[Isuzu](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/isuzu-basecamp-at35) has made a giant splash at the 2022 Commercial Vehicle Show with the launch of the hyper-rugged 'D-Max Arctic Trucks AT35 Basecamp', a camper pickup that is more than capable of infiltrating the most treacherous of terrains in practically any and all conditions.

Developed as part of a collaborative effort with Iceland-based off-road and ice-ready truck maker Arctic Trucks, the 'D-Max Arctic Trucks AT35' camper pickup boasts a spectacular array of off-roading features that include enlarged wheel arches and an upgraded suspension with two inches of lift, with the inclusion of all-terrain tires ensuring that drivers don't have to think twice before exploring new terrain.

According to Isuzu UK product manager Brian Wheeler, the advent of this camper pickup truck is a momentous occasion for intrepid off-road adventurers. "Built to conquer all types of landscapes and be a true adventure vehicle, Basecamp demonstrates the aspirational nature of the AT35 and really does embrace everything you need, including the kitchen sink," Wheeler said.
