Buying Tips for the Isuzu D-Max / Rodeo (Mk1)

  • ✓The 3.0L TD is the pick for towing, but the 2.5L is more common and slightly more economical.
  • ✓Check for a heavy-duty clutch if the vehicle has a towbar; the standard clutch can struggle with heavy loads.
  • ✓Check the condition of the vacuum lines for the 4WD engagement; they often perish with age.
