Arguably YES, absolutely agree with the Ford Ranger's engine prowess as well as with the Renault-Nissan engine designed 3.0-litre V6 Nissan Navara.... But for 2013 sir, this is only a single magazine.
On the other hand though, don't quite agree as this is only a single Australian based magazine that is not even quite influential for a 4x4 advice....
The Isuzu D-max 3.0-litre iTEQ VGS Turbo and its twin-turbo 2.5-litre Euro version are REAPING more awards not only in Australia but also in the UK, Germany, and Austria, where the magazine shootouts are more influential, like Auto Bild of Germany and 4WD Action of Australia. Allrad Champions of Austria is an arm of the Auto Bild magazine.
The 4WD Action test, on the other hand, was even done in fine desert sands with top-hauling at the vehicle's GVM.... The D-max was the top pick overall and it was even the most fuel efficient in the group.
Here are the different pickup 4x4 shootouts, one is in a detailed pdf copy....
The European and Australian theatres awards
International & Past Awards | Isuzu UTE Australia, Isuzu D-MAX, Isuzu Awards
The 4WD Action and Delivery magazines awards
Latest Awards | Isuzu UTE Australia, Isuzu D-MAX, Ute of the Year

But the "better" D-max engine, the 4JJ1-TCX series, will not be offered to the Philippine market, so these international shootouts are meaningless for Pinoys unless that engine gets here hehe.... Not only that the message i got recently by SMS from an Isuzu agent that it's not only going to be offered, but most likely, it will never be offered.... The Isuzu Motors in these foreign countries are from the superior business sense of Isuzu Philippines.
In Philippines though, my top pick is still the Toyota Hilux 3.0 D-4D and the 2nd is the 5-inline cylinder Ford Ranger 3.2 TDCi. Push comes to shove if i want more power and torque, the Ranger will be the KING ;)
