The Isuzu D-Max recently sipped its way into the record books when all three units drove an astonishing 2,000 km without refuelling their 76-litre tank! Isuzu Malaysia’s Dura Miles Challenge tested the capabilities of three units – the 1.9-litre 4x2 Auto Plus, the best-selling 1.9-litre 4x4 Auto Premium and the sophisticated top-of-the-line 3.0-litre 4x4 X-Terrain by driving them from the central Thai town of Phitsanulok, approximately 300 km north of Bangkok to Klang, Selangor.

An industry first, the programme i

It looks like the Isuzu D-Max is not at risk of being upstaged by its sister-car the Mazda BT-50, as the D-Max will be launched in Malaysia ahead of the BT-50. WapCar.my understands that there is a direction by Mazda Motor for its overseas distributors to show respect to its partner Isuzu by granting Isuzu the privilege of launching the D-Max first. In Australia, the first export market for the all-new D-Max, Mazda Australia had intentionally delayed the launch of the BT-50 there by one month, a

Last week, we reported that Ford is working together with Volkswagen to develop the next-generation Ranger and Amarok, which are set to debut in late-2022. Apart from the technical bits, renders of the new 2022 Ford Ranger have surfaced. These renders, according to the source, are based on Ford’s final clay model of both the Ranger and Everest, which could be indicative of how the duo could look like. In fact, a leaked photo from another publication gives us a glimpse at the new model. Right off

With pick-up truck prices creeping up over the years, Mitsubishi Motors Malaysia has lowered the entry price to own a new pick-up truck with the 2020 Mitsubishi Triton Quest. At RM 79,890, the Triton Quest is the most affordable pick-up truck in Malaysia and it’s aimed at small business owners/commercial users. The Triton Quest is powered by a 2.5-litre turbo-diesel making 110 PS and 200 Nm of torque. It loses out on the higher range Triton’s 2.4-litre aluminium block MIVEC engine that makes 181
