isuzu d-max shortage

Yes, the Isuzu D‑MAX has had patchy availability in Australia, thanks to global chip hiccups, shipping bottlenecks, and demand that’s been a bit… enthusiastic.

Wait times have eased compared with 2021–22, but popular trims like the X‑Terrain (and certain colours/options) can still mean anything from weeks to a few months depending on dealer allocation.

Your best play: be flexible on spec and colour, call around beyond your postcode, and ask about in‑transit or demo stock.

If patience isn’t your superpower, the used market on places like Tradingpost can yield near‑new examples—just expect pricing to reflect the shortcut.
