1994 Isuzu Trooper - Very Reliable

The trooper was a very good vehicle. Especially for the time I needed it. The cargo space and accessibility of that space were a major selling point for me originally. Ample room for five people and pretty much an entire month's worth of groceries. Solid craftsmanship on the vehicle itself. Wonderful MPG and mostly a low maintance SUV. But once one thing in the car goes bad it starts a cascade of a bunch of other little things.

Story

We usually have pretty bad snow storms around winter time here. And when I originally bought the trooper alot of crossover hybrid suv's were coming out. The '94 trooper has 4 wheel drive but its not full time 4 wheel drive. One night we has horrible snowfall. In the morning while i was switching on the 4wheel drive all of these soccer moms go flying thru the subdivision in their hybrids smirki... (more)

Pros

The cargo space on the Trooper is phenomenal. We've used it multiple time to cart five people and all the luggage associated with them to out of state conventions. It's extremely comfortable for all of us, even on multi-hour drives. The SUV handles like a dream usually and is roomy enough that you don't feel crammed into the drivers seat.

Cons

It seemed that it was never just one thing that went bad at a time on the vehicle. And when one thing went out it was usually quickly followed by another and another. Like first the power steering pump would go, then the timing belt a day later, then the radiator. You'd get everything fixed in one go at a mechanic and everything's fine for about sixe months... then it would happen again with a different part.

1999 Isuzu Trooper - Workhorse of a vehicle, comfortable ride, reliable SUV, and lots of cargo room.

I love driving this vehicle. It doesn't ride like a "truck" like a lot of SUVs. Tons of head room and cargo space, reliable, goes just about anywhere (and I've taken it places I probably shouldn't have!). Not great on gas mileage but not too terrible. It's been really great overall and has required very little mechanical work except standard maintenance.

Story

Driving it up into the mountains for camping trips has been awesome! It has been great to get into areas that are a little more remote without worrying that I'm going to high ground on something. Strong enough to pull a small trailer, making it easy to pull things.

Pros

Lots of head room -- more than most cars/trucks/SUVs. Nice wide-wheel base, so you don't worry about rolling the vehicle on turns. Durable. Big cargo area -- nice and square-ish so you can fit lots of "stuff" and doesn't taper in too much at the top. Comfortable seats for long distances. Higher off the ground and large windows making very few blind spots and good visibility. No longer made, so all parts have to be "found" in junkyards etc. -- meaning cheaper repair parts costs.

Cons

Below average gas mileage (Averages about 12-14 MPG in town). No convenient storage compartments for jumper cables, jacks, etc. Door seals leak air (seems to be a common problem) making it for a noisier ride. Hood lever cable easily overstretched -- it makes it hard to get the hood open at times. Have to upgrade stereo etc. to be compatible with smart phones and hands-free driving. No longer made, so all parts have to be "found" in junkyards etc. -- limited stock and no new parts with warranties.

1993 Isuzu Trooper - Great off road vehicle

This vehicle is a great all around vehicle when it comes to a reliable vehicle. The vehicle cosmetics are appealing and has a nice look that gets peoples attention. When it comes to the inside of the vehicle that is also very nice because there is comfortable seating. The upholstery is of a nice leather materiel that leads to comfortable seating within the vehicle. Another nice plus for this vehicle is the fact that the vehicle is also a four wheel drive vehicle. What makes the vehicle so nice being a four wheel drive vehicle is that it can be an all purpose vehicle that can go off road. The vehicle also has plenty of seating so that you can bring up to five persons with you wherever you go. The vehicles four wheel drive also comes in handy for living in snowing conditions because it c... (more)

Story

A fun story I had with the vehicle was when I took my girlfriend to the beach for a date one time. The four wheel drive made the date very easy. I was able to drive right on the sand on the beach.

Pros

My favorite thing about this vehicle is the four wheel drive. I also enjoy the upholstery that is in the interior of the vehicle.

Cons

The top negative about the vehicle was the size of the vehicle. It is a very large vehicle.
