Isuzu

Isuzu D-Max The D-Max, also known by other names, is a range of light pickup trucks that are also rebadged as Chevrolet models in many markets. This compact pickup can be had with various bed options, and a range of engines, such as the 2.5-litre turbodiesel, the 3.0-litre turbodiesel and the 2.4-litre petrol motor. The poor folks who get stuck with these at work will have to manage with a 5-speed manual gearbox, or if they are lucky, the optional 4-speed automatic. For entertainment, there is an optional radio cassette player to listen to AM stations or play your classic tapes that you saved up since 1985. Also, available as a two-door single-cab or a double-cab four-door, the air-conditioner is also optional, but as a bonus, the heater is standard in all models for those pesky two weeks of winter that we get in this region. Power steering is also optional, as are many other comfort and utility features. It is available in economical rear-wheel-drive and capable four-wheel-drive forms.
