Driving this for the mag:
Isuzu Mu7 (Alterra). Built on the previous-generation Chevy Colorado chassis. Capable of 48 mpg at 50 mph and 36 or so at 60. Pretty good for a brickhouse with a three-liter diesel.
Most of these global seven-seaters, they re-engineer the rear body, bringing the rear axle forward and giving it a more car-like profile. This one, they just built a new box around the bed and called it a day. This gives the thing a wheelbase longer than a Ford Expedition and similar legroom, in a truck that's still narrow enough for Asian roads.
