We have gathered all of the most frequently asked questions and problems relating to the 2018 Isuzu MU-X in one spot to help you decide if it's a smart buy.

Isuzu MU-X 2018: How much can my car tow?

It’s not a good idea to be towing in fifth gear into a head wind or uphill, or in other adverse conditions. If you do the gearbox will shift back to fourth, or lower if need be. I wouldn’t be too concerned about towing a larger van, providing of course it doesn’t overload the MU-X. You could upgrade the turbo with a chip or other device, but in my view you’re risking trouble by doing it.

Isuzu MU-X 2018: Should I buy one?

The MU-X is solidly built and reliable, and I can’t see any reason why you should be unsure of it. If you want a seven–seat SUV it’s worth considering.

Isuzu MUX LSU 4x4 2018: Does it need an extra a transmission oil cooler?

It’s good insurance, particularly if you are going to be towing, as you plan to do.

 

Isuzu MU-X and D-Max: Cracked inner guard in engine bay

We haven’t had anything reported to us about cracking of the inner guard, but like you have seen reports of cracking on the D-Max. That suggests it could also affect the MUX.

Because of the modifications you have made, and the off-roading you have done, I doubt you would have any success if you were to make a claim against Isuzu for repairs.
