Isuzu D-Max vs Nissan Navara vs Toyota Hilux: Big Pickup Test, part one | Top Gear Philippines
This month’s Big Test is literally big: Not only does it feature three titans in the form of the 2023 Isuzu D-Max 4x4 LS-E, the Nissan Navara Pro-4X, and the Toyota Hilux Conquest, it’s also quite comprehensive that we’ve split it into two parts. Welcome to part one of our Big Pickup Test.
Of course, we have to test 4x4 midsize pickup trucks off-road, so we’re back at Driftwoods Action Park in Indang, Cavite, to play in the dirt. This week’s installment covers the first four sub-tests. First up are our staples: 0-60kph off-road acceleration, and 60-0kph full braking. But it's not just about raw power and performance-we also delve into the realm of ride comfort and handling.
Pickup fans already know by now that each of these trucks have their own strengths. The Toyota Hilux makes no compromises to maintain its rep for reliability and robustness, the Nissan Navara puts a premium on comfort with its coil-sprung suspension, and the Isuzu D-Max now prides itself on balancing utility and lifestyle use. Watch the full video above to see which of the three takes the lead in these initial challenges, and then go watch part two of our Big Pickup Test here: • Isuzu D-Max vs Nissan ...

In fairness sa TopGear Philippines magaganda mga previous and current vids nila. Perks of having good fellas of driver-car reviewer. Keep it up guys!
Navara if you seldom carry heavy loads as this truck offers the best ride comfort. Hilux if you need a work truck, it offers large payload capacity and easiest to maintain Dmax for part work truck part leisure vehicle. Offers best balance in terms of ride among the three and very fuel efficient too despite the large displacement
Navara VE 4x2 2022 payload capacity: up to 1,043kg Conquest 2.8 4x4 AT 2023 payload capacity: 1020
walang diff lock ata dmax
with or without diff lock . . . isuzu will always be the king of diesel engines ksi lifetime mga makina nila . . theres a reason kung bkit no. 1 cla pag truck ang usapan at in 10-15 matic overhaul ka na sa toyota hahahahahah sa other brands bka less than 10 yrs nasa junk shop na hahahahaha
ill wait for navarra interior refresh cant wait. :)
ICYMI, here’s last month’s Big Test between the Ford Ranger Wildtrak 4x4 and the Toyota Hilux GR Sport: kzhead.info/sun/a76YnpqlrpN3g4k/bejne.html
since the three are all pick up trucks you should #1 put load on the bed and see who squats the most, then #2 whilst still having a load at the back take is for a spin. if i would do only go off road and nothing at the back, i would go jimny right of the bat. and sir beeboy is correct if you buy a pick up then go off road and complain you better buy SUV instead.
You guys are killing it! 👍🏿
Killing the trustworthiness of topgear reviews
Malaki ba ang iimprove ng comfort ng hilux pag nagpa upgrade ng suspension at magpa lift?
nice review
I can't wait till yall do this same test but add the new Triton
For me Kung anong mayron ka Yan ang the best for you.
The Navara is a head turner and worth the price
I thought after buying a UTE i'd stop watching these kinds of videos but I can't... I got a 2023 pro 4x and it is every bit of what's mentioned here and then some.
Its nice to see Sir Beeboy back in TGP video😊
Riding comfort navarra pro 4x is the best , but noisy engine.
No 4x4 hill testing?
Navara is my choice 100% Because you don't have always load of your truck. Comfort is big Matters to me
Hi lux good engine ,good aircon,refined engine noise, good in heavy hauling, reliable , friendly maintenance but not comfortable riding when not loaded.
In my country v easy to steal..v risky
Navarra. All.other vlogs its the clear winner. Fuel economy comfort, payload.
Pro-4x best bang for your hard earned buck!
Not for me
Engine durabilty should be included in the test
Hindi lahat gusto mukha nya sobrang laki
I love toyota but I have to agree on this one
Actually the best would be the Navarra 4x4 AT VL. Cheaper and having all the same features. It's only a different body kit and tyres.
big pick up test triton pls?
Navara is the best among all pick up the only cons loud engine noise. Dmax hi torque good ac and most fuel efficient. Cons hard steering wheel. Strada good acceleration nice handling good riding comfort silent engine. Cons aircon not so good. Hi lux nice torque, good for loading and heavy duty use. Maintenance friendly. Cons not comfortable to ride and drive. Just sharing my review. Peace!
In addition... Navara... It's really good, but once you ride it in a flood. You'll be surprised and ask yourself.. WHERE IS MY BREAKS! Strada... already needs an update (new face, etc)..also not good in a sudden turn. compares to its competitors... DMAX.... the price..the price..
How about mazda bt50?
Totally agree with you. Yes very noisy engine for navarra maybe it's because of its timing chain..
@@donpobre1141 Brakes
@@arthuraguilar2481 ayieeee.. typo error lol..
Wish I could also see Strada 2023 be included here! 😅
no ranger?
TopgearPH bumabawi. 👍
Nissan pro 4x has the lightest steering wheel among all nissan pick up variants.
Awesomr review!!
May i know why you did not include strada and ranger?
I think ranger is on another level while strada might be less popular than the three?
Pls explain another level?
i have Isuzu dmax 2019 the best! 🎉
Magiging light po talaga yung steering depende sa hangin na nilagay nyo po.
Pero ang ford kahit kulang ang hangin malambot talaga steering
navara syempre. Ilang taon na engine nyan so no excuse na for reliability thing in fact matibay nga makina nya. the only cons maybe is the loud engine and 1 n 2 gr lag
Loud nga po hahhaa pero very good looking tlga kahit babae ako i like its angas look. Ride comfortability the best din.
Engine durability is my top concern. 1. Hilux and Isuzu 3. Nissan
E gine durability Dmax
Engine obviously go for 3.0l dmax
Nice road testing😊😊😊isuzu❤❤
No chevy?
Hopefully mid variants naman.
Na try nyo na po ba mag paCAR FINANCING sa Global Dominion Financing Inc.?
Il go for dmax mas maangas tignan sa labas and mas nagandahan ako sa loob compared sa iba
Acceleration and deceleration tests on a dirt road? That's something new but the trucks being tested on pavement for acceleration and deceleration eliminates a lot of variables in the test. I believe that using the pavement for these tests would make the results much more accurate. After all, trucks encounter dirt/rough roads about 10% of its lifespan, unless it is a dedicated farm truck.
It's true. 90% of the time these trucks will run on the cement roads
All trucks do have pros and cons and no one is better than the other. It always comes down to your preference coz you cant have it all in one truck. Personally, comfort is my priority preference, since I am driving with family, next is the payload capacity but most of the time cargos for my business is well handled by my pickup. Next is fuel efficiency and lastly is speed or acceleration. My opinion 1. Ford Ranger 2. Nissan Navarra 3. Isuzu Dmax 4. Mitsubishi 5. Hilux I own red nissan navarra Calibre-X What i like Affordable Very comfortable Goodlooking 360 camera Keyless startup Spacious cabin Leather seat cover Zero degree seat What I dont like 1. Very noisy 2. Engine is like straining 😂😂😂 3. High beam assist- you cant just put your car on high beam by yourself. 4. Front light on even if its daytime.
According to the journalists with the best reputations, Navarra is one of the quiest pick-up. So maybe you're more sensitive to the sounds. Ranger is more comfortable, but less riable than others.
@@jingorooroad2559 the ford in the Philippines is Thailand made not American. So it maybe better since Thailand is also known for making quality vehicles
@@rrkkmindsvids8774 sadly, it doesn't seem to be changing anything. As far as I know, many people in Philippines are complaining with Ford's reliability and problems. Maybe the car itself is assembled in Thailand, as Toyota or other manufacturers, but the parts are mostly not build in Thailand. Just assembled, which is not the same. There are some factory as well around Manila producing parts for automotive industry and brands. Brands are very smart on managing costs of productions.
😂qqaaqllll 😂P 😂aq
in terms of both preference and the facts itself, Navara has the best driving comfort, handling, performance just to add to its great value and its good looks! Sorry but Ford can be the least among the list, a lot of issues from most Ford owners, websites, forums and pickup/truck communities.
Kulang, lagay nyo Ford, Mazda and Mitsu Pick-ups. Yung sabay sabay sa isang video.
Caraca só picapes dos chinos😊
Shouldn't it be 0-100kph? Mga Amerikano ang nagpauso ng 0-60, mph yung gamit nila. 60mph = 100kph
The best handling stablity cornering performance pickup truck is Mitsubishi Triton, second Ford ranger, third Nissan navara,fourth Isuzu D-MAX,fifth Toyota Hilux
Dagdag ko ang Chevy/Storm! 2018 or 2019 madel yata yun? Diko sure! Sa Sister ko yun! Kagagaling ko lang ng Dulag,Leyte June 5-11,2023 nagstart kami sa Pque.875 KM papunta doon! Iam 65 Y.O ako lng mag isa nagdrive! Balikan! Yun talaga ang Totoong Testing! 6 kami magkakapatid na sakay,at puno ang Cargo box ng karga! Hayahaya ang biyahe! Napakalambot ng Manibela,ang preno sobrang lambot,pag apak mo akala walang preno,pero itinudo mo apak para kang ipinapako sa lakas! Papunta sa Leyte pahinga ko lang 2:45 am (9:20pm kami umalis ng Pque) nagkape kami sa pagpasok ng Quirino Hiway,tapos almusal kami sa Jolibe Naga,then pinakapahinga ko talaga sa Matnog Port na! 11am(June 6 na) wala pa kasi available na Ferry boat! Almost 5 hours ang waiting time nmin! 5pm nasa Allen port na kami..Sa Samar majority ng roads ay hindi friendly,particular sa Calbayog! 11pm nasa Tacloban na kami..walang sakit ng katawan parang nagdrive lang ako from Metro Mla to San Juan Batangas! Ang concern ko lang ay ang mata ko ang napagod! Thanks sa Hyssop Mineral drops! At Thanks na rin sa Redbull..naka 4 bottles ako from Pque to Tacloban ang solid po ng epekto! Despite of my ages? No problem..Pagdating nmin ng Tacloban sa Canelsa Hotel kami nagpahinga,tulog agad ako,gising 6am na ng Umaga! Lakad lakad na ako sa downtown Tacloban! Parang regular day pakiramdam ko! Ang kagandahan pa sa Storm Chevy 4X4 pickup ay sa mahabang convoy ng mga Truk at Buses pag free mag overtake takbo niyo ay 80/KPH (Night drive) Pag overtake ko pagapak ko sa accelator parang Speedboat umaangat ang harapan ramdam mo ang pagsipa ng Turbo 100KPH agad! Sa lambot ng Manibela,pasok ka kaagad sa likod ng nasa unahan mong Car! Solid ang Storm Chevy! Thank you so much kuya Storm! Sa diesel matipid din! Lumalakas lang nman pag mga downhill kasi inilalagay ko sa Manual mode.. Pag ako pinagpala ng Panginoon gusto ko Isuzu Dmax 4X4 MT with Diff Lock! Or Mazda B50 ba yun? Sa Leyte po pala nagdodominate ng Roads ay mga 4X4 pickup! Stay Safe Guys! Always drive Carefully and always Respect your Fellow Drivers! Ituring niyo po sila na parang mga kapatid at kaibigan! GOD BLESS US ALL.."GODSPEED"
Sir Bee boy explained it well on why hi-lux is so much stiffer.
Excuses of a fanboy to be honest, if others can make much comfortable and yet capable of carrying the same load, why can’t they?
@@scalemodeltutor9841 because it's reliable so there's that what is comfort sa mga yan e 😆
Simple lng nman yan. Kung pangkargahan talaga ok ang hilux pero kung comfort navara. Mix of both dmax
Dmax for me 3.0L need lang pa remap para mas lumabas Ang tunay na HP
Asan Ang Mazda bt50? A new bt50 has same dmax engine
👌👌👌👌🔥🔥🔥
it should be only one driver to test the three vehicle why? i watch there RPM is different to another.
You are reviewing a pick-up, show it's purpose, load at least 500 kgs. In that manner, you will be doing justice to its intended use, Not only its new features. Running it unloaded is not convincing enough for me to buy it. Request the showroom or owner to have it loaded
Ranger napaka smooth ng manibila wlang katulad...navara napaka astig din ng mukha..
Depende sa gagamit Kaya ko Sila paabutin Ng 10-20years Kung iingatan ko Pero kya ko rin Sila. Durugin Agad sa maiksing panahon kung walwalan Ang gusto
Navara!
Ford terretory 2023 please
they are the best pick up truck it depends what you needs...
Do a ford everest and nissan terra
Isuzu D-Max because of the interior
Navara all the way!
I love navara. ❤2 year i drive navara😊
How about milleage
Navara is the most refined. Kudos to Nissan!
Navara's steering wheel is so light I drove it using my left hand while resting it on my lap on a gravel rough road (my right is dominant)
True I can attest to this hahaha. very good for literal "chill ride"
@@jhydpumar3244May nabasa ako sa navara group na problema sa navara bigat ng steering haha
@@jhydpumar3244sa pro 4x ba? Sa calibre x light din or sa lahat ng variants? Sa navara group may nababasa ko na mabjgat daw steering ni navara. Ang gulo hah
Isuzu number 1👍
00:05:75 for the Dmax ain't it?
Pick up trucks are designed and manufactured for specific purpose, to cater who's need to transport anything that fits on it, but for some reason and demands, the manufacturer designed a dual cab for additional purpose, to allow backseat passenger at the same time. Many Pick up truck cannot compare to a luxury vehicle or SUV or Sedan with comfy ride. Some model pick up truck did have comfort in ride but they are very expensive. Peace everyone 😊
Most comfortable Mitsubishi Triton, Ford ranger onroad and offroad,fuel economy consumption Isuzu D-MAX, Nissan navara also good on highway, Toyota Hilux good driving slowly on offroad and resale market but not very comfortable driving and handling
Walang strada at ranger
I would go for D-max this time around... Hilux is now outdated even though it's my favourite pick-up truck in this segment
Yes i love izusu❤
navara all the way👍👊
I'll Rank the 2022-2023 pickup trucks in order according to my favorite: *Ranger Number 1 (best in general) *Navara Number 2 (best in ride quality) *Hilux Number 3 (best in hype) *Dmax Number 4 (best in reliability for me) *Strada-Triton Number 75 (baduy ang design and pops smoke kahit brand new nausok ang mitsubishi)
Ranger fuel economy tsaka Ang tahimik Ng andar Ng makina at napaka good Ng Aircon.
Agree, in comfort and looks ranger is on top.. but iunfortunatly, what we dont have is ford pick up truck due to high maintenance and reliability issue.
@@arneldayrit5770 You don't now what your talking about. What high maintenance? They are all the same in maintenance cost. What is being maintained ba at dimo alam sinasabi mo? Basically it's just engine oil and air intake and fuel filter, oil filter. That's it, they are all similar in cost either genuine or aftermarket. How do you know ang reliability ng Ranger eh sabi mo wala kang Ranger.
@@bethzarin6439 Please respect other peoples opinion. Yes, not a ford pick up owner here but doesnt mean knows nothing about ford. Auto reviewers do not own cars they reviewed. Means ownership is not the only way to know a particular car. Besides having 4 pick up trucks at the same time takes a lot of review and test drive. Please respect.
@@arneldayrit5770 wag ka na paawa, sabi mo "due to it's high maintenance and reliability issue" eh. Yun pa lng may mali ka na kasi sabi mo wala ka namang Ford, pero based sa sinabi mo eh obviously sinasabi mo na high maintenance tapos sirain. Ang tanong ko paano mo nalaman eh sabi mo wala ka nga Ranger? Ano yan kwento kwento lng narinig mo sa kapitbahay mo? Eto sabihin ko sayo, ang mga pickup na available sa PH halos pareho lng ang maintenance interval. At pareho lng ang presyo ng pyesa mapa engine parts man or underchassis parts pareho lahat. Walang pinagkaiba ngayon ang Ranger at Hilux sa reliability, kasi mula nung nakipagsabayann si hilux sa features eh hindi na sya kasing reliable tulad ng dati. Ngayon dako tayo sa pyesa, Availability ba kamu ng parts? Andami, 2023 na. Kahit anung brand ng sasakyan merong pyesa mabibili sa casa, sa lazada, sa surplus, etc. Intindihin mo ang reply mo, kasi mali ang sinasabi mo baka maniwala pa sayo mga tao eh.
Why there are a number of Ford bashers? Tnx po sa seryosong sasagot
get anew driver for dmax
Pro4x #.1
Without VW Amarok 2023 in the list is a let down to me.
Not even available in PH so why bother mentioning it?
Hilux the best❤
No Ranger
Dont give the best value for money award right away, give it after 20 years.
Hilux will easily achieve this
Marami kang malalait sa hilux pero sya prin ang nagdidikta sa market at hndi lang sa pinas 😂
Navara VE 4x2 2022 payload capacity: up to 1,043kg Conquest 2.8 4x4 AT 2023 payload capacity: 1020
Dmax will dominate will it all over performance
Wala bang matarik na roughroad na akyatan puro patag lang nman
Navara no 1
pro4x is best👌🏻👌🏻
Insert the mitsubishi strada and ford ranger
Up
Where's the ford ranger at?
Nasa shop po.
Isuzu d-max!!!💪
No Brasil,a Nissan Navara se chama FRONTIER e a Isuzu D-max se chama CHEVROLET S-10.
Ha? Light steering si navara? Of all cars ive driven the navara has the heaviest. Its my daily drive and it feels really heavy. They might have updated it already though since im driving an EL 2019. The engine noise of the navara is really loud. Its also has the oldest powertrain i guess and all it needs is a proper remap. I had mine remapped and it flies. The triton, (not included here) is fast. Check out the mega ute drag test in australia and the triton finished third. The navara 6th if i remember correctly and theirs is a twin turbo navara. The hilux is still king of sales but I see more navaras on the road to be honest. Its a common occurrence on the road na makakasabay mo tatlo hanggang lima na navara sabay2x lol. Its almost a volks beetle andami sa kalsada. Lol.
Light steering na si Navarra, true yn. Bka nga dati d p ok
Depende po siguro sa gagamit, pero light steering din 2023 navara namin, parang wala po ata pinagbago sa new and old navaras, facelift tsaka addition of safety systems lang siya hehe. Engine noise is loud but bearable
Ung 2.5 ng nissan maganda pa din at reliable, why fix if is not broken, mas bago makina ng toyota at mitsubishi, anatyin mo mag upgrade ang nissan, kahit luma na d23 engjne eh nkkasabay pa din sa mga bago ngayon
Ayaw ko lang sa nissan ay di marunung gumawa ng mags..pangit talaga tingnan..
labanan ba to ng mahihina? wala kasi ang strada..
I have a small kids with me all day in a farm, I need a truck witb comfort and workhorse combine
Isuzu Dmax then. If you want comfort but noise is okay! Then nissan. If you want strong payload but comfort is minimal, then hilux.
ang hilux nagiiba ung takbo nya pag may karga d matagtag
I’ll stay away from the hilux if I’ll be using it for everyday commute (not for business). Imagine a daily drive using the hilux. Yung pagod ka na sa work mas mapapagod ka pa sa tagtag gulping gulpi ka na pag-uwi
Kaya po nag papalit ng suspension na adjustable like tein o bp51 at ohlins yung mga naka hilux, kung gusto nila ng comfort
@@wishtone885 which means additional cost. And does not really improve the comfort by a huge margin.
@@ErnestMarvinEsteban kung comfort habol mo sir suv ka nlng siguro po. 👌👌👌
@@wishtone885 lol. There are people who still needs the utility of a pick-up but also be a comfortable daily vehicle. 2023 na po.
go SUV then lol
Both pick-ups i test drive, basta sa hilux ako parin napusuan ko kahit tag2 kunti 😂
Sana all marunong mag drive Sana all ganyan kotse
You will have soon. Believe in yourself, to God.
Why no Ford Ranger?
Maybe no unit yet available
Repair shop 😂
Nasa pagawaan pa po si Ford. Peace ✌️
Kahit ano pa yan basta sa DIGICARS niyo kukunin sureball… iyak after 😅
Ano po digicars?
@@akoikayoutubechannel7584 car dealership po sila
parang sa speed test ay medyo di parehas, 2.5 lang ang navarra, samantalang 3.0at 2.8 ang dalawA
wheres ford wildtrak???
Nagpaparepair.
The Ranger will blow those 3.
Easy win kasi lol.
