A substantial facelift, plush new interior and world-beating new common-rail diesel
engine are highlights of the new ’07 Isuzu Rodeo which enters showrooms from April
fully armed to make a major impact in the hotly-contested UK market for ‘lifestyle’
one-tonne pickups.
Originally launched in the UK in November 2003, the Rodeo racked up three major
awards in its first year of going on sale, being acknowledged as the most up-to-date
and sophisticated in its class.
The Rodeo’s tally of awards includes Japan’s ‘2005 Good Design Award’, ‘Best
Double Cab Pickup’ from Used Car Buyer magazine and ‘Lifestyle Pickup Winner’
from 4x4 magazine.
The Rodeo also won The Caravan Club’s ‘2005 Towcar of the Year – Utility Class’
accolade plus ‘Best-In-Class’ title from What Van? magazine.
Now, with its fresh new look and outstandingly refined, powerful and fuel-efficient
diesel engine plus improvements to its already plush interior, the new-look Rodeo is
set to regain its crown.
The new three-model range will comprise the Rodeo, Rodeo Denver Max and later in
the year a Rodeo Denver Max LE which will boast an uprated engine courtesy of
Prodrive plus an ultra-luxury interior and lavish equipment tally.
All models feature safety features normally only found on passenger cars such as
ABS with EBD, twin front airbags, door-intrusion beams, front and rear crush zones
and three-point seatbelts for all occupants – even the rear centre passenger.

Because of their 1,000kg-plus payloads, all Rodeos allow a registered company to
reclaim the VAT. Meanwhile, despite recent tax changes, company car drivers still
enjoy a substantial saving compared to someone running a typical mid-sized saloon,
estate, MPV or 4x4.
Worldwide Success
This fifth-generation Isuzu pickup is sold in vast volumes in more than 80 countries
worldwide wearing, for example, ‘Holden’ badges in Australia.
Not only does it have a 37 per cent market share in Thailand where it is built, selling
a staggering 167,000 units in 2006, but Isuzu has been Number One best-seller in
the one-tonne pickup market since 1983.
Elsewhere, the Rodeo has a 79 per cent market share in Egypt, for example, 43 per
cent in Israel and more than 32 per cent in Australia and New Zealand. Annual
production exceeded 379,000 units in 2005 and Isuzu Operations Thailand is the
biggest exporter of pickups in the world.
Meanwhile, the Japanese parent company of Isuzu is the Number One best seller
worldwide for medium-duty trucks (gross vehicle weight between 6.1 and 16 tonnes)
with 75,944 sales in 2004, for example.
Isuzu is also the biggest diesel engine producer in the world and on 7 November,
2006, signed a business agreement with Toyota of Japan giving Isuzu authority to
take the lead in small diesel engine research and development. Toyota’s share in
Isuzu is 5.9 per cent.
Prices for the five-seat, four-door ’07 Isuzu Rodeo range – which is exclusively
4x4 – are: 2.5 litre Rodeo (manual) – £13,990, 2.5 litre Rodeo Denver Max
(manual) – £15,990 and 2.5 litre Rodeo Denver Max LE (manual) – £19,990 (all
On-The-Road but excluding VAT).

New Rodeo Denver Max LE
Due later in the year, the new ’07 Rodeo Denver Max LE will boast the ultimate in
pickup luxury at an affordable price – especially for business users.
Priced at £19,990 On-The-Road (excluding VAT) in manual form, standard
equipment will include a Prodrive Performance Pack and 18ins Shadow Chrome
alloy wheels with 255/60 Pirelli Scorpion Zero tyres. It also boasts leather seats and
door inserts, an LE mesh grille, a tough load-liner and a new branded LE hard top.
In addition, customers benefit from a DVD satellite navigation system with
touchscreen plus a high-tech Bluetooth kit – useful following recent legal changes
regarding mobile ’phones.
Other Max features include a soft-type front A-bar, chrome side steps, rear step
bumper, rear light guards and brushed steel door entry guards.
This is in addition to air-conditioning, four electric windows, leather-wrapped steering
wheel, keyless-entry and selectable ‘shift-on-the-fly’ 4WD or 2WD at speeds up to
60 mph.
Still under development, its Prodrive Performance Pack is expected to boost the 2.5
litre turbo-diesel engine’s power from 136 PS to in excess of 160 PS with a torque
target of 250-plus lb ft.
High-Value New Rodeo Denver Max
Expected to be the biggest seller – and costing £15,990 OTR (excluding VAT), the
new Rodeo Denver Max features chrome side-steps, soft-type front A-bar, rear step
bumper and brushed steel door entry guards.
The Rodeo Denver Max also features keyless-entry and Bluetooth kit and load-liner
and a radio with six-disc CD autochanger with MP3 capability.

Entry-Level Rodeo Far From Basic
Despite being the entry-level model, the new Rodeo has a specification befitting a
mid-range passenger car.
For example, air-conditioning, four electric windows, 16 ins alloy wheels, keylessentry central-locking, electro-luminescent instruments and a leather-wrapped
steering wheel are all standard as is a radio with single-disc CD player with MP3
capability and iPod connectivity. Like its sister models, high-intensity, projector-type
headlamps are standard as well as a trip computer with fuel consumption read-out.
Costing £13,990 OTR (excluding VAT), the Rodeo also has a fully carpeted interior,
a slick-shifting five-speed manual gearbox, conventional floor-mounted handbrake,
and fascia-mounted selection of 4WD or 2WD up to speeds of 60 mph.
Tough, Aggressive New Look With Car-Like Detailing
Famed for its understated yet purposeful appeal, the ’07 Rodeo’s tough new look
combines car-like detailing with a strong road presence.
The front-end is completely new with new bonnet, intercooler intake, bumper, wings,
grille and projector-type headlamps.
The rear side panels behind the cab are also revised, with smoother contours
complemented by a new tailgate and rear lamps.
All Rodeos have wide tracks and clearly-defined wheelarch swage lines – further
enhanced by chunky-looking extensions.
The cab design itself is especially well integrated with the load bed – avoiding the
boxy, add-on look of many of the Rodeo’s competitors.

Car-like detailing extends to indicators now set in the door mirrors and tight panelgaps. The facelifted Rodeo’s flowing surface treatment is further enhanced by the
high-gloss mica or metallic paint.
Even the exterior door handles have a substantial feel yet exude quality, being of
grab-type design but with an especially light movement.
Practical exterior details include large wrap-round rear lights and a tailgate with lip
spoiler.
Spacious, Ergonomic, Comfortable Interior
Considerable thought and effort has gone into the ’07 Rodeo’s interior, resulting in
car-like standards of soft-touch surfaces such as the doors and fascia plus
ergonomics and seat comfort previously unheard of in a pickup.
The stylish one-piece fascia would not look out of place in an upmarket executive
saloon with all major controls readily at hand.
Air-conditioning controls are easy to use rotary dials and all models have four-speed
wipers with intermittent control. The improved manual gearbox is especially slickshifting and every variant also has a floor-mounted handbrake.
A fascia-mounted button allows the driver to select ‘shift-on-the fly’ allowing 4WD or
2WD to be engaged on the move at speeds up to 60 mph. For low ratio, the vehicle
must be stationary but selection is equally simple.
As part of the ’07 facelift, the new-look Rodeo has new plush cloth seat and door
trim, new instruments with electro-luminescent dials, new circular centre and side air
vents, a new silver-effect centre console and a new steering wheel with a bold
‘ISUZU’ encircled in chrome.

All Rodeos benefit from extensive cabin sound-proofing with insulation placed in
critical areas to heighten refinement.
Interior space is also generous with the rear seat backrest slanted at a comfortable
angle unlike many competitors which have a near vertical rake. Rear seat legroom is
also ample.
Equally, the rear doors are much wider than most competitors and can be opened up
to 68.5 degrees allowing easy entry and exit.
Headroom is 1,004 mm with shoulder room of 1,450 mm. In addition, the driver’s
seat has up to 200 mm of travel.
World-Beating New Common-Rail Diesel Engine
As befitting the world’s biggest manufacturer of diesel engines, the new Rodeo’s 2.5
litre common-rail diesel engine is an outstanding unit offering class-leading fuel
economy and exceptional refinement.
Key features are twin overhead camshafts with 16 valves and an advanced
common-rail system with an electronically-controlled fuel-injection pump.
Exceeding Euro4 emission standards, this all-new engine has a common-rail system
which runs at a high-pressure 180 MPa for precise and constant ‘just-in-time’ fuel
supply.
This ensures a fine particle spray which improves fuel economy and reduces
emissions by providing a more complete combustion process.
The variable vane, intercooled turbocharger is also new and – because the turbo
blades vary their pitch according to engine speed – provides stronger pulling power
throughout the rev-range.

EXTENSIVE FACELIFT AND NEW ENGINE FOR ’07 ISUZU RODEO

Featuring a 95.4 mm bore and short 87.4 mm stroke, this four cylinder engine is
especially smooth, quiet and free-revving and runs on a 18.3:1 compression ratio. It
is not related to the discontinued Isuzu Trooper’s common-rail engine which used
engine oil to pressurise its fuel-injection pump.
Not only is power a high 136 PS at 3,600 rpm but torque – so essential for towing
and mid-range acceleration – is a sturdy 217 lb ft at only 1,800 rpm.
This is a full 36 PS more than the old 2.5 litre and even 5.5 PS better than the
previous 3.0 litre while torque is also up showing improvements of no less than 50
lb ft and 10 lb ft respectively.
As a result, the new Rodeo is a full 6.5 mph faster than even the old 3.0 litre at 102.5
mph, while the 0-62 mph time is now 12.8 seconds – a 38 per cent improvement on
the previous 2.5 litre.
Fuel economy is class-leading at an outstanding 28.8, 39.8 and 34.9 mpg on the
Urban/Extra Urban and Combined cycles. Meanwhile the CO2 is also class-leading
and comes down from the old 3.0 litre’s 243 g/km to 213 g/km.
Closer scrutiny of the new Rodeo 2.5 litre’s power and torque graph shows it to not
only exceed the old 3.0 litre’s throughout the entire rev-range but significantly so
from 2,500 to 3,500 rpm. This means the new vehicle is much more throttle
responsive at higher speeds, avoiding the old model’s tendency to ‘run out of breath’.
Prodrive Performance Pack To Come
As with the previous Rodeo, Isuzu plans to offer a Prodrive Performance Pack on the
new 2.5 litre. This will be standard on the range-topping Rodeo Denver Max LE.

EXTENSIVE FACELIFT AND NEW ENGINE FOR ’07 ISUZU RODEO

Target power is in excess of 160 PS with torque of 250-plus lb ft and – as with the
previous 3.0 litre – the extra performance is achieved not through extra turbo boost
but via a reprogrammed Electronic Control Unit which uprates the fuel supply and
alters the ignition timing.
As turbo boost is unaffected, engine strain is not increased and allows Isuzu (UK)
Limited to include PPP under its normal three year/60,000 mile warranty.
Partly because of their clean and efficient engine combustion systems, all Rodeos
have exceptionally long service intervals of 12,000 miles including an oil change.
Outstanding Safety Initiatives
The Rodeo’s standard safety features are truly outstanding for a pickup and illustrate
its importance worldwide where in many countries it is chosen as a family car such
as in the Far East or the Greek peninsular.
Standard features include a three-channel, four-sensor anti-lock braking system
(ABS) with electronic brakeforce distribution (EBD). This latter feature is especially
important on a pickup which has to cope with a wide variation between laden and
unladen weight.
The Rodeo’s EBD compensates for the front and rear load differences during braking
– before the ABS intervenes – preventing rear axle lock-up which can afflict some
pickups. The front brakes also have twin piston callipers which enhance braking
effort and even out pad wear.
As part of the facelift, the ’07 Rodeo has an uprated braking system with a larger
230 mm (9.0 ins) tandem servo. The brake pad material is also changed for better
fade-resistance.

PAGE 10
All Rodeos also have twin front airbags with side protection door beams for all doors.
The front and rear of the body have special crush zones designed to provide
maximum absorption during impacts while the centre section and chassis are
specially reinforced.
Stronger, Stiffer Chassis and Galvanised Body Panels
The cab rides on a separate chassis which is stiffer and more resistant to bending in
the longitudinal zone by 60 per cent and 50 per cent stronger laterally compared to
the old TF pickup. A special cross member at the rear of the chassis greatly
increases torsional rigidity and spreads out the payload more evenly.
Helping both safety, refinement and durability is a single-piece cabin side which is
also galvanized for maximum corrosion-protection as are the cabin rear panel, inner
and outer doors, bonnet, wings, wheel well housings, tub floor and sides plus the
tailgate.
And on the subject of longevity, even the fuel tank is rust-resistant, being made of
polyethylene unlike the vulnerable steel tanks of many other models.
Rodeos supplied by official importer, Isuzu (UK) Limited, also enjoy extra
rustproofing. This involves a heavy-duty wax coating for the underbody and cavityinjection of crucial box-sections.
Three-Point Seatbelts Plus ISOFIX Child Seat Mountings
The front seatbelts have impact load-limiting pretensioners and are height-adjustable
as are the two outer rear seatbelts.
Every Rodeo occupant also benefits from a three-point seatbelt – even for the rear
centre passenger.
more…
EXTENSIVE FACELIFT AND NEW ENGINE FOR ’07 ISUZU RODEO
PAGE 11
And ISOFIX child seat mountings are fitted to the two outer rear seats. This makes
the Rodeo ideally suited for use as a ‘lifestyle’ family vehicle.
Car-Like Security Features
Passenger car-like security features include an engine immobiliser for all models
plus a warning reminder should the ignition key be left in the vehicle inadvertently.
Meanwhile, an alarm is standard together with central door locking with a keyless
entry facility featuring a rolling code for even greater security.
This works by changing the code between the key and the vehicle every time the
Rodeo is locked and unlocked – like shuffling a pack of cards.
New Rodeo Really Measures Up
Cargo dimensions, payloads and towing weights are among the best available with,
for example, a maximum load floor length of 1,380 mm. The Rodeo also has a
highly competitive 1,075 kg payload.
This is comfortably over the tax-critical 1,000 kg threshold. The towing weight is
equally impressive at a class-leading 3,000 kg.
The Rodeo 4x4’s ground clearance is a generous 205 mm while approach and
departure angles are 34 degrees and 21 degrees.
Improved Manual Transmission
The facelifted ’07 Rodeo has a new five-speed manual gearbox with revised ratios
giving higher gearing for quieter high-speed cruising. Fifth gear, for example, now
pulls a relaxed 27.9 mph/1,000 rpm. This also improves the already excellent fuel
economy.
more…

PAGE 12
All models have a fascia-mounted button to select ‘shift-on-the-fly’ allowing 4WD or
2WD to be engaged on the move at speeds up to 60 mph. For low ratio the vehicle
must be stationary but selection is equally simple.
Water Wading Snorkel
Isuzu has taken the Rodeo’s all-terrain abilities very seriously. For example, even in
2WD mode a rear limited-slip differential provides added traction in slippery
conditions.
And the rear axle even has a snorkel to enable the Rodeo to ‘breathe’ under water.
Extensive under body protection includes skid plates in selected vulnerable areas.
Brakes And Tyres Up To The Job
The Rodeo has a braking system especially designed for demanding commercial
use and features large 280 mm ventilated front discs and 295 mm rear drums with
improved, fade-resistant pad material for the new model. The dual-circuit braking
system has a new, larger tandem servo measuring 230mm.
In addition, all Rodeos have a sophisticated three-channel, four-sensor anti-lock
braking system (ABS) with electronic brakeforce distribution (EBD). Generous
245/70 R 16 tyres are fitted to 16 x 7 ins alloy wheels on the Rodeo and Rodeo
Denver Max and 255/60 R 18 tyres on 18 x 8.5 ins alloys on the Rodeo Denver Max
LE.
Rugged Yet Refined Suspension And Steering
Rugged yet refined best describes the Rodeo’s suspension which combines the
toughness needed for heavy-duty use with precise steering and a smoother ride than
most competitors.
more…
EXTENSIVE FACELIFT AND NEW ENGINE FOR ’07 ISUZU RODEO
PAGE 13
The Rodeo features rack-and-pinion power-assisted steering as used on virtually all
passenger cars. This replaces the less precise recirculating ball steering of its
predecessor. Some one-tonne pickups still persevere with recirculating ball which
lacks the feed-back and precision of the Rodeo’s system.
Front suspension is independent for a better ride, employing wishbones and torsion
bars. An anti-roll bar is standard.
Standard rear suspension layout for a one-tonne pickup is a live axle suspended by
semi-elliptic steel leaf springs. This is favoured by hard-working contractors because
of its simplicity, durability and ability to absorb punishing payloads.
However, for the Rodeo, Isuzu has carefully tuned the rear springs to work in
harmony with the front suspension to reduce the unladen choppiness displayed by
many rival models.
Ride comfort is further enhanced by the standard fitment of gas-filled double-acting
shock absorbers for both the front and rear suspension.
Reassuring Warranty
All Rodeos sold by official importer, Isuzu (UK) Limited, enjoy a three year/60,000
mile ‘bumper-to-bumper’ mechanical warranty plus six years’ anti-perforation cover.
Rodeo owners also benefit from full membership of Isuzu Assistance which provides
three years’ cover comprising ‘at home’, roadside and European repair or recovery.
Thanks to engineering improvements and the use of high-quality oil, maintenance
intervals are twice that of many competitors at 12,000 miles or 12 months.

Isuzu’s Little-Known History
Isuzu is Japan’s best selling medium truck manufacturer and a world-leader in the
design and development of diesel engines. The Rodeo is the fifth in a line of onetonne pickups stretching back over 31 years and regularly sold in more than 100
countries.
However, the very first Isuzu vehicle was a locally-assembled British-designed
Wolseley A9 car. That was in 1922, making the Wolseley the first passenger car ever
made in Japan.
more…
EXTENSIVE FACELIFT AND NEW ENGINE FOR ’07 ISUZU RODEO
PAGE 15
Isuzu’s tie-up with the British Wolseley company was signed in 1918 and its
antecedent company was established in 1893, trading under the name of Tokyo
Ishikawajima Shipbuilding and Engg.Co., Ltd.
By 1924 the Japanese-built Wolseley CP 5-ton payload truck was recognised as an
official military truck by the Japanese government.
The first vehicle to carry the ‘Isuzu’ badge was in 1933 when the Ishikawa
Automotive Works Co., Ltd launched a model named after the Isuzu river. This flows
past Japan’s oldest shrine, the Ise Shrine of Mie prefecture.
Various mergers and amalgamations took place during the 1930s and 40s and
during World War Two, the company that was to become Isuzu developed the watercooled DA diesel engine.
This was later fitted to several makes of truck used in the post-war reconstruction
with the company name of Isuzu Motors Ltd being established in 1949.
Domestic demand for Isuzu-engined trucks exploded during the late 1940s and
throughout the 50s, firmly establishing Isuzu as Number One for trucks and diesel
engines.
Isuzu’s Elf was launched in 1959 and is still Japan’s best-selling light-duty truck. In
order to improve international competitiveness, Isuzu entered into a tie-up with
America’s General Motors Corporation.
There is now no GM connection but on 7 November, 2006, Toyota of Japan and
Isuzu signed a business agreement which gives Isuzu authority to take the lead in
small diesel engine research and development. Toyota’s share in Isuzu is 5.9 per
cent.

The Rodeo – known as the D-Max in certain countries – was launched in Thailand,
where it is built, in May 2002.
It rapidly captured a 43 per cent market share and sold more than 167,000 units in
2006.
In fact, the D-Max holds the record for being the best-selling vehicle ever in Thailand,
reaching 100,000 units in less than one year after start of production.
