1998 Isuzu Hombre Review

One honest Hombre.

1998 Hombre Review Summary & Specifications

Anyone expecting the Hombre to be one of those pickups for dressing up and heading off for dinner at the country club might be in for a disappointment. If "luxury" or "sport" aren't in this truck's definition, what is? We think it's "work" and "value."

There's a certain honest feel to the Hombre. Behind its plain face and unadorned appearance there's a feeling of quiet ruggedness and dependable durability. This might not be the set of shiny new alloy wheels that gets your heart pounding and your temperature rising, but if you don't want to drop a lot of money and you need an honest truck that will haul some hay it's worth your time and money to take a look.
