    No 3 - the trade guy might have had a point about latest BT 50 Mazda utes. My cobber, a new D-Max owner, told me recently the Mazda BT50s are now a twin truck to the Isuzu D-Max. Mazda now uses the Isuzu D-Max motor, running gear, boxes, chassis etc and pops its own skin on it. And the Isuzu D-Max is alot more reliable than the Rangers and Toyotas of recent times - with all their problems. The Dmax and BT50 run an Isuzu 3.0 light commercial truck motor with some tweaking. Much more reliable and durable - although Isuzu having some body cracking issues etc in rough Aus road conditions as mentioned - one or two other points as well. They can all have some..

    I think if I was buying a diesel ute from 2015 on now, I'd go the Isuzu D-Max, and if after a full body cabin vehicle I'd get a Mu-X. Or BT50 Mazda equivalents if its got the full isuzu motor/drivetrain.

    VW and Mercedes... how to spend money!!! Porsche Cayennes cheap as chips now too! They had one in diesel shop couple of years back for full injector system/pump etc, and freighted from Germany and installed it was $24,000 then.
