  • Check that your Isuzu has mounting holes

    Tough Touring has tested and fitted only a few of our racks to MUX vehicles - At time of writing were at V4 of our R&D on this vehicle. To find out more about what that means to you - See our Versions Explanation page here - https://www.toughtouring.com.au/about-1

    Before purchasing any roof rack - Check your vehicle   roof gutter cavity for roof rack mounting bolt holes... if it doesnt have any - and it has curtain airbags -Please consult with a pro fitter for advice on installing this rack 

    2020 onward cars can present significant challenges to fitting roof racks /  rtt or pole less awings ... Possibly due to increased Safety requiremtsn, Manufacturers have litterly fillled the cavity space in the roof with airbags... To make life a little harder for Mechanics and Fitters  - the roof lining can be made of moulded / brittle one piece solid foam  and is easily damaged when removed... damage is likely duriing roof lining removal...So again.. Please use professional fitters for this install... Its worth it !
