2015 Isuzu D-Max Review 4×2 SX High-ride cab chassis - CarAdvice
The Isuzu D-Max 4×2 SX High-ride Cab Chassis is one of 13 variants of the workhorse ute offered by the resurgent Japanese brand. Seeing overall vehicle sales growth of just over 63 per cent between 2013-2014, Isuzu Ute’s considered push in Australia sees the D-Max Ute holding its own in a competitive marketplace of established brands and models. Some hammers might be fancier than others, but they uniformly have a job to do, and, well, the Isuzu D-Max knocks in a nail like the best of them. Available in a single mid-level SX trim, the 4×2 D-Max High-ride looks like its 4×4 counterpart — with 225mm of ground clearance — but weighs 100kg less due to the lack of a front diff. The added 35mm height over the Low-ride Isuzu D-Max not only looks better, but gives easier articulation over curbs and uneven ground, without needing full-time four-wheel-drive. Built in Thailand, the D-Max shares many components with the Holden Colorado , but features Isuzu’s own 130kW/380Nm 3. 0-litre turbo-diesel instead of the Holden ’s 147kW/500Nm 2. 8-litre Duramax diesel. The Isuzu engine is renowned for its strength and reliability and pulls smoothly and reasonably quietly… for a ‘truck’ engine. Source: www.caradvice.com.au
