The pickup truck craze is far from over, and when you live in a hilly region, it becomes more of a necessity. Today, pickup trucks are widely being used for transport and small businesses, as they come in handy when you have to move goods or heavy loads from place to place. Moreover, they carry adequate power to function in a hilly or steep area; they come into play when auto transmission sedans have trouble making that climb.
Talking about pickup trucks, Isuzu is a brand that usually pops up when considering buying one. Isuzu is a Japanese commercial vehicle and diesel engine manufacturing company that makes one of the toughest pickup trucks out there.
Isuzu D-Max is a truck that fulfills all your needs. Whether it is a reliability concern, looks, or drive, the Isuzu D-Max is an excellent choice. It comes in a double cab version, so it is perfect for that family trip you were planning. Talking about the exterior of the car, we have an elegant finish with an aerodynamic body frame. The D-Max is a solid pickup truck when it comes to quality, the 245/70 R16 107H sized tires give it a good grip and decent traction on-road or off-road. Looking at the cargo space, we have a payload capacity of about 1200kgs; so we are looking at a total GVW of 3000kg more or less.
Moving to the interior of the double cab, we see many improvements from its predecessor. The front panel consists of an entertainment system and comes with cruise controls and a beautiful cluster gauge for car status, and a nice finish with premium materials. The overall feel and comfort of the pickup are more than satisfactory.
Let us talk a little about the performance and features of the D-Max. The truck is a fuel-efficient vehicle and its drive is quiet for a 3-liter diesel. The uphill drive feels powerful yet quite smooth; road handling is much easier because of the assist features and it’s a treat to drive.
Coming to the smart features of the Isuzu D-Max, there is plenty to talk about. For instance, the Intelligent Drive Assistance System or IDAS uses cameras and other sensors to make the drive safe and encompasses AEB, adaptive cruise control, and blind-spot monitor just to name a few.
We can get additional traction by choosing the easy select terrain command; this mode almost gives a car-like drive while off-roading. Furthermore, the Isuzu D-Max provides unparalleled safety features, such as the AEB, Forward collision warning or FCW, Post-collision Braking, turn-assist, miss-acceleration mitigation, attention fatigue assist and trailer sway control.
Now the question is: How does this pickup truck perform on the Saint Lucian terrain? Being a mountainous region, the country has many off-road tracks and climbs. Considering the features of the Isuzu D-Max’s performance, this double cab serves as a perfect vehicle for anyone looking to buy the most suitable pickup for offroading in Saint Lucia. It is available at an affordable price.
