A RED letter day is coming for fans of pick-ups with the launch of a special edition of Isuzu's D-Max truck.

The new Fury version of the D-Max comes in a bright red metallic paint job and sits on five-spoke grey alloys.

Inside, the Fury has red stitching in the cabin trim and there's the option of red and black upholstery complete with Fury logos.

It's based on the mid-range Eiger double-cab model and is the tenth derivative of the D-Max Isuzu has on sale in the UK.

Prices start from £19,999 excluding VAT which is for a manual all-wheel-drive version. Automatics carry a £1,000 premium and all are covered by a five year, 125,000 mile warranty.

Extra body kit includes a grey finish to the front grille as well as black door handles, a black rear bumper and grey side steps.

It's powered by a 2.5-litre diesel which has an official fuel return of 38.7mpg and like other versions of the D-Max, the manual has a payload capacity of more than a tonne and a towing limit of 3.5 tonnes.

The Fury is also fitted with a rear view camera and Isuzu claims the new model - which comes on stream in September and is being limited to a run of just 100 models - carries the equivalent of £2,000 worth of extras.
