Holden only rebadged them, Izusu built them. Izusu lost alot of money. So they killed the Jackeroo and sent the rodeo off the Thialand to be built there.

Not a loss to worry about though, The petrols used more fuel then a 747 and the diesels weren't known to be that reliable. The last series that is. The early models were good and last forever.

Sudso,
I believe it was late 2005 or early to mid 2006.
Isuzu was looseing money and wanted to concentrate on their core business...TRUCKS.
Holden has tried replaceing it with the Captiva and the soon to be released H3 baby hummer (which got a good write up in 4wdmonthly until they got to internal space and fuel range + lack of a diesel engine)

"tried replacing it with the Captiva" lol.
It wont replace the Jackeroo the way it is lol.
