| Pros | Cons |

Quick Summary
The Isuzu D-Max (2021-present) is a third-generation pickup truck that has arrived at an opportune moment, with many competitors withdrawing from the UK market. This generation represents a significant step forward, offering improved comfort and refinement whilst maintaining its reputation as a capable workhorse. Available in three body styles—single cab, extended cab, and double cab—it caters to both commercial users and lifestyle customers seeking a versatile vehicle. The cabin is notably more car-like than previous generations, featuring soft-touch plastics, snug seats with substantial side bolsters, and touchscreen infotainment systems on higher-spec models with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity.
Powered by a 1.9-litre four-cylinder diesel engine producing 162bhp, the D-Max delivers decent low-down torque and is available with either a six-speed manual or automatic gearbox. All models except the entry-level Utility feature four-wheel drive with impressive off-road capability, including hill descent control and wading depths up to 800mm. Most versions offer a 3.5-tonne towing capacity, making it genuinely practical for work and leisure. Running costs are reasonable for a pickup, with official combined fuel economy between 30.7 and 33.6mpg, whilst fixed Vehicle Excise Duty stands at £265 annually. A wide choice of trims and body styles ensures there's a D-Max for most needs, from pure working machines to comfortable lifestyle vehicles.
Best for: Commercial users and lifestyle customers seeking a capable, comfortable pickup truck with excellent practicality and versatility, and those wanting an alternative to traditional SUVs with favourable company car tax rates.
Not ideal for: Buyers prioritising fuel economy comparable to SUVs, those seeking the lowest insurance premiums, or those requiring the highest towing capacity on entry-level models.

The Verdict
You should buy the D-Max if: You're a commercial user or lifestyle customer seeking a capable, comfortable pickup truck with excellent practicality and versatility, or looking for an alternative to traditional SUVs with favourable company car tax rates.
Consider alternatives if: You prioritise fuel economy comparable to SUVs, seek the lowest insurance premiums, or require the highest towing capacity on entry-level models.
Competitive Position: The Isuzu D-Max (2021-present) is a strong contender in the pickup market, arriving at an opportune moment as competitors withdraw from the UK. It offers excellent value and capability compared to the Toyota Hilux and Ford Ranger, with a more car-like cabin and impressive creature comforts for lifestyle customers. Whilst the Hilux has a slightly higher percentage of good deals available and the Ford Ranger offers a marginally higher overall rating, the D-Max delivers genuine versatility, outstanding safety credentials, and a compelling package for both commercial and leisure use. Its combination of practicality, comfort, and reasonable pricing makes it a highly worthy choice in an increasingly limited market.

4.8 Overall rating
(4 reviews)The Isuzu is very reliable but it tends to have steering and suspension problems with age. Comparable pickups are the Ford Ranger and Toyota Hilux.
It’s the ideal compromise for me between farming and construction delivering comfort and power for towing. The only thing I don’t like is the fact I have to disable the lane support every time I start.
Its reliable and sturdy and has good resale value.
Base model but does what it Says on the tin, real work horse with few frills. Great towing ability.
