A (MUCH) BETTER MOUSETRAP.

NEW MODELS Right then, in the interest of brass tacks (as in, "getting down to brass tacks") what can I tell you about Isuzu's all-new D-Max ute, having recently spent a good day and a half behind the steering wheels of five different models on but mostly off the road deep in the heart of the South Island's incomparable High Country. Headlining the all-new D-Max range is the new-flagship or "hero" model, the D-Max X-Terrain. ON - AND OFF - THE ROAD The first thing I noticed about the first Gen-3 D-Max I drove (from Christchurch Airport to our first swap-over spot on the city's far-western plains) was how much quieter Isuzu's engineers have managed to make the latest version (dubbed the 4JJ3-CX) of their signature 3.0 litre DOHC/16 valve four-cylinder turbo-diesel engine.
