Isuzu
2006 Isuzu i-280
Base List Price: $16,989
Not long ago, Isuzu and General Motors embarked upon a joint development venture to produce compact pickup trucks. Isuzu planned to build a truck called the D-Max to sell in Thailand, while GM manufactured its own versions — the Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon — for the United States.
For the 2006 model year, Isuzu intends to begin production on two new compact pickup trucks for the U.S. market that are derived from the GM models and the D-Max. The i-280 holds a 2.8-liter four-cylinder, while the i-350 gets a 3.5-liter inline-five-cylinder. They join Isuzu’s only remaining model in the U.S. market: the Ascender sport utility vehicle, which is also based on a GM product.
With its 175-horsepower four-cylinder and other appropriate equipment, the i-280 has a payload rating greater than 1,500 pounds and can tow up to 3,200 pounds when equipped with an automatic transmission (1,700 pounds with the manual shift). Production is scheduled to begin June 20 in Shreveport, La. Isuzu expects to sell 5,000 to 10,000 i-series pickups in the first year.
