** BRAND NEW Isuzu D-Max Arctic Trucks AT35 2023 REVIEW

[@googe2312]

I love my new Isuzu dmax

[@cunawarit]

Hang on, I have a D-Max and I like it a lot. Isuzu makes a great off road capable pickup, however, just about every mid-size pickup manufactuer has an ultimate version that's "go anywhere". It is unfair to say that only Isuzu does this. In the UK Ford had the Ranger Raptor, and Toyota has an Artic Trucks version of the HiLux too. Around the world we have: Mazda: BT50 Thunder (Equiped with a rear diff lock and an off road bumper for the Ausie bush) Chevrolet: Colorado ZR2 (35 inch tyres, two lockable diffs, twice as much power than the D-Max and generally more capable and purpose built than the D-Max At35) Jeep Gladiator Rubicon: (33 inch tyres and more articulation and off road capability than any other mid-size truck anywhere) Toyota: Tacoma TRD Pro (33 inch tyres and lockable rear diff) And let's not forget the upcoming Ineos pickup, this may even exceed the Jeep Gladiator in terms of capability on many fronts.

I would like to see the demax at 35 vs the Hilux at 35

Carlow has a video comparing these two vehicles with same configuration

It can tow up tp 3.5 tons but would struggle heavily. The engine is way too small/weak, especially in AT35 trim, in my country you can even get it in AT37 version. Have had a 2017 and 2019 Dmax AT35 before. Older model but same engine, I think though, the auto has been modified in the latest, (2022 upwards) model, the auto in the older model constantly downshifted, so I put it in manual mode an did the gearing myself, much better that way. My 2019 had a remap done, which raised the power to 200hp/440nm. It made the truck much faster compared to stock. Only towing I did was a car trailer with a 1992 Toyota Hilux diesel on it. Around 2.3 tons. You could really feel the weight, so.. not the ideal tow vehicle. It should have had the engine used on the australian market, the tried n thrusted 3.0 litre one. 190 hp/450nm, it has a very flat torque curve, but sadly it is only euro5... Cheers from me in Norway

Here in the UK and Europe, the D-Max only gets the smaller 1.9-litre engine and not the 3.0-litre engine offered in other markets like Australia and New Zealand - I wonder why?

[@bikerman6907]

@@joshbacon8241 thanks to strict emmisions in the EU, only Euro6 is allowed, Isuzu 3.0 is Euro 5 I believe

Just seen one of these, filled the bloody road! Awesome looking truck, engine seems underwhelming though.

[@andriybenko8654]

[@checkyourself164]

ICELAND is not in SCANDINAVIA

[@trevorevans7101]

Pretty good but rather expensive.

[@arctictrucksnorge]

😀

[@bevanpope7924]

Is this thing seriously jacked up or is the presenter shorter than Hammond? Might need a ladder mate…

[@doddsalfa]

Well this car is heavily modified.Get your facts straight

[@jacksonterrance8833]

There are no highlights of this truck doing anything impressive probably is an underwhelming engine

[@humanafterall2076]

And no matching spare wheel unless you’re prepared to carry it around in the tray which negates the purpose of a pickup.
