    After eight years of plying the same hardware, Isuzu Ute Australia finally has some fresh metal to show off: 2021 marks an all-new Isuzu D-Max ute. We take a look at the interior, price of the range, on-road dynamics and take it off-road with a water crossing for the ultimate test.

    Adding to it's aggressive look, are the headlights. The DRLS in the headlights, give the fascia of a similar mean look, that reminds those of us who remember the "BAD BOY" decals we would stick on our rear windshields in the late 80's to mid 90's. Along with it's double fanged grill, it makes for one tough looking truck. In fact, that BAD BOY decal could be revived as a fitting body decal graphic for the top spec model. It has my vote...

    • @Jez3134
      @Jez3134 Před 3 lety

      If he had just used a little bit of brake pedal to stop the front spinning he would have been out of there in the next 5 seconds without the diff lock. I'm guessing he wanted to emphasise "oh no.. I'm stuck" That' all the other systems do, sends more brakes to that corner to send power the opposite side.

  • @MiggyMndza

    Sorry to disappoint Sam but the guys at 4WD 24/7 have said it, the Strada(Triton) is the better all-round off-roader among the bunch. Time to accept that the Hilux is quite overrated already when it comes to off-road capability and overshadows how the Mitsubishi Strada can already outshine the Hilux.
