Specialist quality ute distributor
Isuzu UTE Australia marks the second year of local
sales of its Isuzu D-MAX one-tonne ute and cab/chassis
range with a high-spec Limited Edition II 4x4
crew cab ute.
Like last year’s D-MAX ‘Pearler’,
this year’s ‘LE II’ is a real limited
edition at just 180 units.
Two new and exclusive pearlescent mica exterior
colours are offered, 140 in Lunar White and 40
in Solar Bronze.
Based on the best-equipped and most popular D-MAX—
the LS-U 4x4 crew cab ute, LE II comes equipped
with around $9,000 retail value worth of unique
features and accessories for only around $5,000
over LS-U typical pricing. Automatic and manual
LE IIs are offered.
LE II’s premium unique feature is its Kenwood
touch-screen hi-fi head unit with Garmin®
SatNav, reversing camera view, DVD, USB and iPod®
/iPhone® and Bluetooth® connectivity,
as well as CD/FM/AM audio with AAC/MP3/WMA compatibility,
played through LE II’s six speakers. The
unit integrates a DFS (Detachable Face Security)
and includes remote control.
LE II’s exclusive exterior colours extend
to its special styled side steps which also integrate
polished aluminium step inserts with rubber grip
stipples.
Approximately half of the LE IIs will feature
silver-stitched Charcoal Italian leather trim
on seats—with the front backrests monogrammed,
door trim inserts and the centre console padded
elbow rest. This extra luxury adds a very moderate
$2400 to LE II’s price.
Also inside there’s branded polished aluminum
door sill scuff plates and custom carpet mats—the
front pair monogrammed.
Other exterior LE II features include a lockable
hard tonneau and chrome nudge and sports bars,
bonnet protector, fog light recess bezels and
taillight guards.
‘Limited Edition II’ badging on the
tub rear flanks and an ‘LE II’ graphic
integrated into custom striping on the lower doors
denote the model.
All LE IIs are otherwise well-kitted with standard
air-conditioning, ABS with EBD, dual airbags,
fold-in power door mirrors with turn indicators,
cruise, projector headlights, remote entry, electric
windows with one-touch driver’s glass up
and down, dual-bin padded centre console, electro-luminescent
instrument display, rear LSD, lockable tailgate,
rubber tub floor mat, chrome rear step bumper
and alloy wheels including the spare.
Being solely 4x4, LE II is kitted with D-MAX’s
4x4 package of three-tonne maximum tow capacity,
high-ride suspension, high 225mm ground clearance
despite underslung rear springs and consequently
lower loading height, ultra-low low-range crawler
first gear with anti-stall, steel plate sump and
transfer case guards, fuel tank shield, wide track
16”x7” wheels with meaty 245/70 tyres
and wheel arch flares, plus push-button dash controls
for 2WD/4WD/low range selection and shift-on-the-fly
up to 100 km/h between 2WD and 4WD High.
With turbo-diesel D-MAX‘s famed fuel economy
and three litres of under-stressed torque, LE
II manual can lug over 900kg including occupants
and their gear.
“Last year’s ‘Pearler’ limited
edition D-MAX was very well received so we’ve
sweetened this year’s special edition with
some even greater value unique elements at very
reasonable cost,” said IUA’s general
manager of sales Paul Vuko.
Distributor indicative retail pricing for the
manual Isuzu D-MAX Limited Edition II without
leather trim is from $47,300 excluding on-road
costs which will vary according to area, dealer
