The air outlet on the sides of the "bonnet/hood"
There is still an extra radiator in front of the vehicle.
In the water this extra radiator keeps the engine cool on the road it gives some extra cooling.
Beijing Isuzu Pick-up It has twin props because a single prop is to large and would act like a large anchor when the vehicle is driven off-road.
The twin prop is better, but still the props are something to think about off-road . ;-)
