2015 Isuzu D-Max and MU-X review | off-road - Cars Guide

Taking your 4WD off-road for the first time can be daunting, but Isuzu's new I-Venture Club will help novice drivers get to grips with the basics. Isuzu has found that first-time 4WD drivers often want to take their vehicles off-road, but are held back by nerves and can find approaching 4WD clubs a bit intimidating. In an effort to help owners get the best out of their 4WD D-Max and MU-Xs, Isuzu has created the I-Venture club to offer a starting point for inexperienced off-roaders. Headed by David Wilson – legendary 4WD trainer with over 20 years’ experience - Isuzu plans to expand the I-Venture club across Australia, with day-long events already planned in NSW, Victoria, South Australia and Queensland, with overnight trips... We were among the first to sample the I-Venture experience on the sandy beaches of Queensland's Moreton Island, exploring the 4WD capabilities of the new Isuzu D-Max X-Runner ute and MU-X SUV. Low-range 4WD uses a another set of gear ratios to multiply the torque going to each wheel, increasing the ability of the car to drive itself out of steep or technical situations. High-range 4WD is generally enough when you're travelling on sand or gravel tracks at speed, whereas low-range is for slower situations when the surface becomes particularly slippery or very steep.
