Your family has packed their bags for a desert safari and fishing trip in the Namib, which car do you take? OK, what if the roads are in a really terrible state? Right, one more thing. You’re allergic to Toyotas. Once you’ve managed to forget about the brilliant Pajero Sport, I would recommend this new Mucks.

Padtoets: 2019 Isuzu MU-X 3.0 4×2
Isuzu roep die troepe
As dit by voertuie kom, is daar maar nou net een baie sterk neiging in die Suider-Afrikaanse mark tydens die afgelope paar jare (of eintlik dekades). Meeste van ons soek ‘n gemaklike, veilige en praktiese voertuig vir die langpad. Nog meer, is ons selfs meer in ons nappies as die voertuig ‘n kamp sleepwa, karavaan of boot kan sleep.
Isuzu Arctic AT 35 is The Toughest D-Max Thus Far
PORT ELIZABETH – Isuzu Motors South Africa (IMSAF) has expanded its bakkie offering with the addition of an exclusive new flagship model aimed at avid off-roaders, professionals who need to travel to inaccessible places, and city dwellers looking to make a bold statement.
Sprint Review: Isuzu D-Max 3.0TD Double Cab 4×4 LX
The Isuzu KB bakkie range is dead, long live the new D-Max series! (it’s basically the same…)
What you need to know: Although yours truly isn’t the biggest bakkie fan, someone thought it funny to bring us a whole string of Isuzu pick-ups to test. Starting with KB250 double cabs over “X Rider” 4×2 and 4×4 models, this D-Max denotes the new-and-improved product onslaught from the Japanese commercial vehicle manufacturer.
Langtermyntoets: Isuzu KB250 X-Rider 2×4
Om ‘n langtermyngebruik artikel oor ‘n voertuig te skryf, is ietwat anders as ons gewone “een-week” rubrieke. Anders as om net krities na ‘n voertuig te kyk, word hierdie geleende voertuig soos ‘n tydelike besitting. Een waarmee daar ‘n band gevorm kan word.
Long-term test: 2017 Isuzu KB 250 D-Teq double cab X-Rider
The complete poser
Golden geese, gift horses and hands that feed – surely you are familiar with these sayings? That’s as diplomatic as I can be about our latest long-term test vehicle, a bright red Isuzu KB X-Rider double cab bakkie which most of us at NamWheels drove over the festive season 2017 / 2018.
Top 5: Cars of the Year 2016
So here’s something different. Each year we list our favourite new cars which were launched over the last 12 months but this time around, instead of us telling you which ones we liked, our Facebook page invited YOU to vote your favourite new ride of 2016.
The list of candidates was chosen from the launches we attended or vehicles we thought were brilliant newcomers and worthy of being included in this line-up.
Launched: Isuzu KB Update
Eager show off its updated KB, Isuzu invited us for a launch in the Namib!

General Motors South Africa were kind enough to take a handful of motoring journalists into the dunes of the Namib for two days to sample the all new Isuzu KB300 to see ho wit stacks up against not only the competition, but its older brother.
Tested: Isuzu KB250 4×4 LE
Isuzu spruced up its KB range – we test the KB250 4×4 Double Cab.

Bakkies are hugely popular in this country, just like “UTEs” in Australia and “trucks” in Yankeeland, and Namibians have a vast choice of brands and models in 4×2 or 4×4, single or double cab guises to pick a load-carrying chariot of their choice.
Sprint Review: Isuzu KB 3.0 D-Tec 4×4
One new car, lots of information
As a city kid that was transplanted to a farm at the tender age of 10, a bakkie has always held a certain kind of magical fascination for me. I think it stems from those early days of embracing farm life on a massive estate that mixed dairy, sheep, fruit and grape farming into one fabulous whole and which was managed by friendly farm managers who didn’t mind nosy kids tagging along for a ride on the back of their sturdy farm bakkies.
