2026 Isuzu D-MAX BLADE 4X4 Dual Range

The 2026 Isuzu D-MAX BLADE is a distinctive dual-cab ute developed around the practical demands of towing, rougher tracks and everyday utility. Finished in Mineral White, this example combines the D-MAX platform's five-seat versatility with BLADE-specific exterior treatment and a factory-style suspension and underbody package. With just 25 km displayed, it presents as a near-new vehicle while retaining the straightforward, work-ready character expected of a four-wheel-drive ute.

Power comes from Isuzu's 3.0-litre 4JJ3-TCX four-cylinder turbo-intercooled diesel, paired with a six-speed sports automatic transmission. The 4X4 dual-range drivetrain provides a useful spread of gearing for both sealed-road travel and slower, more demanding surfaces. A rear differential lock, hill descent control, hill start assist and trailer sway control add practical support when traction, gradients or a loaded trailer become part of the journey. The listed towing capacity is 3,500 kg braked, while the gross combined mass is 6,000 kg.

The BLADE treatment gives this D-MAX a more purposeful stance without relying solely on cosmetic changes. Its equipment includes a 22 mm front and 25 mm rear lift, tuned front and rear dampers, lifted front spring seats and a rear lifting block. Underneath, steel plate guards protect the sump, transfer case and leading edge of the fuel tank. A lower bumper guard and red bash plate, two recovery hooks rated to 8,000 kg, black fender flares, tubular side steps and an extended black sports bar reinforce its intended off-road orientation.

Its exterior specification is completed by a black-badged grille, integrated lightbar, gloss-black handles and mirrors, black decals and 17-inch gloss-black flow-formed alloy wheels. Those wheels are fitted with Goodyear Wrangler Duratrac RT tyres in 275/65 R17 sizing, with a full-size spare included. The double-walled ute tub, under-rail tub liner, lockable tailgate and four internal cargo tie-down hooks keep the load area focused on useful day-to-day functionality.

Inside, the cabin uses black trim with dark grey and piano-black detailing, BLADE-branded carpet mats, scuff plates and embroidered front head restraints. The front seats are heated, while the driver's seat has eight-way electric adjustment. A numbered vehicle plaque on the transmission bezel and a numbered build plate in the engine bay underline the limited-edition presentation. The cabin also includes dual-zone climate control, rear-seat air vents, keyless entry, push-button start and power windows.

Technology is centred on a 9-inch touchscreen with built-in satellite navigation, wireless Apple CarPlay and wireless Android Auto. A Sky Sound roof-mounted audio system with eight speakers provides the entertainment system, while automatic wipers, automatic high beam and LED daytime running lights add everyday convenience. The D-MAX's driver-assistance suite includes adaptive cruise control, autonomous emergency braking, forward collision warning, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, lane departure warning, lane keep assist, emergency lane keeping, traffic sign recognition and driver attention assist.

With five seats, a capable diesel powertrain, dual-range four-wheel drive and a clearly defined BLADE equipment package, this D-MAX is configured for owners who need a ute that can combine passenger space with towing and off-road hardware. Its low displayed odometer reading, automatic transmission and broad safety and connectivity specification make it equally suited to routine transport between more demanding jobs.
