  99 Trooper Exceeded Expectation - 1999 Isuzu Trooper
  By trooperfan - September 20 - 2:00 am

  Got a great deal on it at the end of the 99 model year. Its got over 70K miles on it and Ive had no problems with it. Just regular maintenance and a set of tires over the past three years. Drives great, very comfortable, great brakes. I drive it approx. 80 miles every day and I never tire of driving it. Not much off-road experience. A couple of trips to the snow and some dirt roads while camping. Handled both well. Great highway manners even along the California coast. A great bargain as far as I am concerned.

  Trooper drivers are loyal. - 1999 Isuzu Trooper
  By jelze - April 18 - 5:13 pm

  Once you own an Isuzu Trooper, no other SUV will do. This car can hold anything except a 4X8 sheet of plywood (tie on roof rack instead) and can go anywhere. It is comfortable to drive, great visibility all the way around - no blind spots. The engine has enough power to zoom into the fastest highway traffic or amble on the softest sand. This is my third Trooper and I will definately buy a fourth.

  Awesome - 1999 Isuzu Trooper
  By Sandy - March 5 - 2:23 pm

  We purchased our vehicle new in 1999. Since then we have accumulated 172,400 miles. Accomplish recommended maintenance when required and keep driving. Agree it burns oil but which it states it would in the owner manual. I have driven many SUVs over the years and have yet to find one that I enjoy as much as my 1999 Trooper. If the engine should go out, I would not hesitate to replace the engine and keep driving. Car looks like it did the day we bought it. No corrosion and the paint is beautiful. The only way I would get rid of my Trooper is if they made another one.

  Worth the research - 1999 Isuzu Trooper
  By WorldMedic - January 14 - 10:00 am

  Previously owned a full size Bronco and Toyota 4Runner, both great vehicles but this Trooper outshines them both. Obvious Isuzu truck lineage equal to Toyota in design and build quality. Still impressed with engine performanceand brakeing. Luxurious refined leather interior holds up even with the German Pointers as regular passengers. 35,000mi on mine without a single problem, not even a rattle.

  Excellent ride and design - 1999 Isuzu Trooper
  By jk - July 21 - 4:20 pm

  At 209K miles we are about to trade in our trooper due to the C4C program. This is the 4th trooper in the family, 3 for us and 1 for our son. We have had no unexpected problems and Im sorry that we have to sell it now, but the time is right.

  Honest Review - 1999 Isuzu Trooper
  By The real deal. - July 21 - 10:00 am

  This is one of the best "Trucks" you can buy, if not THE best. Solid, tight, dependable, durable, powerful, a real workhorse. More interior room than any mid-size SUV, and smaller exterior than the big brutes. Plenty of back seat room for 3, plus lots of cargo space. Very easy to drive around town, but will go anywhere if you like off-road adventures. Ive been to the beach, mountains, and on some very rough rocky and steep trails. The low gear will crawl over just about anyuthing! My teenage daughter would rather drive the Trooper than Moms car. The TOD works perfect in bad weather. This is just a very good do anything,go anywhere, vehicle.

  Great Price, Great Ride - No Regrets! - 1999 Isuzu Trooper
  By pbsoko - October 21 - 2:00 am

  I have been lookin for a Trooper for over a month; never was able to track one down because they would be sold within a few days of being at a dealership. Now I know why! These are excellent trucks. 4x4 TOD system rocks. Tackle anything really tough just shift to 4L and go for it. I have the luxury model. I would recommend the luxury model to everyone; it is really worth the extra bucks. The moonroof is huge, twice the size of a regular one. Engine performance is great. Regular driving on highway at 80 is nice & quiet & smooth. Gas mileage is as with any SUV, dont expect it to run on water; you can switch to 2WD which allows you to add a few MPG.

  I purchased a 99 Isuzu Trooper 4WD new and have never had any problems besides normal wear like shocks, tires, brakes. Very reliable truck. Excellent power to weight ratio.

  1999 Original Trooper Owner Review - 1999 Isuzu Trooper
  By cknott - July 10 - 12:36 am

  We have had no problems with this vehicle and have nearly 45k on the odometer. The vehicle is built solid, has no rattles, has exceptional visibility, enough power, and excellent brakes. The brakes should easily reach over 75k based on an inspection at 40k..Fuel mileage averages 17 mpg. This vehicle can go places in 2wd that most of its competition can only traverse in 4wd.I expect 200k out of this vehicle without any replacement of the powertrain.

  130k mileage, uber-dependable in Colorado - 1999 Isuzu Trooper
  By Lesmon - June 26 - 9:50 am

  Bought it used in 2000 with 13k miles; now have 130k. This car is a beast in Colorado, smashes through blizzards and snow, pulls out cars when in 4 Lo, carries lots of stuff when skiing. Still have original brakes at only 50% usage and that includes lots of driving up/down the mountains to ski and a few 4WD drives up to 13,000 feet. Also holds my 3 kids in the backseat nicely. Love the tons of interior space; its like having a Suburban without the excessive length. Truely have had only two post- warranty repairs: Transmission seal and Torque-On-Demand vaccum replacement. Total cost around $900. It does burn oil as others say but I can live with that and hope to for another 5 years.
