Isuzu D-MAX Boondock 2019 comebacks with tougher look than ever!

At the 2019 Commercial Vehicle Show, Isuzu showcased their D-MAX XTR for the UK auto market and if you read the article, you’d know that it is indeed a special edition D-MAX with a lot of upgrades that make the vehicle tougher and more capable for off-roading.

Meanwhile here in the Philippines, D-Max fans and Isuzu fans, in general, will be glad to know that Isuzu has decided to bring to us, or rather return to us the Isuzu D-MAX Boondock 2019.

While not exactly new, the Boondock designation for the Isuzu D-Max way back in 2010 had a lot of upgrades done to its looks which sets it apart from the regular old first generation Isuzu truck.

Now based on the second generation D-Max, the Boondock edition might well be the best version of the D-Max as it comes with even more appearance upgrades as well as off-road oriented parts.

1. Isuzu D-MAX Boondock 2019: Exterior

For the outside part of the D-MAX Boondock, Isuzu gave it larger fender flares, a cool set of sturdy, beefy step boards along its sides, a bed liner, and of course a different looking set of roof rails. Aside from those the Boondock also has a cargo height extender for hauling extra-tall stuff.

According to the latest car news, aside from looking really good, the Boondock actually comes with a lot of practicality in mind and will be useful for a number of applications besides being a fun vehicle.

Apart from those listed above, the special version of Isuzu D-Max 2019 is also able to better handle rough terrain as it comes with performance shock absorbers that raise the truck’s ground clearance up to 247 mm. Its abilities for off-roading is also made better by the 265/70R17 tires and 17-inch allow wheels it comes with.

Under the hood, the new 2019 D-MAX Boondock will come with the 3.0 liter 4JJ1-TXC Blue Power engine rated to make 177 horsepower and 380 Nm of torque. With those figures, the Boondock is one major option when choosing a truck with towing in mind.

Isuzu is yet to reveal details regarding the special edition truck’s transmission and we sure do hope that both a manual and an automatic will be made available.

3. Isuzu D-MAX Boondock 2019: Interior

As for the D-Max Boondock’s interior, we don’t know yet what Isuzu has changed or added to the vehicle. What we can speculate however is that it might be very similar to what’s inside from either the D-Max X-Series or with the currently available, top of the line D-Max 3.0 LS 4x4.

For those who want to shoot for the moon though, we can also hope that the new Boondock’s interior will also get the same kind of love that the UK’s D-MAX XTR has gotten.

The interior of the D-Max Boondock will presumably on par or even better than the normal D-Max's top of the line model

Despite the Isuzu D-MAX Boondock 2019's price is still unknown exactly, dealerships of Isuzu Philippines are already accepting bookings. It is however evident that Isuzu will be treating the Boondock D-Max as a flagship vehicle so we might be looking at 1,700,000 and above as a reasonable estimate.

The Isuzu D-Max Boondock edition is slated to launch sometime this month so we might get more details regarding the awesome vehicle in the coming weeks.
