Isuzu UK has celebrated the first anniversary of its successful ARB Hub dealer programme with a dedicated Open Day for participating dealerships, reinforcing its commitment to the adventurous lifestyle market. Held on 15th July, the event showcased the latest premium ARB accessories and revealed exclusive dealer promotions and support packages. At the centre of the celebration was the unveiling of ARB’s most luxurious rooftop tent yet—the Altitude—now available nationwide through Isuzu’s dealer network.
A New Peak in Rooftop Living: The ARB Altitude Tent
Headlining the day’s announcements was the launch of the ARB Altitude rooftop tent, a game-changing addition to ARB’s renowned camping portfolio. Designed for the discerning adventurer, the Altitude blends state-of-the-art convenience with ARB’s signature rugged dependability. With push-button electric operation, full 360-degree panoramic windows, integrated storage solutions, and premium-quality materials, it represents the pinnacle of overland accommodation. Engineered with nearly five decades of ARB expertise, the Altitude is set to redefine off-grid exploration for Isuzu D-Max owners.
ARB Hub Open Day: Celebrating a Growing Lifestyle Network
The inaugural ARB Hub Open Day brought together dealers from across the UK, all of whom have committed to the ARB Hub programme—an initiative launched in 2024 to support Isuzu’s push into lifestyle-focused offerings. The event provided dealers with hands-on access to ARB’s latest product lines and previewed exclusive promotions and showroom enhancements designed to elevate customer engagement.
