Nice & detail review, great job Mr Kon. By the way, i have a question regarding the remote engine start. Why the engine need to be turn off & restart again in order to move the vehicle. Doesn't it convenient that we can start the engine remotely, with the door lock, then we go the car, unlock it and just go. If it require to restart again the engine if we using the remote start, doesn't it will eat up the battery much faster? Hopefully can get a better understanding in this matter on why engineer choose to be it that way.
That's a very very good question. Keeping the doors locked while the engine is running makes sense from a security standpoint, but don't see why it needs to be shut off if the user unlocks the car, especially if from the keyless entry button on the door.
By far the best detailed (you seriously did your homework) for local Malaysian Market review is concern. I like the way you explain rear passenger row width and incline, engine and manual gearbox position, engine remote start, nature of hydraulic steering affecting safety suite. Haven't heard from any other review even other country review. Good job!
A really comprehensive review. Thumbs up!! Kon, if you are able to choose only one of the many pickup trucks that you’ve mentioned for an overland trip to Europe, which would you choose?
One question, I tested this truck and found that idling with aircond on, the truck will have a big vibration every 15-30 seconds (can't rmb exactly how long are the intervals) due to the aircond, the salesman told me it's common in all D'Maxes but I wonder if the big aircond vibration in all trucks or only in D'Maxes? And do ppl find it annoying?

can you give me an advise, which one i should get between dmax 1.9 and toyota hilux 2.4.?..for your info, my mainly purpose is for driving in town and sometime for long travel on highway. thanks.
Personally, I think the electronics gadgets of x-trail is overkill. With the hot and wet climate in Malaysia and East Malaysia in particular, I have doubt whether these electronics will survive. Premium variance be it 1.9 or 3.0 seems to be a more practical option.
@@KonWaiLuen hahah maybe another car for bobby to talk about the footrest soon? A very good video from u btw, I have test driven the car, love the feedback from steering, and totally agree that new dmax is a very very comfortable car to drive or ride now, just wish I could have test driven 1.9variant too, my family and I are more interested with 1.9 version
Hi Kon, great review and I can sensed some disappointment in you as whole nation under FMCO...like your say, we have to take good care of our self and loved one, stay safe. Lindung Diri, Lindung Semua.
Oh, I'll definitely be in full compliance of the lockdown. I'm grateful for the luxury of being able to continue working from the comforts of home and being able to provide for my family; but my heart goes out to those who live paycheck to paycheck with no end in sight to this ongoing crisis. This lockdown gonna hit people much much harder than MCO 1.0, but those of us who can afford it, let's do our part and stay at home.
The Isuzu and Toyota are at par, the Isuzu edges the Toyota at comfort and the Isuzu even though bullet proof can be just a tad expensive to maintain compared to the Toyota, should anything go wrong..
@@KonWaiLuen yes speaking from experience, I have 3 Isuzu's and waiting for the new one. 2008 250d model at 547000km only never been tempered with since new just regular service, 2013 300dteq at 360000km had gear box issues and had to change the gear all together (expensive exercise) 2017 250dteq 198000km flawless and runs like brand new..
The new navara start stop pickup at junction response are pretty slow need to wait few seconds b4 it moves, dmax i feel the power on 3.0 so so only and the engine very noisy, n need to pay so high roadtax. hilux rogue power ok but slow drive very bumpy and Fast speed ride like a boat🤷♀️ finally i tested triton...i refuse to get in the 1st place because its a quite old model, but after testing.. Its real pretty responsive, technology also ok. So finally i get myself a TRITON. But feel a little bit high fuel consumption. 1 tank at most i can go around 650km instead of dmax i saw fb ppl post xterrain can get 900km easily.
900km can confirm. I drive a 2013 D-Max and the FC is ridiculously low. Imagine a 250km difference every tank, and multiply that by the number of years you drive. That's alot of savings
I bought Triton 2008 Model in 2009 (more than 12 years ago), fuel consumption is OK for my driving style (gently) where I can go more than 900 km when I worked in Sarikei, Sarawak..... I drive from Kuching-Sarikei-Kuching once every week.... 360km one way, very good experience with my old Triton during that time..... 😅
@@KonWaiLuen Here, we are starting of using pickup. so par very few people use truck for their daily life except professional demand. Now we have 1 domestic pick up and 2 imported from US.. they still don't have Adas system yet, and using V6 3.6 gas engineen consumes too much gas... so I love to wait import this truck... one company anounced they will import this since fta with Asean and korea, so they can import this with small tax..
that button start is not to cool the cabin because it is recommended to turn off air conditioners before q=we hut down or start the engine. less current load on the battery but its meant to warn the engine and provide the engine oil flow peoperly in all parts before we take off hahahahahahahahahahahah dont make up bs please lol

The most impressive review for d-max so far, thanks Mr Kon.
The most detailed, insightful review I have seen for any motor vehicle, thus far. Great work!
I must complement you on your economy of words and clarity so very well done.
Good reviews, Kon very detail I'm sure you really do your homework
Thanks! Am motivated by our quality audience like yourself to keep doing better. Take care and stay safe.
Wonderful review....sufficiently technical without being too overwhelming on the details or jargon! I just love the Isuzu D-Max, so sexy!
Thanks for watching. Always striving to strike a balance between technical depth and ease of understanding to people on the street.
The 2022 vcross model is awesome!!.. hope it will be available in Malaysia next year.

Hi Kon, how about overall cabin experience and NVH compare to current Ford Ranger ?
Very good. The Ranger's NVH remains excellent despite being an aging product, but the D-Max is exceptionally refined.
Best review so far
I had been told 1.9 standard version still got 4 pieces of leaf spring, isn't it?
Is 1.9 bluepower sufficient for urban and light offroad usage?
One question, I tested this truck and found that idling with aircond on, the truck will have a big vibration every 15-30 seconds (can't rmb exactly how long are the intervals) due to the aircond, the salesman told me it's common in all D'Maxes but I wonder if the big aircond vibration in all trucks or only in D'Maxes? And do ppl find it annoying?
In Australia, Isuzu demax has the problem of uneven tyre wear. Do you have this problem in your country?
Not that I know of. Have they ascertained the cause of this?

Wow very good and detail review
Fact: dmax, triton and Hilux has the same 6 speed automatic transmission
It's good transmission. When you're doing 180km/h the revs will be Below 3000. On no6
can you give me an advise, which one i should get between dmax 1.9 and toyota hilux 2.4.?..for your info, my mainly purpose is for driving in town and sometime for long travel on highway. thanks.
for town use, the new D-Max is much more pleasant.
Great Review.
Thanks for watching!
What diffrent Isuzu vs madza bt 50
How did you get the wing mirrors to fold when you locked it?
There should be a button on the side mirror adjustment panel that enables/disables this feature, provided your car came with it.
@@KonWaiLuen ok thanks for the reply , good review . Unfortunately the uk models don’t come with this feature.
Personally, I think the electronics gadgets of x-trail is overkill. With the hot and wet climate in Malaysia and East Malaysia in particular, I have doubt whether these electronics will survive. Premium variance be it 1.9 or 3.0 seems to be a more practical option.
How about the left foot pedal, seems abit narrow for me, did kon have issue with it?
Was fine for me, but will check on this again. Because of lockdown, the test car is stuck with us. Haha.
@@KonWaiLuen hahah maybe another car for bobby to talk about the footrest soon?

woooow
Kon, 买Dmax过好，旱地买 Hilux?
两者都很好，但D-Max现在更精致了
Hi Kon 👋🏻 sy nk cari suv utk outstation & lenjan, sy kerja industry pertanian,,,, 2013 crv 2.4 @ santa fe crdi?

Good review. Unlike paul tans review that does not make sense. 🙄 They do not like all vehicles except misubishi lol

you should watch paultans review, bias towards triton. takde compliment langsung for the dmax. Tu tu that hafriz guy tuu
hahahaa.. actually.... I also biased toward Triton, but to each his own.
@@KonWaiLuen i bought triton because of your review. Thanks!
I am driving a 2012 Triton till today. Maybe a second coming

It is extremely rare in our industry that journalists ever had to refuel Isuzu test cars.
@@KonWaiLuen just wondering would Isuzu Malaysia bringing Dmax sibling, MUX into Malaysia very soon?
@@limhockmeng8163 its a manual or auto? Mine is manual during 2007 easily 700km 1 tank town driving
I hope that this car is imported to Korea without much price change. I like pickup truck.
What are the typical choices in your market?
@@KonWaiLuen Here, we are starting of using pickup. so par very few people use truck for their daily life except professional demand. Now we have 1 domestic pick up and 2 imported from US.. they still don't have Adas system yet, and using V6 3.6 gas engineen consumes too much gas...

Cheapest among competitors. Below 130k but roadtax 1.4 1.5k I think 🤔
No la... this version is RM140k. Road tax highest also, the only 3.0-litre engine in segment now.
@@KonWaiLuen oh, ty. The dmax website wrote 128k
No need lane keep assist , hydraulic better
dmax drives better than ranger and hilux by a SIGNIFICANT margin? REALLY
Was it only me the only one bothered with the oily patch on the driver side window? 😂
Oh.... it bothered me greatly too... during the editing phase.

Off road king hilux , sub urban king dmax, rubbish the rest
