5. Video Review: 2018 Isuzu KB 250D-Teq X-Rider

Chad Lückhoff reviews the X-Rider, which I think is one of the best-looking bakkies out there. It has plenty of attitude but none of that unsightly over-the-top bling. The X-Rider-specific exterior kit comprises "a heavy-duty roll-bar, tonneau cover, black rock slider/side steps, diamond-cut alloy wheels, a blacked-out grille with red Isuzu badging, black housing projector headlights, LED daytime running lights and a black "nudge-bar" bumper extension", he writes. Be sure to watch the video if you think an X-Rider might suit your lifestyle and budget.
