Thanks Shauno... I've been considering a new 4X4 and wondered just how the Isuzu would fair, as I really like the new aggressive look and the obvious history of the brand. You've just convinced me on the purchase... Thanks heaps!!!! 4WD 24/7: A great service to the Off Roading community. Cheers.
@@conzo9055 paid or not.....anyway..as a Toyota fan .. I've to admit that dmax is absolutely a great ute. For example in Tunisian market, where people overloads ute "over the unbelievable" , D-max is the best seller and beats Toyota 10 to 1. The 2021 is even more comfortable and that's gonna be good for western markets. Cheers from Italy
Remember when Graham used to go on about "that traction control" in the old videos? "Don't know how it works but it just does", yeaah nah clearly needed a locker
I just went and bought a 2021 dmax! After seeing you guys drive it literally everywhere it convinced me. Its from a isuzu dealer with 50k km on it, pretty much stock Black edition with magnum package. 😊
The only thing I don't like about all the extra safety features i.e the lane departure assist is that you have to turn the setting you want off every time you restart the ute. Definitely needs an update so it stays off until you want it on again
I’m looking at a 2021/2022 D-Max. Do you know if they have fixed the lane departure/ auto emergency braking? It’s the only thing that’s making me hesitate
Hopefully they have fixed the CV angle this time. Series 2 Dmaxs have the front diff sitting back so the CVs aren't straight with the hubs. Made them more prone to breaking. No mention of it here.
I'm pretty sure the IDAS won't be of any "assistance" when the windscreen replacement cost goes from $500 up to $2000. Radar systems hit your wallet harder than you would've hit someone else without it.
Good to see they have adjusted the suspension and steering components, that was the weakness off the previous model... Isuzu really needs to learn how and why to mount a higher alternator though 🙄
Hey Shauno, thanks so much for doing a proper test. i have watched perhaps half a dozen reviews on this car and so frustrated that they keep saying they are not allowed to take it off road. Thanks for your opinion also. We know your experience and trust your judgment. Cheers to all the experts. i will be choosing them for my upgrades.
Thankyou so much for a 100% Honest review on the New D-MAX it's so refreshing to get the truth instead of bullshit from other reviewer's out there ABSOLUTELY AWESOME Can't wait for you to test it against the rest on the market. Lets see if it's NUMBER 1. Off to buy the LSU model Cheers Brandon. Queensland.
Shows how good the MR Triton is and was. The MR took their first place on Ute of the Year test before value was factored in (and when value was factored in, it accelerated away further). If they are now saying the new Isuzu is a contender for the top spot it shows how far Mistubishi was ahead of the pack several years ago when MR came out. Glad Isuzu had caught up (albeit without full time 4wd which remains a Triton solo win and the Isuzu is much pricier). Cheers
@@D13-r9w its funny that manufacturers state rubbish clearance figures but Mitsubishi is one of only 2 that are fair dinkum about their clearance specs. But like any DCU they could do with more clearance. Still in the last test these guys did it did the rutted hill climb like a goat and no clearance issues compared to the other utes so there is not much in it. Cheers
@@D13-r9w interior wise the GLS Premium is a nice place to be on long trips. Again when these lads tested they had it in the top rungs for comfort. They do good seats these days. Cheers
There is one issue with the Rear Diff Locker and that is that the wiring is in a spot that can potentially get ripped out by a stick etc. GMF have a protection plate you can install as well as a cabe protection plate as well for better support like the transmission etc can be protected
I’m in the same boat. Currently looking at new 2019 plate GLS Prem for under 40k with towbar. Warranty doesn’t start until I drive away. I drove the DMAX and loved it. But with the towbar fitted to DMax, the difference is close to 18k. Yes, its a better car, but that saving pays for new wheels, canopy, springs, racks, etc. It’s a tough one. If I go ahead, will always think about the DMax but that is serious coin to put down excluding extras. Sounds like you got a great deal.
In my opinion the triton is a no go because of the amount overhang on the rear of the axle. The tray is huge and they did not extend the wheel base enough
I own a 4wd duster, my dream UTE is the D-MAX and just to live in Australia and do what you do. That new D-MAX when it has a bullbar bumper replacement is going to look wild.
I'd like to see 4WD24/7 do some "how to" driving videos. Be really nice to hear/see you talk about a particular track, what to look for when taking a line etc. A lot of the trip videos touch on it, but a dedicated video would be awesome for newbies.
I hope Shauno is getting a clip from Isuzu for the sales directly related to this review....bloody sensational. No other review comes close to this....
Here in Europe the D-Max comes with a 1.9L turbo engine...............so alot of people skip to the Hiilux with a 2.4L turbo engine. No replacement for displacement.
@@RogerM88 Petrols have twice as long service intervals along with far cheaper injectors and fuel pumps, plus turbos never last on diesels, I know the consumption is more but it evens out. I don't know about your taxes but in Australia it's different.
Greetings from Guatemala Belize. Thanks for the review Shauno. Here Isuzu is highly respected for its durability. Didn't hear much on fuel efficiency improvements. Thanks.
@@Ga7cun7sSUCK yeah they do mate, but they don't have solid axles. The cruisers can be tuned right out to get massive gains if you wish. Plus the fact that about 40% of the 4wd market is supported by the 70 series cruisers it makes them too good when modifications and reliability and power are combined.
So basically what you're saying is that when Graham gets his hands on the new D-Max, all we're gonna hear every 2 minutes is," Holy heck that rear locker works so bloody good let me tell ya!" I'm gonna need another 6 pack boys.
Nice review, if your going to review more 4wd's any chance you could do the Ram 2500? :) cheers and love the work you guys/gals put in to keeping us entertained.
Interesting review - sounds like they’ve finally sorted the integration of the auto and the engine - the old mating was a dog! Shame the tech they’ve included is nothing new in the sector, nor is the 4wd system as sophisticated as the tritons Super Select II - a missed opportunity? 🤔
@@microscar Graeme literally always gets a free current model Dmax lol. They are massive partners. He literally rolled one on a normal road and had another kitted out in a few months. Why do you think he feels it necessary to keep talking his old one up after every little thing. Most of the time hes the only one that cant get up a hill. "Oh i could have got up here but its not worth the panel damage".. yeah righto mate. Or blames having small tyres, righto then put on some bigger tyres. Oh thats right, dmax cant put on 33s without portals lol.
@@Ragranos Agree with you for sure, but by the looks of the locker and higher clearance Graham might actually bloody finally make the tracks the other boys do!
@@Ragranos yes they can, 🤣285/75r16s or 33s slip under a suspension lift of 40mm+ pretty easily wothout any sort of portal work and it's a common tyre size for dmaxs and luxys 🤣jebus! But yep, it's a heavily paid presentation.
New Isuzu looks awesome! I was wondering if you had any recommendations for any super reliable 4wd towing cars for towing horses? In my case the load would be approx. 2 tonne, but I have heard from a lot of car people that quite a few 4wds/ utes aren’t designed for or stable enough for that type of load, with two horses (500-600kg each) moving around/changing weight distribution during transit. Obviously Land Cruisers can’t be beaten, but the price point is an issue. Would something like the Navara V6 diesel be an option? Cheers, Chantelle.
This is terrific news. The older ones, while dependable, always felt rough around the edges..... in almost everything 🤣. This and the new Triton would be my top picks for a new ute 👌
just noticed you cant replace the front bumper with a bullbar, will need to cut the bumper and fit, cause the new DMAX has the bumper molded round the headlights.... will be like the colorados i wreckon.
Skippy DaBush thats gonna be every ute soon, and everyone should know never buy the first gen of vehicles coming out wait until they fix issues the next year
Yeah exactly. Everything has small changes but there’s a lot on here that’s basically the same. The transmission and engine being similar is actually a good thing
4WD 24-7 😂🤣 it’s such a shame that you guys are just paid cheerleaders now. The old D-max is so inferior by every objective measure, and whilst the new one is a huge step up, it still well below most other offerings, except in tech which, until this dmax came out, you dissed on other vehicles.
man this the perfect review and comparing the vehicle by ripping it what changed in suspension system and love the whole comparison concept.....best i had seen in youtube......👍
I'm very happy with my 2008 RC Colorado (4jj1 engine). I've got good tyres and just put an auto lokka in front (it has rear LSD). I maintain it myself. I bought it in 2012 for $24k. It has no depreciation.
I got MY22.75 Dmax Xterrain… after 1,900 kms and 2.5 months. The CV boot is broken and lump sum of grease just came out and sitting on the control arm. 2 Isuzu dealership aren’t keen on checking and helping me out, have to wait a week to be checked.
What Tyers did you have on the D-Max I'm guessing you have changed the Tyers to suit the train you tested this vehicle. Be good to know people. Thank you kindly John dickson.
Good IZUZU commercial, Shauno. I would have thought it would Graham's jig but.. I still watched.😆 Didn't know every manufacturer uses the same trans. Rockets the Man!
They sure did. This was also done for all utes in their off-road test earlier this year. It’s a shame we don’t make these puppies here in AUS. If we did you can bet there would be better tyre and off-road options that would be available at the dealership. It’s not a huge issue. but 5 tyres costs $1700-$2000. I can think of some uses for that cash. Also, people don’t tend to want second hand ones, so it’s hard to get much for the ones you take off.

I watched a “new Isuzu dmax” video last week and thought “I wanna see 4WD 24/7 do a review on it”
And they did!!!!!!
The fact that Graham wasn't consulted for this video is a crime!! Still enjoyed it though!
I was thinking the same thing
Hell Nah very good point
It's almost an insult!
I believe Graeme is stuck in WA thanks to Covid?
He could have done a cameo from WA
take a drink every time shauno crosses and uncrosses his legs in the intro haha
Training for ballet

Yeah but "Jimmy Brings is not available in your area"

Was an Isuzu truck mechanic and can say they build incredibly reliable machines (except prime movers) but they're warranty box was always empty appart from the odd re-call... Unlike other brands we had "coughbenz"
Wouldn't mind seeing a comparison video between the newly face-lifted utes: BT-50, Hilux, Triton and D-MAX
New BT50 is based off a dmax
They often leave out the part “how long do they hang together” resale? Etc
How do they go on the “don’t beak down” list
@@jasonmosdell yea the bt50 is the same as a dmax just different badges, interior and body panels but mechanically they are the same
Gone Bush Pretty hard for them to test that in a short period of time though to be fair...
The new BT50 and the D-MAX have the same features and engine I'm pretty sure.
Just ordered this Ute so happy to see this review. The only review I'll listen too
Love how they test them for how most people use them, not driving in town, and looking at the interior. Wicked
Keep in mind there's a good chance they are supported in some way by isuzu to make this video.
They get given these cars for free of course they're going to say it's good 🤠
Takes me back when graham used to yell traction control all the time
He still does.....
Honestly growing up with this show was amazing but i wish they did a Collab with roothy for nostalga
This is what i like about 4wd 24/7 reviewing ute they dont give a damn about soft touch material and apple carplay or andriod auto.
The most complete test review of isuzu d-max 2021.
Good job, dude!
Thanks Shauno... I've been considering a new 4X4 and wondered just how the Isuzu would fair, as I really like the new aggressive look and the obvious history of the brand. You've just convinced me on the purchase... Thanks heaps!!!!
4WD 24/7: A great service to the Off Roading community.

Remember when Graham used to go on about "that traction control" in the old videos?
"Don't know how it works but it just does", yeaah nah clearly needed a locker
it's like whenever he mentioned sooty getting a front locker, pure jealousy!!!
Now this is how a vehicle review SHOULD be done.
I wish every vehicle review on TH-cam was done like this!
Tim from mitz : 'we can't wait to see graham's one on the tracks'
Soooooooo he's getting one, sweet
Isuzu just gonna sponsor him one so the he does a long term bush review.
I just went and bought a 2021 dmax! After seeing you guys drive it literally everywhere it convinced me. Its from a isuzu dealer with 50k km on it, pretty much stock Black edition with magnum package. 😊
Hey mate, would love to see the 2021 MUX put to test on 4WD against its rivals. That would be an amazing segment.
In my opinion the best-looking Pickup on the market, even compared to the new Ranger. And it also feels good off the road.
The only thing I don't like about all the extra safety features i.e the lane departure assist is that you have to turn the setting you want off every time you restart the ute. Definitely needs an update so it stays off until you want it on again

Yew, it definitely looks the goods. Unfortunately the finance minister won’t sign off on the purchase request 😂
How has that not got more likes.....

Finance minister = wife?
@Hello Richard how are you doing
Hopefully they have fixed the CV angle this time. Series 2 Dmaxs have the front diff sitting back so the CVs aren't straight with the hubs. Made them more prone to breaking. No mention of it here.
I will be purchasing a new dmax x terrain with in the next few weeks. Simply, because of these guys. Cant wait to do it up!
Needed to do the hill in the new dmax without rear locker as well to see how traction control only behaves compared to the old
I brought this d max because of this TH-cam video and taking it off-road tommorow for the first time.
I was looking forward to this review by some professional off-roaders and finally I found this vid
I'm sold out by your review mate, pretty much no one does 4wd reviews like you guys.
Perfect timing, I just finished watching the mega Ute test and was hoping for the new dmax! Cheers legends!
I'm pretty sure the IDAS won't be of any "assistance" when the windscreen replacement cost goes from $500 up to $2000.
Radar systems hit your wallet harder than you would've hit someone else without it.
Definitely tick windscreen cover on insurance for this one
More things to go wrong in my opinion
Big deal really lol... Can't afford it don't buy one then. It's called insurance.
It's probably 90% of the $6000 price increase as well
Good to see they have adjusted the suspension and steering components, that was the weakness off the previous model... Isuzu really needs to learn how and why to mount a higher alternator though 🙄

I love the ol two step Shaun dose with Leaning on the rigs haha
After this series,I'm sure this will be Graham's new ride.
I doubt it cos he just bought a mits canopy
hope his new canopy fits, allthough, a new build would be insane to see as well lol
We can only hope.
Be a good show of what it's capable of plus we'll see it in action
Sam Ross brought 😂 you mean given. These guys wouldn’t pay for anything anymore
Check out 22:50, Tim (Mits alloy) says he’s “looking forward to seeing Graham’s new one on the tracks”
Towing is another area I'd like to see it tested. A lot of vehicles have good figures on paper but not so much in the real world.
Yep good point!
Fantastic format guys, this is what the 4wd community want to see!
Wow Shaun reviewing the new Dmax!!!! Where on earth is Graham?

got to agree the old 4WD's go further
Can't beat an old solid axle lux off road but these newer 4x4s are a totally different beast on road and pretty darn good off road with a few mods

The 18 inch rims on the new DMAX aren’t great for off road. A bit surprised nothing was mentioned about them...
But the tires though
Wonder if you can drop to a smaller wheel. Surely the brake calipers can't be that big that you can't get a 16inch wheel
Respect, my friend. Respect! High quality and high professionalism. Respect!
Soooooo tempted by on of these!! Might have trade the Jeep 🤘🤘
Yeah trade in the jeep asap

This and the new Triton would be my top picks for a new ute 👌
On another test Triton came out on top of virtually every make. Lot less coin and ten year warranty
Id rather buy a great wall.
mate, the timing is PERFECT, looking for a new dual cab, some real reviews from you blokes on the current range would be MAD

4WD 24-7 😂🤣 it’s such a shame that you guys are just paid cheerleaders now. The old D-max is so inferior by every objective measure, and whilst the new one is a huge step up, it still well below most other offerings, except in tech which, until this dmax came out, you dissed on other vehicles.
@@littleterror05 more power = more problems thats why the old Luxs were so reliable
man this the perfect review and comparing the vehicle by ripping it what changed in suspension system and love the whole comparison concept.....best i had seen in youtube......👍
Getting kick backs these blokes
I'm very happy with my 2008 RC Colorado (4jj1 engine). I've got good tyres and just put an auto lokka in front (it has rear LSD). I maintain it myself. I bought it in 2012 for $24k. It has no depreciation.
Great review guys! You mentioned bigger brakes, but didn't say anything about wheel size. What's the smallest rim that can go on it?
Probably a 16
I got MY22.75 Dmax Xterrain… after 1,900 kms and 2.5 months. The CV boot is broken and lump sum of grease just came out and sitting on the control arm. 2 Isuzu dealership aren’t keen on checking and helping me out, have to wait a week to be checked.
What Tyers did you have on the D-Max I'm guessing you have changed the Tyers to suit the train you tested this vehicle. Be good to know people. Thank you kindly John dickson.
John Dickson looks like both trucks had the same tyres
Theyre not factory tyres. What are they, and what was the cost to upgrade from standard highway tyres?
Good Year Wranglers.
tdock86 duratrac?
ROCCO CAIA that’s it.
early for the first time. thanks for making the vid you always never let me down ..... keep it up guys
Bout time we seen 'real' reviews 👏🏼 but u didnt test the leather density?! 🤣
big hilux fan but what a BEAST
LEAKED: Graham getting a new 2021 DMax???
I've been waiting for this video from you guys for awhile
Those rims are absolutely putrid!!!
Good IZUZU commercial, Shauno. I would have thought it would Graham's jig but.. I still watched.😆 Didn't know every manufacturer uses the same trans. Rockets the Man!
Did you cheat and put different tyres on the new dmax . As they not the standard one from factory.
MrDonny because that’s not the first mod EVERYONE does....
Um they're comparing the old and new with the same tyres.
They sure did. This was also done for all utes in their off-road test earlier this year.
It’s a shame we don’t make these puppies here in AUS. If we did you can bet there would be better tyre and off-road options that would be available at the dealership. It’s not a huge issue. but 5 tyres costs $1700-$2000. I can think of some uses for that cash. Also, people don’t tend to want second hand ones, so it’s hard to get much for the ones you take off.
Best episode by far😂 Thanks @4wd247
8:15 that's a really tiny front disc ensemble.
Wicked review so much more inline with the info I was after 🤘
