Powered by a fuel-efficient 265 kW (360 hp) engine, this 4×2 freighter provides ample performance while conserving fuel. Its multi-purpose cattle body is primarily utilised for transporting livestock, offering farmers a practical solution for their transportation needs.

Whether it’s navigating through narrow farm roads or transporting equipment and supplies, the D-MAX excels in meeting the diverse needs of agricultural operations. With its rugged design and exceptional towing capacity, the D-MAX – including the Arctic AT35 and all-new X-RIDER models – proves to be an indispensable asset for farmers looking for dependable, yet stylish, vehicles.

For the farmer’s wife seeking comfort and capability in one package, the ISUZU mu-X offers the perfect solution. Combining the ruggedness of a traditional bakkie with the comfort of a luxury SUV, the mu-X redefines versatility on the farm. With its spacious interior, advanced safety features, and impressive off-road capabilities, the mu-X ensures that farmers can tackle any task with confidence and ease.
