⚙️ Engine Specifications

Engine Family Examples:

Common engines during this era included the Isuzu 4JA1 (2.5L diesel), 4JH1 (3.0L common rail diesel), and various gasoline engines like the 4ZE1 (2.8L petrol).

Power Output Range:

Varies by engine. Diesel variants typically ranged from 80 HP to 130 HP, with gasoline engines having similar or slightly higher outputs.

Torque Output Range:

Diesel engines typically offered torque figures from 180 Nm to 280 Nm, crucial for towing and hauling.

Diesel Injection Type:

Likely common rail direct injection (CRDI) for later 4JH1 variants, earlier 4JA1 might have direct injection or indirect injection.

Gasoline Injection Type:

Likely electronic fuel injection (EFI).

🔧 Transmission

Standard Transmission:

Often a 5-speed manual transmission.

Optional Transmission:

Likely a 4-speed or 5-speed automatic transmission was available on select models/trims.

Drivetrain Options:

Available in 2WD (RWD) and 4WD configurations.

📐 Dimensions

Body Styles:

Single Cab, Extended Cab (Space Cab), Double Cab.

Bed Configurations:

Long bed and standard bed options depending on cab type and market.

Curb Weight Range:

Approximately 1700 kg to 2100 kg, depending on configuration.

Towing Capacity:

Varies by engine and chassis, but typically rated for significant towing loads, often exceeding 2000 kg.

🛡️ Safety Features

Crash Test Ratings:

No standardized global rating for all markets during this period. Focus was primarily on structural integrity for utility.

Active Safety Features:

ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) was common, especially on higher trims. Limited availability of other active safety systems like Electronic Stability Control (ESC) during these model years.

Passive Safety Features:

Seat belts, potentially front airbags on higher trims. Side impact beams.

💡 Technology Features

Infotainment Features:

Basic audio systems (AM/FM radio, CD player), optional MP3 compatibility and auxiliary input. Bluetooth connectivity was rare or an aftermarket addition for these years.

Driver Assistance Systems:

Limited. Primarily focused on the core utility of the vehicle. Cruise control might be available on higher trims.

Connectivity Options:

Basic connectivity via auxiliary input. USB was not common.

🔧 Maintenance

Oil Change Interval:
