Tow master Rodeo set to capitalise on caravan holiday boom

With caravan holiday bookings up by 40 per cent on last year according to the Caravan Club, Isuzu’s load-lugging pick-up, the bionic Rodeo, looks set for a busy summer of towing – a task the tough, reliable Rodeo relishes.

The highly successful 4x4 Rodeo already has a series of towing accolades to its credit, including being voted ‘Towcar Of The Year – Utility Class’ by the Caravan Club itself, ‘Working Winner’ in the annual ‘Pick-up Of The Year Awards’ run by specialist 4x4 Magazine, and ‘Best In Class’ by What Van magazine.

Priced from just £13,999 On-The-Road (excluding VAT), the Rodeo Denver 2.5 litre diesel turbo (with cutting-edge variable vane technology) has attracted critical acclaim and offers a braked, 3,000 kg towing limit and a 1,000 kg-plus payload. And it has sophisticated brakes, transmission and suspension to match its load-lugging ability, to keep you and your important load safe.

Service intervals are a lengthy 12,000 miles including oil change and the warranty is a ‘bumper-to-bumper’ three year/60,000 miles plus six years’ anti-perforation cover, making it the perfect, practical, reliable vehicle for the family caravan holiday.

Rodeo owners also benefit from full membership of Isuzu Assistance which provides three years’ cover comprising ‘at home’, roadside and European repair or recovery, providing peace of mind on those all-important family holidays.

The new 2.5-litre, twin overhead camshaft, common-rail diesel engine offers class-leading performance from its 136 PS and 217 lb ft engine, making light work of its heavy payload, while returning first rate fuel economy (combined 34.9 mpg) –providing the ideal combination of performance, with frugality: an Isuzu hallmark.
