Great design for a powerful car, and definitely great presentation of the video! I love everything about Isuzu DMax and how Richard presents it.

When I first saw this version of the d'max on some thai auto youtubers back in 2022 at first glance, I knew it looks way better than the first iteration since this gen came out.

The D-Max top of the line is very expensive in Australia 😱 When I converted in our local money, it means you're paying it almost 10k AUD more than us 😅

Test drive a Mazda BT-50 XTR 4x2. I have one and I find it more comfortable than the X-Terrain that I test drove. Basically same car with some interior changes and the fabric seats in XTR are so much better than leather in hot weather.
