Performance
Under the hood, the Isuzu D-Max Mudmaster is powered by a standard 1.9-liter turbodiesel four-cylinder engine that delivers 162 hp and 360 Nm of torque. The truck comes with a 4WD system and is available with either a six-speed manual or automatic transmission for optimal performance in various driving conditions.
