Isuzu D-max V-Cross Review and Off-Roading | Better Than A Family SUV?

This week on Buckle Up Harry gets his hands on a pickup truck and boy is he excited. Isuzu have a new top to their range in the form of the D-Max V-Cross, with a fancy interior and the latest tech it's aiming to appeal to lifestyle buyers and families that would have previously chosen an SUV, as well as wrestle some buyers away from its rivals the Ford Ranger, Toyota Hilux and SsangYong Musso.

Great episode! Thanks guys

[@BuckleUpShow]

Thanks for watching, Matt! More pickup action coming soon!

What sort of MPG do you get mate? Fully loaded with the family and all the stuff holidaying on a good run I probably get 26-28mpg from my L200 2019 These look better to be fair and a good price too

[@BuckleUpShow]

I got around 30 for the week I had it on test, but it wasn't particularly heavily laden, I would guess it would end up being very similar

[@richardsutton01]

It's a great truck at a reasonable price but, if you want to get anywhere near a mile-munching large SUV then the V6 Amarok is the only viable option. You get genuine SUV performance and acceptable noise levels although the suspension, when unloaded, is still jiggly compared to an equivalent SUV. However, for easy long distance autobahn driving, hour after hour at 100+ mph, there is no other option, ignoring the short-lived Merc truck.

[@BuckleUpShow]

Yeah but no diffs in the Amarok, can't be doing with that

[@richardsutton01]

@@BuckleUpShow I've got a diff locker on my Amarok but I guess you mean no High / Low option.

[@BuckleUpShow]

Oh really I thought it just did the breaking one wheel thing like a suzuki jimny to fake it, my mistake

[@peacockking3687]

Love the colour

[@BuckleUpShow]

I’m blue dab-a-dee etc

Isuzu d'max 1.9 this strong?​@@BuckleUpShow

[@sayeediqbal3568]

What is the actual fuel economy and not the one shown in the meter board...

[@BuckleUpShow]

Around 30 MPG combined, or in other words better than the other trucks I've had in for review

[@billdoug]

That’s probably best in class can’t see the others doing better than this

[@anitakishabwalya1425]

I like your car I will buy one

[@BuckleUpShow]

Thank you, it belongs to Isuzu not me though

[@mohlalifimoji2744]

I would like to have one

[@BuckleUpShow]

Same

[@Pinzpilot101]

My wife has just bought the AT 35 version and she likes it. Me it's OK......I,ll keep my Jeep Wrangler Rubicon unlimited.......But to buy the Jeep equivalent would have cost almost 20,000 more??? Jeep gladiator is not worth 20,000 more....neither is the Ineos Frogmaster.

[@BuckleUpShow]

Jeep products are inconceivably expensive in the UK, they seem to charge the same in £ as they do in $. The closest rival for the AT35 is the Ranger Raptor, which is still more expensive but only by a little bit.

[@McCrazyFish]

I miss that truck

[@BuckleUpShow]

We’d say it misses you, but it’s an inanimate object and probably doesn’t have feelings

[@jackryan905]

when can we see some more off roading videos on the channel?

[@BuckleUpShow]

There’s a Jeep review coming soon 👀

[@jacobking4106]

Wish America had this.

[@BuckleUpShow]

The truck or the reviewer?

[@jacobking4106]

@@BuckleUpShow we'll take both.

[@Midlife_mike]

What was the real world fuel economy?

[@BuckleUpShow]

Around 30 MPG combined

[@phillipbonalde1859]

Harry seems to be in his element

[@BuckleUpShow]

You would be correct

[@rajindernijjer]

Hilux please

[@BuckleUpShow]

Trying to get access to one currently

[@sweed58]

The hilux is only aloud to do 50mph on A roads as it is over 2040ULW

[@rajindernijjer]

@@sweed58 no it's not it's dependant on the weight I last time I checked it's something like 2100kg if you add hardtop would be over they always changing this shit it's bs.

[@sweed58]

It doesn't matter what you add it is the factory weight,police up here are doing pickups for speeding on A roads,Ford ranger,Toyota highlux and Nissan all to stick to 50mph,all isuzu dmax and mitsubishi l200 are OK they are same as car,we only found out on Saturday as the police tried to do us for speeding in mitsubishi l200

[@rajindernijjer]
