Isuzu And Arctic Truck’s New D-Max AT35 Is One Wild Mid-Size Pickup Truck

Isuzu and Arctic Trucks, the company perhaps most famous for taking Top Gear to the North Pole, have taken the wraps off a new upcoming off-road truck, the all-new D-Max Arctic Trucks AT35 that has broken cover at the 2021 Commercial Vehicle Show in Birmingham, U.K.

“Our partnership with Isuzu now stretches back years. During that time, we have had several versions of the Isuzu D-Max AT35 however this is the best yet,” said Peter Smith, Arctic Trucks‘ UK Managing Director. “I am excited for when this highly desirable and outstanding AT35 goes on sale, we are expecting a huge amount of interest from its appearance at the CV Show.”

Starting at the very foundation of the truck, Arctic Trucks has strengthened the Isuzu D-Max‘s chassis, added Bilstein Performance Suspension, and fitted 35-inch All-Terrain tires for confidence off-road.

The company has also given the truck’s interior the once-over, adding Arctic Trucks branded headrests, floormats, and sill covers, while the leather interior provides comfort and durability. From the Isuzu factory, meanwhile, the truck gets traffic sign recognition, automatic windshield wipers, and emergency lane keeping. It also gets a 9-inch infotainment touchscreen and dual-zone climate control to keep you comfortable whether you’re wearing a parka or a T-shirt.

The Isuzu D-Max comes with just one engine option in the U.K., a turbodiesel with 162 hp (164 PS/121 kW) and 266 lb-ft (360 Nm) of torque. It’s coupled to a standard six-speed manual transmission or an optional six-speed automatic.

“It is a pleasure to work with Arctic Trucks on this prototype in advance of the launch of our new AT35,” said William Brown, Isuzu U.K.’s managing director. “Following the success of the all-new D-Max launch in 2021, it feels very exciting to be launching another new vehicle in 2022. We wanted to build upon the D-Max’s strengths to make a highly desirable and highly competent 4×4 pick-up and we are so pleased with the result.”

All elements of the truck will be built by Isuzu and Arctic Trucks technicians to ensure the best possible quality. Sales are expected to begin in February 2022. Pricing has not yet been revealed.
