What Owners are Saying About the 1997 Isuzu Trooper

"good truck"

"Bought my 94 in 2003 w 128k I have replaced a lot of parts some broke and some as pm All AC components Water pump Starter Power steer pump Plug wires One frt. rotor Alternator It does ride and drive great...cruise on highway works great if you can go 60mph...you can get 19mpg Would buy a new one for $25k if they still made it Have been able to get any part from NAPA at fair cost...."

"Best Car"

"I have owned this car since it was new. I have driven it 142,000 miles and only replaced the starter at 120,000. It drives good and pulls my boat OK. It is comfortable on long trips and has a lot of cargo space. The only problem is oil consumption as it gets older. I think it can be solved by a good flush of the oil rings using Seafoam in the cylinders overnight. I am trying this now. I have owned many cars and many of them luxury models and this is among the best all around I have had for no problems. Still looks good and fun to drive."
