Engines: 2.5-litre tidiesel, 100hp/225Nm; 3.0-litre tjOsel, 130bp/280Nm Transmissions:. 4x2, 4x4;5spd manual, 4spd automatic GVWs: 2,800-3,070kg Cabs: single, extended, double MODEL TESTED/PUBLISHED: Denver 24 February 2005 One of just a small number of brands to buck the upward trend, the Isuzu Rodeo goes into 2007 unchanged but with major revisions around the corner. March sees the arrival of an interior and exterior makeover, viilth new 2,5 and 3.0-litre common-rail engines producing up to 160hp, and a new automatic transmission. It was Isuzu that introduced auto boxes to the UK pickup market.
Our last Rodeo test, of a 30litre Denver, left us impressed. As well as good off-road performance, it set high standards of on-road behaviour that its rivals are just catching up with. In the last quarter of 2006, as well as some significant price reductions, the current model range drew on the family relationship with Prodrive, preparer of the Subaru World Rally cars. The basic model got a power boost and the 3.0 automatic shifts, both free of charge. Expect similar 'noonlives in the run-up to the facelift.
