Blending vintage charm with cutting-edge upgrades, the Dragonmax reinforces Isuzu\u2019s \u201cTrusted Buddy\u201d ethos\u2014remaining a reliable partner while stepping into the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The restomod features a \u201cKatana Matte Silver\u201d body with wide fender flares, a ducktail rear spoiler and muscle-style side skirts. A redesigned front end includes a new bumper, grille, hood and LED projector headlights with DRLs, giving the truck a modern, aggressive look. The widebody rear bed and new LED taillights round out the transformation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Underneath, the Dragonmax boasts a revamped suspension and steering system, including Profender Queen Series &amp; Piggy Back shocks, a new rack and pinion setup and Brembo disc brakes (340 mm front, 320 mm rear). It rolls on 17-inch Bradley-V wheels wrapped in 225\/50 Yokohama Advan Fleva V701 tires.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Inside, it\u2019s all sport-luxury: Alcantara-trimmed Recaro Premium Classic seats, a custom front console, a 10-inch AIM MXT digital display and an 11.8-inch Android infotainment screen linked to ECU Shop\u2019s Ultra Boost control unit, displaying real-time performance metrics. Powering the Dragonmax is the new 2.2 Ddi MAXFORCE diesel engine, tuned by BRD to produce 220 hp and 550 Nm of torque \u2014 all channeled through the ECU Shop\u2019s Boost Speed Next electric throttle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">See more of the restomod in the video by Isuzu Thailand below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\"
