Thanks for the review. I have been driving Twin Cabs for 30 + years - yep before the yuppies and "Normal" people found out what a great car it is in versatility ....... My "Holden" Isuzu is 19 Years old (under the Holden badge)- 300,000 klm on the clock and now due for the new version. Signing off tomorrow on the new car. Going for the 4WD as I am heading into semi retirement and talking to my mates telling me to get the 4WD model to open up the options for future travel........ looking forward to stepping into the world of a new car ....
Great review. Just picked up my 2024 X Terrain. Was very happy with my 2021 Model but always update every 3 years . In the review no mention of USB port attached to mirror console. No more chasing cables under dash and up the door trim for Dashcam. As for scrubbing Tyres my 2021 X Terrain did 52000kms on 1st set.
it has a revised front suspension geometry to negate the bump steer. there was a bulletin out to fix current models some were lucky to get tires replaced under warranty
@@wax333 Doesn't fix the problem. You still get excessive tyre ware with the current wheel alignment geometry. The problem is the steering knuckle. Its a poor design and Isuzu know it. Don't see why they won't fix the problem instead of just putting a bandaid on it.
@@mattblomberg2709 probably because it's a facelift and the new model will be out soon. from isuzu's perspective, it wouldn't make economic sense to completely redesign the front suspension. if you are going to change the knuckle, everything leading up to it needs to be changed as well. through, if i were in charge of isuzu - i would have it done.
my question as well, in south africa the non electric steering models shake of the bump steer.. shit to drive because of it.. looks like they have not listened
I’ve owned x terrain for nearly 4 years and are ready to upgrade. I test drove the Triton and I found it a little lethargic compared to the Dmax but the new Triton design wise is a shocker in person. I’m not touching a Ranger with all the problems that car has so I’ve ordered another XTerrain. Oh and BTW I’ve had no bump steer issues at all and the brakes are fine. I towed a 3 ton caravan around Australia.
When the afternoon sun is in the right position head on, turns off crash avoidance system I think . Tells you you’ve got a dirty windscreen. I thought that was pretty poor and I was pretty upset that it doesn’t have wireless charging in the centre console and I thought it would’ve had to re-LSD or just Jeff locks other than that I do like my new D max
As long as manufacturers are not passing shared development savings on to the customer, I am not interested in any of these "collaborations". If VW is anything to go by, then they are saving up to US$1bn PER YEAR by partnering with Ford on the new Amarok, yet we as customers are not seeing that saving, which feels a bit like a ripoff. I don't like to be ripped off...
Didn't listen too well about the shit front end that can't be aligned properly so now they're looking at a class action from disgruntled owners sick of wearing front tyres out in ten thousand kms
@@farmingsimulator8166 I bought a short wheel base altimate 5.1 metres in lenght due to city work , easier parking . 360 deg camera , heated and cooled seats , heated steering wheel , auto dim mirror , adjustable head lights from inside cab , tyre pressure monitoring , digital dash , more room inside than a dmax , 4x4 , auto diff lock . 2.2lt turbo , can't hear any road noise or engine sound . smooth as . and you get 7 years unlimited km warranty for 42k on the road . I had an RC colorado that was dmax rebadge before this one . Being a work ute , i don't need a ladder to get my gear out . iron man offer a factory lift kit that doesn't effect warranty . best ute i have ever owned so far so good . 30k cheaper . more featers than a dmax .
@@alexanderralph8341 My Ssanyong musso has way more features , ultimate for 42k drive away . 360 deg camera , vented seats cold and hot , heated stearing wheel . tyre pressure monitoring and more. .
Having purchased an Isuzu in Mazda clothing in 2022, I would never buy another one again. Gutless, transamission is the worse than my old HQ Trimatic. Super intrusive autonomous breaking that has detected the armcove railing, Terrible build quality with plastic joins with sharp edges... The list goes on.
The updated dmax in Thailand has 10" touch screen, new 360 camera with front and under car mode when offroad and usb connection in the centre mirror and inbuilt dashcameras. Should have more power though, im sure Isuzu can boost the power with little effort. Thinking about getting one, all brands have had some issues, but been watching 4wd 24/7, all4 adventure and its seems the isuzu has very little or no problems compared to other brands they are driving. And most would never do what these guys do with their ute
Did they fix the front end steering issue? so the tires don't wear out really fast? An Australian company designed a part to replace in the front end steering suspension unit?
Just compared Europe 2024 model max version (LSE) and the infotainment does not have the volume/tone knobs. They are pushing 2023 model as 2024 in Europe. Well then, what do you know - makes sense for me to ask dealer about that ;)
I have 2022 modal Dmax XTerrain brand-new after six months later there was a noise. Coming from the engine mount indicator doesn’t work sometimes which I know I have a lemon of Ute will never buy another Isuzu so disappointed with service department also
Invest - include - indulge - inside - infinite - inspired. Those EYE-SZUZU pronunciations are a bit obnoxious - its really not that hard to say it properly.
Isuzu...i hatr you😂. I needed a car and couldn't wait for you to add the diff-lock on your LSE model so I ended up buying the 2022 model...so now you add all of that I was waiting for you to add and now I got egg on my face.😂
OMG, rear drums! Still!! Flogging a dead horse Isuzu. Giant FAIL. It would of cost you a whole $200 to change I’m guessing. Just imagine what else you’ve skimped on.
Spot on with the "cooled" seats... and extra lumbar and adjustment. The remote start does help a lot in summer... No other ute has that on the key fob apart from my 10 year old VF I'm trading in ! And full time 4WD uses more fuel and wear and tear on the front dif.. i like to be able to chose 4WD when i want it.
i still see them as a holden rodeo/colorado basically the same as they were 15 years ago with a few bits of tech thrown at them over time at least they weren't $70k back then the duratrash colorado had 500nm from 2015 on even the triton is out doing them on torque now i'm stunned people still buy these overrated overpriced thai tractors
Do what I did buy the cheaper no frills version do a $1000 engine remap 600nm torque now engine is fantastic its how they should come from factory they would sell twice as many
I agree with you raaaaaaayyyyy, as the engine has plenty of potential to get better figures, But Isuzu utes Australia will void your waranty quicker than you can say "shit front end geometry!"
@Tammy-xf4kz yep, wishful thinking I guess. I've been one of the lucky ones and took mine to a specialist in the first 1000km and I haven't had an issue with wear in about 20,000km. The specialist set the toe about half way between the 'old' and 'new' (which didn't exist then) Isuzu settings. Best $60 I spent! Lol
what an absolute joke.. gave mine back because of this (in South Africa we have hydraulic steering) and the steering wheel shakes on even the most even of roads
But it will outlast the competition, for sure... The only one that could challenge the Dmax in durability is the Hilux. All others are high numbers posers, or cityboy trucks like the Amarok.
Isuzu is always behind with technology to their vehicles. Now they increased the price for the facelift... 😮 For a 3 liter engine still struggling with only 450 Nm torque. Toyota Hilux is already pulling with 550 Nm torgue 2.8 liter with their GR series.
