Isuzu D-MAX X-Rider 4WD Dual Cab Ute driven for 2025

What is the Isuzu D-Max X-Rider really like

Isuzu D-MAX X-Rider – For the last few weeks I’ve been driving an Isuzu D-MAX Ute. But not the top of the range with all the extras, rather the X-Rider. This is based on the LS-M model with additional bling highlights

They all come with wireless connectivity for smart phones and all have height and reach adjustments for the steering wheel

So the basics are covered. The X-Rider comes with:

  • A soft cover and sports bar for the tub
  • 10 inch infotainment system
  • Black exterior and interior highlights

The fabric seats appear hard wearing, but the manual adjustment means that it’s a little difficult to find a really comfortable position.

The Ute I drove comes with the 3.0 litre 4 cylinder turbo diesel engine and a reliable 6 speed automatic transmission. Of course, dual range 4WD and a 3500 kg towing capacity.

The X-Rider comes with the upgraded rear springs that allows better payload with a slightly softer on road ride when unladen. Slightly is the key word here.

Priced at $59,500 plus the usual costs, the Isuzu D-MAX X-Rider is great value as you would expect from Isuzu
