  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.

  ok so far - 2000 Isuzu Trooper
  By Billl32001 - June 6 - 6:33 am

  Bought new, has 90000 miles. 60000 had intake manifold go, which is very common. 70000 had egr go, not a big deal. 88000 had to put new starter in, $500. Thats it so far, except basic stuff like pads, muffler and lights. Did timing belt early, I notice a lot of used ones have bad belts.

  2000: Original owner. - 2000 Isuzu Trooper
  By DN - January 29 - 6:30 pm

  Ive had mine since it was new. I too had the problem with losing oil (1qt/1000mi) which the dealer claimed was "normal". At about 48,000 it threw a rod so the engine was replaced under warranty though I had to fight with Isuzu over some minor charges. The new engine does not have a problem losing oil like the original. The driver side window got stuck and cost $300 to fix. The CD changer only lasted about 3-4 years before it broke.

  Loved it so much I bought two - 2000 Isuzu Trooper
  By Got two - December 23 - 7:56 pm

  I have a 96 LS that I love. I can comfortably fit myself a friend a 128Qt Igloo, 4 shotguns, an air matress and all our hunting gear, about as much stuff as he can fit in his $53K+ Land Cuiser! The sunroof on the 2000 is by far the biggest Ive ever seen on any car. I feel much safer knowing my wifes Tropper has Torque on Demand which is a great saftey feature, especially for rainy or icey conditions, not mention... mud! (my 96 just has the regular 4x4.

  2000 Isuzu Trooper S 4x4 - 2000 Isuzu Trooper
  By sastzh - October 6 - 1:40 am

  So far so good. The only problem Ive had with the vehicle so far is an intermittent problem with the computer performance module. It has had to be reprogrammed three times. When problems arise it starts to buck and idle rough when cold...

  PERFECT FOR 33000 MILES AND STILL GOING - 2000 Isuzu Trooper
  By smokeyjoeca - August 5 - 2:00 am

  I purchased the trooper because of its size, the lower case transfer for 4wd, and its value. Sticker was $31k; got it for $23,500. Perfect car. Not one single factory repair or defect. Other than routine maintenance, new tires and a battery, the car still looks brand new. The on-the-fly 4wd, and snow handling capabilities of this car are awesome. The 10 year, 120,000 mile powertrain warranty is a big plus. I would recommend this as a used car purchase without reservations. Its a bargain. Isuzu quit making Troopers this year. The Ascender is a re-badged Chevy. I give this car a hearty 9 out of ten rating.

  Trooper S model 2000 - 2000 Isuzu Trooper
  By jeepinarmyman - June 24 - 3:23 pm

  I bought the bottom of the line base model with no options. I am very impressed with the ride quality, interior comfort, standard features and interior capacity. I have towed a trailer reaching the maximum towing capacity of the vehicle 300 miles on a hot Texas day including about an hour of stop and go traffic in Dallas and had no difficulties what so ever. Off pavement driving requires more firm, other than factory shocks. 235/85R16 oversized tires fit with no modifications and no negative effects on drive quality of fuel economy. One negative is that only one company (ARB) supports the vehicle as far as aftermarket parts are concerned. Overall I am very satisfied.

  I have taken very very good care of this vehicle, only driven about 10,000 miles per year, has 97k on it now, had to replace **expensive** parts, transmission, and more. Warranty paid for most. My opinion, Isuzu needs to take better care of their consumers, think twice before buying Isuzu.
