Adding to it's aggressive look, are the headlights. The DRLS in the headlights, give the fascia of a similar mean look, that reminds those of us who remember the "BAD BOY" decals we would stick on our rear windshields in the late 80's to mid 90's. Along with it's double fanged grill, it makes for one tough looking truck. In fact, that BAD BOY decal could be revived as a fitting body decal graphic for the top spec model. It has my vote...

I was surprised at the poor response from the traction control. I have a 2012 Toyota and the Atrac on that is excellent. It’s odd that Isuzu would put out a brand new 4wd with such a bad system.

@Jez3134 3 жыл бұрын

If he had just used a little bit of brake pedal to stop the front spinning he would have been out of there in the next 5 seconds without the diff lock. I'm guessing he wanted to emphasise "oh no.. I'm stuck" That' all the other systems do, sends more brakes to that corner to send power the opposite side.

Sorry to disappoint Sam but the guys at 4WD 24/7 have said it, the Strada(Triton) is the better all-round off-roader among the bunch. Time to accept that the Hilux is quite overrated already when it comes to off-road capability and overshadows how the Mitsubishi Strada can already outshine the Hilux.

Jeremy yes I know I’m sort of joking, I’ve actually got a 2WD single cab chassis, it would be nice to to have a little more torque and at lower revs but one of the attractions to what I bought other than the engine was the basic dashboard with few electronics to go wrong years down the track as I intend to keep it for a long time.
