Isuzu Trooper: The Best SUV Ever
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 12 พ.ค. 2019
- When all of the qualities of a good basic SUV are compared, the Isuzu Trooper stands out above the rest. The basic model was far superior then its peers in off-road capabilities, and its large cargo capacity made it appealing for use by families. This does not apply to use as a "rock crawler," but for exploration of BLM and forest service roads. Unfortunately this vehicle is no longer available in the U.S since 2002. There are used vehicles still on the road, but they are hard to find. This video is a testament to the features and durability of this SUV.
Portions of the Isuzu road test video prove its effectiveness. The full video is available at:

I miss this car, this was my family car growing up, and we went on road trips everywhere on this thing. My cousins and I used to always sleep in the cargo area during trips (yeah not safe nowadays lol). One time, we were crossing the border of Canada, I was sleeping in the back of the cargo area with my sister. That resulted in us getting detained because my parents looked like they were smuggling us, haha. Many good memories.
I love my 94 isuzu trooper S she is at 356,167 miles on the 3.2sohc v6 and 5 speed standard and it's still keeps on going
Iam still driving my trooper 20 years old best truck ever
Isuzu trooper was way an is ahead of its time.
Got my 94 Trooper 5 years ago for 500 bucks. It needed a water pump. I replaced that and changed timing belt too since I already had it apart. It's a great vehicle. 269000 and still going strong
Fantastic. I have decided to keep my Trooper and spend the money that I had saved for a 4Runner to use in updating the Trooper.
I have a 1992 Trooper and love it! 300,000 and still running like a champ
Any problems finding good repair facilities? Parts?
@@H.pylori The only thing I have ever put on it is a starter and got that from Auto zone and did it myself.
I'm going to look at an '87 Trooper II tomorrow! It only has 140k and is shockingly rust free. The best part is I'm getting it for a steal of $750....I'm so excited!
Been watching Trooper vids all day!
Good Luck on your search for a Trooper. I originally wanted The Trooper II because of its rugged off-road shape. My experience with the first generation Isuzu Trooper was in Ecuador. They beat the heck out of these vehicles and the Trooper kept running. But by the time I decided to buy, Isuzu came out with more modern redesign in 1993.
thats a STEAL! jump on it!
Man I hope you bought that trooper. The first generation was AWESOME! They have reached legendary status.
I watched vids about my 05 Ford Escape hybrid says before I got her.
i hope you bought it. I roll with the 86. when the power becomes too little for you, do an engine swap. most common is the lexus 1uzfe.
I've owned 3, having just bought my 3rd at 200K miles as a winter car for our son. These cars, when cared for, age remarkably well. This one was bought new by a friend of mine and he really liked it, only replacing it when it was well over 150k, even then he couldn't part with and has kept it until I asked him about it. My 2nd, an '02 Trooper went to my father-in-law and it outlived him, still pulling docks and launching boat up on the Canadian border. They were clearly killed by a powerful entity, clearly powerful enough to corrupt Consumer Reports. GM bought the corpus of Isuzu, ostensibly for the rights to the DuraMax diesel. I intend to keep this one for quite a while.
Thank you for your comments on the Trooper. This year my 1993 will turn 28 years. It is like my family member and I actually prefer it over my 2016 Wrangler. Time and again I have made a deal with it (yes, I talk to my Trooper) that if it has any major breakdown, it is off to the junk yard. It must have worked, because it is still going strong as my daily driver. Just think, an SUV that is 28 years old and (knock on wood) has the same transmission and drive train. Electronics still work, and each year it passes the state smog check. After so many years I know every sound it makes, and every blind spot. So I feel safer using the Trooper. The exterior is a bit worn, but that deters thieves, who assume that there would be nothing of value inside.
I'm from Mozambique and I own an ISUZU BIGHORN/TROOPER, I really love it. Great driving expirience....
Wow!! So nice to see your comment. Thank you. How do you get repairs and parts?
Mine is a '96 Citation...with 195k on the clock. Travel anywhere with confidence in it. Indeed, the best SUV. Great vid btw bro👍🏻
Thanks for watching.
Still driving my Trooper Ls 3.1td LWB in England 25 years old & the Most reliable vehicle I have owned in 40 years of driving in England.
Thank you for sharing your experience. I am always surprised that so many people have kept their vehicles as long has we have. Every time that I consider getting rid of it, someone like you causes me to change my mind and keep it. Makes for a great camping vehicle.
Have a 1998 that I bought new. Has 308,000 miles, the original clutch, original brake shoes, and just changed the original muffler last year. Do my own oil changes, spark plugs, grease jobs, and filters/belts. AC works, radio works, and put in the CD player myself a long time ago. Bought tires at Costco so they do the rotations. Live in Reno, NV do light off road travel. I'm keeping mine. Did not believe the CR articles at the time. Got a good deal because demand for these were quite low back then. Luckily, no accidents, just windshield replacements. So that's 22 years of garage parking too.
I am not as resourceful as you, and have to depend on the capabilities of Mom and Pop repair shops. I was about to donate mine to charity and get a used 4Runner, but found a good shop that only does Japanese cars and they fixed, lubed, plugs, belts...many things were repaired that the other shops neglected. Now I plan to keep the Trooper. It has so much cargo space with the rear seats folded forward. Great for camping. I just fold the back of the passenger seat down and place a 5/8 inch plywood board over the seat back and extend it to the folded front passenger seat. The end of the board at the rear door has two legs cut to the height of the folded seat and have a sleeping platform that is long enough to stretch out flat on my back with inches to spare. I am 5'9". Then I can stow gear under the platform and still have plenty of space on the driver side for the rest of the camping gear. Everything still works except the windshield washer fluid reservoir, the plastic became brittle and cracked a few years ago in this Nevada heat, and it was not worth the cost to undo the belts and hoses to get to it. Motor pumps still work. Just carry RAIN-X and paper towels.
I just learned on another youtuve video that the Trooper is pre-drilled for a roof cargo basket. Three sets of holes on each side under the black strips that run along the sides of the roof. For 26 years I thought the black strips were joint sealants to keep water out. Again, a really well done SUV that got a bad rap. Thanks for sharing.
My Isuzu Tropper 2002 until is running perfectly , 19 years . Wao!!!!!! The best . Love it
I am happy for you. You have a great SUV.
@@H.pylori Yes , thanks . It's my baby 😉
I have a 94LS. I love it even though there is always something going on with it. I bought it in 04 and it was pretty beat with 112k miles on it. It was abused for sure. But I love it so much I just can't get myself to sell it. It now has about 179k miles on it and it runs ok. The only thing I have replaced is the alternator, tires and some miscellaneous pollution control parts.
It has the famous Isuzu knock and ready for a trans rebuild.
Thanks for bashing the Consumer Reports article.
during my college days in early 90's, my dream car was 4dr isuzu trooper 4WD. At the time, there were 4runner, pathfinder, montero, rodeo, trooper and other body-on-frame SUV's... I wanted trooper so bad, but it was incredibly expensive (to me at the time)
You made me review my sales document. I was an adult and working in 1993. I paid $25,700 (out the door) for this one. Paid it off in 4 years. Has done well with only maintenance as would be expected for such an old vehicle.
I admire the anecdote about the military Ecuador expedition. Also I agree entirely about how amazing a 2020 Isuzu Trooper would be.
That court decision was weird considering we have evidence communication among Consumer Reports trying to flip not just the Trooper but the Samurai as well. They would do keep doing runs until the vehicles flipped.
I have a 94, is massive, brutal and reliable, I work with his mechanic issues, and is great machine
Very Well Built!
Best 90s SUV hands down mine 94 and is diesel auto same engine as excavator and forklift.
I am the original owner of a '94 Trooper LS w/ every single factory option offered that year. Only 156K miles and going strong. The 3.2L DOHC engine sings. Do yourself a favor and install wheels to the wider track that was introduced after the CR (crappy reporting) hit job. Handles even better. I still have that Isuzu factory provided VHS tape that you played that they sent to all registered owners.
Been driving my 95 trooper s for 6 years, i absolutely love this thing and will never get rid of it.
Parts are becoming really hard to find.
@@H.pylori no doubt, I was at a junkyard last November and watched them send 3 troopers through a crusher, apparently they had been sitting for too long and they needed space....so many parts just wasted.
What a interesting video!!
recently buy one! 91 2.6L isuzu tropper, It's so fun to run
Just sorted one today 😜🥰😍😍😍
I've been driving my trooper for over a year now without a front or rear sway bar, and guess what I still havent rolled over.
My 2000 Amigo is jealous because I want this one soo bad.I promised I would keep her,too.
* Update , just put in a new alternator, battery and a wiring problem fixed ( paid Mechanic ) plus a week's worth of Uber ....there's goes my Trooper down payment 😳.
You are a wonderful man👍🎩😊💙... you made me very happy.. it's really an exceptional, powerful and very cool car...i have trooper 2002 3.2 and i love tooo much ..thanks to much for your sharing your experience with your car
Thank you for your comments. I still drive that Trooper. I have had it for so long that it feels like a part of me, and I feel safer.

Sold here in Australia as a Holden Jackaroo, I’ve a 2000 diesel 4jx1 motor 250 thousand klm on it and Bulley proof ! Bought with a 2” lift kit Very Good 4wd !
Thanks for commenting. Seems as though someone at Isuzu would be pondering reinventing the Trooper.
I have and drive a 2000 trooper.i love it! Parts are hard to find some parts ...tierods ect.
Classic City Overland on Instagram will help you out with all of your suspension needs
I have an 05 Escape. Hope it lasts. I like it alot.
I’m from Ecuador 🇪🇨 my first car was a trooper 1984 that boxy that you talk about! That car was a beast!!
1993, Manta, Ecuador, I first saw these 2 door, white workhorses in action. They went up hills and through valleys leading to remote villages.
I've just brought one last week lol I love it
@@skankhunt4713 Enjoy!
@@H.pylori cheers mate so fun this thing is
@@skankhunt4713 I would like to purchase a 4Runner now, but I am unable to emotionally part with my Trooper. Thanks.
Have a 98 good sir. She is my Christine. I feel a connection like over never felt before. 200k miles but spent a few k to refresh her. My lifelong, won't give her up for nothing!
Thank you, comments like yours keep me motivated to keep my Trooper forever.
I had one for 9 years, best car I ever owned. Bomb proof engine, I had to sell it to buy a van for a new business.
I am waiting for Isuzu to bring out a replacement, I would buy one.
Do not hold your breath in the U.S. Mine is still running well at 28 years (1993) and embarrassingly I must admit that I have only done minimal maintenance. It is my "get around town" car. Exterior looks bad, bunch of dirty horse equipment in the rear with seats folded up. Trash on front seat. No worry about theft or break in, since who would want to do that when there is a Mercedes or Lexus nearby. My mechanic says I have at least another 100,000 mile to go, which would put me close to 280,000 miles. Have been on rough BLM roads without problems.
@@H.pylori How many times have you had the cam belt changed ?
@@dickyyrrep1383 Twice. The first time it was overdue and routinely replaced. The second time, about two years ago it snapped while I was waiting at the traffic light.
@@H.pylori it’s the only weakness, you got lucky second time !! Keep her going. Give her a bit of maintenance and bang those miles out.
Yeah man, my 2002 Topper is almost the exact same thing.
brilliant 4x4 - love mine!
I just bought a 98 trooper 147,000 miles excellent paint and interior, 3.5,, been sitting 10 years they thought engine seized I found it was a locked alternator, l love it,,
I am happy by your good fortune. As you can see, my Trooper is in need of a paint job. Good luck and many great travels.
@@H.pylori still a trooper and hard to come by,,, I see your paint and it looks like just the clear coat wet sand it smooth with fine Scotch pad and respray the clear coat and it will be good as new
I miss my Isuzu😭. I regret selling it. Even my friends who had jeeps were jealous at that time lol
Thanks for watching. You are making me feel badly even thinking of getting rid of my old TROOPER.
I just bought a 2002 5 speed 4x4 trooper in Cali. It was a super steal because it was so clean! That car is perfect and I plan on upgrading it a bit. But first I have to replace the ball joints and tie rods 😁
You will not be disappointed once the repairs are made. Hopefully all of the parts that you will need are easy to obtain. Mine is still my preferred daily driver. Good Luck, and happy off-roading trails!
@@H.pylori would you happen to know a good company that sells quality ball joints and tie rods for these bad boys?
I love mine its a 95 S. Do you know where a good source is to get OEM parts?
Mate, I have a Holden Jackaroo which is identicle to the Trooper here in Australia, and I tell you what, its a great 4X4. Oh yeah I just subscribed as well. Cheers Mate.
Thanks for visiting. I still have the Trooper. It is now officially 29 years old. It runs well. But, having some problem with the brakes. Replaced the master cylinder and the brake booster twice, but the pedal goes almost down to the floor before engaging. The aftermarket brake boosters failed right out of the box. I considered offering it up for parts or donating it to charity, but I just can't let it go. I plan to keep it until either the engine or transmission fails. Presently I can get all of my camping gear inside along with my sleeping platform.
I own a 1994 Trooper I am restoring it runs good 👍
Yours is about as old as mine. Good luck on the restore. Mine is still hauling horse equipment and Home Depot items. It is due for routine servicing next week, and if all goes well, I will be taking it out for a weekend camping trip.
I am looking for a manual Hub device for my locking four-wheel drive
Love my trooper !
Loved mine. It lost compression after about 220k miles, and finally blew a valve. I cried. Toyota, here I come.
Thanks. Mine is on notice...any major breakdown and it will be replaced with a 4Runner. But the Trooper was a great SUV then, and think of good it would be today had Isuzu continued the model with updates.
Isuzu didn't get out of the market they produced the Rodeo and the MUX and Dmax 4WD vehicles
But not in the U.S.
The automatic transmissions (at least here in Argentina) were the main weak spot. Manuals lasted waaaaay longer... Also the 3.1 turbo intercooler version was much popular. Isuzu engines are the best, I have a pickup with 461.000 kilometers and still going strong, I've seen some with a million
Thank you for your information. Fortunately, the automatic transmission on my Trooper is still going strong over 31 years. But, I only have 130,000 miles on it. The Trooper S in 1993 was underpowered, but still works well for me with no major engine repair. I hate to repeat it, but my problem is finding parts and someone who knows how to repair this old vehicle. I will keep it until it until it stops running.
Thanks for the interesting video! No oil burning? i had a Trooper until 2003, but I can't remember what year it was, but it was a 90 something. I bought it new, liked it a lot overall, but thought it was lacking a couple of important skid plates. But my main problem was it burned about a quart of oil every thousand miles, and Isuzu would not fix it, called it normal. But if I could find one without those 2 issues(just add skid plates if needed), I'd like to have another one.
Hi, I have not noticed any burning of oil in mine (as far as I can tell). I have not had to add any oil between servicing, which is about every 6-8 months. I do not abuse my Trooper as you can tell with only 125,000 miles over 28 years. If yours is a 1990, it must have been a Trooper II, so things might have been improved by 1993. As stated in my videos, my vehicle has metal skid plates covering transmission, engine, and gas tank. And it is the low end Trooper S. The only leaks that I have had and were repaired was the radiator, power steering reservoir, and one that I can't find near the engine. Every time I look at "Old Faithful" I see a 4Runner in my future as a replacement. But as long as the Trooper runs, I will keep it.
I have my isuzu trooper 2003 my 1st car a second hand they said its old model I didn't mind it its my choice I'm wise thats why I pick it than the brand new here in philippines its old enough but so tough mine is a changed engine to 4gb1t 4x2 manual tranny what I like for it is the suspension and durability and classy look mixed suv offroad whatta big car drives well with my family a lot of passenger jeep can accommodate 10 person inside thanks to the maker who engineered the best designs of this car old but reliable can defeat 5 brand new cars for me isuzu is the king of all diesel engines
@@benbertordono9273 Happy to see that you are enjoying your Trooper. I am always amazed at how many Troopers are still out there. Have fun.
If anyone knows where i can get parts let me know.
Junk yard for interior ...exterior..ebay
Thinking about buying one. Wondering if you can still get parts for them.
Philip Gordon I’ve got an 1989 trooper II and have been working on fixing it up. So far all of the engine and drivetrain components have been fairly easy to find. However some cosmetic parts have eluded me (rear bumper and weather stripping). Not sure if this applies to the later generations but I will say out of the five cars I have owned and daily driven my trooper has been by far the most reliable.
Check ebay
I go to the junkyard for miscellaneous parts.
Your attention to detail and following of the Trooper is great but you are wrong that Isuzu got out of the market, they produce the DMax now however, they may not produce these vehicles for the USA.
Thanks for the input. Never heard of the DMax, but all of the photos that I see online show a truck. DMAX is not sold in the U.S. since Isuzu only sells commercial trucks here now.
Does a 1996 isuzu troop sport utility with 200,000 miles on it worth 2000 dollars? It runs good and is almost mint condition.
I own a 1993 Trooper but have no mechanical expertise and no experience with placing value. Hopefully some of the others can help you. I have 125,000 on mine and most say this is just the break-in mileage. I have no rust, works and drives well. Would like to get rid of it, but I have had it for so long and now have found a reliable shop for maintenance and repairs, and it just fits me like a glove. Good Luck whatever you decide.
Yes buy it it's worth it
Stop spreading the word! you'll make the demand and price go up on Troopers!
I have a 94 and it's amazing.
I appreciate the humor, but in this case your humor may instead reflect the truth. From now on, I will keep quiet. Thanks for watching.
@@H.pylori I only jest. I wish there was more support so we could get some more aftermarket. OEM parts aren't always easy to find or cheap.
I have a isuzu trooper 1999 model fuel injected doest run the injectors are missing but i dont want to sell it its manual 4wd 3.0 turbo
I can feel your pain. According to the mechanic, I have a leak from the torque converter and he claims he has to drop the transmission to get to it. After 28 years, my Trooper is a part of me. I want to donate it to charity, but there are no 4Runners in my area at this time, due to the shortage/chip issue.
Only rust could stop Trooper/Monterey/SVX/Jackaroo
Isuzu has a praise for excellence, reliability and farsightedness. Even their early '90s saloons were bulletproofs.
I felt impressed about the Trooper when I saw the marketing video for the 93model th-cam.com/video/pKY0dHCGCZg/w-d-xo.html
I wonder why they let Toyota and the likes beat them through rough competitiveness.
Thanks for the video, I feel really pained I wish I could reopen that case 😡.
Agree!
Definitely underrated, I love my 98 with the 3.5 although it took me awhile to find one with a 5 speed. Stay away from the 4L30E automatic Troopers.
Whats wrong with the auto?
@@lollol-xp4mc they just don't hold up, if they are very well taken care of you can get 150k maybe 200k but thats rare. You might have to replace a clutch with a manual but the trans itself is bulletproof
220,000 miles still strong!
Fantastic!
..
Hmmm . . .
making me think
the rear seats can be removed
and build a custom day /
Murphy bed
with storage underneath
Very Kool
...
It can be done, and easily, since no airbags. The bolts holding the seats to the floor have a strange shape that probably requires a special tool.
I still have my 93 LS V6 DOHC with 300,000 + miles and runs like new !
So I guess my 93 Trooper has a long way to go with only 125,000 miles.
It is just staggering to see that what Isuzu does now is manufacturing pick-up lorries (the D-MAX) and SUVs based on the D-MAX platform (called 'MU X'). Sad to see what they have become what they are today. They used to be so great and interesting.
I wish you would have at least continue the Trooper or Rodeo, either one should suffice them.
Totally agree!
El mío es 94 muy chingon para la ruta
Sí, estoy de acuerdo con usted. Gracias por ver el video.
Miss my94 was a trooper
so you understand how I would hate to get rid of this one. The bonus is that since it looks so bad, other drivers keep their distance and don't tailgate. No one at the mall parks too close. I have no need for an alarm system. With the fading paint and the horse trash inside, no fear of theft.
Such a great car...i have seen this car in so many documentaries. I would love to drive one someday 👍
Thanks for watching. It is becoming difficult to find parts and repair shops, as things begin to wear out after 30 years.
If all goes according to plan I'm getting a 95' with a 5 speed manual!
Here is hoping that the plan goes well. You will like it..
By the end of the video, it makes me embarrassed to be human. Unfortunately I've seen and heard that type of logic before, so I should be used to things like Consumer reports getting away with damaging somebody for suggesting there wa sa problem or investigation of a problem when there really wasn't.
I have a '99 trooper that has needed more work to keep going then yours, and I've noticed other Troopers around '93 being more reliable and simpler built. I still like mine however, and have put it through a lot of off-roading. You may even see me out there in Nevada someday, standing near a green trooper with my binoculars looking at birds and other animals LOL.
I really wish there was a continuation of Troopers-- I would probably get another.
Birds like UFOs? Haha.
I have a 2000 that i love but runs so bad, cant get myself to get rid of it 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
I understand. I have that same feeling. Latest problem is leaking power steering fluid.
Since your reply, I found a mechanic that knows Japanese cars inside and out and fixed my major issues. So I am back in the saddle with the Trooper. If it continues to do well, will add a roof cargo basket and paint.
@@H.pylori awesome, great to hear.
How has that trans held up over the years
125,000 miles and original transmission works like new, with only routine maintenance.
@@H.pylori thank you
I wonder have you sold that trooper?
No, it continues to function. It is still my every day vehicle. Great for picking up stuff from Home Depot and carrying my horse supplies around. This spring I would have had it for 28 years. I have made a deal with it, as long as it keeps running, with only minor repairs, I will keep it. One major breakdown and it goes to NPR Public Radio as a charity write-off. I still like it over the Jeep.
@@H.pylori ha now that's a deal. Glad you listen to NPR Lord knows we need more like you. I had one back in the early 2000's got a great deal. Only 900.00 bucks. But at last I brought it to one oil changing places and one day it had trouble turning on. Never happened before. Came to realize the oil tank was dried. When I saw that to my regret I drove it to local store cause it was a cold day in green bay so instead of walking I drove. Then it locked up. Boy I was pissed. Still those key on my wall. Really liked how it drove and it sounded almost like a kitten purring when it running smooth on the road. Enjoy yours. I missed my. Stay safe to and yours.
I have a 1997 I would never sell it ! they are never going to make them like this ever again. "IF" they did? the avg person could never afford one
Sir, I am in complete agreement. Thanks for the comment.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️👏👏👏👏👏
Sorry automatic trans!. I have owned two...My current 1990 is a 2.8 v6-5 speed, 25000, no rust, kicks butt...not quickly, but thoroughly!
When I purchased my 1993 Trooper I wanted my wife to be able to drive it as well....which led to getting the automatic transmission. I wanted the "box style" Trooper like yours, which looks more off-road in style. But by the time I returned from Ecuador where I drove one of the 2-door earlier versions, 1993 had arrived. Thanks for commenting.
Are you selling this vehicle?
The Trooper is too the point that it is a great, paid for, everyday vehicle that is to the point that I would not trust it off road in the boonies at present. Too much old original parts. I either have to spend a lot of money to bring it up to off road trustworthiness which could be expensive, or instead use that money as a down payment on a 4Runner. Have not deiced. I love this vehicle. Carries a ton and even in its basic form has more off road parts than the trucks of today. Just wanted to show that Consumer Reports did a hatchet job on the Trooper which led to its demise. Thanks for asking.
Mine is still going, 200,000 plus
So I guess I am a baby at 125,000 miles over 27 years. And it just passed the smog check for next year's registration!! Thanks for commenting.
The trooper is a highly underrated Off road vehicle but it’s not better than the Landcruiser
I would agree with your statement. The Landcruiser is a cut above. My only input is that my 1993 Trooper is the base model, yet it has three metal skid plates, power heated mirrors, power windows, and a lot of room in the back with the rear seats folded up. Has pre-drilled holes for a roof rack/rails. 30 years...same transmission and almost all original parts. This with 127,000 miles.
Sure but you can find these for 5k.
LCs are goin for 20k.
Is the land cruiser 4 times better?
The ugly consumer report one day killed Suzuki Samurai too(((
I remember that one also. The Jimny still survives in Asian markets.
my 86 didnt need a rebuild till 400k miles. everything still works. just gave it an led headlight upgrade.
Yours is the model I was looking for after seeing them in action in Ecuador. Down there they beat the heck out of those vehicles and they kept on going. But by the time I returned to the U.S it was 1993, and I had to settle for this model. Keep having fun driving your Trooper.
@@H.pylori I'll never sell it. I have plans to put a tesla motor in it when gas vehicles are no longer allowed on the road.
Toyota 4Runner v. Isuzu Trooper: Who Wins?
Good question. Who out there has both vehicles with similar setups? Or, has driven both?
@@H.pylori Ha looks like we’ll need a vehicle contest to the finish as MMA matches between Wrath & Silverheals.
Wow close call
SUV with a 4 wheel drive? Amazing.
Thank you fine officer find man of the American way presenting the trooper and they're fantastic way I have many good experiences in an Isuzu Trooper I ran that m*********** into the ground over 8,000 miles in the last 1500 miles I was running off of disabled Oran working front drive shafts and although the motherfuker clanked and complained it's still seed me through till over the three hundred thousand mile mark
Consumer reports destroy Isuzu trooper!
I agree. After 25 years it is still working and has never flipped over or on two wheels. Has more basic off-road equipment than the basic Jeeps of today. Thanks for the comment.
Isuzu do make an new SUV it's the mux
Yes, but not sold in the U.S. It is more a luxury family SUV and only in diesel. So, not the same.
Sell it to me
This SUV has been with me so long that it is like a part of my family. I was thinking about selling it or donating it to charity at one point...then I found a mechanic that works only on Japanese cars and fixed my major problems. So, no longer considering selling. Thanks for the offer.
Buff that shit
Agree!
Your not very laulie to your faith full isuzu trooper when you talk about it been a good doner i have a beautiful 2004 trooper 2 tone don't think i will ever part with it Phil Maguire lreland
Your point is well taken, but finding replacement parts very difficult for a 1993 vs. your 2004. Some mechanics here will not even work on my Trooper, saying it is too old and they do not feel like searching for parts. I have to get a special registration for the Trooper each year. If it becomes non-drivable, then I must get rid of it. Charitable organizations will take it and earn cash from selling the parts. I have the original tire cover, cargo net, and rear cargo cover that I have never used. Do you need these?

Why automatics are bettee for offroading and sticks with lunchbox lockers dont work well
Paint the poor SUV
I hear you. Thought has crossed my mind. But, why paint and still have an ageing vehicle? It would have to be all or none as to complete repairs and upgrades and then paint. Thanks for your kind consideration of my favorite vehicle. It still carries all of my horse supplies and Home Depot materials.
