Getting my DMAX delivered in a weeks time- fair to say I did extensive research regarding that truck online. So far this is the most informative set of reviews Ive encountered. Feels like there is TON of experience to back hosts opinions (especially this episode:) , all presented in a friendly, humorous fashion. Well done&thank you !
I really appreciate your test drives,you are really testing a car, not only cruising like a grandma. So much appreciation for this channel and for this great man / race driver / positive man.
I am planning to buy this this year. Already had a reservation. I have no experience driving a car/pickup but surely will take driving lesson. Watching uncle's driving videos surely inspires me that I can learn driving and parking this truck with a smile like uncle.
@@YSKhongDriving that is great! I have my small cc motorcycle though.. and it will be night and day difference when I owned this someday. And one thing for sure.. I will always enjoy driving and hearing the engine noise 😊😊
Uncle Khong, the traction control button need to press hold above 6 seconds to fully turn off, when u see TCS indicator & ESC indicator both light up, & the car is ready for a drift 😁
Uncle, please try to do a video to compare new hilux, this dmax, ranger, navara and triton if there's any chance... To give some tips for your fans see which is good at what point or suit which type of users, I'm sure that would be great. Haha
Hmm....but looks like both Navara NP300 new facelift and this Dmax speed are at the same speed rate. But both trucks looks good and fast though but it’s all depends on people choices.
I have 2016ranger xlt, 2017 Triton vgt, 2018 dmax and I would say dmax is the best. Dmax full tank easily 800 km. Major service rm 850 and minor rm 290. Among this 3, the ranger sucks. Triton is a robust work horse but maintainance wise slightly higher and ranger is the most expensive one among this 3.
Im a fan and I always like your videos like this. But I have one suggestion. Please put a camera also towards the intrument cluster so that we will know what speed and gearing you are in. Its also a learning for us on how you drive different cars. Thank you very much.
Hahaha, thanks for your support. Good suggestion, but we have too many keyboard moralists around. Cannot even take racing line with them ever ready to shoot.
No we dont- any idea why? Uneven front tyre wear can be due to many causes, usually due to mis-alignment, wrong camber, wrong toe, and usually solvable. If you can send me some pictures of the tyres, stating which wheel they're from, and kilometers they have been on the vehicle, I could probably tell you the most probable cause. I am pretty sure it is not an inherent trait of all Isuzu D'Max.
Bos Ys Khong.. where else is the power up the hill between these four types... Hilux rogue, dmax x terain, nissan navara pro x 40, mitsubishi triton athlete..
Dont know its just me or not but I reckon that you reach the top of Genting quicker compared to the test in the navara pro4x last time; even though this video is longer ;)
Hmm....but Navara new facelift pro4x could be also as fast as Dmax and looks like the speed rate for both trucks are at the same level. Cause Navara uses 7 speed auto while Dmax using 6 speed auto and only difference is the car of the kerb weight. But both trucks are good choices and fast but it’s all depends on people choices.
ua-cam.com/video/Dv9Oln3p7Gs/v-deo.html They did a drag race and the BT50 which is the D-Max’s mechanical twin was actually faster than the 200+hp Hilux and Ranger which was surprising. The Navara however, lagged behind. You can also find the 0-100-0 kmh test for those trucks in that channel. In terms of ride and handling, the Navara will be better.
@@YSKhongDriving already watch it 2 times both video... From the video.. . What i hear is. The nissan navara is much quieter and have good sound insulation. Is that right?
Sometimes it is the sound recording, so I cannot be too sure. You might be right, but we need a decibel meter measurement to be really sure. Most pf the trucks are quieter now, but I dont see noise suppression or sound deadening as high priority in trucks, hahaha.
Uncle, just wondering whethee you could repeat this drive but this time using auto and with all the Adas turned on? This would be how a "typical" person like me would drive. Regards.
There would be nothing different except that speed would be slower, and if you cross the line you get a warning beep if you don't signal. The truck would still drive the same. Should you be about to crash into the back of another vehicles the AEB would brake for you.
@@John7740477 Which pick up truck is not good? What makes you think Hilux and Triton are not good? You should tried. Hilux is good and reliable pick up truck, the same goes for Isuzu that also uses same technology from Toyota but Toyota acquires only 4% shares of Isuzu. Even gearbox for Dmax are basically same as Hilux. Both Hilux and Dmax are using 6AT and Dmax is also reliable pick up truck. Besides, don’t see any problems for Triton so far. Triton is also one of the reliable pick up truck, despite not same technology from Isuzu and Toyota. And it is more reliable than Ford Ranger. Ranger gearbox kaput and people will get sakit kepala. Maintenance cost for Ford Ranger is expensive than other pick up trucks.
@@mehmeh2971 yeah! Actually it's depend on the user. What is the main purpose. If you looking for rough use, I agree with hilux. For lite but lots of load, it's triton. But for fuel safe daily use and luxury like car.....you'll choose DMax X-terrain.....😊👌
Tough question. The Navara probably has a better ride because of the rear coils. The DMax is a bit bigger, I think. And DMax interior is a shade better. I have not owned either, so I qould probably toss a coin to decide.
Happy the DMAX is less agriculture than before. This route looks easier than the route you designed for us during the Ford Ranger drive to Avillion Port Dickson xD
hi good morning uncle.. currently i am in the middle of choice hilux rogue or Dmax xterrian .. which one do you advice. i dont carry super heavy stuff mostly only few board and some equipment less than 500kg.. and going to working site and long distance family trip too. dont think i going extreme offroad. i am concern about comfortable, durability, and cost of maintenance and parts.. previously own ranger 3.2 manual. the parts n services price blow me away lol
Hilux is better in terms of safety, reliability, features, power and safety. But I’m not saying that Dmax 3.0 not good. Dmax is also quite good. Just that, Dmax doesn’t come with 360 degree camera, front dashcam and engine power is a bit slow than Hilux Rogue 2.8. But at least, Dmax looks better and improves than previous Dmax. And overall, both Hilux and Dmax are good choices.

which version did u get?
@@jkpisces extended cab, utility trim. Extremely happy with the purchase
@@mazatlan79P 1.9 or 3.0?
@@jkpisces 1.9 is the only engine available in Europe. Cant say I feel truck underpowered, but given choice Id go for 3.0 obviously.

This is the real way to drive an isuzu dmax... great handling great torque. The turbo kick in very well

Yes, having a truck is a different experience from owning a car. I have both a truck and car, so I enjoy my life a bit more.

finally D MAx Genting Run....thumbs' up!
Every vehicle seem amazingly perform when uncle behind the wheels..
Thank you for another Genting run! Superb skill!

I just like the sound of the Dmax. 🤩🤩

Yea, hope to see a comparison for New D'max & Triton Athlete
Seems like uncle was having lots more fun driving this Dmax than the new NP300, lots more celebratory woohoo and laughter. Well done uncle
Hmm....but looks like both Navara NP300 new facelift and this Dmax speed are at the same speed rate. But both trucks looks good and fast though but it’s all depends on people choices.
This Isuzu D Max handle’s really good!
This uncle is very amazing. Love how Uncle driving.
Pls drive the 4x2 1.9cc Dmax up Genting. Will be interesting to see how it perform under YS driving skill.
Let us see the 1.9 compared to 3.0 as is the power enough ?
Should do a full comparison of all the top spec pickup trucks in this genting test drive
Superb driving Uncle, Take a Line and Take the Apex, real rally driving with shifting 3rd and 4th straight line.
Thank you so much this was the best review I have seen on the D-Max excellent 👌👌👌
Uncle YS , between Hilux Rogue 2.8 and this Isuzu 3.0 X terrain, which one have better NVH?
I think they are quite close. This one is a lot quieter than its predecessor, for sure.
This car handles well in the sharp left corner! This is cool.
I only trust uncle's review. Tq uncle
Wow!!! Very skillfully driver with the smiling face n always say thank you for the other driver... Very enjoyable n fun 🤩 👍👍👍
The best dmax ever. Thumbs up isuzu!
Damn been waiting for this video!
I respect the skill at 19:45 Uncle Khong.
I don't get it, he just turned a corner?
Tq uncle 👍👍 I have been waiting for this video.. enjoy isuzu..
I always go for uncle for performance review... Non can beat uncle behind the wheel.. that racing line though... Thumbs up!!!
Thank you i always wait this video love isuzu dmax
Very cool!! Cheers from Brazil!!
Damn this old man driving skills doe wow
Nice video. Uncle what can you say this dmax compared to the navara? Tnx
Engine sound can be heard significantly in the cabin
Thanks for this timely review uncle. Am contemplating to trade-in my D-Max Safari to this one.
I have 2016ranger xlt, 2017 Triton vgt, 2018 dmax and I would say dmax is the best. Dmax full tank easily 800 km. Major service rm 850 and minor rm 290. Among this 3, the ranger sucks. Triton is a robust work horse but maintainance wise slightly higher and ranger is the most expensive one among this 3.
As you can see, each ine has its strong points. Obviously fuel consumption is your highest priority, which is why you rated the Dmax the highest.
Yes, finally...
I love the diesel rumble ❤

Hahaha, thanks for your support. Good suggestion, but we have too many keyboard moralists around. Cannot even take racing line with them ever ready to shoot.
Hahaha. Bad boys what you gonna do when they came for you. #proof.
Uncle can u do for new dmax in 1.9 engine, as that model will be the best selling instead of this 3.0
Yesss.. agree..
Hardly find the review of 1.9 dmax premium auto
Agree. Only one engine available in Europe in my side
Uncle test drive 1.9L as well and put a split dashboard cam as well,want to see the speedo meter of each car.Thanks.
No speedo views. Too many keyboard evangelists.
Nice drive!! Its fun watchin u drive😁☺️😚
Thank you 🤗
@@YSKhongDriving sir can u make a comparison between triton vs dmax vs pro4.. thank you.. love your videos ❤️
1.9 Best value buy , simple d best simple sub urban ute, best mud performance -hilux , 3.0 ideal for full load
Thanks uncle👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Do you hsve the issue of uneven front tyre wear, like the dmax we have in Australia?
No we dont- any idea why? Uneven front tyre wear can be due to many causes, usually due to mis-alignment, wrong camber, wrong toe, and usually solvable. If you can send me some pictures of the tyres, stating which wheel they're from, and kilometers they have been on the vehicle, I could probably tell you the most probable cause.
I am pretty sure it is not an inherent trait of all Isuzu D'Max.
@@YSKhongDriving the say it will happen in the 15,000km. Thanks for your kindness to answer my question. Much appreciated.
I like it, we need a fancy pickup to carry our three Durian home without stinking up the car👍🏻
Yes, definitely.
Uncle，Nissan navara & isuzu dmax，which one comfortable，i first time think buy truck，Don't know how to choose
PM me directly.
Hi uncle, test drive triton athlete please
15.57 that was the tail comming up. Not bad. 😂 kalau aku tu cuak dah
Bos Ys Khong..
where else is the power up the hill between these four types... Hilux rogue, dmax x terain, nissan navara pro x 40, mitsubishi triton athlete..
All are around the same power. All are trucks, so will be about the same. Get a car - it's faster.
Hi uncle….bolehkah tolong review Dmax 1.9 standard dan test naik genting 😄👍🏻
Uncle Khong how is the ride comforf compared to other pickup trucks in the market ?
This new D'Max has softer suspension compared to the older one, but only slightly. Still, it is a bit more comfortable.
Dont know its just me or not but I reckon that you reach the top of Genting quicker compared to the test in the navara pro4x last time; even though this video is longer ;)

Cause Navara uses 7 speed auto while Dmax using 6 speed auto and only difference is the car of the kerb weight. But both trucks are good choices and fast but it’s all depends on people choices.
We never timed it, and traffic conditions are different for each of the drives.

Hi, which do you think better to buy ? Triton or this for Dailly drive ? 90% city drive, same price ? Thank 2
For daily drive anything will ne fine

Great review ..
hope can see u test drive Triton
Soon I hope.

They are pick-up trucks. Which one is better depends on your needs.
just in time! my friends been talking about it and test drove it this morning....
Hi Uncle, how does this D Max compares to the Ford Ranger Raptor?
The Raptor is a different animal. That one costs over RM200k.
Every car drives by uncle khong will become a Ferrari.
Dmax vs Navara, what's your pick YS?
Tough question. The Navara probably has a better ride because of the rear coils. The DMax is a bit bigger, I think. And DMax interior is a shade better.
I have not owned either, so I qould probably toss a coin to decide.
I guess being a seasoned rally driver from the days without electronic driver's aid, catching the tail stepping out is a breeze for you.
It has to be instinctive, if you want to be a good driver - you need to anticipate the step out and counter instinctively.
Happy the DMAX is less agriculture than before. This route looks easier than the route you designed for us during the Ford Ranger drive to Avillion Port Dickson xD
Hahaha, that was decades ago.
YS. This was great!!! When are you testing the new Navara?
I believe the video is already up.
@@YSKhongDriving Hello, which one do you think is better in cornering? since you've driven both.
The first few scene din color grade ah?
Uncle, xterrain vs hilux which one better in terms of power and comfort? help me chose which one to buy..
Holux is known for toughness and reliability the XTerrain has a softer ride and a few extra features
@@YSKhongDriving here in sabah so many high road like genting, which one you think suit me?
@@YSKhongDriving is dmax reliable?
10:33 Sir, think taking more kerbs on the apex can gain more hundreds of a second per run🤩
Thank you, will try to get closer, but some of the kerbs are not tyre-friendly.
Hi uncle, any plans on reviewing the 1.9 version?
Not at the moment, because of mco.
In term of pick up power, navara or this one better?
We did not compare times, so not too sure, but power figures are very close.
Can you test dmax1.9 tq
We have tested the 3.0. Let's see if we can get one. Should be a little slower.
Waiting of your next video tq
Uncle, have u tried triton athlete? Can’t wait to see your review sifu
Stay tuned.
Sir how's the body roll of this pickup??
It is normal
SIR WHICH IS THE MOST BODY ROLL DMAX OR NAVARRA?@@YSKhongDriving
Is 450 torque sufficient or weak?
It is sufficient
Between D Max and Navara,which one more quiet?I thk is Navara?
I think Navara is quieter, but very close. The new DMax has gone a lot quieter from the old one
Thanks.Navara then for me.Was actually looking at Innova but because is 2.0 petrol and no 2.4 diesel like Indon,really underpowered.
Uncle bila nak buat test drive City RS?
Kita masih tunggu keteta dari Honda, belum dapat lagi. Tunggu sampai bosan dah, hahaha
Saya dah beli da. 1 bulan edy..
Uncle why you never driven a Triton 2.4 mivec? 😢
Because I never got one from the company.
Unker YS, during your test drive going up hill Genting, what mode do U using from your 4wd transmission.. 2H or 4H ?
2H is faster.
@@YSKhongDriving
I was thought unker YS all the way are using 4H going up hill.. surprisingly 2H did the Job.. well done 👍 unker YS
Passenger at the back can sit comfortable?
Yes.
Which is stronger, Hilux 2800 or Dmax 3000?
Compare the max torque numbers.
Which do you prefer, Hilux or D-Max?
Steady uncle
Which one good handling toyota hilux or Isuzu dmax?
Both are pick up trucks.
Can you give advice, uncle.
Nice one!
Uncle, i like Isuzu Dmax. My isuzu 3.0 is powerfull. well done uncle ha ha
Genting no roadblock?
Got. Need permit to go through.
navara or this?
Tough decision, both are very close. This is very well appointed, while Navara is more comfortable, with coil sorings at the rear.
Good Review Sir.
Want to ask , in terms of comfort ,ride handling and power? Which one is better? Dmax or Navara? 🤩
Very close.
