Need a pick-up truck that will go pretty much anywhere? With it’s massive tires and lifted suspension, the Isuzu D-Max Arctic Trucks has you covered 🙌 But is it a one trick pony that’s only good at crossing glaciers? We’ve been finding out -
Is the most extreme version of the Isuzu D-Max the version to go for, then? Let’s find out.Choosing an engine for the D-Max Arctic Trucks is really easy because there’s only one – the 162bhp 1.9-litre turbocharged diesel that you’ll find in the normal D-Max. That doesn’t sound like much power for the AT35’s size, but it actually proves strong enough to give it a maximum payload weight of 1045kg and the ability to tow up to 3500kg.
When you’re on the move, that ‘fish out of water’ feeling arises again. Large knobbly tyres aren’t designed for a trip to the shops or a motorway commute, so the ride isn’t great. In fact, there’s a constant fidget that moves you from side to side in your seat even on smooth roads. That said, the light steering isn’t all that confidence-inspiring, only giving you a vague idea of what’s going on, so we wouldn’t really want to take it for a spirited drive. The Ranger Wildtrack is definitely better in this respect, giving you more precise steering and proving to be less affected by mid-corner bumps.

Ford Brings Rally Trucks and Slammed ‘Stangs to SEMAStranded hikers and backcountry adventures can breathe a sigh of relief knowing that ARB has created the perfect off-road rescue vehicle. Using a Ford Bronco Wildtrak chassis with the 2.7-liter V6, ARB worked with Ford to make an ode to the medical service vehicles of the early 1900s, complete with Tube doors, an under-hood air compressor, and a winch. Upgraded suspension by ARB and a series of chassis protection pieces (rock sliders, traction boards, and a skid plate) mean this Bronco should be unstoppable, regardless of the terrain ahead.Bringing the proper equipment is as important as getting to a medical emergency on time. To this effect, ARB has built and installed a first-of-its-kind roof rack with room for boxes, tires, and various other fittings. Additionally, a 47-quart fridge and freezer has been installed for, well, the worst-case scenarios, or beverage consumption. And the medical providers are sure to stay strapped in, thanks to a set of Recaro bucket seats up front. All-in-all, I wouldn't want any other vehicle to come to save me off the side of a mountain.
