4X4 Heaven
So far nothing has gone wrong. Except when someone pulled out in front of me and I ran over them (their car). Almost $5000 in damage. Still runs like new.
This is a great vehicle and I would recommend it to anyone. It is a bit thirsty though.

Beats US built SUV's hands down!
The Isuzu Trooper is a step above its American built counterparts. I have owned Jeeps and this machine blows them out of the water in terms of quality.
It has better technology, rides better, is huge inside, a great family car. I highly recommend to anyone even considering a Trooper to take if for a test drive.
Of course it helps if you can get one with the Performance Package, which includes sunroof, tilt driver seat, tinting, etc.
Overall, a great car for those with expanding families!

The Trooper is an excellent machine both on and off the road and on snow or dry pavement
Nothing has occurred requiring more than normal scheduled maintainence.
I purchased a Trooper to replace my 1989, after doing a two year paper comparison with other similar vehicles.
When balancing out the pros and cons, you get more for your money.
The fit and finish has not changed since I bought my 1989.
Unlike some consumer group reports, the handling is as expected. An SUV cannot be driven like a race car and must be handled with respect.
I believe the only negative to the vehicle was that "map lights" don't come standard at all levels.

Drinks gas.
Very good car. Rides lot more smooth than others, quite some lux feel. Very tall but soft.

Poor gas mileage, drinks oil and original transmissions are bad. Had it replaced under warranty and the replacements are suppose to be really good.
I just bought a 1999 Isuzu Trooper. The first thing I noticed that it drinks gas, 3 Days after I bought it the check engine engine light came on, I've been told I need to change the filters and get new spark plugs. lol does anybody know how many miles per gallon it gets?

My friend and I bought identical Troopers back in 1999. Our experience with this vehicle, both on road and off has been excellent.
The four wheel drive system, it's off road and highway handling and overall quality is fantastic. In addition the roomy interior, comfortable seats and entertainment system is great.
Other than regular servicing, neither my friend or I have had any warranty work requirements.
The Trooper has turned out to be the best buy I've ever made and in 30 years I've bought a lot of cars.
