Review: 2008 Isuzu Alterra and D-Max


Isuzu has always been a force to be reckoned with when it comes to diesel engines.  Their formidable direct-injection lean burners have always been the first choice when it comes to reliability and dependability.  Tune into the news, and chances are, you’ll see an Isuzu truck delivering relief aid to typhoon victims.  This unparalleled reputation has translated well to their passenger vehicle line as well.  The Alterra, D-MAX and Crosswind have been continuously selling strong despite the stiff competition it’s been facing of late.  Not wanting to rest simply on its diesel superiority, Isuzu has been continuously upgrading its products, all to cater to the ever finicky buying public.  Coming from the same basic gene pool, the 2008 Alterra and D-MAX represent the newest offerings from the world’s diesel leader.

Review: 2021 Isuzu D-MAX 4x4 LS-E


Seven. That’s the number of times the autonomous emergency braking inadvertently switched on in a span of two days. Me and the people trailing behind me are not amused. To understand why this could be so, you have to understand the way I drive first. I’m gentle on the brake pedal. I make for a piss poor race car driver, but it sure pleased my mother. Heck, on my two-year-old car, the pads are still more than 8 mm thick, when the minimum is two. The 2021 Isuzu D-MAX’s Advanced Driver Assist System or ADAS does not reward drivers like me.

Battle Hardened Warrior: Off-Roading with the Isuzu D-Max

Photos by Ulysses Ang
The local pickup truck segment is tightening and the one that’s starting to feel the pinch is long-time leader, Isuzu. For years, the D-Max has enjoyed brisk sales, but the increased competition from within the segment has caused its sales to plateau in recent months. Knowing quite well its importance to its line-up, the D-Max had to learn to sing a different tune from the “dependable workhorse” formula it has known from Day One. Earlier this year, Isuzu has done just that. They introduced the 2015 version of the D-Max, a timely upgrade that the company hopes will lure weekend warriors and lifestyle-oriented buyers to join the long list of satisfied Isuzu customers.

Review: 2018 Isuzu D-Max LS 4x4 3.0 Blue Power A/T


There are those who like flaunting their success with outward displays of wealth, while there are others who are equally successful but prefer not to attract any attention. Among the pickup trucks available in the market today, the one that perfectly fits the latter’s description is the Isuzu D-Max. It may not have the same headline grabbing power as some of the other choices out there, but it doesn’t mean it’s less capable. In fact, it’s an honest-to-goodness vehicle that drives and rides very well.
