1991 Isuzu Trooper review from North America
"A great overall rig"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The clutch went out at 132000.
Rotor & Cap went at 136000, I don't know how long it had been since they were replaced before.
The bumpers were rusty, but I sanded them down and painted them.
Bumpers dent easily.
Speedometer cable wore through at 136000.
Leaks A lot of oil.
Carpet is thin, and cheap.
Windows rattle.
No dash kit for CD player.
The 4Low makes a "clunk" ing sound crawling up hills, that shakes the whole rig.
General comments?
Even though all the little things wrong with it, the Trooper is very reliable, and rides nice. I get about 15 in the city, and 18 on the highway. The gas mileage was better, until I put 31 x 10.50 off - road tires on it. it does great off road, besides the 4Low clunking sound. Overall the Trooper is a great rig, that has tons of uses, and will make a great vehicle for anyone, as long as you're not too speed hungry!
