📸[PICTURES] While double cabs rate as the euphonious bodystyle when it comes to bakkies, the new Isuzu D-Max Extended Cab presents better than a double cab. Read all about it: IsizuDMax IsuzuDMaxtended MotoringNews Motoring MotoringWorld.

Unsurprisingly, the Extended Cab wasn’t subjected to the same treatment, however, as with the double cab, it did surprise on technical front, which we will get to later.As much as bakkies have become all about leisure and less about work, an element of old-school nostalgia surrounds the Extended Cab when viewed on first glance.

such as the nine-inch touchscreen infotainment system, the easy to decipher dual-zone climate control, multi-function steering wheel, split glove box, a storage cubby on top of the dashboard and cupholders that double up as coin trays below the air vents., a few lingering traces of previous D-Max prevails in the feel of some of the plastics, with the piano-key black centre console feeling especially cheap.

Despite the loadbox being shorter than that of the single cab – 1 805 mm vs 2 330 mm – it still betters the 1 495 mm of the double cab. Compared to the double cab LSE, payload is rated at 1 005 kg versus 995 kg with no single cab equivalent being offered.As with the double cab, the Extended Cab has a towing capacity of 3 500 kg for a braked trailer, wading depth of 800mm and in the case of the LSE, a handy 232 mm of ground clearance.

Bar a tiny bit of low-down turbo-lag, the engine pulls and feels more substantial from a power and torque perspective than what the figures suggest.
