All-season, on/off road tires are standard on all models.

All are equipped with a 2.8 liter, 4-cylinder engine as a manual transmission with five speeds on the S and LS and an automatic with four speeds on the Luxury.

The front brakes are ventilated disc units with drums to the rear and anti-locking technology (with additional monitoring of tire pressure) is present on all wheels.

The 2007 Isuzu i-290s are equipped with a full array of air bags covering the driver and passenger with bags in the curtain position to shield against impact from the side. (There is also an automatic system for the suppression of the passenger bag’s deployment.) To discourage car thieves Isuzu has provided for entry via the remote and included an alarm with an immobilizer system.

One thing that stands out is that Isuzu offers shoppers a choice between 5-speed manual and 4-speed automatic transmissions powering the rear wheels. There are four trims available: 2 with automatic trannies and 2 with manual trannies. A lot of truck drivers are still in love with the act of grinding those gears, especially for off-road driving! Automatic transmissions are obviously considered more luxurious, but the demand for manual shifting still exists. Isuzu gives us this choice.

As for pricing, the 2008 i-290 doesn’t hurt that much. The MSRP is listed at $17,799 which is considerably below some of its competition’s. The best invoice price is $16,820. Fuel efficiency ratings are able to be appreciated weighing in at 18 mpg city and 24 mpg highway. Not bad at all. The engine is a 2.9L 185hp I4 and comes with a better warranty than does its competition. This 2008 Isuzu has been designed based on a combination of features present in the Chevrolet Colorado and the GMC Canyon, but adds its own unique flair as well.

There are three new color choices available for the 2008 i-290, but the LS trim from 2007 has been discontinued. There is but one basic trim featuring a singular body style: the Extended Cab. The truck compliments its 3200 pound automatic transmission towing capacity with a payload tipping in at just over 1500 pounds. Front airbags with automatic passenger sensing, air conditioning, a CD/mp3 player, your choice of 15 inch aluminum or chrome wheels, tire pressure monitoring and automatic headlights are some of the standard features.

The gross vehicle weight rating is 5000 pounds with a curb weight of 3488 pounds. The exterior cargo length is 72.8 inches while the overall vehicle length is 207.1 inches. The exterior cargo volume rates at 44.0 cubic feet. The width of this sound, quality vehicle is 67.6 inches. Chrome bumpers and grill are accentuated by a clearcoat monotone paint scheme. A bumper-to-bumper warranty is in effect for 36 months or 50,000 miles outdoing the majority of the competition. Major components warranty rates at 84 months or 75,000 miles. A rust through warranty will give you peace of mind for 72 months or 100,000 miles and roadside assistance comes stock with these vehicles for 84 months or 100,000 miles.

The i-290 replaced the i-280 on the roads. The truck is a product of a joint venture between Isuzu and General Motors. It comes in one body type only, which is called the Extended Cab version. The truck comes with an automatic or manual gear system and in two versions; the S and LS. The truck is available in two-wheel drive. The i-290 is good for driving through city roads or carrying light roads on the highway, but it lacks the ability to carry heavy loads over long distances. Both versions of the i-290 are equipped with alloy tires and ABS brakes on all four tires.

The i-290 S Version is equipped with a power plug in the front, airbags in the front and side for the passengers, air conditioning, mirrors on the outside that can be folded, headlights made of halogen that are switched on automatically and daytime running lights. The LS version gets airbags on the side to protect the head, a system to make sure that the driver does not get locked out of the vehicle, mirrors outside the vehicle that can be adjusted with the touch of a button, tinted glass and back support for the driver and passengers. A consumer can buy the Isuzu i-290 with a system that has keyless entry, a gauge that tells the passengers what the outside temperature is, leather steering wheel, bucket seats in the front and lights to combat fog.

The new Ascender offered a choice between two engines - one with six cylinders and the other a V8. It could be bought with rear-wheel drive or four-wheel drive and came in three types; S, LS, and Limited. The manufacturer offered a warranty of three years or 50,000 miles for the vehicle and 10 years or 120,000 miles for its engine. The vehicle was equipped with disc brakes for all four tires and airbags in the front, but it did not have any airbags on the side. In 2004, airbags on the side became an option and the Ascender was now being offered as a vehicle that could seat five passengers. In 2005, the Ascender got a Displacement on Demand System manufactured by General Motors that helped the vehicle save fuel. Also added were airbags that protected the heads of the passengers.
