What Owners are Saying About the 1996 Isuzu Trooper
"good truck"
"Bought my 94 in 2003 w 128k I have replaced a lot of parts some broke and some as pm All AC components Water pump Starter Power steer pump Plug wires One frt. rotor Alternator It does ride and drive great...cruise on highway works great if you can go 60mph...you can get 19mpg Would buy a new one for $25k if they still made it Have been able to get any part from NAPA at fair cost...."
"One Owner at 112,000 miles"
"We bought the 2001 Trooper new and have had 112,000 miles of trouble free driving with the exception of a transmission linkage (not the transmission) fault that was repaired for under $500. As many already know, this is built on a TRUCK frame, drives like a truck (that is does not handle like a BMW on curves), yet is a great choice if (when) true off road driving is required. On road trips where long trenches of highway miles are used, it is a true joy, getting 20mpg on average. When off-road 4wd is needed, it will "climb a tree" in low range, or go back to highway AWD when needed. Truly made in Japanese quality control at the time, I will never sell it for the KBB suggested value, simply because it can serve as an alternate vehicle when the new stuff made by the corrupt greedy UAW fails and is recalled due to poor quality control and gov't over-regulation. Do you really want a new vehicle that pretends to drive itself and tells the world who you are and where you are located??"
