Isuzu trooper has a terrible transmission not only mechanical but they are computer driven nobody knows how to work on them I own one a 2002 and would love to see a trans revamp or alternate transmission to replace the (POS) that is come with. I spent $3400.00 on rebuilding mine and it lasted 50,000 miles the engineer should be ashamed of themselfs for producing such a pile of crap. Look up Isuzu trooper trans problems and you will truly see all the problems us owners are disappointed in. If there were a fix I would love my Trooper again

Just completed a trip to Denver, CO with 3800 lbs. of loaded trailer this past March. While going North on I 15 and onto I 70 East, we had a good winter storm. Lots of road ice, and at first, heavy wet snow which turned into the "freezing" kind. Was not sure if I could make it over Vail summit given the 2" to 5" ice and pack snow and the blinding, wind driven heavy snow. Did I mention heavy snow? Well, not only did we make it (4WD; did not spin a tire). At one time, we slowed to just under 25 mph. due to stalled traffic (dumb drivers); even at that speed we had lots of traction which is a good thing! On this part of the trip at 60-65 (loaded trailer) we averaged 15 mpg. Return home averaged 19.7 at 75.

This is the third Trooper I have owned since 1986, and I will drive it until the tires fall off. I have 108,000 miles on it and only have had to replace the oxygen sensor, (50 bucks). All SUVs should be this reliable!

What a Vehicle!

We own a 1992 Trooper, and when it came time to purchase another vehicle, we drove them all-Pathfinders, 4runners, Escapes etc. All paths lead back to the 2002 Trooper. We bought it used (14,000 mi)-it runs great, is roomy, sharp-looking and exactly what we need in an SUV-we're sorry to see that Isuzu will no longer carry future models. The 1992? Oldest son now drives it. This vehicle will always have special place in my heart!

2002 Trooper

Second Trooper I have owned. Only complaint is the mysterious "oil usage" that plagues the 3.5L V6 engine. But, 10 yr, 120K mile warranty will take care of it, if necessary.
