Cracked driver's windshild (stone).
Purchased in 10 of 02, used a little over 1 qt. in the first 2000 miles. Changed oil/filter, does not use oil between 5000 miles oil changes. I use Mobile One synthetic 15-50 as I live in the valley in CA. where it can get over 100F. I have been to Denver, phoenix, and El Paso and driving about 65-70 I get about 19-20m MPG. I now have just over 15,000 and have had no (that reads, none) problems. I probably have owned somewhere around twenty five vehicles and the Trooper has/is the best operating. It is for sure, a keeper. I understand that Isuzu is planning on a new Trooper for 06 that will be made in Japan. If it is better than what I have now, a reliable, easy to operate, durable, and go any place vehicle, I will take a look at it. I plan to install a supercharger this week before I move to Denver where the extra power will come in handy.
Nov 12, 2004, and I have made a few short trips with the new supercharger. It sure adds to the performance side of the Trooper. I have no trouble keeping-up with all the high ($$$) stuff costing 40,000 +... They should have put a supercharger on the option list.
