Briefly reunited with the vehicle that I spend 20 000 kilometres during a long-term review at CAR magazine a few years ago, it was a nice reminder, offered by Isuzu at the beginning of the launch of its seventh generation KB, of just how competent the nine-year-old outgoing model still is. Though arguably not as spacious as the current crop of double-cab bakkies on the South African market, those sharp, compact dimensions of the “old” KB, together with the bonnet scoop to feed air to the intercooler, still cut a fairly imposing shape on the road.
