I am a grey nomad thinking of trading my 2006 Terracan in on a new Isuzu M-UX or Mitsubishi Challenger. I have only done 98,000 km or so in the Terracan, about 16,000 km per year, and not much in 4WD, and have a 1400 kg tare pop-top. I like the idea of the longer stroke motor in the Isuzu, is it good? Do 4WDs maintain their value more than 2WD in Isuzu? What other make should I consider, Pajero and Prado? What is the relative value of diesel against petrol in this low km situation?
Isuzu is renowned for its diesel engines and I would have no hesitation in going in that direction, particularly for towing, although there is little savings to be had given the low mileage you're doing. Generally 4WDs hold their value better than equivalent 2WDs. For alternatives you could look at the Kia Sorento or Hyundai Santa Fe.
