Holden Monterey

The Holden Monterey was the Australian market name of the luxury end of the second generation, UBS series Isuzu Trooper, a mid-size SUV that Isuzu built from 1981 to 2002. The UBS series was sold in Australia as the Holden Jackaroo, and Holden introduced the Monterey as the top equipment level, V6 only, in 1994. Monterey later became a standalone name for the more luxurious part of the range. General Motors, Isuzu and Honda had a working relationship, and the same truck was sold as the Opel Monterey in Europe, the Vauxhall Monterey in the United Kingdom from 1994 to 1998, the Honda Horizon in Japan and the Acura SLX in the United States. Holden Special Vehicles also made a sporting HSV Jackaroo from July 1993, and Holden recalled the Jackaroo and Monterey over bad earthing connections in the engine wiring harness.
