Don't think so,give just as much trouble as anything else. My mates 3 litre had head issues by 120 thousand and whole engine replacement by 160 thousand, very expensive and Isuzu were of no assistance even though it should have been fixed under warranty
I drove a hired Ranger Wildcat V6 for a Holiday over 3 weeks. Nice ute, but I had to return the first one back to the car hire because it had all manner of electrical gremlins with it safety systems and infotainment. The car hire people said that out of 50 new Rangers that they received, 4 of them had to be returned for similar issues. Not a good stat for reliability.
Got a Dmaxwork ute. Engine is great as well as transmission. However....tyres worn out on shoulders up front at 19k, front camera constantlying on the fritz, auto braking activates at random moments with no vehicles in front and the factory suspension is rubbish. 50k on it now and already up for a 3rd pair of front tyres......Isuzu not interested in fixing the steering knuckle issue causing the premature tyre wear.... Next ute WONT be a Dmax!
I owned a 21 Dmax xterrain for nearly 4 years, towing a 3 ton caravan around Australia for 2 of those. Not one issue. I recently went out and bought another 24 xterrain trading in my old Dmax for good money I thought. I think it’s also interesting in the test the 10 speed transmission vs the 6 speed. The Dmax engine compared to the Ranger’s 2.0 litre and the V6 is far less stressed engine. This adds to its robustness, longevity and resale.
Have a 21 dmax as a company car (so no bias as no money invested) - to keep it simple, its a comfortable ute to drive, motor doesn't seem bothered to achieve what it needs to achieve (feels easy to get there and not struggling or reving itself to get its way there) and no issues with it at 80k now. Also gearbox is really smooth for just a 6 speed
Giving opinions on reliability can also be subjective rather than factual. Plenty of people won't buy euro with the perception they are unreliable and expensive to fix. I personally would never buy a BMW as I know too many family and friends who have had problems with them. Given these both have full 5/6 year warranty as reviewed, maybe you could offer your opinion of which one you would buy in and out of warranty instead? Alot of people including myself wouldn't own any common rail diesel after 200K and out of warranty. Cheers
I own a navara d40 2009 158000km on clock,never crossed my mind doing 0 - 100 comparison when i bought the vehicle,its a trailer on wheels with an engine.imho
It's crazy that some on ramps to freeways aren't long enough for these slow utes to reach freeway speed when merging. You can understand it with big heavy trucks but not something ute sized. Load it up with the tools of the trade and perhaps a trailer and the thing is painfully slow. I'd hate to be in that situation.
Great video. I have a request. Can you kindly do a 4x2 comparison of the hilux, ranger , Nissan, triton , Isuzu, and all other utes. And perhaps test them with loadbins loaded. As an owner of a 4x2 bakkie I feel left out 😂. I don't do any off roading I just use my bakkie for work.
Are these pickups (or utes) in Australia sort of like an F150 in the Murica? Everyone buys them, but no one actually uses them to carry or tow things? Or am I wrong?
Not wrong , mostly the Brads from IT and the Trents from sales that bought one to 'butch' up. Don't tow, don't go offroad and don't use the tray. Remember gents just because you bought a Ute doesn't make you good with your hands, just ask your missus :)
Compare size to size. Ranger 3L will do better munch better .Even with that Isuzu hooked on the towbar..By the way, doesn't Isuzu and Ranger share gearboxes,as it is shared project development between the? And Toyota is also part of Isuzu?
You need to get 200km/h or Unlimited speed limit signs for your private drag strip to fool the Speed Sign recognition in vehicles. That'll make me smile :) P.S. Happy New Year!
Do people really care which car would win a drag race…? I have a 2014 D-max that has dove over 250K with absolutely no issues. I LOVE it and can’t justify upgrading it!
No, the Dmax won simply because of it's wider and longer torque band at 1600-2600RPM for peak torque and 1400-3250RPM for midrange. The Ford doesn't have that, only 1750-2000 rpm for peak torque. The Ford's torque band is too narrow.
if you tow 3.5t with either of these things you end up with barely enough payload for a driver little lone a family and all the other come along parafernalia
Lol. A race, between utes. Ummm. Yawn. Since they are apparently sports utes, take them for a run around the track! Their live rear axles and drum brakes will be awesome
Ford has too many gears. Its overweight. And has a small displacement engine. Not a very good combo. They should have just uprated the 3.2L 5 cylinder to like 250ps and maybe 600nm.
I think it matters because it gives an indication of how easy the vehicle is to live with day to day, ease of overtaking, acceleration on to highways etc. I have gone from a slow 4cyl diesel to a much faster straight 6 diesel and I would never go back.
@@user-pp6kw6yl6z There is not a diesel dual cab Ute on the market today which does not comfortably accelerate from 0-100kph and more importantly from 80-100kph. Comparisons over a few 100th of seconds is meaningless in a lived day to day ownership experience. Anyone swayed by this is missing the point of light truck practicality.
@Ross-e9o that's fair, dual cabs are all pretty good these days. I used to have a 1985 2.4 diesel hilux. I don't think it couldn't have been any slower.
@@user-pp6kw6yl6z Know exactly what you mean, I had a 1988 4 Runner which looked great but was an absolute slug. I doubt it would get to 100 going downhill in under 2o seconds.
Not trolling pal, anyway you seem to be a troll, what’s the Title of the Video? Towing test…? No whose fucken towing with a 125cc class sized scooter Anyway 4 cyl diesel utes are shit
Why do a comparison on these vehicles. Its not apples for apples whichever way you look at or try to suggest it. Find 2 vehicles that are very close apples to apples and compare that would be a better comparison for a video.
What a stupid comment about a drag race. Every one who knows anything about diesels can identify this is just a just the throttle response tune fit an EVC throttle controller to both this will eliminate the factory throttle response and put them on the same level. This is the same as the older Triton which was a bout the fastest over the 1/4 mile now it has changed its response. Drag racing is a crock when it comes to utes or any 4WD, no one I have ever known just puts their foot to the fire wall every time they take off but what they do is transport themselves, tow trailers or vans safely.
Just my honest opinion from a nobody. Average review. Havent covered anything the average person cant see for themselves on a brochure. Boring content presentation sitting at a desk. As for the utes, two incomparable vehicles. Ranger is light years ahead with ford spending 8.2 billion in R&D to bring us the most up to date advanced vehicles versus Isuzu who struggle to even put out a figure for R&D. In terms of vehicle issues, every make and model has issues its just whether or not you are unlucky enough to get a lemon. Dmax has a long list of issues same as Ranger. No good telling us "You've heard stories", we have all heard stories. Its a car review/comparison, put up some evidence or stats. I dont think this will sway anyones decision on which ute to buy. As you can see from the comments, everyone backing the Dmax already owns one. We use Dmax's as trade Vehicles and we call them Tractors, not pretty or glamorous but they get the job done.

Dmax goes really well, thats the best 4 cylinder ute engine out there
Tried tested proven, the 4jj1 is most reliable engine you can get in a ute, in 4cyl. DSL. Turbo section.
@@damiansortie3330 Ranger has 300+ extra weight + chunky tyres to deal with.

It's simple to sum up, Dmax owners don't have to compensate for anything.
Basic, practical and those that own them know what else makes them better.

I too am not a fan of dual cab utes, you have mentioned 4x4 SUV is your preferred transport, what is your pick? 250, everest, MUX.......
dmax won because of the wheels on the ranger, try the wildtrak the dmax cant catch it..
Lol
4 cyl wildtrack ?
It won because it weighs 300kg less
Rangers are pieces of shit mate that’s why it lost. Garbage vehicles
Pig steel weighs more

Do isuzu x rider and tremor
I just don’t get drag races with 4x4 Utes.
if it have wheels and engine then people will drag race it, what's so hard to get?
Kinda pointless I agree but it also does kinda show the comparison/indicator of speed when trying to merge on the highway etc
Hilux vs D-Max?
why in chanel pdrive tv ford 2.0 faster than dmax 3.0 simmellar engine int that
@@mahdizwawi-l2k That test was with the Sport variant. It would have been a bit lighter. And it didn't have the chunky tyres 👍
The isuzu will outlast that ford by far
10r80 are just trash plus the wet belt system for the timing belt is just stupid.
dmax in reality=210hp/500nm
No, the Dmax won simply because of it's wider and longer torque band at 1600-2600RPM for peak torque and 1400-3250RPM for midrange. The Ford doesn't have that, only 1750-2000 rpm for peak torque. The Ford's torque band is too narrow.
And yet the Dmax still out-runs the Toyota which also has a wider torque range
@@HolyGrail98 also the weight difference of 300kg
@@HolyGrail98ford has more torque at higher rpm as well, that's why it has more horsepower.
@@lkupidlk3473 More torque at higher RPM? No doesn’t work that way. Diesel engines don’t make torque at high RPM. HP yes as with petrol.
