1989 Isuzu Trooper review from North America
"Repeat customer"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Burns a quart of oil every 300 miles - oooooh!
General comments?
It spends more time on the trail in 4L than most SUV's. Goes anywhere I point it.
Very spartan interior although that is what I was looking for (less features, less parts to break).
Rear disc brakes on an SUV?? WOW! At $2900 it was an incredible deal.
NOTE: with the 2.6 4 cylinder you must remember to have the valve clearance adjusted at recommended intervals!!!! Why is the distributor so close to the firewall?
