Engines
Average engine lifespan:
700'000 km

Engine resource depends largely on regular maintenance and the quality of the oils and fuels used, but under equal conditions the average life of a Isuzu D-Max engine could be longer.
Engine production duration:
5 years
9 years
Engine spread:
Used also on Mazda BT-50
Used also on Toyota Land Cruiser
In general, the longer and for more car models an engine is produced, the better its serviceability and availability of spare parts. Toyota Hilux might be a better choice in this respect.
Hydraulic tappets:
no
yes
The Toyota Hilux engine has hydraulic tappets (lifters), providing quieter operation and no need for periodic adjustment, but they are more complex in design and can cause serious engine damage in case of failure.

The turning circle of the Isuzu D-Max is 0.9 metres less than that of the Toyota Hilux, which means Isuzu D-Max can be easier to manoeuvre in tight streets and parking spaces.
Power steering:
Electric power steering
Hydraulic power steering
Electric power steering is simpler, quieter, more fuel-efficient, more configurable and provides additional features such as auto-steering for lane assist and parking. The disadvantages of electric power steering are possible overheating under prolonged load conditions and insufficient feedback (feeling) during steering.
