Overview & Reviews
A smaller, five-passenger version joins the lineup. The bigger Ascender is pretty much the same as last year, though Isuzu has added a bit of content and fiddled with the option packages. On base 2WD S models, the formerly standard keyless entry and side airbags are now optional. LS models now have a leather-wrapped steering wheel as standard and leather seating, formerly exclusive to the Limited trim, can be ordered as an option. For the Limited, driver-adjustable pedals are new this year.
- Strong six- or eight-cylinder engines, simple interior design, plenty of passenger and cargo room.
- Spongy suspension, numb steering, low-grade interior materials, odd exterior proportions.

Isuzu Fan deeply disappointed - 2004 Isuzu Ascender
By Penny Conners - June 28 - 7:16 pmAfter owning a Rodeo for 8 yrs with 160,000 trouble free miles. I was excited about my new Ascender. Noticed roaring noise from start and noted with dealership and Isuzu new owner survey. By March whole new rear end was installed. Still roars as of 6/2005. Dealership still waiting on tools? Oil sending unit now bad and on order. Dealership is a nightmare and the Owner Assistance hotline with Isuzu useless! Im a very disappointed owner who is no longer a fan. Shame on Isuzu!
