These have been challenging times for Isuzu but the Japanese company is still holding on with its light commercial and truck offerings.
At this week’s Tokyo Motor Show, Isuzu presented the Japanese premiere of its new 2012 Isuzu D-MAX mid-size pickup truck that was developed in collaboration with General Motors.
The Isuzu D-MAX is a sister model to the new global Chevrolet Colorado, with both vehicles manufactured in Thailand.
The body-on-frame pickup truck is offered in single and double cab configurations and choice of three turbo diesel engines including a pair of 2.5-liter units producing 115HP and 136HP, and a larger displacement 3.0-liter powerplant rated at 177-horsepower, linked to either 5-speed manual or 5-speed automatic transmission.
Buyers can also opt for a full time all-wheel drive system.
