D-MAX LS-U – I’ve been driving something a little unusual this week. An Isuzu D-Max dual cab tray back Ute. This is a Ute that usually would be used for working, loading bricks or gardening stuff on. 
But as is turns out, we have nothing to do like that this time, so we’ve been using it as an urban daily driver.
The Isuzu D-Max LS-U is the mid spec model. It has cloth seats, manual adjustments, but has an electronic lumbar adjustment for the driver.
The D-Max Ute comes with the full set of safety features. The annoying safety features can be easily turned off. This is by a button on the steering wheel. You can also select if you want the adaptive function activated for cruise control or not.
The central screen has reasonable clarity, but if for some reason the lights are on in daylight it becomes difficult to see.
This is especially obvious with the reversing camera. There is wireless smart phone connectivity, but sadly not wireless charging tray. There is room for it though
Driving the D-Max is easy with the 3.9 litre turbo diesel engine and six speed automatic transmission.
Its powerful enough and economical as well.
The tray back design is designed for heavy loads and without that it does bounce around a bit and it’s a bit noisy. It did make a particularly convenient picnic table though for some takeaway and champers at the beach at sunset one evening.
It does show though that even though it’s a work Ute you can easily live with it on a daily basis.
