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.
