PERFECT FOR 33000 MILES AND STILL GOING

I purchased the trooper because of its size, the lower case transfer for 4wd, and its value. Sticker was $31k; got it for $23,500. Perfect car. Not one single factory repair or defect. Other than routine maintenance, new tires and a battery, the car still looks brand new. The on-the-fly 4wd, and snow handling capabilities of this car are awesome. The 10 year, 120,000 mile powertrain warranty is a big plus. I would recommend this as a used car purchase without reservations. It's a bargain. Isuzu quit making Troopers this year. The Ascender is a re-badged Chevy. I give this car a hearty 9 out of ten rating.

2nd Trouper

This is my 2nd trouper. Both vehicle's have been trouble free. I have used both trucks off-road and for pulling boats and sand-rails. The 2000 model with the larger 3.2 engine does a great job. The climate control has been a great bonus to truck, along with the heated seats retrackable mirrors.

2000: Original owner.

I've had mine since it was new. I too had the problem with losing oil (1qt/1000mi) which the dealer claimed was "normal". At about 48,000 it threw a rod so the engine was replaced under warranty though I had to fight with Isuzu over some minor charges. The new engine does not have a problem losing oil like the original. The driver side window got stuck and cost $300 to fix. The CD changer only lasted about 3-4 years before it broke.

Overall, my wife and I love the Trooper. I totally recommend it. Got it a year ago with 22k miles for only $14,600. Can't beat the price. Way more interior room, power, and size for the money than any other mid-size SUV. More rear leg room that an Expedition, and more head room than any mid-size SUV I've been in. Gets close to 20mpg on the highway. TOD is probably the best 4WD system for the snow, and you can even keep it engaged on dry pavement. My wife loves that she can just push the 4WD Auto button and forget about it. The climate control is great for cold weather. Absolutely no problems after 32k.
