Improvements to the reliable 3.0l turbo diesel engine mean smoother driving and better economy. D-MAX has always been a strong off road performer as well as an excellent tow vehicle for caravans, boats or horse floats etc.

X-Terrain is priced from only $63,900 plus the usual costs it should be on everyone list for a premium Dual Cab Ute. Check the local dealer for drive away pricing.
