CAR REVIEW: The D-Max isn’t a luxury ride, but it’s not too tough on the purse and can handle the rough road.
One of the consequences of a stagnant or, worse, shrinking economy is that consumers become more conscious of how they spend their rands. Value for money and practicality, whether one is working class or filthy rich, takes over, denying us the frivolous or nice to haves.
In contrast, about 16000 vehicles in Isuzu KB Series — now referred to as D-Max, in line with the rest of the world territories where it is sold — were sold last year, coming in third place to Toyota’s Hilux and Ford’s Ranger . The D-Max actually comes in fourth if you include the Nissan NP200 in the list, although it’s a half tonner.
Similar to the Hilux, this bakkie has always been associated with hardiness, dependability, durability and a go anywhere, carry anything ability. It’s kind of like playing the Chuck Norris role in farming or industry.
