This Year's Model Updates:

A two-wheel-drive model is available in the S trim, as well as the new midlevel LS and top-level Limited guises; all receive slight exterior restyling. The 10-year/120,000-mile powertrain warranty, the longest in America, ensures longevity.

Pros:
  • Huge interior, good off-road ability, outstanding visibility.
Cons:
  • Trucklike handling that is less refined than some of the competition.

  • My zuzu needs work after 120k, but hey! - 2000 Isuzu Trooper
    By -

    Bought about 18 mos ago. Never thought Id want to drive an SUV, but somehow its NOT big and cumbersome. Everything Ive read about power, cargo, visibility, handling I must support. Its great! Had an overheating problem but a new thermostat fixed it. The A/C fan does need to be beefier (mine is out now) and my trans has been failing for 6 months or so. One week it drives fine,and the next is awful- suddenly free-spinning and losing speed in traffic. Im told there is a leak, but its a "closed system", I cant check or add tranny fluid. The tranny must be REPLACED, cannot be rebuilt. I found a local shop that will do it for 1600.00. Every other owner I run into raves about their Trooper

    Good Vehicle for those that enjoy a combination of style, speed and power.

  • WHERE HAVE ALL THE TROOPERS GONE??? - 2000 Isuzu Trooper

    I have yet to have a problem. Check engine light came on, but it was due to emissions. I live in TN so that is not a problem. :) I really enjoy the ride. It is a 2000 and it turns heads when I pull up to the light. I enjoy riding in it and I hate that I ride it so much that gas mileage is a bit off. Highway=ok, city=stinks.

    This is my 2nd Trooper. The first was a 94 LS that had too many things that I didnt need such as the headlight wipers. I have the 2 grand S that would be excellent if it had the arm rests, luggage racks and side steps as standard features. Other than that you have a combination of beauty, speed & power.

    We have had no problems with this vehicle to date. Back seat is extremely comfortable for the kids when traveling.

    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!).

    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 -

    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.

    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.
