Thanks KingBilly - that is useful info! That's the sort of stuff I was wondering (i.e. compatibility with other things!)

Also Isuzu do not recommend the use of a weight distribution hitch with their towbar but Hayman Reece do.

Roof racks have just been released by Isuzu for the MUX. But there are others also offering them now.

Plenty of info on those forums.

Dualcabs are largely for tradeys and biz to keep the ATO at bay and the accountant happy providing the missus has the other runabout you both use whenever you're doing private mileage  :angel:
There's no Great Evil conspiracy against consumers within engineering, manufacturing and supply. Just the many tradeoffs incurred to satisfy diverse tastes, priorities and wallets. But first comes all the insatiable Gummint eggsperts, nanny-staters and usual suspects.

Very happy with my BT-50 Dual Cab.

Make no mistake - the new generation of Dual Cab's are BIG - long - wide - tall.

If it's also your daily drive then you have to take that into consideration, parking, covered car parks etc....

Drove mine to work today - had to park 750m+ away from the office (North Sydney) to get an unmetered spot
Squeezed it in to a spot, but I think the hipsters who need 1.5 metres front & back to get their car out will have trouble.

That said, my turncoat daughter said that her Grandparents MU-X was nicer to drive than my BT-50, what would she know - only 16 1/2 and still on her Learners permit...

Good Luck with the hunt for a new vehicle...

And another happy BT-50 owner :cup:, I moved from a 100 series landcruiser to the dual cab so I could carry stuff that I didnt want in the cabin, much easier to load now as I dont have to worry about the rattles and crap moving inside

Congrats Envirocat.

This is an interesting thread. I love the wagons, having owned utes in the past, but do miss the ease of chucking firewood in the back when we are away. Probably the only time I wish I had a ute.
