using the gears. And as for the brakes proper- 300mm discs up front and 295mm drums
up back – they managed to smoothly and
promptly curb inertia. The factory-fit REDARC
electronic brake controller helped to fine-
tune how the trailer behaved when slowing
down, too.
In regards to the quoted torque and power
figures – they become mere numbers when
behind the wheel. What matters is that when
you begin to accelerate, with a heavy load
behind you, the engine gets to work early and
you gain momentum steadily, without any
sense of struggle or effort.
That is certainly the case with the Isuzu
D-MAX. We towed a one tonne camper
behind it – not by any means pushing its
capacity – and found that when babysitting
this lightweight RV it performed a dream. I
especially noticed the difference setting off
from a standstill. The Isuzu lacks the 0 to
100 in 0.5 millisecond aspirations of certain
vehicles, but in exchange you have immense
pulling grunt and a linear growth of speed.
The word ‘workhorse’ appears to have
been coined with the D-MAX in mind. Yet the
Isuzu never seems stressed by its workload.
When accelerating and shifting upwards,
with a sizeable load behind, the D-MAX stays
relaxed – like a globetrotting stockbroker
in a Hawaiian shirt, relaxing beachside and
sipping a martini, who is actually, despite
all appearances, making more money in a
minute than most do a year.“WHEN ACCELERATING AND SHIFTING UPWARDS, WITH A SIZEABLE
LOAD BEHIND, THE D-MAX STAYS RELAXED – LIKE A GLOBETROTTING
STOCKBROKER IN A HAWAIIAN SHIRT, RELAXING BEACHSIDE AND
SIPPING A MARTINI, WHO IS ACTUALLY, DESPITE ALL APPEARANCES,
MAKING MORE MONEY IN A MINUTE THAN MOST DO A YEAR”
One tonne did not trouble the D-Max.
It was like Arnold Schwarzenegger
