The Everest looks like it will only come with a 3T towing capacity, which puts it in the same basket as the MUX
Isuzu mu-x
- Thread starter foreveryoung
- Start date
20.63 coming in February and everyone tells us (except this site) that the MUX will pull it easily and those who are the legal beagles telling us its illegal, sorry that was crap too. So very happy. All the doubters....I guess keep doubting and stick with your opinions because I've pretty much discovered that everyone has a different one.
That's would be a shame, considering it is a ranger chassis engine etc... And has. 3.5t tow capacity, though it has a IRS that might be the reason if it's true for the lower capacity? If so they will be missing a fair market share, but hey ford has been making some pretty ordinary decisions lately
My colorado has the 3ltr motor and we have a 21ft Silverline and let me tell you it pulls it easy !
Isuzu make one hell of a motor

We took the Isuzu MU-X LSTY on a family holiday towing a 2800kg caravan through the narrow windy and hilly back roads of Tasmania. The MU-X never missed a beat. While towing we averaged about 14-15L/100Km and there was plenty of power and low down torque for the job. That is what I mean by sometimes the figures don't translate to real world driving. The MU-X performed like it had another 100Nm of torque.
Over all the new Isuzu MU-X is a strong contender in the family 4WD market. It has almost car/wagon like handling, enough power for almost everything you will ask of it, plenty of creature comforts, 5 star ANCAP safety, will seat 7 in relative comfort, is a robust and competent 4WD and all for less than $60,000. That's pretty good.
What the Isuzu does though is make you really question why you would pay upwards of $80,000 on some of the other 'family 4WD wagons' it's that good. I think it is interesting that you can get an Isuzu MU-X LSU and a decent camper trailer for less than a new top spec Prado and be out there enjoying the Australian bush and not missing a thing.
The Isuzu MU-X LST is a worthy winner of the 7 seat 4WD under $60,000 category for 2013. It's worth noting though that it was by the slimmest of margins. That is not to denigrate the MU-X but to say the others are very close as well.
Yay Mux...
