1991 Isuzu Trooper XS 4dr SUV 4WD
Ok, this review will likely not be read
b/c no one is looking for a auto this
old. However, I bought this SUV new
with 2 miles on the Odom and it now has
235,000. An absolutely fabulous and
dependable drive. I utility look of
the SUV is something that is missing
from todays versions. I've had the top
end of the engine rebuilt, radiator
replaced, several clutches, … and a few
non-descript items and other than that
the SUV has been flawless. My oly
complaint is the way under powered AC.

My Beloved Trooper II
John Boy, 11/21/2008
1990 Isuzu Trooper LS 4dr SUV 4WD
I bought my Trooper brand new back in 1990. I have driven it 18 years now and put on 190,000 miles. I can't tell you how dependable and trustworthy this vehicle has been and still is. I have done all the repair work except the fuel pump and timing belt myself. I change the oil every 4000 miles and the fluids every 30K. I have had it axle deep in snow and sand and she never fails to get … me home. I brought my new daughter home from the hospital in it so I could never sell it for that reason alone, but I wouldn't sell it anyway, this vehicle has always been there for me. 5 sets of tires. Original clutch! Gets 20 mpg still today. Not fast, but very dependable and trustworthy. Header installed!

1991 Isuzu Trooper S 4dr SUV 4WD
I purchased my 1991 Trooper in the summer of 2001 from an Isuzu dealer with 136,000 miles on the odometer. I performed several maintenance tasks, including replacement of front CV shafts, tie-rod ends, ball joints, shocks, and a tune-up. However, since that service interval, I have had no problems despite many, many harsh off-road excursions and an additional 88K miles (now ~ 227K mi). … I have purchased another 1990 Trooper as a parts donor, and so I'll be Trooping for at least another 7 yrs. I like the spartan, utilitarian design; no nonsense, straight functional core. The tilt-up back seat is a BIG plus for hauling capacity. It is easy to work on.

Quirky but definitely has its niche.

1991 Isuzu Trooper LS 4dr SUV 4WD
Bought in '04, I'm the second owner of my Trooper. This vehicle has been through it all; wildfires, hurricanes, blizzards, tornadoes, sandstorms, towed a 5,000 lb trailer from Texas to Utah and got 22 mpg while doing it! It's had its moments, but these vehicles are so renowned for their toughness and versatility that there isn't a month that goes by where a 4x4 enthusiast offers to buy … it (it's not for sale).
We have a limited number of reviews for the 1991 Isuzu Trooper, so we've included reviews for other years of the Trooper since its last redesign.
