Isuzu Philippines Hosts Thrilling D-MAX Camp-Out in Zambales: A Showcase of Off-Road Adventure and New Features

Isuzu Philippines Corporation (IPC) recently concluded an exciting two-day adventure with D-MAX customers and car club members from across the country at their latest Isuzu D-MAX Camp-Out, held on September 14-15, 2024. The event, which combined eco-driving, overlanding activities, and family fun, highlighted the Isuzu D-MAX’s off-road prowess and fuel efficiency in a stunning beachside setting at Crystal Beach, Zambales.

The journey began at Isuzu Manila, where participants prepared their vehicles for a 160-kilometer eco-drive to Petron Subic for a fuel top-up and efficiency check. After recording their final fuel consumption ratings, the convoy continued for another hour to reach Crystal Beach, where participants were treated to a hearty lunch before embarking on the afternoon’s off-road activities. This eco-drive not only showcased the D-MAX’s efficiency but also set the tone for the adventurous day ahead.

After lunch, Overland Kings, led by Joel Pedro, guided the group through an engaging Overlanding 101 session. Accompanying them was 4WD expert Beeboy Bargas, who provided a detailed demonstration of off-roading techniques, focusing on the capabilities of the Isuzu D-MAX’s new Differential Lock System and Rough Terrain Mode. IPC President Tetsuya Fujita emphasized the importance of this hands-on experience, stating that it allows customers to truly appreciate the D-MAX’s advanced features in real-world scenarios.

The D-MAX’s new Differential Lock System enables drivers to lock the rear differential, ensuring equal power distribution to both rear wheels, which enhances traction on uneven or slippery surfaces. When combined with the Rough Terrain Mode, these features optimize the D-MAX’s off-road capabilities, making it an ideal choice for overlanding enthusiasts and adventurers alike. This technical insight reinforces Isuzu’s commitment to providing vehicles that excel in both performance and versatility.

As the day unfolded, the event shifted gears to include family-friendly activities, such as a hotdog and hamburger eating contest, followed by relaxation at the resort’s amenities. IPC’s dedication to customer engagement was evident, as Fujita acknowledged the value of customer feedback in improving their vehicles. The day concluded with a dinner program announcing the winners of the eco-drive challenge, showcasing impressive fuel efficiency ratings that reaffirmed the D-MAX’s reputation for durability.

In conclusion, the D-MAX Camp-Out not only highlighted the vehicle’s off-road capabilities but also fostered a sense of community among Isuzu enthusiasts. With the 2024 Isuzu D-MAX powered by the advanced 4JJ3-TCX Blue Power engine, customers can enjoy both power and fuel efficiency, making it the “Ultimate Lifestyle Vehicle.” For more information about the D-MAX and its latest features, visit www.isuzuphil.com or follow Isuzu Philippines on social media.
