In the video, the dashcam footage caught the lorry speeding in the wrong direction on one of Port Klang’s narrow two-lane highways. Thankfully, the lorry was unloaded and the driver can be seen

(2019 Isuzu D-Max 1.9 Prices & Specs | Gallery) When it comes to shopping for a pick-up truck, unless you're a contractor that hauls machinery every now and then, it is unlikely you'll be considering the Isuzu D-Max. The reason is simple – those who desires a lifestyle pick-up truck would have selected the Ford Ranger or Mitsubishi Triton, not the Isuzu D-Max. But we firmly believe that the D-Max does have some redeeming features that could position itself as a worthy lifestyle truck alternative

Performance figures published by car manufacturers are a two-sided coin, as figures alone don't dictacte the vehicle's overall driving experience. Instead, factors such as the vehicle’s weight should be factored in as well, as having a high output vehicle with a heavy weight would penalize its performance. Do keep in mind that having the most powerful engine does not necessarily equate to being the most durable or reliable. Ford Ranger - The most powerful pick-up truck money can buy In the case
