Isuzu D-Max:

The Isuzu D-Max is a pickup truck manufactured since 2002 by Isuzu. A successor of the Isuzu Faster/KB, the first and second-generation model shares its platform with the Chevrolet Colorado. The third-generation model shares its platform with the third-generation Mazda BT-50, which is produced in the same Isuzu plant in Thailand.
In Australasia between 2003 and 2008, the D-Max was marketed as the Holden Rodeo, but then it was relaunched as the Holden Colorado. The Isuzu D-Max itself was also introduced during 2008, selling alongside the Holden-badged offering....(Read more on Wikipedia)

I'm a little confused - but I might just be wrong. As I understood it, there was no Isuzu D-Max in Australia until 2008, before then it was the Holden RA7 rodeo (2007-2008), and before that the Holden RA Rodeo (2003-2006), that were manufactured by Isuzu and sold under the Holden name. They were sold as an Isuzu D-Max overseas. But if you're looking for parts for a 2006 Isuzu D-Max, that was sold as a 2006 Holden Rodeo in Australia.

Pros and Cons:

Pros:

• Moderate fuel consumption: 9 L/100 km combined.
• All-wheel drive improves traction and stability.
• Independent suspension (front: Independent torsion bar, double wishbone, rear: Spring Strut) for comfort and handling.
• Ventilated front brakes improve stopping power under load.
• ABS improves braking safety.

Cons:

• Underpowered ICE: only 163 hp.
• Low specific output ( 54.4 hp/L) suggests less efficient ICE tuning.
• Basic or outdated ICE technology.
• Older generation (ended production 2012 ); may lack latest tech.

Based on the pros and cons, the car is rated 2/5
