										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>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</strong></p>
<p><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-3455" src="https://motoringminute.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/Isuzu-D-Max-X-Rider-front-quarter-1.jpg" sizes="(max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px" srcset="https://motoringminute.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/Isuzu-D-Max-X-Rider-front-quarter-1.jpg 1500w, https://motoringminute.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/Isuzu-D-Max-X-Rider-front-quarter-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https://motoringminute.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/Isuzu-D-Max-X-Rider-front-quarter-1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://motoringminute.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/Isuzu-D-Max-X-Rider-front-quarter-1-768x512.jpg 768w" alt="Isuzu D-Max X-Rider front quarter 1" width="1500" height="1000" />The thing I really like about Isuzu Utes is that they all come with the full set of safety features, right from the entry level model through to the top model.</p>
<p>They all come with wireless connectivity for smart phones and all have height and reach adjustments for the steering wheel</p>
<p>So the basics are covered. The X-Rider comes with:</p>
<ul>
<li>A soft cover and sports bar for the tub</li>
<li>10 inch infotainment system</li>
<li>Black exterior and interior highlights</li>
</ul>
<p>The fabric seats appear hard wearing, but the manual adjustment means that it’s a little difficult to find a really comfortable position.</p>

<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Priced at $59,500 plus the usual costs, the <span style="color: #ff0000;"><a style="color: #ff0000;" href="https://www.uteguide.com.au/isuzu-2024-d-max-updates-everything-you-need-to-know/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Isuzu D-MAX X-Rider</a></span> is great value as you would expect from Isuzu</p>
