Just confirming that there was seriously an issue with the 3.5 litre V6 petrol version. My model eats 3.5 litres of oil every 10,000 klms and has not changed since new. Holden denied any problem adding teflon to the oil during consumption test???? now changing oil every 5000 klms and will offload as soon as the oilburner has paid for itself. This is not a remote problem as i have heard of several other owners with the same issue.

Yes the new australian ones are i donno about oversea’s models but here they are i own a new one bought it 2 months ago and it is the best thing ever i was new to the 4wd market coming from a falcon xr6 turbo ute and the only thing I find not the best is the interior but all 4wds are fairly basic inside its not bad but its not like a falcon interior but they are the best have started making it into a moto x sexy ute

You cant substitute cubes with boost, one pin hole in your boost system and you back to 100kw if that. My brother has a D40 and wishes the hell he never bought it, his on his second clutch in 20,000 km, and for the same price as a DMAX

not sure where you got those figures from one of my friends drives a dmax 2×4 and only half an hour ago he was telling me he gets in the 700ks to a tank range.

SPOT ON WITH THAT MITCHELL!! Another big fault of the D40 is the 7 sets of brake pads you go through before you get to 30,000 ks

for me it must be on how the driver put some acceleration on his truck either it is a navara,dmax or triniton

Never buy a petrol motor in a 4WD, they are a car motor in a 4WD thus sucking more fuel, deisels have more low down torque anyway and last longer in life, you dont see any petrol semi’s driving down the road do you.

Just bought a DMAX LS-U about a month ago, 18 months old, 18500 on the clock. Flew from Brissy to Melbourne to look at it and drove it home. Am extremely happy with it. Just upgraded the suspension as I tow a 4 horse float regularly (tare weight 1500kgs). Usually tow about 2500 – 2800kgs, has plenty of power and doesn’t skip a beat. Almost bought a Navara, now glad I didn’t!!! Also great fuel economy, what more could you want??

My wife wants a jeep liberty but they only made diesels for Canada for 2 years and if I get a new one I’m thinking of swopping the engine for a Dmax 3.0 diesel, but how the heck do I get a hold of just an engine in Canada?
