It is neither realistic nor safe to tow a 3.5 tonne caravan, just because your vehicle is rated to do that. Common sense suggests that 75% of the allowable tow weight is ideal and safe. In this example you have a caravan that weighs considerably more than the tow vehicle. It would not take much to have the GCM exceeded and void your insurance.Not to mention ramifications if you have a serious traffic accident
Even from distance it's obvious the distances between the different parts of the the body are not as small and equal as in the other Japanese brands such as Toyota, Subaru, Mitsubishi and Nissan. Not to say the vehicle is not good, quite the opposite it is, but there's a reason why it is cheaper than the alternatives from the other Japanese brands.
about the warrantee , I haven't done 100k in 10 years so would be ok 4 me, I do get that other folks would do a lot more kilometers. when lots younger 1k miles a week was a regular thing for me, [we have kilometers now]
We need this model in a PHEV with fast charger and reverse charge my home and tools .I live in South Africa we experience 6 hours blackouts per day everyday and into the future.
How do these other countries get past all the reliability issues with emissions on these diesels? In the states that thing would be in the shop constantly. Even our heavy truck long haul tractor trailers are extremely unreliable.
Does it mean the 2023 LST model sold in Australia (so far) doesn't come with a smart tailgate (as mentioned in ruclips.net/video/kB4jhZaR1VE/видео.html)?
I ordered an LST several months ago and am due to receive it in January. With the long lead time, I thought I would download a manual and get familiar with all the in's and out's of the vehicle. To my surprise, I could not find one on line. I called the dealer. They couldn't find one either and concluded a soft copy was not available. It is hard to believe that in the 21st century this automaker doesn't produce a soft copy manual. Shame on you Isuzu. I sent an inquiry to Isuzu Australia and got no reply. Shame on you Isuzu, again! I hope the remainder of my experience with Isuzu goes better.
I used Old MU-X and i love it. I think this one is really great also.
I think you meant 3.0 ltr turbo diesel, not petrol engine 😂. But a great review 👍

Good luck waiting for one, that’s why we went for the Toyota Fortuner. No regrets
Looks good. I sure would like to own one.

Lol that old guy in the beginning
The title says it takes the fight to the Ford Everest but no mention of which one is better. Based on the end rating the Everest should be a shoe in.
my ones ,the Isuzus have never broken down ,forget all the sales s@#t ,,they are top dog in the car world . Mixed metaphors eh !
Your presentation is just great and honest !!🙂

Richard’s my favourite reviewer and his presentation is always amusing.
It is a 4x4, not a SUV. SUV's have unibodies like Toareg, Cayenne, X5, etc. A 4x4 has a ladder frame chassis like this one here.
Diesel patrol engine?
My dream car
What's happened to Carsguide's Friday PodCarst? It's just disappeared with no explanation to the loyal viewers.
At 4:33 you say "all MU-X's have the same 3 litre turbo diesel petrol engine". A diesel petrol engine? I haven't heard of this one before!
Its a hybrid of both😅
Turbo diesel petrol engine?
ride rougher then a kluger or Palisade it will be but guru (car expert) can they both go where mu-x can?
We need this model in a PHEV with fast charger and reverse charge my home and tools .I live in South Africa we experience 6 hours blackouts per day everyday and into the future.
Not gonna happen any time soon because Isuzu didn't make them Yet,
@@koreappinesmusic Thats what you think i think its a joint venture with Mazda so watch this space
Wrong cap... no, not the Santa one, but the OverSteer one! Or was that for collectors only? 😜 Happy holidays anyway, Sir Berry 🎄
That's a beautiful car🎉

satu kata. keren
Awesome
Cool
has this Oz ever seen Top Gear ? me thinks so
He always says "Top of the Range" and not Top of the Line, That's not how it should be, it's not EV
Haha , "turbo diesel petrol engine " 😅😅😅😅
Yes it a diesel petrol hybrid and has both engines.
Does it mean the 2023 LST model sold in Australia (so far) doesn't come with a smart tailgate (as mentioned in ruclips.net/video/kB4jhZaR1VE/видео.html)?
Same old boring dull interior. Would've upped the game if they used the brown cool max seats from the thai spec
I like sedans over SUVs, sigh~~~
The new Ford everest any day..
Would also cost alot more plus ford aren’t known for overall reliability anymore
The problem with Everest is it has a Ford badge
First-time member of Ford. So far, the experience has been good. No complaints!
Why is bro built like an scp
This thing is too good n too cheap for aus..
.. I'm not sure if it's a boy or a girl.. LOL
Did he say diesel petrol engine?? 😂
Very vanilla review. Isuzu really haven’t done enough to compete against the Everest even with the price difference

Sounds like your been a Karen to me
Oh no! Someone call the waaaaahhhhmbulance
Efficient
stick to toyota, this thing drives and sounds like a postal van, not durable and crap resale
found the toyota fanboy.
What do people see in the look of this thing. IMO it looks cheap compared to other offerings. And it is expensive. Get real guys.
0:11 it’s pronounced “E-soo-zoo”, not “eye-soo-zoo”.
It's " I sue zu_
Can't believe they ruined a good car with a bloody electronic handbrake
Ther not capable...pejero sport is twice the car and cheaper
Only thing with the sport is that stipid middle seat belt
