The record

Holden’s badge-engineering of Isuzu products ran from the Rodeo pick-up to the Jackaroo wagon; the Monterey ended in 2004, two years after Isuzu stopped building the Trooper.

AI rendering impression

An AI rendering impression starts from a 3D model of this vehicle, which an image model then paints into a scene. It is an artist's impression of the type, made to give a feel for the vehicle in its element — not a photograph, and not a record of any particular vehicle.

Proportions, fittings, markings, colours and the setting can all drift from the original in the process. For the vehicle's actual details, rely on the specification, the photographs and the cited sources on this page.
