Granted some of the models referred to in this clip have since been updated he tells it how it is, no punches pulled here.

Nice to see a review where the Colorado doesn't get smacked about... 
I turned off at the "current best pratice gold standard 3.5t tow capacity". Every expert with half an opinion has woken up to the farce of that one ... accept this nong

What a smart man go Holden 
Apart from the "gold standard 3.5T towing capacity" I pretty much agree with everything else.
Interesting part for me was the graph overlaying the torque curves between the D-Max and the Colorado.
If you're towing, the D-Max/Mu-x shouldn't get a look in, but people still buy them, much like Toyota's, it's all in the marketing campaign they run.

you for got the brain washing from the Jheeps....................
I found the torque curve interesting as well as we are looking at the moment at the 7 seater versions. Isuzu people say it does not have the torque although smoother although looking at the graph it might be flat although a lot less everywhere.

I did say I agree mostly with what he says..........
John Cadogan is a flog IMHO, much like most motoring journo's who base their "opinions" on tested vehicles on how much advertising revenue said manufacturer puts into their publication.
BTW, Jeep are smart enough to not even bother getting into that segment, no American manufacturer would when you can get the next size up, ie. F150, 250, 350 etc etc, Silverado, Ram for similar money over there.
If I needed a dual cab ute to tow 3.5T there's no way I'd be looking at anything else other than what I've listed above.:rockon:
Agree with you @Matty4
Dual cab towing 3.5t.........what about the chassis failures?
"Gold Standard" bent Utes :first:
I don't think any of these modern utes manufactured in Thailand should be towing anywhere near that weight.
Just my opinion

funny, thats my first thought as well @davemc
Maybe the Great Wall or Tata beats them just
Really ? I I would have thought that English cars are the worst
Wank, even the mighty Cruiser can't tow 3.5 unless it's empty...................................
Yes they don't even rateMaybe the Great Wall or Tata beats them just

they are all running German electrics now days..............
except the Range Rover Sport - it has Indian electrics
