A team from Hunt Forest Group, an Isuzu dealership, is embarking on an Icelandic expedition to demonstrate the awesomeness of the flagship D-Max Arctic Trucks AT35 model.
This pick-up is the halo model in the D-Max line-up with significant enhancements to the body, frame, drivetrain, suspension, wheels and tyres, while retaining Isuzu’s five-year/125,000-mile warranty. The AT35 designation refers to All Terrain and 35-inch tyres.
35-inch all-terrain tyres and Bilstein suspension makes it the perfect adventure pick-up
Gareth Thomas, Isuzu and Arctic Trucks Sales Manager at Hunt Forest Group, said: “It’s going to be an epic road trip and a real chance for us to showcase the AT35 in its natural environment. The AT35 is designed to be comfortable and extremely capable both on and off-road so the journey is the ideal route to explore both. It’s taken months of careful planning to get the project off the ground and it’s exciting to be about start the journey. I hope it inspires customers and future owners to get out there and enjoy their own adventures.”
There will be a stop at the Arctic Trucks workshop to understand the process to build an AT35
The team will visit Iceland’s iconic natural landmarks such as waterfalls, geysers, glaciers and beaches, in order to put the AT35 through vigorous outdoor testing in Arctic Trucks’ ancestral homeland.
Leading the trip will be Gareth Thomas, Hunt Forest Group’s Isuzu and Arctic Trucks Sales Manager, who will set off in the demonstrator vehicle on Thursday the 16th of March, arriving in Iceland on Tuesday the 21st of March.
In its entirety, the trip will cover over 5000 miles and 10 countries, with the team travelling from England to Calais, then to the top of Denmark where they will board a longship and sail to Iceland, before returning to England on Monday 3rd April.
