Workhorse Wars: Nissan Navara vs. Isuzu D-Max
Published on Sep 14, 2025 • 6 min read
Kenya runs on pickups. Whether you are hauling potatoes from Narok or construction materials in Kitengela, you need a machine that doesn't complain. But which one do you choose?
The Isuzu D-Max is the legendary 'Mzee Kazi'. It holds value like gold and parts are available in every village. However, the Nissan Navara uses coil-spring suspension, making it feel like an SUV inside. If you drive yourself, the Navara wins on comfort. If you hire a driver to haul heavy loads daily, the D-Max wins on rugged durability. Choose your weapon based on who is sitting in the driver's seat.
