2025 Isuzu D-Max Summary

These days, all the cool kids are buying utes that look like they’ve been working out.

They stand out with their toned bodies, muscular stance, rugged boots and ready-for-action names, like Warrior, Rogue, Thunder and – of course – Raptor.

Such suffixes are far sexier than just Navara, HiLux, BT-50 and Ranger, respectively.

Now, Australia’s third best-selling ute, the Isuzu D-Max, joins the club with the Blade.

Is it fit enough to run with the other pumped-up utes?

Let’s find out.

2021 Fiat Ducato Summary

The Ducato originated in 1981 through a joint venture between Fiat and PSA Peugeot-Citroen, which are both now part of the recently formed Stellantis conglomerate. The Ducato has evolved through four decades and several generations, with more than 2.6 million sold in a variety of body styles (including popular motorhomes) and wheelbases.

The current generation van, which competes in the 3501-8000kg GVM commercial class, is also marketed as the Peugeot Boxer, which was tested at maximum GVM by CarsGuide in 2020. Despite many similarities between them, the latest iteration of the Ducato is more than just a badge-engineered version of its French sibling.

The MY21 Fiat Professional Ducato Series 7 is equipped with an all-new drivetrain, updated safety and convenience features and a class-leading two-tonne-plus payload capacity, which we recently put to the test.
