General Comments
I love my Isuzu Trooper. It is the 2001S model with TOD auto transmission. It is used by the wife for her daily trip to work. Our most enjoyment is when we do 4 wheeling in the mountains of SW Colorado. We shock the Jeep lovers when we idle over the toughest trails and obstacles where the set up Jeeps get into trouble. One example is the extremely dangerous class 5 Black bear trail from Ouray over to Telluried Colorado. When we finished the trail this last July 5th 2002, we were told by the 4x4 tour operators that they had never seen another Trooper do the Black Bear.
We really love our Trooper, I did add 31 inch BFG TA KO all terrain tires. The stock tires might get you in trouble. Get one and enjoy it. Our Trooper was bought as A program vehicle with only 10K miles, and we saved $10,000.00, what a deal.
