Isuzu Trooper Questions

[WillTN]

Any of you guys ever owned an Isuzu Trooper? I'm considering picking up a '98-'02 so I'm not vehicle-less when the D2 is broken. I'm mainly wondering about reliability. I've heard they are pretty reliable and see a lot of them on the road (especially for a vehicle that hasn't been made in 8 years), but don't know anyone that has actually owned one (except for the older ones). Anyways, any of you guys know if they suck to work on or anything?

if you want a second car, i'd get something that at least gets really good mileage...

I had a 95 trooper prior to getting my d2. I absolutely loved the vehicle. It was a 4x4 and 5 speed. It is a great rugged truck that is easy to work on. I am not sure about the "newer" model though. But for what it is worth I loved my Trooper!

We've had two in the family and both held up well.

Every one that I've had experience with has lasted a LOOOONG time.
I had a girlfriend that had one that lasted 250k and was still running strong.

Me and Will already talked about it. Has to be 4wd.

watch the later model ones for head gasket probs. I have a freind in Indy that has owned a Trooper for over ten years and it is holding up well....

Isuzus do well long term, mine did. Matt at Independent4x has been modding these trucks for a long time, nice guy as well. He is into Rovers a little as well.

I had an 86 that the body lost out before the engine and a 92 that was great also. All in all I think Isuzu put out a quality product for reasonable money.

my parents 90 was the same way. the interior all but fell out of it and it still rand and drove great. A/C sucked though.

Had a 86 4 door that I loved that truck could go damn near anywhere but I am sure one that age would be few a far between to find in decent condition. It had an anemic 4 cyl but it got the job done.
