Isuzu D-Max pickup - Reliability & safety
A good reputation and a long warranty should make Isuzu D-Max ownership painless
The Isuzu D-Max is popular with buyers who like its no-nonsense approach, placing robustness over all else.
Isuzu D-Max reliability
We’ve heard few criticisms over the reliability of the D-Max. Mechanically there are few recurring faults and the interior and exterior all feel built to last. Isuzu’s five-year, 125,000-mile warranty tells you all you need to know about the company’s confidence in its vehicle.
Safety
All versions of the Isuzu D-Max come with anti-lock brakes, electronic stability control (ESC) and traction control as standard – much like its main rivals. Inside, even the basic trim level has dual front, side and curtain airbags, plus height-adjustable seatbelts for maximum protection. Four-wheel-drive models have the benefit of 4x4 selection on the move for added security in slippery conditions. From 2018, 4x4 versions are also fitted with Trailer Sway Control as standard, using automatic engine torque reduction and braking to bring a swinging trailer back under control.
