Don’t you hate it when premium or luxury automakers such as Lexus paint the LC in a special color, then call it a special edition? Isuzu is doing the exact opposite to that, promising value for money from the D-Max Workman+.
Launched in the United Kingdom as a double cab, the D-Max Workman+ will be produced in 125 examples of the breed, all of them with the six-speed manual transmission and turbo diesel four-cylinder engine. With 164 PS and 360 Nm of tap, the mid-size pickup truck is much obliged to tow up to 3.5 tonnes while payload is rated at up to 1,161 kilograms.
Over the bone-stock model, the special edition adds DAB radio, a reversing camera, full-size spare wheel, 18-inch alloys, side steps, a tow bar, 13-pin electrical connector, and a bed liner for improved durability. The black plastic that Isuzu utilized for the front and rear bumpers indicates that you’re looking at a workhorse, one that costs £700 over the Utility trim level.
At £21,495 on-the-road, the Japanese truck manufacturer also includes five years or 125,000 miles of warranty in addition to five years of roadside assistance in both the UK and across Europe. No fewer than five colors are available for the exterior of the pickup, namely Sapphire Blue Mica, Cosmic Black Mica, Obsidian Grey Mica, Titanium Silver Metallic, and Splash White.
Care to guess how the competition stacks up? The most affordable double cabs from Nissan, Mitsubishi, and Ford retail at £22,150, £22,365, and £22,395. And at those price points, the Navara, L200, and Ranger cannot match the standard equipment of the D-Max Workman+. As mentioned beforehand, value for money is one of the guiding principles of Isuzu Motors.
Introduced in 2012 with similarities to the Chevrolet and Holden Colorado, the second generation of the D-Max will soon be discontinued to make room for a successor. Reports from Thailand, the country where the D-Max is manufactured, suggest that D-Max Gen 3 will start production towards the end of 2019 for the 2020 model year.
Mazda will soon follow suit with the BT-50, a pickup which currently shares most of its underpinnings with the Ford Ranger from Thailand.
