The Holden Jackaroo is one of Australia’s most recognisable family four wheel drives, sold locally from the early 1980s through to the early 2000s and based on the tough Isuzu Trooper platform. Built with a proper ladder frame chassis, generous ground clearance and genuine off road hardware, the Jackaroo earned a reputation as a capable tourer for drivers who needed more than a suburban wagon. Across its life it offered petrol and diesel engines, manual and automatic transmissions, and both short and long wheelbase body styles, making it a practical choice for camping, towing, beach driving and country travel.

Part of the Jackaroo’s appeal was its honest character. It was not trying to be a luxury SUV before the term became fashionable; it was a durable, go anywhere Holden that could handle school runs during the week and rough tracks on the weekend. Many Australians remember seeing Jackaroos loaded with roof racks, bull bars, driving lights and spare fuel cans, heading for the coast or the outback. Its Isuzu engineering also gave it global credibility, with the Trooper sold in many markets under different badges.
