Other than a starter I replaced and transmission (covered under warranty- odd ball problem) this truck has been trouble free for 150,000 miles. This model year had issues with valve cover oil leaks, but that does not detract from its' comfort, utility, and overall reliability. Unfortunately Isuzu like many others opted for 2.5mph bumpers, now the truck is a total loss from a low speed collision. I'd still get another though. Vastly better in quality than the Rodeo.

I had one of these a few years back and regret selling it. Bought new, put 140k miles on it with only minor isssues. Nice ride and loads of room. Only negative was poor fuel ecomomy and didn't hold its value very well after Consumer Reports fabicated a story about it rolling over.

All I have had are positive experiences. The snow in Washington has been terrible and the Trooper as been a trooper. I would tell everyone to buy this vehicle. I have never had a problem with rollovers or anything else. You want a good SUV that will get you through thick and thin. Then this is it.

We just gave our 96 Trooper to daughter, will get a 02 before they change to a GM base. Would like to have something negative to say about it but can't. We've lived in 3 staes put 70+ miles on it and have only done routine mnx..What else can you say. I'd prefer a more sophiscated vehicle but wife likes Trooper.

Nine years with this vehicle and it has surpassed my expectations. Very reliable and capable. Solidly built - still has that same tight feel as when it was new.
