Why don’t these reviews ever mention reliability? It’s probably the most important aspect when purchasing a car. The Ranger has all the bells and whistles but the amount of people that I know that have had issues with them should be noted by the reviewers. If I had to choose between having heated seats or a Ute that has a history of reliability I know which way I’d be leaning.
You cannot gauge reliability on a ute that was released a month ago. There would be far too many variables, but they could mention larger more solid issues such as the class action against Toyota.
It's funny how you can always guess the Dmax will get ridiculed no matter what. Isuzu will be far more reliable than Hilux or Ranger, given Ford gearbox, paint and fit problems and Toyota's DPF issues. The new Dmax is at Mazda standard fitout internally, and that is far more car like than the other two. It also has better safety, but of course like any motoring journalist on yt; you flog off about the vehicle's that will bring the most views. If Toyota or Ranger were the first to bring in the extra safety tech, you'd be singing their praises from the rooftops, rather than waxing lyrical about the melodious noises eminating from within. You clearly go in to this video with confirmation bias, so it is hard to take your opinion seriously.
In the UK we don’t get the 3.0 in the Dmax, but the 1.9 and previous 2.5 have had way worse DPF problems than Toyota, caused by serious oil dilution when regen occurs. New Hiluxes have a DPF burn button which makes the issue far less significant.
From Namibian perspective, the ranger in highly unreliable with really serious issues needing whole engine swops. Loadbin is prone to cracking, gearbox and diff not of african quality, they break. The body of a ranger is just too soft, suites the urban lifestyle (its an urban bakkie that can do some work). Hilux is great its only major issue in Africa ( Namibia atleast) is its stability. Most unstable car on gravel. Service interval is a joke. Otherwise reliable and good workhorse ( it can work and do urban things but always feels like it wants to kill you). Isuzu is my choice. It doesnt do anything better than the others, but it does a lot of things really well. Interior not the best, but ok. Great on gravel, great with a load, great tow car and really very basic. Its a work car that can do urban lifestyle.
To get things in perspective the difference in ride, handling, comfort and all those things is insignificant as they are all extremely luxurious compared to an old series Land Rover which is also a luxury compared to walking with a back pack. All that matters to me is reliability as most manufacturers are not good at honouring expensive warranty claims, both Ford and Toyota have shamed them selves in this regard, I don’t know if ISUZU have as well or not but at least ISUZU seems to make the most reliable utes and that is the deciding factor for me. Another advantage of ISUZU is that the service departments should be more expert as they only have one drive train to know about, both DMAX and MUX are the same. The other brands have a whole range of different vehicles that they have to learn about and it’s a lot to know. Therefore if there is a problem with an ISUZU you should have a better chance of getting it fixed first time unlike what happens at Ford.
Since 2011 I have a Dmax to work with including snow pushing, oil change and and once glow plugs. I'm pretty sure that in 2J. a new Dmax will come, not because I have to, but I want
Here in Europe the D-Max comes with a 1.9L turbo engine, and the Ranger with a 2.0L turbo engine...............for the similiar price, alot of people skip to the Hilux with a 2.4L turbo engine. No replacement for displacement.
hmm, the best selling pick-up truck in europe is the Ranger and it sold twice as often as the HiLux, europe´s second best selling truck in 2019. Even here in Germany, the home country of the Amarok, the VW is outselled by the Ranger.
Cameron Maher..... yes don’t take that the wrong way.....simply a reference to the interior which in my opinion is starting to get a bit tired. Can’t dispute the capability and tough exterior look of the ranger. I think the Raptor is the coolest looking Ute on the market. Love the rivalry.....cheers
RIP for the Nissan Navara, no any exterior facelift since it released in 2015......!!!! The triton, hilux already are facelifted... Ranger, Dmax prev gen, Colorado, Bt50, all of them got 2 facelift!
Can you pl comment on how quick the new hilux feels compared to the outgoing model given that the only real change to hilux is a power boost (27hp and 50Nm torque)..cosmetic changes r just too minor and dont make it look much different from the older model..
ford rangers are not as reliable , had so many issues with them and have a d max and goes and goes and im not bias but i am a isuzu tech and been working with them for 3 years and they have very few issues so thats why i brought one
and i never had any issues with my 3.2 ranger transmission is very good and i always change my engine oil every 10k nothing happened pretty nuch very much still very comfortable and i use it everyday fir towing and carrying loads tons of rice. no issues.
@@Kyxmyx i work with both at a dealership, ford has a big name and very popular so a lot more sales ,the recalls and failures are a lot more common , just saying it how i see it
Hmm we owned both the L200 and the Ranger, I can't be bias when I say the Ranger is a completely different animal when it comes to refinement and driving dynamics, the suspension is another level. Ive not driven the new Hilux and Dmax though..
#carsaleschannel Nice, if brief review. The question not addressed - “which car would you choose for best value for money?”. Plenty more to spend on each vehicle once you add canopy, snorkel, tyres, tow bar, bar work, chassis protection, 2” lift, diff breathers, maybe engine tune etc
i just bought an X-Terrain i was in the air with that and the hilux. but with the hilux im just feeling like im paying a premium just to have a badge that says toyota. it mind boggles me that the hilux sr5 is 70g to have 4x4 and leather thats optional and dont even get blind spot monotoring or a tub liner and alot of other things.
@@TheScrawley1 Nice!! i ended up going silver and added the towball on which i wish came with the car standard but with the price it is, its pretty bloody good and a great update from the previous model that i like but was way dated.
@@Warnut mate great choice, just placed my order for the x terrain last week. I was also tossing up between the toyota but as you mentioned, it felt as if I was paying more for less. The toyota lacks the safety features and tech of the isuzu and is almost 10k more with the special driveway price on offer for the x terrain. What color did you end up choosing mate? Cheers!
Not much between them, but if I have to choose which company to deal with for any potential problems, it will be the Hilux. Ford dealers are generally pricks.
Shame the business environment/rules and industrial base in India is no good compared to Thailand- I reckon time for them to start production there because that would mean more profit considering 1 Indian Rupee is worth $53 AUD. This means the Ute makers could spent $9000 max for a ute and sell it in Australia for $65000 - why not Aussies are happy to let the country taken over by imports and fork out big bucks without any moans/groans. That's why I have switched side and want these big companies make even more profit so their wives and partners can afford that private island somewhere idyllic.

Your right guys. The Ranger is definitely still the best all rounder.
Just ordered D-Max x trail

Thomas Middeke yes my old 1997 2.6L petrol rodeo lasted too long, I had to wait too many years before I could justify replacing it.
They're all much the same really, just depends on your individual brand preference!
I've been saying ot for years. Hard to buy a shit ute these days from the top brands
Exactly mate!
why do always compare the sr5 with the wild track when in fact it is far closer to the xt?
Is this the mineral white or marble pearl dmax?
You are gonna have to try harder than knocking the Hilux for the driver side missing the vanity mirror. Really...
Don't even know why I'm watchin.. don't have the coin for any of em haha
For the moment you mean, I'm sure!

@@citaron Rangers are cheaper than the Hilux in Europe. Lots of campaigns from Ford. Ranger rides nicer over potholes and speed bumps.
@@bubuleh71 And rangers don't tend to flip over in the moose test 😂
@@citaron yup also true. I pick a Ranger as the best anyday.
Hilux is just too expensive......new D-Max looks amazing......Ford getting a little tired. Bang for buck I would go the D-Max
They Literally say despite the Rangers' age it is still the best, so it isn't tired, it's wide awake.

ISUZU D-MAX🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆
Just saw on Ford website that new Ranger has Auto Engine Off, when braking to a stop.
That IS a deal breaker for me, WTF Ford?
It’s easy to deactivate 👍
@@carsales can it be turned off permanently, or do you have to turn it off every time you restart?
Only in the 2 litre
If you know a bloke with the right laptop you can do anything to a modern day engine
carsales.com.au do you need to deactivate it each time? Or does it stay off till you turn it back on?
RIP for the Nissan Navara, no any exterior facelift since it released in 2015......!!!!
The triton, hilux already are facelifted...
Ranger, Dmax prev gen, Colorado, Bt50, all of them got 2 facelift!
Go go Ranger
The name ranger shakes my heart immediately when i hear it
Go see a Doctor. Doesn't sound good at all.
Always been a Ford guy

I gotta get a job first then I get a bus.😂🤣

i litrally felt the same when i started to watch this from the start, could tell ford was going to win from how he talked about it.
Diddums need a hug?

Clearly never owned a ford Ranger
Who wants to risk going to a remote area in a ranger
Isuzu dmax a mejor pickup.👍
(FC.ISUZU)
How good do the hub caps look on the dmax 🤣🤣
Really?
I love Dmax
Dmax everyday.

mu-x needs a face lift and it will be amazing
Hilux or go home.. 💪💪❤️

Then you are a noob lol

Wow, where do you get your currency conversion from? I checked, one Indian Rupee was less than 20c AUD. I’m glad I didn’t meet you while overseas.
@@rsoul7282 haha 53 dollars 😂😂
1 indian rupee = 19 australian cents
Sparky Malarky I hear he works for western union in India 👍
$9000? Sounds expensive. When Nigeria kick into production that same ute will be max $30.50 drive away. Watch this space.
1. Toyota 2.Isuzu 3. euh.....
Hilux is the best
2021 already but D max still low tech
Too much Ford's bullshit
