Both have had their fare share of recalls, reliability issues and more recently a class action lawsuit. With global Shortages at play and manufacturers Sharing suppliers and components im not sure we can accept the marketing bs of “reliability” for both Toyota and Isuzu regarding their dual cab models in the future. Sure, the land cruiser utes of old have an excellent reputation for reliability, and so they should, they continue to sell a product developed decades ago at exorbitant prices on the back of “reliability”. By no means am I saying the rangers are exempt, they are far from perfect and have had a range of issues during its life cycle, but with every year these “new” products are drawing level on the “reliability” front imo.

This then raises another question as to the pressure Isuzu are feeling, where at present cars are pulling huge dollars why then would there be a big price cut on a special when most cars are seeing huge wait times. Demand is the most influential price controller definitely not the good hearted car maker. So was that pricing a ploy by Isuzu to limit the gap between the 20+ year old D-max and how far behind it is compared with the New Ford Ranger ?

@@McNuggs- my experience with ford and I own commercial vans and rangers. Pretty of experience with them no issues. Driven and flogged by many employees

Not a fair comparison of utes the Ford is v6 and cost $90000 on road the isuzu is 3 liter turbo $72000 on road why don't you compair the ute to the Ford 2l Bi turbo then we see who the clear winners is

Ford Ranger ❤❤❤❤🔥

It's akin to taking a spoon to a gun fight

Ranger versus Everest

One thing on the dmax is the rims 🤮🤮 so I'm guessing the ranger has more than 15min to change the oil now lol 😆

A ranger wildtrak is $80k a dmax x terrain $65k massive price difference. why not compare the Ranger to a ram

That Isuzu felt a generation behind the previous Ranger. I was able to drive them back to back last year and I was very unimpressed with the Isuzu

What about all the transmission problems the new 10 speed are having why is no one covering them? 😂

we would go for the d max over the ford because ford has problem with engine shutting off while driving

I see that they didn't bother comparing the Hilux, the biggest seller for what reason?

A four cylinder with 3 liter displacement. Quite unusual in today's downsizing trend.

OK I'm in the UK, but I would just like to say I have recently changed from a Ford Ranger dual cab 2.2L auto Limited to a new Isuzu D-Max DL40 double cab and even with 150k miles on the clock I would still prefer the old Ford Ranger, it seems like the Isuzu is built to a price point and therefore all the gizmo's are cheap and lack sophistication, the touch control info screen is completely non intuitive to use, and don't get me started on those stupid and dangerous assisted driving controls - they should be banned!

Yeh but how do they compare to a Lada Niva, that's the real question

If I spent the 13k difference i could make the dmax way better then the ford 😂

Why compare a V6 to a 4 cyl?

Truth is..for the interior,ranger looks amazing because of thay huge screen..but overall,dmax dashboard design is so much better looking

It (dmax) doesn't look as good in person. The ranger dash and the screen resolution are waay better. if you prefer buttons go dmax tho

Dmax all day baby

10k more for the Ranger just doesn't cut it

How much is ford paying you
