The Isuzu D-MAX has a reputation for reliability and toughness, with the ability to take passengers and cargo across extreme terrain. It is durable enough to last a long time and many owners do keep their D-MAX trucks for many years. New trucks may come along but they come to rely on their trusty D-MAX which gets their jobs done.

One owner has kept his D-MAX for 8 years and in that time, it has covered an astounding 351,364 miles (565,465 kms). Those are just 6 digits but to have an idea of just how far the truck has travelled, it is a distance equal to 14 times round our planet. Or to put it another way, it could have travelled to the moon and be halfway back to Earth, having covered an average of 43,750 miles (70,408 kms) per year.

After the dip in deliveries last month, the Total Industry Volume (TIV) picked up again during November, increasing by 6% over October’s number to end at 64,404 units of passenger cars and commercial vehicles.

Of the 64,404 units, 89% of the vehicles delivered were passenger cars (excluding pick-up trucks), an increase over the volume in October as the assembly plants were able to complete more vehicles.

Comparing to the same month in 2021, the TIV in 2022 was 7% higher, with the variance for commercial vehicles (including pick-up trucks) being 11% greater.
