Manny was wrong all along..

So, Manny harps on about two things in particular:

1) The D-Max is the ultimate bakkie and everyone should buy one because it’s the best DC off-roader;

2) The Amarok is kak and useless off-road and needs a low range transfer case, yadda yadda yadda....

Well, watch this, and tell us what you think of Manny’s theoretical naivety:

So it's a UTE Electronic Traction Control Programming Comparison test?

But I do agree that every manufacturer should now allow front Traction Control to work when Rear Diff Lock is engaged (I notice the cockwombles doing the test are under the Impression TC and DL work together).

Five years ago only the Amarok had the front TC rear DL in conjunction option.

I'm sure Isuzu will get the IT guys to make this small change before the new D-Max arrives in SA...

So you don’t like the anti-Isuzu narrative, Manny?

If you are an experienced off roader and you know how to use your vehicle, only by having both options will you find out.

He won't be able to drive the MUX.

He is so used to making small steering corrections every time he takes Fearless around any turn or bend... :lol:

Every decent 4x4 has a center DL/transfer case - very few have an open center diff...

The only thing that bothers me about that MUX pic is that it is right next to a Botox and slenderwonder advertisement.

Manny did you perhaps take it for a test drive?
