The Isuzu Thread

A little further up the coast from Jacobsbaai.

Very rare to find any vehicle of this age in such good condition over here in Common Fisher People county.
 
New Isuzu D-Max X-Rider here soon: South African pricing announced

The locally inspired X-Rider was a popular fixture in the previous Isuzu D-Max range, largely thanks to its combination of sporty styling and a relatively affordable price tag.

After starting life as a special edition, its popularity led to it becoming a permanent fixture in the line-up, so it makes sense that Isuzu would want to repeat its success with the latest generation bakkie that was introduced here in 2022.

It might have taken its sweet time getting here, but the new Isuzu D-Max X-Rider will finally be launched in February.

Ahead of that, pricing for the new model has surfaced on vehicle information website Duoporta and as expected the new spec grades slots above the LS and below the LSE.

It’s available in three 1.9-litre configurations, with the X-Rider 4x2 kicking things off at R640,500 in manual guise and R659,200 as an auto. There’s also a 4x4 auto version on the menu for R740,700.

 
You can now live in your Isuzu D-Max thanks to these new accessories

Provided by Australian brand ARB, the slide-out kitchen and additional off-road equipment can be chosen alongside a selection of tents

Soaring house prices and the inflated cost of living… it all seems a bit daunting, doesn’t it? Thankfully, ARB - an Australian 4x4 accessories manufacturer - has created the perfect solution for you by turning the Isuzu D-Max into the ultimate home from, er, former home. Though, you’ll have to make do without a letterbox and chandeliers.

A slide-out kitchen has been attached to the truck floor bed and includes a gas hob and sink, with extra drawers for keeping your herbs and spices and a fridge freezer to retain a subzero temperature for that end-of-day beer.

You’ll also spot a hard shell ladder nestled away among the empty ketchup and mayonnaise bottles, which you’ll proudly anoint as your very own penthouse elevator, getting you from kitchen to tent within a few steps. OK, elevators don’t normally require any increase to your heart rate, but just get with the program. Sheesh.
Four tents are available, and all integrate a hardtop ‘gullwing’ canopy to shield you from the elements. The diamond quilted flooring doesn’t look half bad either, does it?
