Isuzu is still in the collection truck business, selling its version of the Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon compact pickup. Isuzu version is a nice truck, though the model range is limited.
At first glance, the Isuzu i-Series is often perceived, not quite rightly, as a GM product hot. While the i-series is more or less identical to the Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon, the fact is that Isuzu had a role in the evolution of the truck. The deal was that Chevy and GMC would fired first on the sale of trucks in North America, while selling a diesel Isuzu Powered slightly different version called D-Max in the Asia-Pacific that have been very commercial.
Began selling the Isuzu i280 and i350 in the United States in 2006, although sales were a fraction of the Colorado and Canyon. Part of problem was the lack of choice. The i-series came in two versions: the four-cylinder and manual transmission 4×2 extended cab and five-cylinder i280 Crew Cab 4×4 Auto i350. Chevrolet and GMC has continued to sell their versions of the van with a variety of cabins, bed, engine, transmission, and combinations of transport.
This year, Things are a little better. The four-cylinder Isuzu now offers an automatic transmission, while the five-cylinder model comes in extended and crew cab 4×2 and a drive shaft, if the 4×4 is only available as a cabin crew. Both trucks also get larger motors and new names: i290 and i370, which reflects its engines of 2.9 and 3.7 liters.
There is no carpet and an FM / AM on the driver's seat, though air conditioning and 4-wheel anti brake locking are standard. The truck accessories, which contain cloth seats, carpets, jump back seats, CD/MP3 player, floor mats, tinted windows and are worth $ 699 in total. Automatic transmission is $ 1,089 and the final result is $ 19,500. Includes door locks and manual crank-up windows.
The i290 extended cab rear doors on both sides open for easy access to the second line, where two seats folding jump with 3 anchors and LATCH anchors for child seats. Like most compact pickup back seats are best suited for children. Once the seat is torn, we found a plastic box is also useful tool before you provide flat load floor.
This year, the i-Series offers side curtain airbags, a truck accessories vans rare. They are optional on LS-model extended cab Isuzu and equipment standard on the i370 with crew cab.
By far the highlight of the i290 is its engine. 2.9 liter, is huge for a four-cylinder engine, and it shows in the numbers: 185 horsepower and 190 lb.-ft. of torque, which peaked in a useful way low 2800 rpm. These figures represent an increase of 10 hp and 5 lb-ft last year to 2.8 liter engine.
It would be easy to mistake the i290 is out of the performance line of a truck engine. The truck lost its get-up-and-go at highway speeds, though passing acceleration (50 to 75 km / h) is appropriate. Par four-cylinder is enough to spin the rear wheels, even during moderate acceleration.
The i290 has a payload capacity of just over £ 1500, whose towing capacity is 2,100 with the manual and automatic 3100 with more than enough to carry a small boat, a couple of ATV, or a trailer useful. Its width of the platform is 4 "9" bed length is 5 'to the crew cab and 6' of the extended cab. Mobile support cables allow the tailgate to be held halfway open and bear weight in this position.
I290 The direction is light, good but not sporty. The trip is very quiet at highway speeds. As mentioned earlier the i290 comes with standard antilock brakes, but they have advanced electronic security, as electronic stability control, which is beginning to make headway in competing products.
