]]> Isuzu D-MAX Tour Mate  I’ve just finished driving an Isuzu D-Max LS-U+ TOUR MATE. This is an option package you can add to either the LS-U pr LS-U plus D-Max and get an overall saving of more than $6,000.

2025 Isuzu D-Max Tour Mate front quarter 1  The D-Max is a popular towing vehicle. It has a 3.0L turbo diesel engine with 145kW of power and 450Nm of torque that comes in at a low 1600rpm. This mated to a robust 6Sp Aisin AT makes it an ideal towing vehicle. It will also easily tow 3500 kg.

Its one of my favourite towing vehicles.

The package includes:

  • a tow bar tongue and 50mm ball,
  • 12-pin wiring harness,
  • electric brake controller,
  • Clearview extendable heated and power-fold compact towing mirrors,
  • a canopy with dual lift-upside windows,
  • slimline weather shields, and
  • unique TOUR MATE badging.

This is a well thought out package. Many vans these days have 12 pin wiring, and every tow vehicle needs an electronic brake controller. Every Isuzu D-Max comes with  genuine tow hitch as well.

The Clearview extendable mirrors are the best on the market. The canopy looks great and adds another dimension for load carrying. Also going old school with the slim line window shields is a clever touch.

This is definitely a package that is worth looking at for prospective towers.
