That is why I looked at the 2016 and below MUX.. But have to agree.. Bloody love the MUX even more after hearing the issues my mate has had with his 2017 Colorado. Another great Vid Nick and cherish the time with the young ones as they grow to bloody quick..

Again, really great work Nick. I have learnt alot from this. More so about the warranty jobs you had done. I now know what I can look at in my next service. Again thanks alot.

Great video…just on the verge of getting a MUX. First thing I noticed is how clean it is….everywhere.

thanks a lot mate! yes i have watched your video before fitting to my isuzu dmax vcross here in india. you are doing fabulous job keep making such videos buddy cheers

Have a 2014 dmax had it since new I've done 220,000kms All I've had to replace are the belts. Cv joint Master and slave cylinder in clutch. Front wheel bearings and windcreen spray pump. Awesome vehicle

Great video Nick. like any car its how you use it that will determine the life you get from it. I also have the 2018 MUX LS-T model and love it. since owning it for a year now I have made some upgrades, snorkel, bigger falken AT3 tyres, 2 inch lift, roof racks and about to put on southern cross rock sliders. Lucky enough have had no issue with the vehicle put probably dont 4WD as often as you do. When I do go out it does take a beating though, so good to know what to look out for after watching your video. All in All a great vehicle.

nick thank you. I have used your guide for a heap of stuff cheers

I have the sister model of this being the Holden Colorado however watching your vids I have been able to do a few alterations to my vehicle including the adding of the safari snorkel. As always that’s for the vids

Great rundown mate. My MUX 2018 has had one turbo replacement.... Fingers crossed no more ! 10lt per hundred 😲..... Mate I'd struggle to get that but I've got 4 bike racks & awning on the roof I suppose. I'm about to fit the Munji diff drop & relocate. Cheers for the great videos

Good review video Nick 👍 I have a Pajero Sport, and I also had to replace the seat base on drivers side like you. Sounds like it can happen with any model 4x4. Besides that I've had no other issues. I have heard also that other Pajero Sport owners (not me) have had the same issue like you when it comes to leaking fuel tank Cap. So it seems it happens with other manufacturers to.

Ive got the 15.5 and never had a problem (just did 100K) but I suspect ill need a carbon clean soon. If you made an in depth carbon cleaning video for the MUX or DMAX 4JJ1 (intake manifold / EGR ect) that would get some serious views, no one has done a decent one yet.

Great video Nick! Have all the replacement turbos been the "green dot" turbos as these are supposed to be the upgraded replacement unit? I had mine replaced on my 2018 LSU about 6000 kms ago. Also, although you've had your suspension upgraded, how is the fully loaded weight with missus, 2 kids, associated gear, and additional weight of bullbar, winch, bigger wheels & tyres, rock sliders, drawers compared to factory GVM of 2,750 kg?

I just miss the Isuzu Rodeo and Trooper! They may have incredible reliability now but I just love the trooper more than the 4Runner or Pathfinder

Another great video Nick, cheers! I have the 2018 D-Max and have had a great run for the 60,000k so far. Fitted an alloy bar for the weight saving on stock suspension. Running Wildpeak AT3 265/65/17 on the stock alloy rims and they work a treat. We do more dirt road than hard offroad work, but the package is great.

Ive seen a few radiator supports and chassis crack from heavy bullbars. Crazy.

Hey mate, did you use a few pin bolts drilled through on the bull bar and mounting bracket. Due to the elongated mounting holes, i just feel if you hit something the bar will move along way on the elongated holes, perhaps it would stop the bar moving back into the body if you hit stuff.

Hi John from SA. I hope you realise china is light years ahead of Australia, for your concern about the cheaper parts is because the manufacturer decided to cut cost or just sourcing a alternative. You can't blame everything on china for things that don't work out. I've been working in Australian manufacturing for almost 20 years, and China continues to outperform us both in quality and in output, and they are alot cheaper. Of course of you decide to source a $1000 part with a $200 then really you're no longer comparing apples with apples, but this a companies choice, not because it came out of China. Thank you.

@@LowRangeNick Not true, one should not expect any issues for the first 3 years ? Prior to my MU-X I had a new Mitsubishi Outlander with 140,000 trouble free kilometres, stock standard. Then a Great Wall X-240 stock standard that did 165,000 kilometres on mostly outback roads with no real problems. Then a new Mistsubishi Challenger stock standard for 135,000 kilometres towing an 18ft caravan, with zero issues over 5 yrs,. I would not expect any problems whatsoever with my 2020 MU-X for at least 5 years, however, I'm nervous now ?
