Isuzu Rodeo
The Isuzu Rodeo is a proper, rugged pickup truck that can take just about anything you can throw at it. The Rodeo has clearly been designed with work in mind, so it features a huge load bay which can swallow up all you can throw at it, and all models except the entry-level 4x2 can tow up to 3,000kg trailers. Higher up the range, equipment like cruise control, satellite navigation and full leather upholstery are included, and the rugged looks are toned down by chrome details and alloy wheels. The 2.5- and 3.0-litre engines are relatively smooth, but the ride is bouncy, making longer journeys less comfortable.
