THE 4x4 industry is obsessed with game-changers. The biggest, the best, the most outrageous contraptions known to man, all in an effort to make someone’s products or services stand out from the crowd. The 4x4s are getting more expensive, the egos are getting out of control, and it seems the one thing that isn’t getting bigger is attention to practicality.

That’s where Queensland mob Rambler Vehicles figured it could carve out a niche for themselves. A business owned by genuine 4x4 enthusiasts who have learned the lessons with what does and doesn’t work, and can offer turnkey tourers to of trying to piece together a build themselves.

While the Queensland company is most familiar with Toyotas, it has taken note of the growing popularity of dualcab utes as do-it-all tourers and figured it was high time it picked up one to show how versatile its builds can be.

The recently released D-MAX makes a great platform to showcase just what Rambler can do. The 2021 version brought the Isuzu up to par in comfort and tech with its competitors and would serve as the perfect Rambler platform.
