Wales recently became recognised as the No.1 team in the most recently published World Rugby test team rankings and are proudly sponsored by the Isuzu D-Max the No.1 pick-up for Awards in 2019.

Warren Gatland was characteristically unassuming of the success and said 'It's just a number, isn't it? A nice accolade to have, but it's all about the next few months backing it up. We'll keep it in our pocket and go from week to week.'

Warren also added:-

'These boys are pretty proud Welshmen who won't roll over easily'

In a similar winning vein, the tough Isuzu D-Max's array of features and options make it a logical choice for a working pick-up. Its award-winning turbo diesel engine meets Euro 6 standards without the need for AdBlue, unlike most of its competitors, and boasts a 3.5 tonne towing capacity, over 1 tonne payload while providing a quiet, economical driving experience. The breadth of the range also impresses – with single, extended and double-cab formats available, as well as a wide choice of trim levels.

As per previous D-Max models, Shift-On-The-Fly 4x4 is a key feature of the truck. The rotary dial allows the driver to select four-wheel drive, while Hill Descent Control and Hill Start Assist are fitted across the range.

Coupled with its attractive five-year/125,000-mile warranty package and 5 years' roadside assistance (in the UK & Europe), the Isuzu D-Max has proved it was truly built for the professionals who use it.

Isuzu UK Head of Marketing, George Wallis commented: 'Winning so many Awards and our class in the formidable Africa Eco Race 2019 demonstrates the Isuzu D-Max's performance, capability and durability. It also re-enforces why the award-winning Isuzu D-Max just can't stop picking them up and why like Wales, we are No.1, the No.1 Pick-up for professionals'.

It has already been a very successful 2019, being crowned 'Pick-Up of The Year' at the 2019 WhatVan? Awards and in the Pick-up & 4x4 Pro Awards 2019 not to mention being voted 'Best Model' in the 4x4 Magazine awards. Recently winning its 5th Award of 2019, Best Working Pick-up in the Professional Pickup & 4x4 awards, this success follows immediately on from winning the 2019 Best Workhorse Pick-up Award from Trade Van Driver.
