Isuzu Rodeo - too, um, tacky? does it tow well?

[Bowen4Horses]

so, the secret WAG in me is eyeing up the Isuzu twin cab thingy... but are they just too tacky? and (i hate to use this word) chavvy?

would it tow a trailer with two horses in?

i'm thinking probably around 2005 model, not brand new.

anyone got any experiences? good? bad?

They are not tacky, have less crap in them than other crew cabs and has the highest towing capacity of all pickups at 3 tonnes.
Not the best drive but then this comes from my OH who did 200+ miles per day in his!!
If you are buying one make sure the brake pedal doesnt go to the floor and that none of the 4 wheel drive lights are on when in 2wd...apparently effects later models rather than newer ones

Hope that helps!!

Had mine for 5 years now. Love it. Tows an Equitrek with 2 large ones up no prob at all.

Tacky? Jeez, you want to see what mine looks like inside! Worst thing about them is, soo much space to fill with cr*p!
