Playing to D Max
As regular readers will know, when I’m invited on a new vehicle launch within the UK, I like to check Trailwise 2 and search for any local green lanes in the vicinity that I can explore, and with the northern launch of the new D-Max being just outside Buxton, I had plenty of lanes to choose from. When it comes to 4x4 launches, manufacturers like to organise a challenging off-road course as well as a decent road route, and for the new D-Max the Isuzu team had created a fairly challenging off-road course around a quarry, as you can read about in May’s issue. However, I wanted to give it a realworld sort of test, so when it was time to take it out on the open road, I grabbed the keys for the basic single cab D-Max and went off in search of TW2 reference, SK0171-03 or Macclesfield Old Road as it’s also known as. 90
