The perfect pickup truck for the avid hunter
First introduced in 2017, the Huntsman Accessory Pack is Isuzu’s way of coaxing those who enjoy shooting and hunting to get themselves a D-Max. Now, the Japanese automaker has launched the latest version of the package, which is available exclusively in the UK on all D-Max Double Cab models.
Priced at £5,825 (RM33,540 approx), the 2021 Huntsman Accessory Pack adds a range of addenda that makes the life of a so called huntsman or countryman a lot easier. These include an Aeroklas E-Tronic commercial canopy in body colour, an aluminium bed draw system that provides easy organization and a rubber floor trays for easier cleaning.
Made of ABS plastic, the canopy has blank sides and comes with tinted rear doors, interior light, brake light and a sliding bulkhead window for ventilation. It can be equipped with roof rails with a load capacity of 80 kg. The bed draw system, meanwhile, features two drawers and two storage compartments which are all lockable.
Thanks to a new tow bar with 13-pins electrics and the existing Sway Detection system fitted on all 4X4 models, the D-Max equipped with the Huntsman Accessory Pack is capable of towing up to 3.5 tonnes.
Finally, for that price, customers will also get 18-inch black alloy wheels shod with all-terrain tyres from Pirelli, side steps, an under rail bed liner kit made of premium grade high density polyethylene, as well as Tailgate Assist and a tailgate locking kit. Unlike before, however, the new Huntsman Accessory Pack doesn’t seem to include a suspension upgrade.
According to Isuzu, the Huntsman Pack can be bought at the same time as purchasing the D-Max, allowing for customers to have the accessory pack fixed onto the vehicle upon receiving it.
All variants of the D-Max in the UK is powered by Isuzu’s renowned 1.9-litre four-cylinder turbodiesel that churns out 162 hp and 360 Nm of torque, with a standard six-speed manual or an optional six-speed automatic transmission, and a choice of two- or four-wheel drive.
