As good as the first one I bought back in 1984! Overall reliability of this vehicle has been exceptional. No mechanical problems at all in 24,000 miles. Huge interior with the back seats down.

It has become very acceptable to "slam" the Trooper as old technology, too expensive, etc. If you look closely, though, you find a DOHC 24V V6, drive-by-wire throttle, variable induction, coil-over-plug direct ignition, four-wheel discs, ABS and TOD (full time) 4WD. I purchased my 2000 S Auto/TOD /w/ several options for $22,309 in 9/2000. The sticker was $30,284. While it's definately a truck, it's a very refined one and it's quicker than a 4Runner!

I was a little leery of the Trooper because of the professional reviewer's claim of tremendous body roll on turns. It certainly does not handle like a car, but it did not roll any more than my old Windstar (which I would NOT buy again). Drive is very soft, cannot feel the road, which is good and bad.

I have a 1994 Trooper S. Only mechanical breakdown was the starter at 132000. Most reliable vehicle I have ever had. Great SUV.

Best Value For Your Money

It's very unfortunate that Isuzu has discontinued the Trooper. After researching Ford, Chevy and Toyota, the Trooper was hands down the best value for the money. It has more interior room than ALL mid-sized SUV's, and the exterior has a bold, strong stature. The 3.5L 215HP engine has plenty of power, in addition, it has an outstanding reliability record. From the drivers seat, you have a good idea what the road must look like from a big rig... It's outstanding. They're still out there, if you're in the market for a new SUV, you still have time to get the best value for your money.
