POWER TO THE PEOPLE

The Isuzu D-Max is a robust, never-say-die bakkie that offers character, reliability, and value. Now that the 2.5-litre models have an auto option, there’s even more practicality for the price, says Arthur Jones.

POWER TO THE PEOPLE

Braais, biltong, and bakkies – it doesn’t get more South African. We’ve got bakkies that range from R300 000 to more than R900 000; bakkies with all kinds of spec levels for all sorts of purposes. There’s a bakkie for everyone.

The Isuzu D-Max (previously called the KB) is like a people’s choice award-winner – it sits third in the double-cab sales rankings behind the Hilux and Ranger, and it doesn’t top any of the feature categories. However, this blue-collar hero has a loyal cult following, especially among farmers, builders and other tradesmen. For good reason: Even though the interior is a little outdated and spartan, and the 2.5-litre engine hasn’t changed in years, it offers plenty of practicality, durability, and value.
