Isuzu D-MAX reliability

Built with all the values that have made Isuzu famous.

D-MAX is robust, reliable, dependable—but also refined. It has the spirit of a truck, wrapped in the skin of a ute.

SUPERIOR ENGINEERING

People rely on you, and you can rely on your D-MAX. The D-MAX is full of engineering details that only a truck manufacturer would think of, but each one makes this ute truck tough. Here are some that are easy to see when you pop the bonnet.

Steel Timing Chain
Ladder Chassis
Split Camshafts Heavy-duty Isuzu Engine

Fancy replacing your timing belt? Probably not – so the D-MAX doesn’t have one. Instead it uses a heavy duty steel timing chain to last the life of the engine.

The ladder chassis has been specifically designed for the D-MAX. Its heavy duty design ensures long term durability, and improves stability whether loaded or towing.

This unique detail eliminates backlash on engine deceleration, reducing engine wear.

Isuzu’s diesel engines are built to withstand higher temperatures and pressures than other engines, so the D-MAX 3.0L turbo diesel is tough by nature, hard-wearing and provides the legendary Isuzu reliability that you have come to expect.

 

SUPERIOR TESTING

We didn’t just build this ute; we’ve tested it over and over again. 4,000,000km of testing in the hardest conditions: searing heat, torrential rain—even snow. That’s the equivalent of 100 times around the earth to prove that the D-MAX is built to last.

       

YOU CAN BE CONFIDENT

Before we put our name on this vehicle, we needed to know that it was capable of taking on any challenge. We’ve built you something that’s more than just a ute. D-MAX is the tough driving partner you can rely on. We’re so confident in this promise we offer one of the best warranties on the market.

We offer a 5 year/130,000km warranty^ as standard on each and every D-MAX ute. No messing around. 5 years, factory-backed, bumper to bumper. And if you sell, the warranty is transferable. That’s how much we believe in D-MAX and Isuzu engineering.

Our support doesn’t just stop with the warranty. If something should go wrong, we’ve got you covered with our 5 year Roadside Assistance Program. This service is provided across the country by Australia’s most respected motoring organisations in each state – NRMA, RACQ, RACV, RAA, RAC, RACT & AANT. Wherever you go, you can drive with complete confidence that you will be taken care of with our extensive Roadside Assistance Program’s service network.
