Isuzu has partnered with ARB and Arctic Trucks to create the D-Max AT35 Basecamp, an overlanding-ready pickup truck that comes equipped with a tent, shower, and kitchen onboard. The truck is built on the Arctic Trucks Isuzu D-Max AT35, which is a highly capable off-road vehicle with a lift, large tires, and a locking rear differential.
The Basecamp features an ARB Esperance Rooftop Tent, which can be easily deployed, and a folding ladder for access. The truck also comes with a slide-out kitchen, electric coolbox, gas cooktop, and sink. After a long day of off-roading, the ARB Ensuite Tent with a shower room and 12-volt portable pump is a luxurious feature that’s perfect for washing off the dirt and grime.
The truck’s design is geared towards overlanding, with a focus on durability, simplicity, and off-road capability. The base vehicle, the Isuzu D-Max AT35, is available from Isuzu dealerships in the UK, and the ARB components are available separately for customers who want to build their own overlanding truck. George Wallis, Head of Marketing at Isuzu UK, notes that the new Basecamp allows customers to turn their Isuzu D-Max AT35 into a “fully equipped home away from home, ready for unforgettable experiences.”
