Used 1997 Isuzu Trooper Consumer Reviews
Keep on tickin'
I'm the original owner. Have 196,000 miles on it. I'm on my 3rd starter. Talked with other owners with some problem...hard to replace too. Have to drop crossmember. What's up with filling the transmission fluid...stinks! It's hard to get to and no dip stick...who's the DIP? Better replace your tranny filter or it'll start bucking like a bronco. Under powered with rather lousy mpg. Keep up with the tunes and it'll keep going. Great 4wd with studs in winter since i live in snow country.
Buying another trooper
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.
Trooper Guy
Bought this vehicle used (4 years old) and have owned it two years. Had driven Troopers from rental car agencys and loved the way they drove, plus has barn doors in back - a feature I always liked on my 83 Chevy Suburban. Have been extremely pleased - no problems, no rattles, great sunroof, leather seats and tons of cargo room
Trooper
Reliable vehicle- low maintenance costs
Holds Up Well
I am the original owner of a 1996 Isuzu Trooper. I bought it in January of 1997 and have replaced only the battery twice. There have been no mechanical problems and it even has the original brakes on the front. (The mechanic says I still have about 40% of the use of the front brakes remaining.) I now have 105,000 mile!
