Isuzu would be doing pretty well if they were still selling SUVs right now. These trucks were cool but had a lot of quality control issues out the box despite being a truck built by a well-known Japanese truck manufacturer. Even after those issues were sorted the Achille's heal of 90% of them was the GM sourced 4L30e transmission. Even the nicest survivors will end up junked because of that.
