Was in C. America on vacation and rented a 2016 D-MAX for a few days.....5 speed manual, 2.5L Diesel, 4WD crew cab. I think these use a GM platform, Chevy Colorado right? Drove on crappy pavement all the way to really rough dirt/gravel roads, no crawling or anything too extreme.
Drove pretty nice, tires were well worn Kumho Road Venture AT's. Truck had ~35k miles on it. Suspension was firm, a little bouncy but not too bad. Shift on the fly 4H/4Lo, basic spartan interior but it had A/C.....add cruise and it would be a winner. Another cool truck we can't get in the US, the whole region was filthy with 4 door/crew cab trucks. I liked it enough that I started looking on my local craigslist back home. About the closest thing you can get is either a Frontier or Tacoma....the base Colorado 2WD only comes with a manual, no 4WD or manual trans for the crew cab or V6/Diesel...........F that noise.
