Isuzu D-Max - Generation 1.1 (2003-2007)

ISUZU D-MAX (2003-2007)

Replacing the long in the tooth Fuego (which was sold until 2005), the D-Max was more refined and had more power (thanks to a direct injection engine) than rivals and more importantly, the vehicle it replaced. Initially an LS model with both two and four wheel drives are standard with an LX added later on.
