Certainly not conventional but practical.</p>
<p>I am renovating my rear garden. Digging out the old sleepers and replacing them with new garden beds. Also making some raised vege patches.</p>
<p>Now the huge tray on the Isuzu SX came in handy.</p>
<p>Having an old back, I’m not fond of bending. The tray was at waist height and large enough to take the full treated sleepers. This allowed me to construct the borders on the back of the tray.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-925" src="https://motoringminute.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/Isuzu-D-Max-SX-SCC-2WD-Ute-tray-1.jpg" alt="Isuzu D-Max SX SCC 2WD Ute tray 1" width="1800" height="1200" srcset="https://motoringminute.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/Isuzu-D-Max-SX-SCC-2WD-Ute-tray-1.jpg 1800w, https://motoringminute.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/Isuzu-D-Max-SX-SCC-2WD-Ute-tray-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https://motoringminute.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/Isuzu-D-Max-SX-SCC-2WD-Ute-tray-1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://motoringminute.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/Isuzu-D-Max-SX-SCC-2WD-Ute-tray-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https://motoringminute.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/Isuzu-D-Max-SX-SCC-2WD-Ute-tray-1-1536x1024.jpg 1536w" sizes="(max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px" /> The sides fold down for easy access.</p>
<p>The sides and the front of the tray form a perfect right angle for setting up the corners of the sleepers.</p>
<p>Not only did this make it so much easier to work, it also made it more accurate. On top of that it was faster, not having to get up and down all the time. My knees and back were extremely thankful.</p>
<p>Using the Isuzu D-Max SX Ute like this shows just how beneficial having a Ute can be.</p>
<p>Isuzu D-Max SX 2 Door 2WD 1.9L Ute is currently priced from $31,990 drive away</p>

<h3><strong>Also look at:</strong></h3>
<p>There are not many Single Cab Cassis work Utes on the market at the moment Dual Cab 4WD Utes are popular. There are a few on the market but everyone is aiming upmarket. Even getting our hands on some to test is difficult.</p>
<p>Buyers could look at <span style="color: #00ccff;"><strong><a style="color: #00ccff;" href="https://uteandvanguide.com.au/brand-new-mazda-bt-50-expands-its-offering-to-a-wider-range-of-ute-buyers/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mazda BT-50</a>, <a style="color: #00ccff;" href="https://uteandvanguide.com.au/toyota-upgrades-the-hilux-workmate-and-sr-utes/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Toyota HiLux</a>, <a style="color: #00ccff;" href="https://www.anyauto.com.au/ford-ranger-pricing-for-2023-50my-updates/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ford Ranger</a>, Mitsubishi Triton.</strong></span></p>
<h2>Isuzu D-Max SX Final thoughts</h2>
<p>Single Cab Chassis Work Utes are becoming a rare breed, with the push towards the premium end of dual cab’s.</p>
<p>While I always prefer more power and torque, the 1.9L diesel performed more than adequately.</p>
<p>It was ideal for around town work and cruised easily on the freeway.</p>
<p>You cant beat the price though. Its awesome value for money.</p>
