Isuzu Trooper 1994-2000Change

Impossible to replace. Tows our 4 ton sailboat and snowmobile trailer with ease. Our bikes fit inside upright on a bike stand , safe and secure. Glass headlights look new as does the original paint. And it hasn't needed a a dealer only part in 25 years so the no dealerships in 20 years doesn't matter. It's shared the driveway with 2 Saturn's, 3 Saabs, 2 Jetta's all of which are in the junkyard now except the current Jetta (soon to be). Hoping the trooper has another 25 years in it as there is nothing to buy!!!

The Isuzu Trooper is a largely unknown and overlooked make /model. Very few people know they exist.

My '98 has only had 1 minor warranty item (vacuum 4WD vacuum assisted actuator, value <$100) and 2 minor repairs (intake gasket leak and worn-out starter) in 15 years.

With snow tires it is pretty well unstoppable in the mountains and brakes very well.

Handling is typical of all SUVs with high center of gravity.

Overall its the best purchase I ever made. I will keep it as long as possible. I see it as a strong competitor against the Toyota Forerunner. It's just not on many people's shopping list. Resale is probably weak compared to the Toyota.

-- I am simply a "Totally satisfied customer" (too bad they are not made anymore.).

This car has taken me everywhere. I have had it for almost two years, and it beloged to my mother before that. This car will take you through bushes, rivers, over mountains, and beyond. The only reason I am selling the trooper is because I am a student and I need to downsize, and because I am living in Vancouver now, and an amazing car like this doesnt belong in the city.

Our car has been great- toughing through the snow and ice, it always performs and drives safely- even if we don't turn the 4 wheel drive on! All the seats are very comfortable. While fuel economy is not the best, this car is very safe and reliable. There is a lot of storage space in the trunk- perfect for family camping and skiing trips. We have had to replace the brake pads several times, but given the age of the car, we don't have anything that we can really complain about! The car is very solid, and a great car for the kids to learn to drive on.
