I just bought a DMAX and i tell you what it,s a beauty, Holden unfortunatley (not) will go down hill as of this year they will be having DAEWOO DIESEL motors in their utes WOW that should set the market on fire. GO the DMAX nothing comes close to it and just to remind everyone that it did get 4wd ute of the year.

Both the colorado and dmax, 3.0lt TDI are both DOHC and has the same kw and torque outputs. It seems the colorado has the same engine as dmax.
Holden brought the diesel engine from isuze, but holden wanted to give customers chise of petrol aswell.

D-max has DOHC
Colorado has a SOHC That’s about all I think.
I reckon the Colorado will suffer real bad in resales.
Remember when Ford rebadged the Nissan GQ and sold them as Mavericks ?
Identical vehicles until tradein time, everyone wanting that type of 4×4
secondhand only wanted the Nissan badged vehicle, so the Maverick suffered
in resale value.
A hell of a lot of D-Maxes being sold in my area to farmers, forestry and families. Everyone seems very happy with their D-Maxes, apparently 10000 services, no timing belt to change ( chain driven ), excellent fuel consumption, tow 3 tonne.

Looking at getting one myself, and only had Toyotas for years!!.

I own a 2009 D-max and find it is a great vehicle, for all of you blokes that think they share the same engine as the Colorado they don’t, they are different it took me approx 3 months to find out the differance only one thing i can fault is the fuel gauge when will Isuzu make it more accurate than it is, its about 23% out, that is it has a 76lt tank the empty light comes on at 56lt, leaving nearly a 240km range to empty. By the way i also have a 2006 Rodeo with the same issue come on Isuzu when will you fix the problem

The D-Max is an incredible truck! even the N series light trucks, they work well. we sell them in the Netherlands EU. They are strong and easy to service them.

Just try, and feel the Isuzu

It is good to see that some people have done their home work
there is realy no comparison between the isuzu d max and the colorado the isuzu is the genuine article with an isuzu engine try and find what motor is in the colorado it is not in any of the brocures that give that are produced by GM
i am led to believe it is a copy made in maylaisa
we have holden jackaroos that have 3.2 and 3.5 lt engines
the isuzu trooper in thailand has a 3.8 lt buick engine the same engine that is in the holden fronterer (isuzu rodeo)
in america so i am happy that we can now buy the real thing
instead of make believe

The D Max is a better ute that the Colorado. The diesel is a DOHC version of the Colorado’s.

They have better spec’d interiors as well. Just go look at the difference between the loaded versions.

I hope the D Max does well, GM sold it’s share of Isuzu so why is everyone complaining? It’s GM’s fault that the Rodeo name retired.

I have been a Rodeo owner for 18 yrs and I am on my second one. Purchased them because it was Isuzu built and never regreted either one this one coverted to gas (725klm/125lt) and never missed a beat.
Next one will be the D-Max
