Used 1997 Isuzu Trooper Consumer Reviews
Great truck
I bought it used @ 33K and it now has 86K. My father had one previously and I bought mine for it's versatility. It's extremely reliable and never left me stranded. It will suck up lots of gear and still fit easily in the garage. Too bad the base model seats only have 4 adjustments. They are pretty uncomfortable and flat. I will definitely upgrade to the 3.5l if this one ever dies.
My second Trooper and not my last
I bought this Trooper to replace an old Bronco2 that was finish at 180k. This truck has been flawlessly reliable, although I have to sell it because I need an SUV that can tow 7klbs which the Trooper can't. I've enjoyed being the person that could always get out when it snowed and to the rescues whenever someone needed a 4WD. I was also the person to drive when we needed comfort for 5 adults since the rear seat leg room in enormous (it even has foot rest). My gas mileage was good average around 17. The steering was a bit loose when I bought it but I was able to fix that by adjusting the steering box and upgrading the shocks and tires on the front.
96 with 70000 defect free miles
Bought new, I would put this manual 5 sod suv up against any from that era!
Troopin' in Chi
I love my trooper. It is a little lite for it's size and I am burning a lot of gas right now, but over all it is great
Super Trooper
Bought new, Ultra reliable, great vehicle. Not the best gas mileage but what can you expect from a 4x4 SUV?
