Isuzu have balance between work and leisure. That's why I like them, you can do anything and not be worried. Also very reliable and don't say no to task you hand it.

I doubt much more power is really required. I used to own and drive a Ducato panel van and that had 88kw with 320nm and even fully loaded with 1.5tons I never needed more power. The Isuzu is almost the last hard Bakkies left. The others have all gone soft.

Why did you get the pre-facelift one?

[@abulelekufa7898]

The Isuzu can do a lot more power if they can be serious

[@masonwabefuzani8274]

They are really not serious 🤣🤣🤣 even the new one 2021 model is 140 kw then you have the likes of the Ranger sitting at 157kw
