Isuzu previews D-Max Arctic Trucks AT35 with 35-inch tyres and uprated kit
Isuzu has revealed key details of its new D-Max Arctic Trucks AT35 ahead of the official 1 October unveiling, including 35-inch tyres, 11-inch ground clearance and a £37,995 starting price.
Isuzu has released details of its new D-Max Arctic Trucks AT35 ahead of its official debut on 1 October, focusing on major off-road upgrades and new cabin equipment. The AT35 is based on the D-Max double cab and has been developed in partnership with Arctic Trucks to tackle demanding conditions.
Off-road upgrades and performance
The AT35 gets a substantial lift over the standard D-Max, with 35-inch tyres wrapped around 17-inch alloy wheels, raising ground clearance to 290mm. The approach angle improves to 36 degrees, giving the truck greater ability over rough ground and obstacles. Isuzu quotes a payload of one tonne and a 3.5-tonne towing capacity. The AT35 weighs in at 2,110kg.
Power comes from Isuzu’s 1.9-litre turbodiesel, producing 160hp and 360Nm of torque. Buyers can choose between a six-speed manual or five-speed automatic gearbox. The AT35 is offered only as a double cab, and the large tyres and uprated suspension are designed for serious off-road use rather than maximum on-road comfort.
Cabin and equipment
Inside, the AT35 features keyless entry, push-button start, and a seven-inch touchscreen infotainment system with DAB radio, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and satellite navigation. The truck also adds a shark fin antenna. Colour options include Splash White, Cosmic Black, Obsidian Grey, Venetian Red, Tundra Green, Titanium Silver and Nautilus Blue. Silver wheels are available as an alternative to black at extra cost.
Positioning and rivals
With its uprated suspension, tyres and bodywork, the AT35 is positioned as a specialist off-road pickup for buyers needing capability beyond the standard D-Max. Arctic Trucks conversions have a track record in polar and expedition use, with the Toyota Hilux 6x6 supporting record-breaking Antarctic crossings (see /toyota-hilux-6x6-helps-skier-reach-the-south-pole-in-record-time). The AT35’s payload and towing figures keep it competitive for users who need a working truck as well as off-road ability.
Isuzu is targeting customers who want a pickup that can handle extreme conditions, whether for utility, adventure or specialist commercial work. The combination of factory warranty, Arctic Trucks’ off-road upgrades and full UK type approval is likely to appeal to buyers who want capability without aftermarket compromise.
