The Isuzu D-MAX was built to the kind of durability standards that ensure you'll never have to worry about it. A newly designed body boasts double-sided galvanised steel sheets for high-rigidity in really rough conditions, plus enhanced collision protection and reduced cabin noise for improved ride comfort. The high-performance full frame with large side-members minimises torsional distortion, further increasing safety and durability.

The Isuzu D-MAX's suspension systems feature optimised proportions of safe, all-round handling accuracy and smooth, quiet driving comfort. The front suspension of 2WD models uses double wishbones with coil springs for level ride comfort. 4WD models team double wishbones with torsion-bar springs, for superb grip and stable performance on tough surfaces. All models feature a rigid elliptical leaf-spring rear suspension for increased durability regardless of driving conditions.

Highly accurate steering contributes to driver comfort as well as overall safety. Isuzu D-MAX's rack-and-pinion system precisely responds, offering drivers a more positive, direct, and sporty steering feel. In addition, its simplified design is lighter in weight and occupies less space than the ball-and-nut steering systems equipped on much of the competition.

High ground clearance helps protect the underbody from damage in rough off-road conditions.

High approach and departure angles enable smooth passage over most obstacles.

The Isuzu D-MAX can safely be driven laterally on slopes of up to 49 degrees.
