Pros: It WILL get you there. Parking, reliability excellent. Comfortable and roomy. Rustproofing fantastic.
Cons: At 150K started to use oil pretty badly.
The Bottom Line: Best I ever owned.
I got hit the other day and my '94, 3.2 Liter, 5 speed Trooper is totalled. This was my favorite of all the vehicles I've ever owned. In the winter I kept narrow winter tread tires on it and left it in two wheel drive until the roads got so ... read more

Pros: Goes Anywhere, Well Built, Plenty of Room, Sound Engine
Cons: 4X4 has to be put in while stopped
The Bottom Line: I'll keep on, keeping on with my Trooper until it can't keep on any more.
My 1994 Isuzu Trooper has been to Canada. It's seen an ocean, mountains, and desert. All trips starting from my Central Illinois home. My Trooper did a 60 mile round trip 5 or 6 days a week for 6 years. It's still going. 200,000 miles and ... read more

Pros: Price,Value,Looks.Well made.
Cons: Parts prices/availability. Fluid Leaks.
The Bottom Line: A really sound value to give serious consideration to when looking for a bigger SUV.
I purchased my trooper with 170,000 miles on it. I usually would not consider a vehicle with so many miles, but, the trooper was a nice clean looking suv.It caught my eye on a local car lot. Some say it looks boxy. I say it looks clean. Straight ... read more

Pros: Roomy, Sleek, Comfortable for tall people. Great for dogs. Very maneuverable.
Cons: Gas costs.
The Bottom Line: It's a great SUV, the best around for a good price too.

Pros: Cargo space, comfortable ride for a truck based SUV, can be found quite cheap.
Cons: Some reliability problems, very-poor gas mileage, can be rusty if driven in heavily salted areas.
The Bottom Line: For those looking at SUVs purely for cargo and passenger hauling capabilities the Trooper is a strong contender, and 4WD is a bonus for northern winters.

Pros: Won't die. Spacious work horse. Top end features at midmarket prices.
Cons: Would prefer a hatch in the back.
The Bottom Line: A spacious, well powered, reliable vehicle.
The 1994 Trooper was/is the most bang for the buck on the market. Though approaching an upper end SUV in standard features and quality,it has never quite gained acceptance from the Lexus/Range Rover/Landcruiser set. Consequently, you can get upper ... read more

When my daughter was born in 1991, the need to have a "safe" car suddenly became a reality. No more driving my parents' hand-me-down cars, no more little bitty tin cans...I needed a REAL car. The first car I bought after she was born was a ... read more

Pros: Lots of cargo space- plus roomy for passengers
Cons: Isuzu doesn't make Troopers for 7+ passengers
We were looking at a Jeep Grand Cherokee when we saw the Trooper which had just had the body redesigned by Isuzu. At the time, we knew very little about the Trooper. The price was right and we needed a larger car. We decided to take a chance. ... read more
