Thanks,

I'm also interested in whether the various brands of canopies are interchangeable. Could help to know this if buying 2nd hand.

I just ordered an EGR flat alloy lid which fits either Colorado or DMax 2012+ space cab so the tub top dimensions must match. Ridiculously cheap too:

I fitted an ARB canopy to my 2015 Colorado, sticker on the inside states that it fits Colorado/D-Max.

Anything that fits an RG Colorado will fit a DMax, the difference is so minor it's not worth trying to explain, the tubs do not come out of the same tooling however but my Grandmother could make the change needed on the centre brackets....if she noticed in the first place it's more of an annoyance than anything else.

What about snorkels?
I have seen a TJM RG Colorado snorkel for sale on FB and TJM said it won't fit 2012+ Dmax? I thought the front side guards were pretty much the same. Im aware that the inner guard pipe may not fit the airbox. But the Colorado one is alot more slicker look than the bulky Dmax version. And happy to customize the inner guard pipe to fit the Dmax airbox. Just really want to know if it would fit the outer guard?
Mux also has a smaller teardrop snorkel but haven't seen one fitted to Dmax. Again they said it isn't compatible but They must be the same for Sure? Aren't the Mux and the Dmax the same body on the front end?

It should fit the outer and iner panels but they are two completely different motors, Colorado being 2.8L and D-Max is 3L.

Good morning fellas, will a dmax 2021 space cab tub fit a Colorado 2018 space cab ?

I have a Colorado space cab with an alloy tray and I need it swapped back to a tub for a fifth wheel hitch.

A 2021 Dmax is the new shape so it definitely will not. It shares nothing in common with the Colorado.

hello there! I've been reading this thread and it helped me a lot, but I need some extra information. I have the colorado(made in brazil) and I looking for parts, since suspension is the same as dmax I can easily order the parts from europe, but I'm concerned in the brakes, are they the same as well as the dmax? Because brazilian pads are not really good, I would try ATE or valeo instead. Also since you guys mentioned some interior parts are also the same, will that be the case for floor mats as well?
