The National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration (NHTSA) provides 3
different ratings -
full-width frontal crash test
,
side impact crash test
, and
rollover resistance
. The frontal crash test indicates how
well the safety features and restraints
will protect an occupant in a head-on
collision. The side-impact test conveys
the chance of a severe chest injury,
while the rollover resistance rating
estimates the risk of rolling over in a
single vehicle crash.

VISIBILITY:REAR WINDOW WIPER/WASHER:MOTOR

|
Description:
|
On certain pickup trucks with certain model-engine combinations, the windshield wiper motor may fail due to cracked solder joints on the controller circuit board. The windshield wipers could work intermittently or not at all. If this were to occur during bad weather, driver visibility would be reduced, which could result in a crash. Dealers will replace the wiper motor circuit board and cover. Owner notification is expected to begin during June 2003. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact Isuzu at 1-800-255-6727.

Summary:
|
A stylish hauler that's also budget conscious.
By Ray Thursby, NewCarTestDrive.com
This is a simple, inexpensive truck. As such, it doesn't offer either the amenities, refinement or power available in more expensive vehicles. While the basics are in place--or available as options--nobody will suggest that the Hombre has any luxury-cruiser pretensions. But it is good-looking, well-assembled and nicely finished. The hardware underneath has a proven record of durability, and Isuzu's warranty covers the Hombre for a greater mileage than does the Chevy/GMC guarantee. Beyond that it offers contemporary style and pickup panache, qualities that first-time buyers simply aren't going to extract from any car available in this price range. As a work truck or around-town runabout, the Hombre packs a great deal of value into a pleasantly low price. Those virtues alone make it well worth checking out. |
|
Overview:
|
According to the folks who make them, inexpensive 2-wheel drive pickups are the most sought-after members of the light-hauler clan. There are good reasons for that: Many owners are first-time buyers, while others buy in large quantity for delivery fleets, construction companies or other service businesses. Civilizing fancy stuff such as high-powered stereos, 4-wheel drive and luxurious upholstery don't fit their needs and/or budgets. What these thrift-minded customers do demand (after the lowest possible price) is reliability. After that, if possible, a modicum of comfort. Not to mention a bit of style. If those are the basic attributes you're seeking from a compact pickup truck, the Isuzu Hombre is well worth a once-over. Isuzu has long been a player in the entry-level compact pickup game. Its initial U.S. offering was built for--and sold by--Chevrolet; the Chevy Luv truck competed against the Mazda-sourced Ford Courier and Dodge/Mitsubishi Ram 50. As Isuzu established its own dealer body, the P'up and successors continued the no-frills policy, a strategy that guarantees survival in an intensely competitive market. Now the wheel has turned full circle, as General Motors and Isuzu team to produce another inexpensive pickup. This time, however, it's GM doing the manufacturing (in the U.S.) and Isuzu doing the selling. No shame in that. For Isuzu, it's an opportunity to keep its pickup customers happy without having to foot the bill for product development costs. For GM, the Isuzu deal is a way to keep the assembly lines running at full speed. Both companies win, and so does the customer, particularly the customer operating on a tight budget.
