1991 Isuzu Trooper Base review from North America
"Old Reliable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Very bad gas mileage. I think the throttle body is just about shot.
Radiator is leaking.
Oil leak somewhere around engine.
Steering is a little loose.
A/c needs a little repair.
EGR valve went bad.
Exhaust leak around exhaust manifold.
Passenger side headlight keeps blowing up (literally).
General comments?
Overall, this is a very dependable vehicle. It cranks every time, and has plenty of room. The 2.8 liter is really embarrassing in the area of get up and go. Really embarrassing. But the 4 wheel drive is unbelievable.
This truck is a keeper. I'll fix the throttle body in order to get better gas mileage, and do some mending on the interior. It just keeps going without a complaint.
