In such a critical moment in the history of the United States, we need reporters in the field. His donation allows us to continue sending journalists to speak on both sides of history.

THere are not many ways to get ahead of the game these days, with the western world that becomes fascist and everything. So to relieve the pain of losing their human rights in the next decade more or less, I thought I had informed him about a bit of completely legal tax avoidance, but he must hurry.
The vehicle chosen here is not for everyone, since it is one of those thick double -booth trucks. If it is purchased as a company vehicle for the use of an employee, both commercial and private, the annual benefit charge in kind (BIK) remains a very reasonable flat rate of £ 3,960, which comes out as £ 792 pa for a basic rate taxpayer, but only for vehicles “ordered” before April 6, 2025. After that date, thanks to HM Treasury, things are radically different. In the case of “Mi” test car, for example, the value of the bicycle is placed at £ 17,585, producing an £ 3,517 tax invoice for a basic rate taxpayer.
So, if you already have a D-Max, or one of its rivals, and your company has legitimately ordered for that date, for example, paying the deposit and using the usual purchase channels, it maintains that low fiscal responsibility until 2029. Any double cobabinated (that is, the family friend) ordered after April 6 will be subject to the same bik position as a passenger automob Have some need to see, what really has some need to see, which really has some need, which has some kind of appearance. Then you can also buy a more conventional car, unless you want a “interesting” toy. Which is a D-Max.
Most of the other tax advantages for a business of buying a truck does not change or are only modestly less advantageous, so companies can still recover VAT, for example. If you can demonstrate that it definitely only uses the double cab truck for work, it will not be affected; and the vehicles of the unique and extended cabin are not affected either. In summary: Another tax escape is about to be closed.
The only escape I can see is something called Maxus T90EV, which is the only twin truck with totally electric battery in the market. Now it is a rarity, but as a zero emission vehicle it is cheap (around £ 23,000 plus VAT), it has an extremely low bik responsibility and can be about to become much more popular, but strictly for road use alone (maximum rank of 200 miles maximum).
What leads us to Isuzu D-Max, throughout its glory of Butch, which is a vehicle for all stations and all land. There is a multiplicity of variations, with some quite funny lifestyle editions with tight tent, kitchen and refrigerator, or one with snorkeling exhausts with oceanic orientation, but all are based on the same framework of good value, resistant, direct, reliable and especially the durable diesel framework. In each case, you can change only rear traction, that is, on the road, to the four -wheel drive mode outside the road.
A proccility of up to 3.5 tons and a payload that exceeds a ton is standard in the range, which operates from a basic “basic” two -door “useful” model with steel wheels and vinyl carpets to luxury models that do everything possible to look and feel “premium”, with leather eyelashes and elegant works and metal paint accessories. As an aesthetic, I believe that the utility model, with its completely black grill/grill/bumper, has a certain purity functionally. You, on the other hand, you may like something that shouts “I am very hard, I” in other road users.
The upper part of the V-Cross range presents an advanced information and entertainment system of 9 “and a premium sound configuration of eight speakers. What used to be inconvenient, using its own phone and Google Maps like Satnav, now is quite acceptable. The D-Max, despite its quite high and prohibitive cap (surely hard in a pedestrian), manages to obtain a total five-star rating in the key qualifications NCAP.

The D-Max as a model dates back to decades and has developed a strong follow-up between the types of agriculture and public services company; Having fun something out of the road in one, I can attest to the confidence that he can instill even an amateur. The reviewed models have improved traction control, which means that the car can lower a muddy hill without hurting their occupants.
In truth, most out of the road available today can do this, but Isuzu is one of the best value options: the KGM (previously Ssangyong) Musso is its main rival. The VW Amorak and Ford Ranger are more sophisticated, and the Toyota Hilux enjoys an almost pious piety reputation, but again, basically, if you are not so borning, then the D-Max will do it well. For the sake of integrity, I must also mention the mayor of Ineos Grenadier, a Land Rover of the old school that seems like a resemblance to manual controls of four wheel equally hardcore, and is absurdly expensive.
Outside the road, the D-Max is excellent, and on the road it is surprisingly manageable. The diesel engine will hurry and will easily return more than 32MPG. It is also worth noting that the D-Max is light enough to prevent the lowest speed limits from applying to other pills, so it can do 70 mph instead of 60 mph on a highway, for example. Apparently, if you have the time on a German highway without adequate restrictions, you can eventually get the thing up to 112 mph, at which time you will discover how a diesel engine that screams for mercy sounds.
All D-Max models these days obtain a complete complement to driver's assistance, such as adaptive cruise control, blind spots warnings and a sensor that emits if “sees” something that is on their way. The address is not too vague, and performance is acceptable. In the city it is too large to collect any speed anyway.
With the best will in the world, none of these double -cab trucks was a game for premium SUVs, but they are all quite entertaining in a fun way, if you like a bit difficult.
That is basically everything, if you forgive the word game.
