The Isuzu Ascender is a mid-size SUV that was produced by Isuzu Motors from 2003 to 2008. It was closely related to the Chevrolet Trailblazer, GMC Envoy, and Buick Rainier, all of which were based on the GMT360 platform. The Ascender was positioned as a rugged and capable SUV, appealing to buyers who desired off-road capability and towing power. It was offered in a variety of trim levels, including the base S, the mid-level LT, and the top-of-the-line LS. All models were powered by a 4.2-liter inline-six-cylinder engine that produced 275 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque. This engine was coupled with a four-speed automatic transmission and could be had with rear-wheel drive or four-wheel drive.

The Ascender boasted a durable construction, featuring a sturdy body-on-frame design and a capable suspension system. It was equipped with a variety of features, including standard power windows, locks, and mirrors, as well as options like leather upholstery, a sunroof, and a navigation system. The Ascender's roomy interior offered comfortable seating for up to seven passengers and provided ample cargo space. Though the Ascender was not as popular as its GM counterparts, it maintained a devoted following for its reliability and off-road prowess. However, the model was discontinued in 2008, as Isuzu decided to exit the US market due to declining sales. The Isuzu Ascender remains a desirable choice for those seeking a reliable and rugged SUV, making its service and repair manuals valuable resources for owners and mechanics alike.
