I’ve just spent a week in the latest Isuzu D-MAX X-TERRAIN, which is the top model of the D-MAX range with premium features, comfort and advanced safety and connectivity technology.

Improvements to the reliable 3.0l turbo diesel engine mean smoother driving and better economy. D-MAX has always been a strong off road performer as well as an excellent tow vehicle for caravans, boats or horse floats etc.

X-Terrain is priced from only $63,900 plus the usual costs it should be on everyone list for a premium Dual Cab Ute. Check the local dealer for drive away pricing.

Having previously lived at the top of corporate life he retired in 2000 and hasn’t put a suit and tie on since. Cars are his passion so why not have a business doing what you love he figures.
