Isuzu Trooper 1998Change

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.).
