  2000 Isuzu Trooper - 2000 Isuzu Trooper
  By Isuzu Trooper - November 10 - 12:00 am

  Well, here it goes: I bought it used, when i was 16 (im 18 now). It had only 22,500 miles on it, and for $17,500 i bought it. The transmission went around 30,000, luckily it was under warranty so Isuzu replaced it. But to not have a car for 2 weeks was crazy. Then recently I had my check engine light come on. (49,000 miles). Took it to the dealer and it ended up being a coil that held one of my spark plugs. Replaced it and the cost was originally $410.00, I complained and got it for 318.00. I was angry but hey, I need my car. The Trooper is now driven mostly on the highway because Im away at school. Nice to drive too.(GREAT in the SNOW!).

  Durable/needs added appointments on inte - 2000 Isuzu Trooper
  By Shanda - October 25 - 2:00 am

  Great value. I love the comfort and design. This is the third Trooper we have owned. This is a very dependable ride. The only thing lacking is the sparce interior. The Trooper needs to be spiced-up and a little more luxerious. The ride could use a more car like suspension. Other than that it is the best value on the road.

  Consumes Oil - 2000 Isuzu Trooper
  By Mr. Mapes - August 22 - 7:00 am

  Purchased used at 58,000 miles for $9500. Found out later that engine was defective and consumed 1qt of oil every 500 miles. Not original owner, so no warranty. Further research revealed 2 different types of 3.5 engine problems for model year 2000. Oversized bores and not enough piston ring drain back holes. Currently have 93,000 and am using 20w-50 synthetic to reduce the consumption rate. Overall a good vehicle for what we paid for it. No real issues other than oil consumption.

  8 years going strong - 2000 Isuzu Trooper
  By mtnmba - July 28 - 12:06 am

  Troopers build quality and reliability have been excellent over 110k rough miles. Only problems were 02 sensor @30k & frt. pinion oil seal@105k - both replaced under warranty; multi-CD chgr quit @80k. Mileage about 16-17 in town & @75mph, but 19-20 towing bike trlr in CO mtns @55-65mph. No squeaks yet; paint on body still excellent-paint on plastic flares has begun to chip. Have taken Mexico to Canada, Maine to SoCal - good trip vehicle, though front seats can seem hard after a 600-mi day. Excellent in snow, off-road, and back country. I did upgrade suspension to OME coils/shocks & frt to Sway-Away hvy dty bars - much improved ride & handling.

  2nd Trouper - 2000 Isuzu Trooper
  By RiverRat - April 3 - 10:00 am

  This is my 2nd trouper. Both vehicles 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.

  Nice for a while - 2000 Isuzu Trooper
  By Gelinas - December 14 - 2:00 am

  Had a 2000 Trooper Limited. Nice truck, very comfortable, great for vacations, etc. Horrible gas milage, we live in a very hilly part od the country and the up and down hills killed me a the pump, averaged 12 MPG.

  Where Oh Where Does All The Oil Go? - 2000 Isuzu Trooper
  By Kristofer - August 22 - 9:10 pm

  I bought my Trooper late in 2005 with 53K after researching for value. Too bad I didnt check reliability as well, but hey its Japanese! The 3.5 six cylinder consumes copious amounts of oil... as much as a quart per week. The EGR valve required replacing, ($1000), at 70K because of burning all that oil. Shocks were replaced ($280), two weeks ago and last night at 81K the starter failed ($670). It handles great in the snow and carries scuba gear for 4 including 8 tanks, with room to spare. Im going to drive this until it falls apart as resale value is laughable.
