LDV has introduced a $2000 factory-backed discount on the 2026 LDV T60 Max Pro, reducing the 4×4 automatic dual-cab ute’s drive-away price for ABN holders to $36,990. This pricing makes the T60 Max Pro the most affordable 4×4 dual-cab ute in the country at the time of publishing. The offer runs until 31 December 2025, unless extended.
LDV T60 Max Pro vs competitors post discount
The 2026 LDV T60 Max Pro now starts from $36,990 drive-away for ABN (Australian Business Number) holders, thanks to the $2000 discount.
This positions it below the last recorded price of the now-discontinued GWM Cannon Premium at $36,490 drive-away, and cheaper than the Toyota HiLux Workmate 4×2, which is priced at $37,730 before on-road costs. It also undercuts the current GWM Cannon, which starts from $39,490 drive-away for ABN holders. However, the LDV T60 Max Pro’s special pricing is only available to ABN holders, leaving private buyers to pay around $8000 more.
Before this new discount, the 2026 LDV T60 Max Pro was priced at:
- $45,243 drive-away (private buyers)
- $42,990 drive-away (ABN holders)
A prior offer had reduced the LDV ute’s ABN price to $38,990, but the new $2,000 discount now sets a new price floor.
What’s new with the 2026 LDV T60 Max Pro?
The 2026 LDV T60 Max Pro received a round of updates earlier this year, adding several key safety features that were previously missing from the entry-grade ute. New standard equipment includes:
- Autonomous emergency braking (AEB)
- Adaptive cruise control
- Lane departure warning
- Lane keep assist
- Electric power steering
- Updated rear-view camera
- Increased towing capacity: from 3000kg to 3500kg (braked)
The additions address some long-standing criticisms for the value-packed ute offering, though the 2026 LDV T60 Max Pro still trails mainstream rivals in certain advanced-safety areas.
Engine and performance highlights
| Specification | Detail |
| Engine | 2.0-litre twin-turbo four-cylinder diesel |
| Power | 160kW |
| Torque | 500Nm |
| Transmission | 8-speed automatic |
| Drivetrain | 4×4 with high- and low-range gearing |
The strong torque output positions the 2026 LDV T60 Max Pro among the more powerful budget-focused utes, though overall engine refinement still trails that of better-established Japanese competitors.
Interior features of the 2026 LDV T60 Max Pro
Standard equipment of the 2026 LDV T60 Max Pro includes the following features:
- 10.25-inch touchscreen
- Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
- Digital radio (DAB)
- LED headlights with DRLs
- Spray-in tub liner
- Black roof rails
- Side steps and sports bar
The 2026 LDV T60 Max Pro offers a functional cabin with the expected tech from most Chinese car brands today, though the large infotainment interface remains more utilitarian than premium.
Warranty and colours
LDV offers ABN buyers a 7-year/200,000km warranty on the 2026 LDV T60 Max Pro. Five exterior colours are available – white comes standard, while Black, Grey, Blue and Orange are available at a $500 premium.
Key takeaways for buyers
The 2026 LDV T60 Max Pro is a standout option on price alone, with the new $36,990 drive-away offer, for ABN holders, making it the most affordable 4×4 dual-cab ute with a tub currently on sale in Australia. The model’s impressive 500Nm torque output, updated safety features, and 7-year/200,000km warranty add genuine appeal for tradies and small businesses looking to keep running costs down.
However, it’s not without drawbacks. Refinement still lags behind Japanese rivals, and some advanced driver-assist features found in competitors remain absent. The biggest limitation is that the sharp pricing applies only to ABN holders, leaving private buyers facing noticeably higher drive-away costs for the exact same bit of kit.
