When most people think of the Isuzu name, they think primarily of diesel engines and heavy machinery, perhaps even buses and trucks. In their 86 years of automotive production, much of their efforts and acclaim have been in these areas. Among the many commercial vehicles and engines, however, there were scattered a number of incredible automotive gems gifted to the world, and now mostly present in the JDM market.
Isuzu Background and History
In 1878, the company first started in the petroleum field, giving it rich knowledge in the key elements that powered their future creations. Before Isuzu Motors came along later, work started as a cooperative effort between Tokyo Ishikawajima Shipbuilding and Engineering Co., Ltd and Tokyo Gas and Electrical Co. The plan was to build cars together, and in 1918 they partnered with British automaker Wolseley Motors Limited to produce and sell Wolseley cars in East Asia.
A JDM Isuzu gets the job done
Enthusiasts looking to get their hands on an iconic Japanese domestic market SUV should look no further than Isuzu, and especially the Bighorn. What’s more, you can get your hands on a piece of rare treasure, too, since the Bighorn name is somewhat in a minority after the international versions all adopted different names, the most common being the Trooper.
