Isuzu UK has announced that the towing capacity of the new D-Max has been increased by 500 kilograms for a total capability of 3.5 tons, which puts the Japanese vehicle atop the pickup segment in Great Britain.
The new maximum capacity is available on all 4x4 models registered in the UK from July 1, 2013 and follows Isuzu’s introduction of the new accessories range at the 2013 Commercial Vehicle Show.

“The Isuzu D-Max already boasts class-leading fuel efficiency, residual values and our pioneering five-year / 125,000-mile warranty, however the addition of segment-best 3.5-ton braked towing capacity demonstrates that the Isuzu D-Max is the pick-up of choice for business and recreational users alike,” said William Brown, Isuzu UK general manager. “The Isuzu D-Max was already a compelling proposition, winning awards and breaking sales records, so it’s fantastic that we can now also offer the highest towing capacity in this highly competitive segment.”

The new 4x4 Isuzu D-Max has a starting price of £21,999, while the entry-level 4x2 variants can be had for at least £14,499.
