Thats my dream truck and happy to see isuzu improving big time in their newer models Many people complain about their bad traction control hopefully they upgrade it but overall solid truck with the reliable diesel engine
We’ve never had any issues with the numerous D Max models we’ve driven whether it’s off-roading or 800 mile road trips, bit agricultural but we like that. Thank you Thunder Bear
@@PlanetautoUK yea in my country these are true workhorse people prefer these for work and construction jobs over hilux or any other pickup And here isuzu offer flatbed for single cab meanwhile no other brands do
The fact the D-Max can be driven at normal passenger car speed limits on single & dual carriageways unlike most other pick-ups effectively makes it the Bugatti Veyron of pick-up trucks.
Towbar looks vulnerable (04:37).... it will buff out I guess, surprised Arctic Trucks fitted something that was always gonna take a smack off road, also needs a set of Mud Terrain tyres to do it justice.
Yes, lots of bits to make it unstoppable - our mission though is to show its capabilities with road tyres - slight clunk and scrape, aye it buffed out, thank you Iamyatt
Its a "underrun guard" that Arctic Trucks are legally required to mount there in order for small cars not to get stuck under the car in the case of a collision. This because the car is higher than original.
@@PlanetautoUKnice nice. Im from the philippines. lots of folks here are complaining that isuzu philippines removed the diff lock on all 2023 dmax models
Liked the video! It would've been nice to see one of them a bit more loaded with cargo on these terrains. I mean after all, they're meant to be workhorses.
Well Annabelle I could see myself walking 🚶♂️ up Bootle fell😁👍think I'll leave the 4x4 's to the experts.! Those Isuzu are certainly up to the task eh..?? Some great camera work 👌 finally will the last person please close the gate 🙏 🤣 great video 👌
@@PlanetautoUK How about the Isuzu MU-X in the UK? It only has a 1.9 engine, right? Unfortunately not the engine model. 3.0 in D-Max I understand that England is strict with Euro standards. which it must pass the Euro 6 standard 1.9 engine can pass Euro 6 But the 3.0 engine is only Euro 5.
@@PlanetautoUK The 3.0 4JJ3-TCX engine has much better power compared to the 1.9 RZ4ETC engine. Going through the forest, the 3.0 engine is much more suitable. because its power is more than 1.9 power 150PS (3,600 rpm) torque 350NM. (1,800-2,600 rpm) 3.0 power 190PS (3,600 rpm) torque 450NM. (1,600-2,600 rpm.) Many people say that 1.9 A/T is sluggish, but 1.9 M/T doesn't feel that the engine is sluggish. I would like to ask you what you use in general. and use it to travel through the forest Is this 1.9 engine enough for you? In my opinion, I think the 1.9 M/T is ok to use in the jungle. Go up steep hills because M/T gears transmit full engine power than A/T gears. Although it requires more skill to drive than A/T gear.
We don’t have the MU-X the only engine here is 1.9 TD and manual and auto, Hilux uses 2.4 and 2.8 and benzo used to use bigger. The 1.9 is pretty much all you need if you know how to drive it 😀
Very good video. The AT35 looks so good, with its big arches, lovely alloys and that colour reminds me of the orange on the BMW M140i. Though t was lovely, did those wheels hinder its off-roading at all? The Normal D max's seemed to cope with the job, much easier :) Loe the video btw :)
@@PlanetautoUK I did consider buying one the AT35 that is but as I say in my opinion its over priced and under powered all show and no go, it needs a modern 3.0 V6 diesel with at least 250BHP and a a better interior the new Ranger Raptor makes much more sense at this price point, granted it won't last as long but most people change these every 4 years anyway that that doesn't matter anymore.
One pickup we loved was the X Class, Navara chassis but Benzo V6, had the highlift kit too, it’s strange Isuzu don’t have a bigger engine option like Toyota.
What do you think of the Isuzu D-Max? Can you see yourself in one? Annabelle

It depends where you read, some say limit 3.5T others just over 2T - regardless proper pickup truck. Thank you Josh

Are those dmax equipped with diff locks?
Rear yes

@tnt27php hmm we drove a 22 plate, we’ll double check on the 23 - as far as we know in the UK it’s still fitted, thank you tnt

Glad you liked it, David! It’s astounding how much those pickups are capable of. *A
@@PlanetautoUK it certainly is they took that terrain in their stride superb.
Great fun too with a platoon 😀
@@PlanetautoUK yeah it looked very much like you were having a real good time 👍

Thank you Matt, no it’s higher ride height and tweaks make it more capable than V Cross etc, we also put this through more.
Why is the AT35 wheel spinning more than the others?
It was subjected to parts of the trail, where V Cross didn’t have clearance.
Nice looking lane is that and they seem pretty capable them vehicles
Aye, you should get up there, proper fun in a convoy The Green 👽
@@PlanetautoUK ill definitely be giving that a look definitely some fun looking sections
It’s nice and varied, ra The Green
Sucks that these arent the 3.0 engines but still great video .
Thank you, biggest engine here now is the 1.9 for these.
@@PlanetautoUK uk ?
@@PlanetautoUK I watch carwow as well and basicly they compare these Isuzu which is only 1.9 against Toyota Hilux with 2.8 which is much more unfair .
@henredigitalfire07 yes
Yes, hi lux is 2.4 or 2.8 here
Most better than fortuner and endaver
Thank you Suraj

@@writingwithsuraj806 we’re in the UK 😊
@@PlanetautoUK love you from India❤️❤️
@@PlanetautoUK how can I contact you ❤️
Surely it’s sluggish with the 1.9td
No, the turbo reacts quick enough, best bet drive one Brucey.
@@PlanetautoUK very much doubt I’ll get to drive one anytime soon 😂

1.9 4x4 ??
Yes, all three models inc AT35, thank you Kierie

Thank you Kostas 😊
AT 35 OVER PRICED
That’s not how we see it, considering others are closer to 50k
@@PlanetautoUK But the AT35 is closer to 65 K with VAT absolutely ludicrous amount of money for a truck
It’s hardly a standard D Max, a lot goes into Arctic Trucks, as everything depends where you are too
