2017 ISUZU UTE D-MAX LST AUTO AWD DIESEL UTE / PICKUP 2999cc 130kw 6sp 4cyl 4dr 5seat
This Is Not Just Another Dual-cab Ute. This Is The 2017 Team Isuzu D-MAX “Concept X” — A Genuine Concept Vehicle Developed In Australia As A Showcase Of What The D-MAX Platform Could Become When Pushed To The Extreme. Built As Part Of Team Isuzu’s Precision Driving And Engineering Program, The Concept X Was Created To Demonstrate Isuzu’s Truck DNA, Off-road Durability And The Possibilities Of Bespoke Fabrication. Vehicles Like This Are Normally Built To Tour Shows And Exhibitions, Not To Be Privately Owned — Making This A Rare Opportunity To Secure A True One-off Piece Of Australian Automotive History. Isuzu D?MAX Concept X
At Its Core, The Concept X Began Life As A Flagship LS-T Specification D-MAX, But Almost Everything You See Externally And Mechanically Was Re-engineered From The Ground Up. Rather Than Simply Bolting On Aftermarket Accessories, The Builders Designed And Fabricated The Majority Of Components In-house Over The Course Of An Extensive Development Program. The Guards, Bonnet, Bullbar, Suspension And Even Structural Modifications Were Custom Built Specifically For This Concept Vehicle — Resulting In A Machine That Looks Like It Has Driven Straight Out Of A Factory Skunkworks Project Rather Than An Aftermarket Workshop.
The Stance Alone Tells The Story. Sitting On Enormous 38-inch Toyo Open Country Mud-terrain Tyres, The Concept X Is Widely Believed To Wear The Largest Rubber Ever Fitted To An Isuzu Passenger Vehicle. The Suspension System Was Completely Redesigned, Incorporating Remote-reservoir Shocks And A Dramatic Seven-inch Lift That Transforms The Vehicle’s Capability And Presence. Combined With Custom Engineering Underneath, The Truck Achieves Serious Off-road Geometry With Approach And Departure Angles Of Around 50 Degrees And 38 Degrees Respectively, Placing It Firmly In The Territory Of Purpose-built Off-road Machines Rather Than Production Utes.
Under The Skin, The Engineering Work Is Equally Impressive. The Rear Leaf Springs Were Replaced With A Custom MU-X-style Five-link Coil-spring Setup, Dramatically Improving Articulation And Suspension Control For Extreme Terrain. The Braking System Was Also Upgraded To A Serious Motorsport-style Configuration, Featuring Large Multi-piston Callipers And Oversized Floating Discs Designed To Match The Vehicle’s Massive Wheels And Performance Envelope.
The Concept X Also Showcases Functional Design Rather Than Show-car Gimmicks. Integrated Front And Rear Winches, A Fully Custom Alloy Tray, And Dedicated Storage For Spare Wheels And Fuel Containers Demonstrate That The Build Was Intended To Handle Serious Off-road Use And Demanding Demonstrations By Team Isuzu. It’s A Vehicle That Blends Concept-car Creativity With Genuine Mechanical Capability — Something Rarely Seen In Manufacturer-backed Builds.
Importantly, While The Exterior And Underpinnings Were Radically Transformed, The Vehicle Retains The Proven And Highly Respected Isuzu Drivetrain. Power Comes From The Legendary 3.0-litre Turbo-diesel Engine Paired With A Six-speed Automatic Transmission — An Engine Widely Known For Durability And Torque. In The Concept X Program, The Drivetrain Remained Largely Untouched Aside From Minor Tuning Such As Exhaust Refinement, Highlighting The Strength Of The Standard D-MAX Platform.
Inside, The Cabin Maintains The Premium LS-T Level Interior, Offering Comfort And Practicality While The Exterior Delivers The Theatre And Engineering Drama. This Contrast Is Part Of The Concept X Appeal — It Drives Like A Proper Isuzu, But Looks Like Nothing Else On The Road.
Vehicles Like This Almost Never Reach The Open Market. The Concept X Models Were Built Primarily For Display, Promotional Events And Public Appearances, Allowing Enthusiasts To See The Extreme Potential Of The D-MAX Platform. As A Result, The Opportunity To Purchase One Is Exceptionally Rare. In Collector Terms, This Is Closer To Owning A Manufacturer Concept Or Prototype Than Simply Buying A Modified Ute.
For The Right Buyer — Whether A Serious Isuzu Enthusiast, Collector Of Unique Australian Vehicles, Or Someone Wanting The Most Talked-about D-MAX Ever Built — This Represents Something Special. It’s Not Just A Vehicle You Park In The Garage; It’s A Piece Of Automotive Storytelling, A Crowd-stopper At Any Event, And Arguably One Of The Most Distinctive Isuzu Builds Ever Created.
If You’re Looking For Something That Stands Apart From Every Other D-MAX On The Road — This Is It. Not A Replica, Not A Tribute, And Not Another Modified Ute.
This Is The Original Concept X.
