This new truck is HUGE for starving Isuzu dealers. The Isuzu Trooper? Retired. Isuzu Rodeo? Long since bucked. Rodeo Sport? Game over. Hombre? Adios. Axiom? Disproved. Plans for an all-new small SUV in 2007? Vaporized. That leaves only five- and seven-passenger Isuzu Ascenders on the lots, which are nothing more than Chevy TrailBlazers with different grilles and better warranties. Kinda like the new i-Series pickups.
