Farm Vehicles Face-Off: Isuzu D-Max vs the New Ford Ranger

Pick a side as Greg and Daniel each champion a pickup. They put both vehicles to the test with a real-world drive — but which one comes out on top, and can they convince each other of the merits of the opposing truck? Greg falls head-over-heels for the Ford Ranger Hybrid Stormtrak, appreciating its luxury, striking looks, and impressive towing ability — which proves especially useful when he challenges Daniel to hitch up a trailer. Boasting 700Nm of torque, Greg appreciates the extra power at his disposal, alongside the flair of the Stormtrak finish. But Greg openly admits that he is a journalist, whereas Daniel sees what might be considered the extravagance of the Ford Ranger as unnecessary for a vehicle you plan to load tools into and drive around your farm. Daniel backs the Isuzu D-Max V-Cross Commercial, valuing its toughness and simplicity. For him, a dependable work vehicle should keep going without unnecessary complexity, and he argues that fewer electronic features mean there are fewer things to go wrong. The Isuzu can easily tow 3.5 tonnes and is very tax efficient, discussed later in the video. This is a must-watch, in-depth comparison of two popular pickups. Which one would work best for you?
