In the UK, we're quite proud of the boom in our pick-up truck market that took place in the early years of this century. The trend was driven by the double-cab pick-up's commercial vehicle tax status that allowed businesses and company car users to save a packet in tax by running one instead of a conventional car. At the time, the sector's growth was described as an explosion and lots of manufacturers rushed to take advantage but in global terms, sales levels only really increased from a drip, drip, drip to a trickle. In certain regions of the world, the pick-up reigns supreme and the vehicle we know as the Isuzu Rodeo will be a far more familiar sight elsewhere than it is here.
Good-looking and toughly built, the Isuzu Rodeo fulfils a large part of what many people are after in the pick-up right off the bat. In its day, it was very much up with the top models around but despite improvements to the engines, it was left behind a little by more modern rivals. The interior is a weak point with its low quality plastics but a Rodeo should prove highly reliable and capable off-road. Most models also come well equipped, particularly some of the limited edition variants.
