ISUZU D-MAX TRIUMPHS AT THE PROFESSIONAL PICKUP & 4X4 AWARDS
The award-winning Isuzu D-Max builds on its continued successes as ‘Most Reliable Pickup’ at the inaugural Professional Pick-up & 4x4 Awards.
JUDGED by a panel of 12 ‘pick-up professionals’, judges tested the Isuzu D-Max both on- and off-road and were impressed by the strong build quality and renowned workhorse character.
Launched in 2017, the new generation Isuzu D-Max introduced a brand new 1.9-litre turbo diesel engine, which retains the 3.5-tonne towing capacity and over 1-tonne payload while providing a quieter, more refined and economical driving experience.
Professional Pick-up & 4x4 editor Liam Campbell commented on the win: ‘Isuzu has been held in high regard for build quality and reliability right back to the Trooper days, and our study confirmed this. In the end, 407 pick-up truck owners were surveyed, and the D-Max came out on top. ‘This is great news for Isuzu as reliability is a very important issue for pick-up truck owners, many of whom are owner-operators and rely on their vehicle for multiple uses.’
Isuzu UK managing director William Brown commented: ‘We’re really proud to receive this award as it strengthens the D-Max’s position as the most reliable vehicle in the sector. It’s really pleasing that professionals from a number of industries have recognised all the hard work that has gone in at Isuzu UK to make such a great product.
‘We make pickups for real professionals, and this award is testament to that fact.’
The reliability award follows a successful year for the new generation D-Max, which claimed ‘Pickup Of The Year” at the 2018 What Van? Awards.
