What you’re looking at here is the new Isuzu KB (or D-Max, as it’s known in some markets) Arctic Trucks Stealth model. Revealed at the 2018 CV Show in the United Kingdom, just 10 examples of the menacing bakkie will be built.
Based on the Arctic Trucks AT35 double-cab bakkie (in five-speed automatic guise) and finished in Cosmic Black Mica paint, each Stealth model’s cabin is fitted with a unique numbered badge.
The Japanese automaker has effectively “de-chromed” the bakkie, giving it black roof bars, black side-steps, a black grille, black fog-lamp surrounds, black rear bumper trim, black side-mirrors, black door handles and a black Isuzu badge up front.
The obligatory “Arctic Trucks” badges have also been added, while the “Isuzu” decal on the tailgate has been deleted. Further additions include a black sports bar, a black top-roller cover and LED headlamps, along with additional light bars on the front bumper and sports bar.
Inside, you’ll find bespoke leather upholstery and a new nine-inch touchscreen system feeding nine speakers (including a subwoofer).
Like the AT35 on which it is based, the Stealth model is powered by a 1,9-litre turbodiesel engine, which makes 120 kW and 360 N.m. It boasts 35-inch rubber wrapped around 17-inch alloys, which (along with a lift-kit) helps to create a ground clearance of 290 mm.
