Isuzu Philippines has quietly reshuffled its D-Max pickup truck line-up which sees the addition of two additional variants as well as the discontinuation others. Either way, this should please manual transmission enthusiasts as both the new variants come with a three-pedal set-up.
Would-be owners of the LS-A 4x4 get the bi-LED headlamps—a feature that used to be exclusive to the top-of-the-line 3.0 LS-E. It also happens to get the same styling cues as the top-dog D-Max such as the gun metallic radiator grille, matte gray 18-inch alloy wheels, a load-bearing roof rail, and a bed liner.
Inside, the 3.0 LS-A 4x4 stays close to the previous LS variant in that it gets a urethane steering wheel, fabric seats, and a manual air conditioner. On the other end, there’s the single cab version of the D-Max 4x4. Compared to the single cab 4x2, this version gets thicker wheels and a “high-riding” suspension. This ups the ground clearance to 220 mm or 25 mm higher than the single cab 4x2 and just 20 mm shy of the top-of-the-line LS-E.
