The Isuzu Como is a pickup truck produced by the car manufacturer Isuzu . It is available in two body versions as a panel van or minibus . With a short or long wheelbase and, on request, with a high roof. Isuzu invested its research funds in full in the booming SUV market and wanted to keep investments in the commercial vehicle sector low. Due to this fact, the predecessor of the Como, the Isuzu Fargo II, was already based on the Nissan Caravan E 24 using badge engineering , as was the Van Isuzu Filly on the Nissan Elgrand . In addition to Japan, the Como is offered in Oceania .
