- Опубликовано: 8 июл 2024
- Wondering how the new Ford Ranger Wildtrak V6 compares against the Isuzu D-Max X-Terrain and the bought-not-built Nissan Navara Pro-4X Warrior? Watch this 4x4 off-road comparison!
Adventure editor Marcus Craft puts these three 4WD pick-up trucks through their paces to see which is the best four-wheel-drive dual-cab ute of this trio.
Will it be the immensely impressive Ford Ranger Wildtrak V6, which has wowed us in other reviews with its polished personality, high-tech interior and comfort-friendly road manners?
Will it be the Isuzu D-Max X-Terrain 4x4, which set the standard as a safety benchmark, offers really strong value for money, and has plenty of road presence and street cred?
Or is it the Nissan Navara PRO-4X Warrior, which is a specialist 4WD double-cab ute with serious off-road credentials built into it right here in Australia?
We're sure you're busting to find out!

It may be worth a mention that the 7 speed auto transmission in the navara is the same unit thats in the v8 pwd patrol, so if it can handle a 5.7lt v8 ,it should be good for a 2.3lt diesel-powered ute
Good video Krafty. I think its worth mentioning the Dmax XTerrain is currently about 10-15k cheaper than the Wildtrak and Warrior. And if you are after an off-road weapon the Triton is great value.
My opinion, the Dmax is where I would go, simply put, that extra 10-15k could go towards some serious mods.
Just buy a Raptor.
@@farzana6676 you could buy two tritons for 1 raptor tho
@@kentaylor2950 You must be talking about bare bones base model Triton. In that case, the Raptor is 2x the car.
Raptor would be fun but I wouldn't want to go proper off road and camping in a petrol V6, would need to tow a trailer full of petrol around!
@@shanea9613 Did you see the V6 diesel consumption? Worse than petrol.......
Breaking news, the off road version of the navara is better off road than a road spec D-Max and Ranger
Yeah but the normal stx is e better all rounder anyways
Only the Ranger was road spec. The Dmax was X Terrain.
@@kylebutler7142 x terrain is just the fancy name for top of the range. nothing off road about it. still highway tyres, standard lift etc. just has heated seats, heated mirrors, factory roller shutter and factory flares...
Very interesting you mention it so well from an expert tires and suspensions for the D-MAX indeed thank u 🙏🏻
Navara is my pick. Rougher around the edges but is the best off-road and still has a 360 camera, plus is $10k cheaper than the new Wildtrak X
Well... If you want to compare the most off road ready versions of each UTE, rerun the test with the new Raptor, sure that will be a pretty different outcome...
what I want to know is what is the best transmission on the Navara, MT or AT? I personally hate AT. but I want to know if I'm loosing/missing on anything by buying a MT.
Nissan Navara on the front looks like military armored vehicle. Nice video.
WHY DOESNT ANYONE REVIEW THE FORD RANGER FX4 MAX AS A OFF ROAD VEHICLE OR EVEN SEE MORE REVIEWS
Because it's an old model now. Can't get it anymore from new.
Is there room for bigger wheels?
A proactive initiative for comparison... Thank you for being proactive.
I personally think 4wd24/7 does the most comprehensive testing aound, they fit all vehicles with the same tyres and bash the crap out of them and give their opinion on a winner. I dont always agree with their findings but when they done its all explained and it makes sense to me. I understand that not all reviewers have the same resources but to compare 2 road biased or standard form vehicles against a modified vehicle doesnt make sense.
unfortunately no np300 in the testing :( very disappointing
Test driven all of them and the Hilux too. The x terrain seats are by far the most comfortable seats I have ever sat in. Shame it lacks the balls of the ranger.
From what I've seen, dmax isn't fairing too well re reliability. Can't really compare it to the ford because it's too new but there are enough issues with the dmax that I cancelled my order for now (ordinary front suspension setup chewing tires, front diff exploding, lack of quality in finishes overall, crap driver assists). Great engine with an average everything else.
@@HDGHOLD dmax is reliable. You don't need all the power in the world for touring
Beautiful Coverage. I love Navara.
Price comparison please 🙏
Drive a Dmax Back to Back with a New Ranger V6 its like going back in time.
I could have told you that verdict before the video started. Next Time Pit Isuzu Arctic Truck against the Ranger 2x4 Single cab and see what works best for off-roading
Can you review an XLS?
Big advantages V6, without to forgot the big disadvantages of the V6, which makes it much more hungry than the competition, specially in some conditions like off-road.
As much as I appreciate the testing and efforts put in. Do everyone a favor. Put all terrains tires on the Dmax. This always your and anyone elses complaint when reviewing the Dmax. SO change Tires for any testing in the future.
Please do real comparisons. I am in the market to purchase a Ute for touring and off road. Yes with mods for Roo and under body protection. GVM increase from purchase (In Vic so have too to achieve reasonable load capacity) after adding vehicle protection. Am watching a lot of vids and test driving. Awaiting to see reliability of Range and possibly waiting long enough to see what Nissan, Mitu, toyota release next year. In the mean time I keep saving my $$ and keep watching. Sadly waiting, wanting to place an order.... So basically please produce quality content !
exactly, content for content sake. Who would actually find this video useful?
Why not compare the stx Navara cs these 2 ?
This isn’t apples to apples
And where would a standard Navara ended up....Nowhere or last? Take any standard, or aftermarket upgraded ute from the showroom floor, and pit it against the new Ranger Raptor, what will you have to say then? No excuses or bias?
The warrior slightly have advantages over the other 2
A regular Navara Pro4X should have been tested.
it will be better if you comparate this pick-ups but with a ranger raptor
may i suggest a raptor and this navarra, this comparison is not fair for the isuzu and ranger...
Raptor
Unfair test all vehicles should have been stock standard or beefed up to be fair. Regards Mike
Wildtrack that V6 is not good ..o will rather go for 2lt..on my opinion.however I with the d max..
Up the NAV baby.
I just don't understand how you can give a vehicle to an aftermarket company to upgraded and then call it a std UTE of the factory floor. Sure, all the other manufacturers want to have something that can get closer to the Raptor, and that is what the Nissan in this test is, so test it against the Raptor then. If you want to be fair though, get a D-Max with the same upgrades and a Wildtrack (or XLT) and compare them to the Nissan because we all know the Raptor is a totally different vehicle to any other mid sized UTE available anyway and has no real true competition, especially the new version. I understand you are given a specific vehicle by the manufacturers, but the buying public would prefer apples to apples tests. If you compare a peach to 2 apples we all know what the result is going to be before the time.
Why include a car, the Nissan, with a $10k upgrade package? It’s hardly a fair comparison against original equipment cars.
There is no way I can believe the fuel stats. Especially on the ranger. My old v6 petrol prado only ever got a fuel consumption reading that bad once when i was towing a 2.2t van and i was peddling it hard.
Agree with you on that Tony ! someone got the calculations all wrong
@@joedonaghue2952 - Matts Ranger Raptor video last week showed 31L per 100km also whilst off roading in 4x4 low range, that is to be expected for a twin turbo petrol with essentially double gearing (in low range) but no way the turbo diesel did the same, potentially got mixed up with instant fuel of did not do a full 100km off road or the driver locked it in low range with locked 1st gear and RDL on for the entire duration.
@@joedonaghue2952 If a 2.3 drinks 22.6 then the same terrain covered would see the Ranger number. Must have been tough, even the Dmax used 16.9. I'd trust the Carsguide people can calculate fuel usage.
I think the Ford Ranger is an awesome vehicle. It's got a very good Interior a very good design and love the engine transmission offerings. I can't wait till this vehicle arrives in America. The other 2 are pretty good vehicle's. However the new Chevy Colorado would beat the pants off the Isuzu D-Max. As for the Nissan Navara that's the truck I wish was sold here in America. Not the dumpster fire that is the Nissan Frontier that's sold here in America. In my opinion the Navara Is leagues better than the Frontier we have in the States. So if anyone wants to say that the Navara is a horrible vehicle all I have to say is this. Come to America and and test out the Nissan Frontier and they'll have a better appreciation for the Navara. Yes the Frontier is that bad 👎 🤢🤮. The only thing I would suggest Nissan change on the Navara is the transmission. I'd convince Nissan to throw out the old 7 speed slushbox transmission which is know to have issues and replace it with the 9 speed auto. Trust me major difference. The 9 speed is a much better transmission.
Ford ranger, Isuzu D-MAX fuel economic but onroad offroad better Nissan navara but number One best is Mitsubishi Triton
The Nissan has the looks that creeps up on you. You don't expect to fall in love, but then you do.
Until you look at its interior
@@kylosolo6128 I am still waiting.
Great vehicles, when you own one you realise how good they are.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Use a raptor
dmax for me. isuzu lives forever.
Why is there no mention of the new Raptor?
Because they're not testing it here. Not hard.
@@einfelder8262 what a pointless test then if you are not going to test them against the class leader.
Nissan Navara.
This comparison was silly. Next you should compare a standard ranger to a modified 79 series Toyota.
This is not a fair review
Well done Nissan, the Navara is a great vehicle.
I'd like to know what is Isuzu doing with the very ugly front grill. It confuses me :\
Yes DA - I mentioned this a year ago because the two horizontal trims with a ‘guess’ placement of the Isuzu badge is weird and very 80’s the Nissan front grill/badge looks better - yes I know most folk don’t give a fig about this but I’m unapologetically subjective about the aesthetic/pragmatism approach in design - 1. Navara 2.Hilux 3.Triton - the Ranger is looking more like a US truck each release.
I must admit I have always liked Nissans but will also wait to see what the new Hilux and Triton are like in 2023 - I smile when I observe the pro Ford folk who conveniently ignore the poor reliability and woeful customer service culture.
Navara pro4x any day 👍🏾
We all ended up in a Toyota, because of its parts availability.
Who is struggling to get parts?
Toyota and availability? Yeap good luck with that!😂🤣
Nissan paid the most?
Stupid comparison!!! Where is the top spec Raptor for comparison? Was this a paid ad for Nissan?
The raptor ran out of fuel and couldn’t make it to the top of the climb get it.
How much is a new raptor, does it fall into the same price bracket as these three?
Roll out the New Ford Raptor.....the outcome would have been different.
Would have probably made it half way into the climb before it ran out of fuel.
Imagine how much fuel that thing would drink off road !
Where’s hilux
On fire
@@dragonz_breath4072 what 😂the hilux is the most reliable Ute on the market
@@jamiemagdeleyns9152 lol most reliable with dpf problems and catches fire
@@dragonz_breath4072 my landcruiser prado with th same engine says different 😂
This would be the worst review I have seen , how can you compare a tricked up Nissan to 2 standard vehicles, I understand the embarrassment Nissan has with pro 4 and is looking for a sell because the sales of this vehicle has tanked.
Why not compare it to the raptor ? Shame on car guide how much did Nissan pay .
Does the new Raptor fall into the same price bracket as the Nissan and Isuzu?
How can you compare these brands without a Toyota hilux..
So so disappointing.. Can't even watch this.
Ugly Ford fuel numbers
lol who would believe that stats...
This advertisement is very anti on the Ranger. Most other reviews got better fuel numbers
Ford engine is a crap and problematic all the way, it’s still belong to TATA the same than the Jaguar and all the Fords, just the same engine problematic
