I first met Shaun Whale at a 4x4 show in Brisbane 6 years ago. We got to chatting about Hilux's and met for coffee that night. We went for a walk in the park, talked about wheeling, held hands and watched the sunset. Shaun is an amazing guy and I will never forget that day.
They also didn't mention that the facelift D-Max that is in the video, it has a new infotainment system, it now has 2 dials. It is also night and day in terms of performance improvement.
I'm getting 8.3 ltr/100kms on my 23 MUX mixed road driving. I'm a little different in my needs and I needed the wagon. I have a blind business and can carry 2700mm blinds if need be with rear and mid seats down. Quoting on rural properties and some of our steep driveways near the ocean is best left to the MUX. 3d camera would be nice.
Personaly i think isuzu 4x4s are great but they can be so much better for instance, if they were to add another turbo to their 2025 3ltr version(3ltr twin turbo 4 cyl) front and rear diff locks, and maybe one or 2 more foward gears to that 6speed auto trani the copetition may have some issues 😉
New mux has the larger dashboard display like the latest Dmax or not yet as its behind a facelift revision? Also thought the new Dmax had audio knobs on the radio?
Buying a dmax or hilux instead of a ranger is just stupid at this point in time... indont even like ford, but it is undeniable, the ranger is like 1.5 generations infront now
Have you ever owned a Ford? Ford have great ideas, they just don't have the ability to implement them well. The gearbox in the PX1+ auto is the same in the Territory Diesel (a ZF clone) and when I had the Territory, it didn't even last 90000kms before it had issues.
This brand will disappear from our market soon when our Labor overlords 'ute tax' starts to bite, as they don't have any low emmission models to offset, so yeah nah.
