The Isuzu I-370 Crew Cab: A Perfect Family Vehicle

Posted on by

Hold on a second.  Did I just suggest a pickup truck is “perfect” for families?  Come on.  Families need mini-vans and SUVs.  Aren’t pickup trucks designed for farmers, construction workers, and young guys who like to go off-roading?  Not anymore.

What a lot of people don’t know is that Isuzu’s i-370 Crew Cab has all the functionality of an SUV, plus more child-friendly features than many SUVs, vans, or cars.

Let’s start with safety.  The Isuzu i-370 Crew Cab comes standard with all of the safety features needed to keep young children safe.  The popular pickup offers child seat lower- and top-tether anchor brackets to safely and easily secure child seats in the rear seat of the cab.  The standard model also comes with child-safe rear side door locks to keep children from opening the doors while the vehicle is moving.  Remote keyless entry/content theft-deterrent alarm system also comes standard, making entering and exiting the vehicle with children quick and safe.  For older children riding in the front seat, there is also the standard automatic front-passenger airbag suppression system.

Isuzu’s I-series Trucks for 2007

Isuzu is still in the pickup truck business, selling their version of the Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon compact pickup. Isuzu’s version is a likeable truck, though the model range is limited.

At the first glance, the Isuzu i-series is often perceived, not quite correctly, as a warmed-over General Motors product. While the i-series is more or less identical to the Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon, the fact is that Isuzu did have a hand in the truck’s development. The deal was that Chevy and GMC would have first shot at selling the truck in North America while Isuzu would sell a slightly different diesel-powered version called the D-MAX in the Asia-Pacific region, which have been very marketable.
