I had no idea Isuzu was still going.

Me being originally from a small third-world country, I feel a bond with these light, 4-cylinder trucks. They are very common around those confines of earth.

Toyota Hylux, Mitsubishi L series, Ford Ranger, Nissan Navara (a less-equipped US-market Frontier) and the VW Amarok were strong in the market.

The Hylux is still my favorite, but the Arctic Trucks treatment on this Isuzu looks a lot better.

I think they're still in partnership with GM since the D-Max is based off a Colorado to some degree and the MU-X is the Trailblazer in other countries. I think their primary focus though is light commercial trucks instead of passenger cars. I don't think they're sold in the states any more though.

Fun fact: one of the models of the D-Max is called the Utah, which I assume they called it that since Utah (the state) is the more barren, less thrilling version of Colorado.

They are quite big here in the UK, most pickups you will see will be Isuzu's and Mitsubishi's.

Still sell decently here in Oz. Funny though, when I came here, the Trooper II(my favorite Range Rover lookalike) was sold as a Holden Jackaroo.

They could probably sell these light trucks fairly effectively in the US/North America, if it wasn't for people's misconceptions slash the chicken tax.

Don't think it will live up to this photo.

Literally another Nissan Navara, like the new Mercedes.

It's actually based off a Chevy Colorado/GMC Canyon.

Those are actually based on this, the US version then added a different front end and extended it a bit.
