1988 Isuzu Trooper SE review from North America
"This is the best 4x4 vehicle I have ever owned"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Replaced head with new Japanese.
Fuel pump replaced.
Motor mount replaced.
General comments?
This thing is a tank! Go anywhere, anytime, any conditions.
I am so happy with this vehicle that I'm looking for another one for off road only.
The 2.6 has power to spare when operating off road, and enough power to keep a steady highway pace.
Mileage is between 15-19 mpg.
Only complaint is the rear half door is rusting out, and needs some repair.
