1989 Isuzu Pickup XS review from North America
"Super cheap chick magnet of a Truck"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Fuel pump blew @ 150000 km.
Frame rusted out completely (spare tire and bumper fell off, and rear axle disconnected from frame) @ 320000 km.
It is a little slow off the start line, and is sometimes difficult to pass with.
Fuel pump failed @300000 km.
General comments?
This was an awesome truck in that it was super cheap to drive (gas etc.) It is a pretty little thing, and the cab is good for 2 people, but it sucks to be the guy stuck in the backseat. It does cost a little to get it fixed, as there are not too many of them around, and parts are expensive.
