    You forgot to mention the most important thing. The long walk home when the ranger keeps breaking down.

    These 2 will still be going when the Ranger is in the Workshop. 🎉🎉 This was a comparison you should have not mentioned the Ranger. Why not do an article on how many Rangers have issues. Have owned both of these 2 and Hilux everday, as you get to drive it everyday

      It’s a no-brainer really - I’m driving a 2010 Hilux now after upgrading from my 2002 model which was always reliable and brilliant off-road but wanted to go with the auto diesel - Isuzu is OK but I’d rather go with the Triton if budget constraints dictated my choice for sheer off-road ability - wouldn’t touch a unreliable Ford that only a bogun could love with a barge pole especially with overheating transmissions, failing of the fully digital instrument panel and coming to a full stop from 80km which is a worry just check out A Current Affair - I’ll choose Toyota every time to get there and back with confidence.

    Ford 2.0 eco blue engine: wet belt issues with shredding or breaking and fuel injector faults. V6 engine derived from old Land Rover unit renowned for crankshafts snapping. At least the owners will be able to sit in comfort in the ‘well appointed cabin’ while waiting for the tow truck and checking their current bank balance before repairs.

    the reason Toyota doesn’t have such up to date tech is because of reliability. As we know, the more tech, the more it breaks down.

    Own a July > dmax 2020. 100,000kms. Not one issue bar a leaky diff they were skeptical about on the 75000km service so fixed under warranty (they may just have wanted to look good). Beautiful to drive on the road as it is my work car. 115km/h sitting at 1750rpm. It really is a nice ute.

    The Hilux should be sold with a disclaimer in South Africa which should say "Buy at Your Own Risk" because there's a 90% chance of you losing it.

    @mbingham10 Рік тому +10

    Well, farmers in the UK always had the old defenders, now the majority seem to have D Max’s I think that says it all really, the Ford engines let them down, I would get the Ford if its reliability was better, most Rangers or indeed 4x4’s in the UK never go off road, my money goes with the Isuzu for reliability and peace of mind.

    I have the new Hilux as a work car and the previous dmax as my daily.
    The fuel economy is absolutely terrible compared to the Isuzu! I can't speak for the current shape but I'd imagine it would be way better than the hilux in real life. I'm talking like a 300klm difference

  • @markthomas8766
    @markthomas8766 7 місяців тому +2

    That's a pretty fair assessment. One aspect to consider that is missing is the long-term reliability of the motor. In this Isuzu wins. Toyota are having some real issues at the moment. they had to go back to their old 2.8 engine because the 3.0 was crap, (don't mention Tacoma). Despite toyotas problem here, Ford rates even worse!

    • @markthomas8766

    I'd have difficulties choosing between the two as they are the two options that I'd choose from. Both are strong and reliable.both the Amarok and Ranger are beautiful in the interior and according to the journalist they are also comfortable with a plush ride and are strong but now since they are both the same thing that's not enough only due to reliability.

    • @paulmcintosh5589
      @paulmcintosh5589 Рік тому +2

      The Isuzu has a 2020 ancap test the Hilux has been rushed through the 2019 test carsales is sponsored by toyota so that won’t get a mention

    • @bjgonzalespovs8164
      @bjgonzalespovs8164 Рік тому

      Go for Dmax, coz they had a strong transmission and engine uses Timing gear. Hilux is Timing chain but hikux is also a good choice. But for me, i'll go for Dmax.

    • @Sabumnim666
      @Sabumnim666 Рік тому +1

      When will people stop believing all the BS about reliability that both Toyota and Isuzu keep rabbiting on about. The Hilux is certainly nothing like it was for reliability prior to 2000 they are no better than Isuzu Ford or Mitsubishi. Now for the reliability that Isuzu would have you believe most people have the notion that these are made in the same as the Isuzu trucks in the same factory well they are from different factories and there are many failures on the D max there is even a class action for the front of the engine bay cracking and needing extensive work. The facts are easy to find there are government records on these utes and the reliability of all the top ones are very similar.

    Unfortunately , the Ranger has more "issues" & ford won't match the other two when it comes to honouring a quick - hassle fee warranty claim. Toyota wins on Oz wide service & spares availability for travellers.
