What is it?
The LDV T60 MAX is the facelifted version of LDV's full-size 4x4 dual cab ute, built by SAIC in China and sold in Australia through Ateco. 2.0L bi-turbo diesel four, ZF 8-speed automatic, part-time 4WD with low range. Braked towing is now 3,500 kg and the warranty is 7 years. Currently selling as an MY25 runout at retail driveaway pricing.
The lineup runs from T60 MAX Pro Auto at $37,042 drive-away, through to T60 MAX Mega Tub Plus Auto at $44,937 drive-away. Warranty cover sits at 7 years, unlimited km.
Interior and Technology
Entry T60 MAX Pro from around $37,000 driveaway undercuts an equivalent 4x4 Ranger or HiLux by thousands, now with a full 3.5 tonne braked towing rating and the 2.0 bi-turbo diesel paired to a ZF 8-speed auto.
ANCAP 5 stars but against the older 2017 protocol, and this is the MY25 runout of the outgoing platform. Ride is firmer than the segment leaders, especially unladen.
Should you buy the T60 MAX?
Reasons to buy
- Entry T60 MAX Pro from around $37,000 driveaway undercuts an equivalent 4x4 Ranger or HiLux by thousands, now with a full 3.5 tonne braked towing rating and the 2.0 bi-turbo diesel paired to a ZF 8-speed auto.
- Warranty: 7 years, unlimited km.
- 5-star ANCAP (2017), full driver-assist suite.
- Braked towing rated at 3,500 kg.
Reasons to wait
- ANCAP 5 stars but against the older 2017 protocol, and this is the MY25 runout of the outgoing platform. Ride is firmer than the segment leaders, especially unladen.
- You want the newest ANCAP protocol (the T60 platform was tested in 2017) or Japanese-grade resale, or you want a factory-new nameplate rather than an MY25 runout.
- It is the MY25 runout, so stock is finite. Confirm current driveaway pricing and available grades with your nearest Ateco-backed LDV dealer.
- Top trim climbs to $44,937 drive-away.
