Thanks for the review. I have been driving Twin Cabs for 30 + years - yep before the yuppies and "Normal" people found out what a great car it is in versatility ....... My "Holden" Isuzu is 19 Years old (under the Holden badge)- 300,000 klm on the clock and now due for the new version. Signing off tomorrow on the new car. Going for the 4WD as I am heading into semi retirement and talking to my mates telling me to get the 4WD model to open up the options for future travel........ looking forward to stepping into the world of a new car ....

@@wax333 Doesn't fix the problem. You still get excessive tyre ware with the current wheel alignment geometry. The problem is the steering knuckle. Its a poor design and Isuzu know it. Don't see why they won't fix the problem instead of just putting a bandaid on it.

@ravenouself4181 2 ай бұрын

@@mattblomberg2709 probably because it's a facelift and the new model will be out soon. from isuzu's perspective, it wouldn't make economic sense to completely redesign the front suspension. if you are going to change the knuckle, everything leading up to it needs to be changed as well. through, if i were in charge of isuzu - i would have it done.

Spot on with the "cooled" seats... and extra lumbar and adjustment. The remote start does help a lot in summer... No other ute has that on the key fob apart from my 10 year old VF I'm trading in !

As long as manufacturers are not passing shared development savings on to the customer, I am not interested in any of these "collaborations". If VW is anything to go by, then they are saving up to US$1bn PER YEAR by partnering with Ford on the new Amarok, yet we as customers are not seeing that saving, which feels a bit like a ripoff. I don't like to be ripped off...
