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!

Breaking news, the off road version of the navara is better off road than a road spec D-Max and Ranger

@giannissimitzis5560 Год назад

Yeah but the normal stx is e better all rounder anyways

@kylebutler7142 Год назад

Only the Ranger was road spec. The Dmax was X Terrain.

@coreyyates7956 Год назад

@@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...

@trevortaylor7702 11 месяцев назад

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

@M8YM8 Год назад

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

@pjkotze2307 Год назад

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...

@msggry9504 Год назад

Very interesting you mention it so well from an expert tires and suspensions for the D-MAX indeed thank u 🙏🏻

@santaisback7945 Год назад

Nissan Navara on the front looks like military armored vehicle. Nice video.

@kentaylor2950 Год назад

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.

@henkstols9326 Год назад

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.

@coreyyates7956 Год назад

unfortunately no np300 in the testing :( very disappointing

@shanea9613 Год назад

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.

@HDGHOLD Год назад

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.

@wesselbotha3928 Год назад

@kasugakyosuke6441 11 месяцев назад

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.

@darrensmith4661 Год назад

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 !

@grantinsley Год назад

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.

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.

@johnnumbat9782 Год назад

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.
