About the Isuzu D-Max
The third-generation Isuzu D-Max, launched in late 2019, represents a significant shift for the brand, moving towards a more refined interior and advanced safety tech while retaining its 'truck-first' DNA. Unlike many competitors that use passenger-car derived engines, the D-Max's 1.9-litre RZ4E-TC unit was developed by Isuzu's commercial division, featuring a cast-iron block and a maintenance-free steel timing chain. In the UK, it became the go-to choice for utility fleets and farmers due to its 3.5-tonne towing capacity and Euro 6d compliance without needing AdBlue in earlier versions. While it lacks the outright pace of larger-displacement rivals, its reputation for longevity and low running costs makes it a staple of the global pickup market.
