  Love my 2001 Trooper - 2001 Isuzu Trooper
  By Andrew - February 23 - 6:30 am

  This has been a fantastic car. I use the 4WD about 10 times a year still and have not gotten stuck...even through thick beach sand, north ga back trails and 3ft of water. Pretty cool. The car has been extremely reliable and has yet to leave me stranded. My wife loves the seat warmers. I had the brakes checked every tire rotation and finally had to change the front brake pads for the first time at 105,000 miles!!!! Only complaint would be the factoy stereo and gas mileage. 16-17mpgHWY

  Built like a tank - 2001 Isuzu Trooper
  By SteveK - November 25 - 12:46 pm

  Bought this used a year old 17,000 miles for 1/2 price of new. At 78,000 miles torque converter bearing failed costing me $900 at a trusted transmission shop, dealer wanted $4500 for a whole transmission. Other than that this car has had zero problems , absolutely no work other than one brake job, a few light bulbs and regular fluid changes..well over 100k now. It really is built like tank. I use it to haul family, lots of gear, and towing. 4WD low gear combined with high ground clearance is useful if you need it. Not for everyone but a good off road vehicle priced very low. Maybe Im lucky, but have many friends with Ford/Chevy SUVs who had to replace everything but the engine by 100K

  Superb!! - 2001 Isuzu Trooper
  By DaveM - November 20 - 2:00 am

  Impeccable build quality; Perfectly sized - Im 63" and the unusual driving position (upright seating) is not only comfortable but well thought- out; cavernous inside; classic, subtle styling. Ride & handling roved when I replace shocks and installed poly bushings.

  Great SUV - 2001 Isuzu Trooper
  By Hazel - February 27 - 5:26 am

  Quality and reliability all in one great package. This is the 3rd Isuzu Trooper I have owned. Put over 240,000 miles on each of the first two without any problems. This car is wonderfully well designed and thoughtfully engineered. Truly built with all necessary comfort features and designed for off road traveling as well. I know I wont have to worry about unexpected mechanical problems for a long, long time.

  The trooper has yet to let me down. To bad I cant say that about Isuzu Customer Service and Getting Warranty Work Done. The local dealership, I live in Northeastern Pa, cancelled my appointment for warranty work twice but failed to call me to let me know, I needed a tie rod end.If you call the number for customer support in your vehicle manual they cant and wont help, and there isnt a another dealership within an hours drive.

  My 2nd Trooper - 2001 Isuzu Trooper
  By Quynn - November 20 - 10:43 pm

  Ive had some problems with the Transmission too and my mileage is low. The RPMs go crazy & I had problems braking. I drive a little, turn off car & restart sometimes fixes problem. My drivers seat does NOT go all the way back. Im 54" & have short legs and seat is problem along with contour. I had a 88 Trooper & loved it. I like this too but I wish the seats were manual & the CD player was of better quality. Lots of room, I can put 2 bird cages, 3 cat carriers and 1-50 lbs dog & their food, in cargo area in case of hurricane evacuation. The "check engine" thingie is broken. I had it reset twice. 2 weeks later, when I gassed up, the light came back on.

  great trooper - 2001 Isuzu Trooper
  By riles - March 27 - 10:00 am

  Not enough cup holders and low gas mileage but tows great, off roads great, and packs a ton. I would recommend.

  I like my Trooper! I can not say enough about the vehicle itself. I remember traveling on icy roads and putting it into 4 wheel drive and the the feel of security hitting you.

  One of the better values + big warranty - 2001 Isuzu Trooper
  By Jim in StL - October 13 - 2:00 am

  After 25,000 miles this vehicle still drives as new. Very solid build quality - much better than seen on Explorers or Blazers. Gas mileage could be better but lets face it, it isnt the most aerodynamic shape... We are very happy with this vehicle and would have purchased another (in time) had they not discontinued them.

  Great Value - 2001 Isuzu Trooper
  By Sastisfied Owner - July 3 - 10:00 am

  After 2+ years of ownership and 40K miles of road use Ive yet to experience the first problem. It is a great vehicle for long distance travel, especially if carrying camping/other gear.
