Isuzu UK is so confident in the build quality and reliability of the new Isuzu D-Max pick-up that it is providing a 60-month / 120,000-mile warranty.

The extended parts and labour warranty is an upgrade to the manufacturer’s standard 36-month / 60,000-mile warranty and will cover any defects in powertrain components or workmanship, including engine, transmission and driveline components and major ancillaries such as the air conditioning compressor and power steering pump.

Customer deliveries of the new D-Max begin in July and Isuzu says that it already has 7,500 expressions of interest and is confident that the new model will be well received in the UK.

“Warranty cover for five years or 120,000 miles gives buyers of the new Isuzu D-Max peace of mind for longer than any other pick-up in the UK,” comments William Brown, General Manager for Isuzu UK.  “Isuzu has become renowned for producing rugged, durable pick-ups, and we’re now demonstrating our absolute confidence in the toughness of our new product.”

The new Isuzu D-Max will be available with four specification levels and three cab configurations – extended cab, single cab and double cab.  Prices range from £14,499 (CVOTR) for the single cab 4×2 derivative, rising to £21,499 (CVOTR) for the range-topping ‘Utah’ specification double cab automatic.

Even the entry-level Isuzu D-Max offers a very generous complement of standard equipment, including air conditioning, daytime running lights, electric windows and front, side and curtain airbags.

Power for the new pick-up comes in the form of a highly fuel efficient 2.5-litre twin-turbo common rail diesel engine, available with newly-developed six-speed manual or five-speed automatic transmissions.  This advanced Euro5-compliant unit generates 163 PS and peak torque output of 400 Nm at 1400 rpm.

The all-new Isuzu D-Max will be a serious workhorse: it has an impressive three-tonne (braked) towing capacity and a payload capacity of over 1,000 kg. Easily enough for farmers, builders, plant contractors and vehicle transporters.
