The Isuzu D-Max has been around since 2002 and in third-generation guise became Australia's third most popular new model in 2023. Justifiably popular among commercial and private buyers alike due to its durability and broad range of variants, the D-Max was originally sold in Australia as the Holden Rodeo between 2003 and 2008, when the facelifted version was renamed the Colorado and the D-Max itself was released by Isuzu UTE Australia. The first D-Max was replaced by the RT-series in 2012 and then the latest RG model in 2020.
