- Q.
- What kind of car did you have before buying your D-MAX?
- A.
- 80 Series Toyota Landcruiser
- Q.
- How do you mostly use your D-MAX?
- A.
- We usually use it around town but also take our 2-tonne caravan on holidays. We also carry the Waeco fridge and our other camping gear in the back of the D-MAX.
- Q.
- How would you say that your D-MAX compares to your previous vehicle?
- A.
- We’ve found that the towing performance, acceleration and braking are much better in our D-MAX. We also have much better fuel economy as well. Our Landcruiser had a petrol engine and used heaps of fuel while towing our caravan. The D-MAX being a diesel uses far less fuel. We are getting twice as many kilometres, it’s fabulous!
- Q.
- How well does your D-MAX tow compared to your previous vehicle?
- A.
- The D-MAX tows our caravan with ease and we don’t have to change down gears anymore. For example towing over the Gateway Bridge in Brisbane is not a problem at all. All while getting better fuel economy.
- Q.
- How does the rest of your family find the D-MAX?
- A.
- Our children are actually drivers themselves and love getting behind the wheel. We did some research and found that the D-MAX has more leg room than the competition for when they do get in the back.
- Q.
- How you would rate your D-MAX out of 5?
- A.
- 5/5
