1999 Isuzu Trooper S review from North America
"It's the ultimate man's machine"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
All I've done is flush the tranny and fill it with new fluid, replaced brakes and rotors.. that's it!
General comments?
What a wonderful truck... I had a 96 with every option under the sun... when I sold it to my parents it had 200k on it and it still works great..
I bought a 99 last summer and couldn't be disappointed. I blow pass the Land Rovers, stomp the Jeeps, and pull trucks out of snow banks. This SUV is by far my favorite.
I'm a very active outdoors man. I bought a roof basket with kayak j holders and it looks awesome... however it fits in great at the country club. Sometimes I haul our horses with it, and when I go on vacation to Denver, I never rent a Jeep to go crawling, my Trooper handles it great.
When I got in a 8 car accident on the highway and slid into 4ft of snow, I was the only car to get out on my own.
A trick with the oil consumption >>> use Valvoline synthetic blend... My oil burning problem has ended! quakerstate was tearing it up... enjoy your Trooper!
