used car of the day 1988 isuzu 4x4 pickup

Today we bring you a 1988 Isuzu 4x4 that will let you go camping.

This one has a camper/bed built into the pickup bed. It also has a bunch of new parts, including the radiator, starter, coil, alternator, flywheel, and lift kit. That lift kit includes Rancho shocks and leaf packs.

The engine has been fully rebuilt, as well.

This one has a 2.6-liter four-cylinder and a manual transmission. Our seller says the A/C works, as does the heat.

It also appears that there's a custom setup for carrying a surfboard around.

If you're looking to live the beach-bum lifestyle, you can pick this one up for $8,950. It will not surprise you to know that this rig is for sale in Santa Barbara, California.

Tim Healey

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

  David Leisure is still alive and kicking at 73 years old. It looks like his Hollywood career has died down after decades of him being one of the "hey...it's that guy!" in shows and movies.

thats wierd. you dont rebuilt a motor and then sell it.. unless that rebuild was a backyard hone and ring job. also the 88 did not (in the US) come with an option for the 2.6 so this may be a swap which raises more flags unless this is a AU import

210delray You need to change the headline -- it's a 2025 model.
Jeff How about Aspire for a new subcompact crossover from Ford because it aspires to be bigger and its buyers would aspire for a better vehicle if they could afford it.
Jeff Carlos Travares wants to cut costs by 1/3. I don't see Chrysler or Dodge surviving too much longer especially since they are being literally starved for product. The success of the new Charger could extend Dodge a few more years but a failure might be a quick end to Dodge. I could see Stellantis moving more manufacturing for Jeep and Ram to Mexico which I believe will eventually be the only surviving brands of the old Chrysler. As for the Durango if it continues it will not be for too many more years it is an outdated product that I doubt will be redesigned especially when Jeep has a comparable product. Stellantis needs to address the high dealer inventory level by giving better incentives and low interest rates to clear excessive inventory.
Johnster I keep thinking that in a year or two Toyota will offer the Camry with the 2.4 Turbo Four Hybrid offered in the Crown to replace the much-loved and much-missed V-6.
Quickson I’ll sign up for a first run of a Dodge product right after I get me a nice new disintegrating Neuralink.
