isuzu mux 2023 towing review

The 2023 Isuzu MU‑X tows like a diligent pack mule, rated to 3,500 kg braked with a 350 kg towball limit. The 3.0‑litre diesel punches out 140 kW/450 Nm, and while it’s not a dragster, the six‑speed auto is calm and decisive on climbs.

Mind the numbers: a typical GCM around 5,900 kg means if you chase the full 3.5 tonnes, you’ll need to travel light in the vehicle—think fewer eskies, more restraint. Expect real‑world towing economy in the 12–16 L/100 km bracket and a composed, coil‑sprung rear that benefits from quality weight distribution and a brake controller.

It’s stable, honest, and refreshingly unflustered—just don’t mistake sensible for invincible. Consult official documentation for exact figures.
