As stated in another thread, the two Isuzus we’ve had/got have been/are great. D max was 6 spd manual and towed our caravan 5500 kms thru South Island returning mid 10 litres/100 km. The current Mu-x, different shell but same running gear and 6 spd auto returning low nines/100 km non towing. Biggest hassle is the volume of oil they hold; each change drinks nearly 8 litres of fully synthetic. $$$! My cousins business services it as still under wty and he recommended Isuzu over Mitzi. I took both for a test drive before buying. Mitzi felt light; Isuzu more reassuring, esp on tight corners.
