curve with the trans mapping hunting less than the Hilux (despite both being the same Aisin transmission. The throttle mapping is a little slower off idle so some have interpreted this as turbo lag but it definitely isn't. Wouldn't be surprised if there is a mild throttle mapping change to give the impression of more grunt in the inevitable minor tweaking updates usually found in newer releases.

The first truck I was able to buy when I was in the US Navy was an Isuzu pup that the Chevy dealership was selling. I had wanted the 6cyl s10 that I was in love with but they wouldn’t finance me on it, but would if I got an isuzu pup. Gmac gave me the loan on the isuzu and it was the best truck I’ve ever owned. Had it for 13 years, never any problem. Ever. Put 270k miles and only sold it as I had married and the family was growing. In 1987 I paid $7,400 brand new. It had gotten stolen when I was at sea, 22k hard miles from the thieves (caught and put in prison) I just changed the oil and ran perfectly. Lived up north, always started right away. I’m sure GMAC could care less but from then on American cars haven’t been on the top of my shopping list. I wish this truck was for sale in the states.

Eisbär The Ranger is an amazing car, no doubt. Whether new Hilux, Dmax or Ranger, you can’t go wrong. What’s surprising is that 12 months ago, DMax wasn’t in that group. The 10sp ranger is a quick beast and my preferred. I was awaiting the new DMax to test drive before buying the Ranger to make sure it was the right choice. Put deposit down last week. On the DMax.

@@eisbar7354 Can't argue with that. Had an MY16 Wildtrak and was a great ute. Downgraded (pun intended) to a MY18 Triton and 200% miss the refinement and wizardry that comes with the Ranger. Have driven other newer utes since and i feel the Ranger is ahead of the rest (except for price) But im sure my thoughts will change when i get a chance to drive a new D-max.

My only disappointment so far is the fact that the rear tub is not dust proof, which is disappointing if you’re wanting to do some off-road adventures. Be prepared to have all you gear in the back covered in dust! However, after doing a bit of research, this can be easily resolved by installing an after market tailgate seal kit. I love my Isuzu Dmax.

In South Africa, this Isuzu may not dethrone King Hilux and its second in command, Deputy Ranger, but it should run a very close third. On looks alone, it has the facelifted Hilux beaten. The Ranger is on its way out, and must pray that the new one looks better than the outgoing one, if it is to keep its place. I thought the GWM P series' interior was sexy. This Isuzu matches it, and then some.

Loving how comprehensive this review is! Everything is tackled nicely and with enough attention to detail. Hoping to see your own version of comparos soon, especially to see how that lower hp and torque really translates from paper to real-world tarmac performance(given that another car reviews site saw that the new D-Max has a quicker acceleration time than the new 200hp Hilux). Great review nevertheless, all the advantages and flaws are nicely presented! Looking forward for the next one 👍

I have sat in one but have not been able to score a test drive of x-terrain as demos are rare as hens teeth as some dealers have advised. I did get onto Isuzu who directed me to a dealer who has one to test drive on tuesday this week so i am looking forward to that. I can say so far it looks great in the orange colour and is very comfortable to sit in the seats are awesome. What i liked the most is the grab handles as i have two bad knees they allow me easier access to the car which makes it great for me. I have test driven the triton and ford ranger so far the ford is my choice but will try ntrek warrior Sr5 when i can find a dealer who test models.

I bought the new D-Max in February. It's a good truck and does a good job of towing. But I can not recommend it to others because the so-called safety technology is both dangerous and annoying. By default every time the truck is started the safety options are set to active. To turn them off requires going through multiple menus. This is so annoying every time I start the truck. So why do I turn some of the features off? Because they are dangerous. For example, the lane assist feature is really dangerous if you try to avoid something in a hurry. I had a kangaroo jump in front of the truck and when I tried to swerve to avoid it the truck lane assist tried to pull the truck back into the lane towards the kangaroo. This could just as easily have been a pedestrian or another car pulling out from a side road. I have also had the brake assist feature almost lock the wheels when I was trying to reverse park the truck. I can't put an object like a suitcase in the back seat without either having to lock the seat belt or tolerating the damn annoying alarm Isuzu installed. I wrote to Isuzu and suggested they come out with a software update that allows the driver to set the safety features to default at on or off - whatever their preference. But Isuzu sent me a form letter saying their safety standards comply with ANCAP. standards. It would seem an easy thing to offer, but it is clear Isuzu are not interested.

Maybe when doing the duraometer Show a little scale with the hardest plastics (and car tested in) at one end, and the softest (and car) at the other, and where this sits, just for a quick reference. That way you can glance at scale and know from great wall to rolls royce what the quality is.... Kinda like a crash test rating but for plastics

What is the difference between this and the top spec bt50 is it just the heated seats and auto diming mirror, and tub? Is all the safety specs the same?
@CarExpertAus
@CarExpertAus 4 жыл бұрын
I think that's it, Simon! From what I can tell there's a small design variation inside the cabin, but it's the heated front row and the auto dimming rear vision mirror (plus the sailplane).

I love the fact you have tested various Utes over the same course. However you did the log climb in the D max in 4 low when it was dry but did the Triton in 4 high when soggy under wheel. How good is the Triton!

I agree. I had on 1989 Isuzu Amigo years ago. I think it was called the MU in Asia. It was a no frills off-roader that could handle nearly anything you threw at it. It was so tough! I tried to break it and it just kept trucking. It also had the removable rear top. I loved that little truck.

Drove the Ranger XLT 2.0 yesterday. Today we are going out to drive the Isuzu. So far on paper with the options I want the Isuzu X Terrain is amazing value compared to the XLT. The worry for me is...how will the 2.0 Ford stack up against the Isuzu in 5 years from now in terms of reliability and resale value. My feeling is the Isuzu will have a trade in edge over the Ford.

@@CarExpertAus bought a X terrain but wont be ready until December. Thoughts of X Terrain VS Ranger 2.0? The Ranger to drive around town felt like you're tying to control a wild beast where as the X Terrain felt much more easy to drive in traffic. Items that beat the XLT Ranger (same value for money at the end of the day). Way better and leather seats, more value for money, way better layout on the front console (the Ranger seems to me they are trying add too many things and the cheapest price) the rear end was way more settled in the X Terrain and the finish in many places inside was better.

Hi Eisbar. I also test drove a XLT fully loaded and new DMax X Terrain back to back this week. Both $59,000 drive away cars. I prefer DMax. Interior feels much nicer. Isuzu feels more comfortable. Looks better. More features I like in the DMax. I’ll admit the ranger 2.0 engine and gearbox was slightly zippier. Ranger was also a tiny bit quieter. Close call, but I slightly preferred the DMax after the test runs. I’m in WA and four dealers I called all said earliest delivery is Jan or Feb for a DMax- they have sold all stock until then. What state are you in with a Nov estimated delivery?

Daniel O'Malley SA and December - January delivery. Yes, my experience with the bi turbo. Quicker off the line and quieter but once at 60kmh not much in it. I didn’t like the jittery rear axle in the Ranger.
