2017 ISUZU D-MAX REVIEW
Permalink  

Gday...

This is a lengthy article but covers the vehicle quite comprehensively ... without comment on towing ability unfortunately.

Definitely worth the read if you are considering a "modern ute"

OH ... and c'mon cry just read it and don't trot out the usual "my choice" is better.

Cheers - John

Anybody with a JJ1 engine on would agree too.

Basic. genuine work vehicle. Best on market. bar none.

Even back to my 2010 model.

Lots fancier. NONE more reliable.
Which is what most touring want.

Over and above the fancy bull**** shiny bits.

I agree, brought mine 2015 extra cab tray because of their engine and few electronics/bling. Wifey and I just came back from our first trip away towing our van and fuel came in at average of 9.9ltr/100k's. That is towing/payload about 2 ton over normal. Happy Campers for sure, froggos.
