Balakong, 17 August 2026: The legendary fuel-efficient Isuzu D-MAX pick-up truck will embark on new challenge to complete a one-tank journey with a loop around the Peninsular.
The D-MAX One-Tank. One Nation challenge will see the brand-new Isuzu D-MAX 2.2-litre turbo diesel pick-up truck embark on a journey around the country beginning today, starting from the Isuzu 3S Centre in Balakong, Selangor before attempting to complete its journey back in Kuala Lumpur six days later using just its one tank of diesel after visiting Isuzu dealerships in Negeri Sembilan, Johor, Pahang, Kelantan, Kedah and Perak.
“We believe that the new Isuzu D-MAX featuring the ‘best engine ever’ 2.2-litre powerplant possesses the ideal qualities to engage in such a daunting challenge. Its amazing power delivery where 56% of the vehicle’s maximum torque is already available from as low as 1,000rpm, coupled to a new 8-speed automatic gearbox will allow the vehicle to efficiently accelerate to speed yet cruise comfortably along the highways,” said Chief Operating Officer of Isuzu Malaysia Kenichi Kudo.
The journey will be a well-documented one with journey updates by brand ambassador Baki Zainal who will be on hand at key dealerships where the D-MAX will arrive for pit stops along the route. Isuzu D-MAX fans will be able to interact with Baki and the crew and enjoy special giveaways and refreshments when the D-MAX visits.
Fans around the country can further engage in the journey by guessing the total mileage the D-MAX would have covered by the time it returns to Kuala Lumpur on Saturday. The top prize of a RM5,000 grocery shopping voucher awaits the one who guesses closest to the final mileage with lots of secondary prizes to be won.
