500Nm, 4x4 ability and room for seven souls aboard. Is Holden's Trailblazer the forgotten option for adventurous families?

Does any brand punch heavier above its weight in Australia than Isuzu? At the time of writing (early September 2018), Isuzu Ute is the 13th most popular of 50-odd brands locally. With just two products, it outperforms big names including Audi, BMW, Jeep, Land Rover, Renault and Suzuki.

Which is the best model in the Lion brand's heavy-duty SUV line-up.

The Holden Trailblazer sometimes falls off the radar in a discussion about rough-and-ready $50K 4x4s. But it probably shouldn’t.
