Puts the "U" in SUV

The Trooper truly is the most under-rated, overlooked midsized SUV. We have a ?90 Trooper-1st generation, purchased from my brother(?96 Trooper). The design makes it a true utility vehicle. The interior height is great for hauling-compare the room w/an Explorer and you will see the difference! The 4WD is great in the snow. The 4 cyl. 5-speed is not fast, but adequate. Handling? Well, it's a truck. The high profile boxy design makes windy days scary. This has been improved in recent years. The interior is basic, but comfortable. Interior noise is loud, and the ride is, well, it's a truck. The vehicle has been reliable. Overall, we love its usefulness, and will replace it with a newer version.

These things are indestructible!! It’s more than a boxy suv on wheels. I bought mine used with 78k miles on it in 2001. Still have it and it has well over 200k miles on it and still going. Air is still ice cold, stereo still works great, it doesn’t leak, use or burn oil. Amazing. 4x4 still engages perfectly. I have the 2.6 model that is pretty bare boned with a 5-speed tranny and the gas mileage is still about 26 on the highway. The only problem I have which is common on the first gen troopers is body rust. I have rust around the wheel wells but not much and it’s easily fixable. I love this suv and if I can find another one (they’re popular with enthusiasts) I’d buy it in an instant.
