The benefits are fewer shifts, easier hill climbing and off road driveability. A new five speed auto is available. I managed to put the new KB through its paces at the Thornybush Game Lodge near Hoedspruit in Limpopo. The guys at Isuzu are well versed in 4x. In short, the KB lived up to its reputation and then some. The ride was great, while not exactly class leading, in the bush. Its still a very competent off roader in 4x. The bakkie is able to absorb large bumps and undulations and grips well through corners. Excel Vba Userform Examples Free Download more. On the tar theres still some minor rattles from the previous generation but overall, despite being more at home in the bush, the truck is comfortable driving through cities and urban areas. The on the fly mode selector worked well though the flashing warning when the diff lock disengages can be confusing to the uninitiated. BIGGER, MORE PRACTICALThe all new Isuzu KB Extended Cab models offer increased interior space via its Flex Doors. The rear opening extra doors have an interlock that prevents them from being opened unless the front door is opened first. Recover Overwritten Notepad Files.

R1. 7 AT tyres. INSIDEApart from the Spartan feel of the Base models the higher specced LX and LE have great interiorsfor a bakkie that is. The interior has more than a passing resemblance to Chevrolets products as KB was developed in conjunction with Chevrolet Trailblazer. You get the sense that Isuzu wants to tap into the lifestyle market with its upgraded trim, dials and centre console, its a vast improvement though not quite  as executive cab as that of the Volkswagen Amarok or Ford Ranger. Isuzu owners are much like their bakkies theyre tough, hardworking and doggedly loyal. A family friend of mine owns a fifth generation Isuzu bakkie. He uses his bakkie as his workhorse for his business in  Paarl but also as his daily driverhis venerable bakkie was even used to kart around his kids for their Matric ball. He swears by his Isuzu bakkie currently over 3. Why should I buy a new bakkie In all the years Ive had it nothing ever broke. It works well and thats the point. OVERALLThe new bakkie looks good, is incredibly capable off road and fulfill the role of utilitarian workhorse with aplomb. What about its rivals The Isuzu faces the SA bakkie sales dominating Toyota Hilux, Amarok and Fords hit Ranger. Judging by our Readers Car of the Year poll, the Ranger was the clear favourite amongst new bakkies and new models launched in 2. The KB may not trump the Ranger in terms of looks but it does have a higher towing capacity and depending on the spec works out to be cheaper. Its clear the Isuzu has its work cut out for it as the sixth generation spear heads General Motors SA exports in Sub Saharan Africa. You cant argue with its built tough off road prowess but I dont think the Isuzu has managed to fit into the lifestyle vehicle segment as easily as the Ranger or Mazdas BT 5. The new Isuzu carries on its rugged nation building reputation with a model that big, bold and ready to be put to work. PRICESDIESELSingle Cab. Isuzu KB 2. 50 D Teq R2.
