Should we expect The Ranger to have the same issue?

I don't think Isuzu know that either,they are under the impression that Isuzu bodys come from holden,i had 2 dealers tell me that. The relationship between Isuzu and holden has been confusing to understand from what ive read,i know the worst thing holden ever did was run their own drivelines. Either way the dmax is a reliable vehicle,not the fastest or best looking but very dependable with a good warranty. Apparently Colorado got its name because Isuzu stopped holden using the rodeo name.

I believe the Ranger is included in that recall.

Even parts like airbag initiators? Id be surprised if they are different.

No surprise it is durable, they have had decades to get it's stone age equipment reliable. But it's 2 generations behind it's rivals now.

If being the most reliable/durable ute available makes it behind the times in your eyes that cant be a bad thing I guess,rather have a reliable ute than a flashier unreliable problematic warranty magnet ute with a killer sat nav and Bluetooth. Others refuse to get their utes reliable and fix inherent problems,they flog a dead problematic horse and add glitter to a big turd and expect that to fly,for brand blind sheep it may just do that...
