As a native Texan living in 'Merica I had the good fortune of becoming friends with an Aussie while being stationed in West Germany in the mid 70's. His ability to use sarcasm to describe stupidity was astounding. I've since met a number of other Australians in my 70 years and they are just adept at the use of sarcasm. However, Mr. Cadogan takes it to dizzying heights and makes it a true art form. My hats off to you sir as you are in a class by yourself.

Even the free part is wrong. If panels and related equipment last twenty years and your EV averages 4 miles/kWh it still cost you around 2 US cents per mile. Panels don't just appear on your roof for free and cost nothing to maintain.

Give this vehicle yet another overstated ute to underground miners . Once the vehicle is past 6mths old front /rear suspension and brakes will need to be replaced every 3 months . The vehicle once stopped rusting due to no steel left to corrode at the 2-3 year mark is ready for SIMS scrapper . A giveaway is when the body mounts wear thru the body/chassis and the radiator is holding up the front panel work . REAL WORLD TESTING

we have a 3 year old d-max here in nz, its been pretty good but had issues with the after sale service. anyways went in for service at 5000km, 2nd one at 15000. we asked does should it need a wheel alignment and got told no. few weeks later we get a flat tyre. tyre shop tells up all 4 tyres are all seriously worn on the inside. he checked alignment and it was way off on all 4 wheels. isuzu told us " you must have hit a pot hole etc." well we sure as hell didnt hit 4! end result they wouldnt come to the party at all, back to tyre shop for an alignment and 4 new tyres. so that was near on $2k because factory alignment was useless.

I can believe a talented engineer can somewhat fake the Gibb on a machine, but tortuously and effectively similarly test the GPS, not so much. I have also driven the Gibb, really driven it, without raising a sweat in well prepared 200 series. Those of us who have actually been there know that preparation and driving habits have a bit to do with whether you arrive in Kununurra or Derby on a flat bed.

Hello Johnna , if you asked every Australian where the Gibb River Road was 90% wouldn't know . The people in the Isuzu advertising department have thought someone else has looked through the brochure and just released it .I worked at a mine, underground. A dozen electricians , with about 15 men assisting , were about to move a transformer .So they were disconnecting the large 3,300 volt cable and a huge flash happened. It singed a lot of hair and put a couple of electricians in hospital with an instant sun tan .Not one of those electricians thought to turn the bloody power off .Each one thought that someone else had done it .I think the same thing has happened with the Isuzu mob .I remember a girl was travelling the Gibb River Road, and her car tyres were torn to shreads .This was on 60 minutes. She phoned emergency services and the woman who answered the call didn't believe her where she was, and refused to send help .There was a large hill near by , so she climbed that and rung her brother inlaw in Sydney .He was having his lunch at Circular quay .Luckily, the call went through to him and he phoned emergency services. The police drove in to get her and same thing happened to them and they were stuck also .They called in a helicopter to save them all .I don't know what happened to that call centre operator, at the very least she should have been sacked .What would that woman have done if that phone call hadn't reached her brother in law .We all love your work, John , very informative and entertaining..

I don't think that there's a single 4WD vehicle manufacturer that builds a vehicle that DOESN'T still get aftermarket modifications by true off-road adventurers to make them perform better off road, even the legendary Land Cruiser! The bottom line is, but the base 4WD version for a crap ton less and put the RIGHT upgrades on it. As for your slur about the Flinders Ranges, there are many areas that offer challenges to even the most seasoned 4WD-er as well as beautiful scenery.

Alot cheaper and without the hideous stickers!! 😊

Isuzu runs special discounts online (can only see in the “Offers” side of the their website) and you’ll see that Isuzu X-Terrain is $67,990 or $68,685 for colour options. The Blade should be a competitor against the Navara Warriors, without the bigger tyres unfortunately….

Alice Springs to Marble Bar via the Gary Junction Road would have been a better test, did that back in July in a 79, it was rough. Also, I thought the the Gibb River Road, Kimberley was in Western Australia not the Northern Territory, seems who ever wrote that (Maybe ChatGPT) doesn't know.
