OFF-ROAD READY
Dirty, dusty off-road adventure is where the D-MAX really shines, with engineering and technology features that'll keep you going across all types of terrain.
Rough Terrain Mode
Engineered for Australian conditions, every 4x4 D-MAX features Rough Terrain Mode as standard. Rough Terrain Mode works alongside the rear diff-lock to provide a new lease on traction that maximises drivability in technical, slippery and rough conditions.
Hill Start Assist & Descent Control
Take on any challenge with Hill Start Assist which prevents vehicle roll-back when starting on steep gradients (above 5.7 degrees). Hill Descent Control gives you the confidence to tackle any downhill terrain by ensuring maximum traction.
Rear Differential Lock
To get you out of the toughest spots, our 4x4 models come standard with a rear differential lock. If you’re on a slippery, uneven surface with the rear wheels spinning, the rear differential lock assists the low-ratio 4WD-low mode to give you the extra traction and control needed to keep moving.
800mm Wading Depth∞
Wherever you’re planning to go, your 4x4 D-MAX is up for the task. With generous steel underbody protection, and a wading depth∞ of up to 800mm, the D-MAX is your most reliable way to escape the everyday.
4x4 Terrain Command
Engineered for Australian conditions, every 4x4 D-MAX features ‘Terrain Command’ as standard, allowing you to switch between 2WD-high and 4WD-high modes at speeds of up to 100km/h. When the going gets tough, selecting 4WD-low will provide increased traction and complete control.
Underbody Protection
The D-MAX 4x4 models have sturdy steel underbody protection, including a steel sump and transfer case guard, for extra protection in punishing off-road conditions.
