2001 Isuzu Trooper Limited review from North America

Right front axle seal started leaking at 12,000 miles which was repaired under warranty without complaints.

I have owned many vehicles in my 27 years of driving. My Trooper is by far the best.

I routinely get 18+ mpg on the highway.

The 4 wheel ventilated disc brakes are phenomenal. A far cry from the spongy "press and pray" feeling I got from the brakes on my 97 Yukon.

The ride is smoother than many cars.

The front seats are full power, solidly built and exquisitely comfortable.

The front seat headrest's are actually tall enough to rest your head on and give some support if you get rear ended.

The fit, finish, quality and engineering far exceeds many, many other vehicles regardless of price or make.

The climate control works flawlessly even pulling a grade in 113 degree weather climbing out of Death Valley.

The engine is silky smooth and pulls strong all the way to redline.

It's like a goat off road. It will take you almost anywhere you want to go.

Visibility is fantastic from any seat.

The sunroof is so huge that front and back passengers can enjoy the view.

Back seat legroom is ample for me and I'm over 6ft tall.

The cargo compartment rivals many full size SUV's.

The stereo with the 6 disc in-dash CD player in fantastic although it could benefit from better speakers.

I have yet to find anything regardless of make or price that suites and impresses me as much as my Trooper. It is well built, dependable, gets good gas mileage for a 4500lb truck. It has ample room without being too big. Is not overloaded with "gadgets".
