ISUZU has introduced a new Basecamp model that targets explorers and adventurers.
Designed with vehicle camping in mind the upgraded Basecamp model takes the iconic Isuzu D-Max AT35, already reimagined by Arctic Trucks, and transforms it into the ultimate adventure vehicle, equipped with a robust range of accessories from ARB and Lazer.
Based on the rugged Isuzu D-Max AT35, the new Basecamp boasts lifted Bilstein suspension, 35-inch tyres, and a host of modifications for both off-road exploration and outdoor camping.
Accessories are tailored to provide everything an adventurer needs to set up a comfortable base anywhere, from mountainous regions, through rugged forests, to secluded beaches.
The new Basecamp model is loaded with ARB's and Lazer's latest, best-in-class accessories, enabling a seamless camping experience.

The new Basecamp exemplifies Isuzu's response to the growing market for vehicle camping solutions. The collaboration with Arctic Trucks provides a durable foundation, with lifted suspension and 35-inch tyres ensuring that Basecamp can reach even the most remote and challenging locations for the ultimate experience.
George Wallis, head of marketing at Isuzu UK, said: "The new Basecamp is a peak adventure vehicle, designed to let you explore without boundaries. It's the perfect terrain-mate for those who want to take the road less travelled and really gear up for the wild. With the new Basecamp, customers can turn their Isuzu D-Max AT35 into a fully equipped home away from home, ready for unforgettable experiences. It's anything but base-ic."
Dan Wallis, sales manager at ARB UK, added: "The vehicle camping trend continues to grow, and ARB is proud to support Isuzu with high-quality accessories that make vehicle camping convenient, comfortable, and fully accessible. Our growing range of gear was made for exactly this purpose - to turn capable vehicles into complete adventure solutions. We're excited to see the Basecamp bring a new level of freedom and exploration to drivers."
The new Basecamp is set to be the ultimate vehicle for any adventurer seeking freedom and self-sufficiency on the road, and off it. Combining Isuzu's unmatched off-road pedigree with the latest ARB and Lazer premium accessories, this special project showcases how vehicle camping can transform every journey into an unforgettable experience.
The Basecamp is available for customers to customise and build at selected Isuzu dealerships that offer the D-Max Arctic Trucks.
All accessories featured in the Basecamp build are available through the Isuzu dealer network, allowing adventurers to tailor their vehicle to suit their specific camping and exploration needs.
Isuzu says the Basecamp will cost from £65,087 for a manual or £67,587 for an auto - some £12,500 more expensive than an AT35.
