Meet the Isuzu ARCTIC TRUCKS AT35, a bakkie that doesn’t just do off-road, it owns it. Born from a partnership with Arctic Trucks, this version of the iconic D-MAX is built for those who want to break free from ordinary and conquer tough terrain with style. Assembled locally in South Africa, the AT35 blends serious 4×4 credentials with a refined feel that works just as well on remote trails as it does finishing a weekend run.
The AT35’s design is unapologetically bold: wide arches, 35-inch BF Goodrich all-terrain tyres, and chrome AT35 badging make it unmistakable. But it's not just about tough looks inside, you’re welcomed by leather-trimmed seats, specially embroidered headrests, branded floor mats, and an 8-way power driver's seat for genuine comfort. The carefully considered details give it a high-end finish, while the rugged build reminds you this is no showroom cruiser.
Under the hood, you’ll find Isuzu’s trusted 3.0-litre turbodiesel engine, producing 140 kW and 450 Nm of torque. This bakkie isn’t just strong, it’s purpose-built, with a custom lift kit and Bilstein dampers lifting its ground clearance to 266 mm for better off-road reach. You also get a fast-shifting 6-speed automatic transmission and a part-time 4×4 system with an electronic rear differential lock, perfect when things get rugged.
When the road ends, the AT35 really comes into its own. With an improved wading depth of 865 mm and enhanced approach, break-over, and departure angles, this bakkie is ready for serious terrain. And it’s not just tough connectivity and comfort are covered too: a 9-inch touchscreen supports wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, while leather and black-accented trim give the cabin a refined edge. Safety features round things off, with systems like Electronic Stability Control, Traction Control, and a host of driver-assist tech to keep you confident on every trip.
