The Isuzu i-290 was launched in 2007, with a 2.9 Liter four cylinder engine. The i-290 replaced the i-280 on the roads. The truck is a product of a joint venture between Isuzu and General Motors. It comes in one body type only, which is called the Extended Cab version. The truck comes with an automatic or manual gear system and in two versions; the S and LS. The truck is available in two-wheel drive. The i-290 is good for driving through city roads or carrying light roads on the highway, but it lacks the ability to carry heavy loads over long distances. Both versions of the i-290 are equipped with alloy tires and ABS brakes on all four tires.

The i-290 S Version is equipped with a power plug in the front, airbags in the front and side for the passengers, air conditioning, mirrors on the outside that can be folded, headlights made of halogen that are switched on automatically and daytime running lights. The LS version gets airbags on the side to protect the head, a system to make sure that the driver does not get locked out of the vehicle, mirrors outside the vehicle that can be adjusted with the touch of a button, tinted glass and back support for the driver and passengers. A consumer can buy the Isuzu i-290 with a system that has keyless entry, a gauge that tells the passengers what the outside temperature is, leather steering wheel, bucket seats in the front and lights to combat fog.
