Timing Gear System
Unlike a timing belt that could snap, timing gear is a lifetime maintenance free feature. It’s totally reliable, and amazingly cost-efficient and hassle-free. Furthermore, double-scissors gears reduce engine noise and vibration.
 
Cylinder Block with Individual Liners
The block liner acts as a protective casing for the pistons, keeping them in pristine condition. This maintains the performance of the vehicle and lowers the costs of overhaul should the need arises.
  Autothermatic Pistons
A feature that’s found only in the D-Max. Made from a special heat durable material - Isuzu’s High Performance Alloy, the pistons don’t expand with heat and won’t come in contact with the walls of the engine. Peak performance is consistent over time.
   
Superb Grade-Abilities
The D-Max has the shortest front overhang which contributes greatly to stunning on-road and off-road agility and handling.
