Neil’s Isuzu D-Max helping flood victims in Wraysbury, Berkshire.

Sometimes, common sense does prevail — as was the case when VansA2Z.com editor Neil McIntee asked the Isuzu press office if he could use one of their demonstrators to help out flood victims in the Berkshire village of Wraysbury.

The vehicle in question was a D-Max pick-up, so Neil immediately realised he had the perfect vehicle to help in the rescue effort and spent a day helping local emergency services, retrieving stranded residents from the their homes and shifting sandbags to where they were needed.

After a busy day, Neil explained:

“One of the VansA2Z team lives in Wraysbury and with a D-Max demonstrator sittings outside my house we were more than happy to help with delivering sandbags to residents in their hour of need.

The D-Max never missed a beat, despite being overloaded most of the time and at one point was even called upon to rescue a stranded family”.

The D-Max is available in three cab configurations (single, extended and double) and the popular double-cab models are available in four specifications. Prices range from £14,749 (CVOTR) for the entry-level 4×2 single cab to £23,649 for the top-of-the-range Utah 4×4 double-cab automatic.
