General Comments
I am now driving my second Trooper -- I am sold on this as one of the best true 4x4 vehicles (as opposed to the Ford Explorer-type SUVs that really are not intended to go off-road). It is very strong, the 4 wheel drive system is flawless, and will go just about anywhere. I like the solid feel of the framed truck (not a unibody). Isuzu finishes the vehicle very well, too. Nice attention to detail. Mechanically I have never had a problem with a Trooper. Would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a full-size SUV.

I love my shiny black 2001 Trooper S 4x4- and I don't buy ugly cars!

Oh, come on Andy, the Trooper is one of the BEST LOOKING vehicles on the road! I really do think the styling is great -- not too much flash and plastic like so many SUVs. Just goes to show that we all have different tastes... Mine just happens to be better (grin).
