Isuzu has always been focused on heavy trucks and pickups mostly with diesel engine. Their presence is represented here with their largest selling N-Series trucks, the heavy tonnage F-Series trucks and the tough and trustworthy D-Max pickups. Their diesel expertise is acknowledged, especially with another automobile major recently asking them to give input into their award winning engine. Incidentally, earlier another major brand of diesel engine pickup had also used Isuzu oil burners in their systems…so that itself is another feather in the hat for Isuzu.

The D-MAX comes with a 3.0-litre direct-injection intercooler turbo diesel engine which produces 280 Nm of torque. The engine makes 130 PS of power at 3800 RPM. The D-Max comes in manual 4x4 and 4x2 transmissions. In other words, it is the ideal machine that’s great in looks and excellent in performance…both for business and for family purposes. As is famous in the Sultanate, Isuzu D-Max has the unique advantage of being a successful pickup both for work and for pleasure driving.

The D-MAX has a nice cabin interior similar to sedans. It’s pretty spacious and comfortable and can be easily used for both domestic as well as commercial purposes as is seen commonly in the Sultanate.

Other hit features are the ABS, EBD, and an LSD differential and optional dual airbags. What’s more…? The pickup comes with 16-inch alloy rims with 245/70/R16 tyres and can be driven laterally on slopes up to 49 degrees.

Globally speaking, Isuzu D-MAX owns a big share of the market in Thailand (World’s Largest Pickup Market), battling out the pickup wars there against other brands and coming out victorious time and again. Going by the look of things and by the quality standards it offers, the D-Max has the potential for it to be a big thing here in the Oman market too.

Today, even as you read this article, Isuzu D-Max continues to be one of the biggest and most popular brands in Thailand…and can easily be referred to as on of the pickup market’s largest selling diesel engine…that’s now also available in Petrol.

With the onset of 2007, Isuzu Oman has bounced up with double vigour by re-launching their Petrol Pickups…The main reasons for this are its ‘highest fuel efficiency’ in its class and ‘best maintenance’ factors that are seen to be influencing customers in the Sultanate a lot in recent times.

The new and sleek looking Petrol D-Max pickups come in a variety of bright colours to suit to varied tastes of users from different economic backgrounds. Isuzu D-Max has done it in the past and achieved large sales even in the interiors of Oman and now with the Petrol Pickups back on the roads; it’s only going to be a bigger story with better road share. Within just weeks of being re-introduced, the Petrol D-Max is fast gaining ground and becoming talk of town. Watch this space for more on the D-Max Petrol Version or just call Toll Free 800 77007.
