Isuzu_dmax_pickup_review

For business people who need the solid practicality of a 4WD pick-up but want something more comfortable, the Utah should be on your list

Business Vans verdict

Isuzu’s D-Max is well-built, with a ruggedness that’s more than skin deep and an excellent powerhouse in the beefy 2.5 turbo-diesel engine. The top-of-the-range Utah adds luxury with leather interior and a range of high-end kit.

But despite the refinements, it’s ready to go to work, with a decent road capacity, towing ability and genuine off-road capability. For a vehicle that’ll graft all week and be fun all weekend, the D-Max has a great deal going for it.
