Isuzu Dmax and its cousin Colorado are value for money.

It is more fun with four wheels.

I bought in Powerbooks an Australia 4x4 magazine which I failed to notice was dated 2009.  There are many interesting features there on the UTEs and 4x4,

For instance, I read there that Isuzu dealership there from 38 to 61 in just 6 months.  I tried to figure out why.

I saw on a You Tube how a D max beat a jeep, a Land Rover, and a Hummer on going up a steep incline.

The power output is l63 hp and 360 (some report 400 nM of torque) for a 3 liter 4jjc -tc diesel engine. and its SRP is between $30,000 to $40,000.00  vs.

Land Rover Defender 110 with  2.0 liter TD diesel engine with 90 hp and 360 nm priced at  $48,990;

Land Rover Freelander with  2.2 LTD diesel engine with 118 hp and 400 nM torque priced at  $52,790.

Land Rover Discovery with 2.7 L TDV diesel engine with 140 hp and 445 nM of torque priced at $67,590.

Mitsubishi Triton (Here named Strada) would be priced above $40,000; (/45,000 for the 3 liter variant)

Nissan Patrol cab chassis  for 3 lTD would be priced  at $49,790.

Toyota Hi lux 3.0 liter variant is very competitive at $41,390 but still above D Max Price.  No wonder they are selling a plenty in Australia.

 Its cousin Colorado sells for slightly more at $41,390 with Duramax brand engine (same as that of Dmax?)
