The Isuzu Trooper, produced from 1998 to 2004, was a mid-size sport utility vehicle (SUV) known for its ruggedness, off-road capabilities, and spacious interior. This generation of the Trooper featured a boxy, utilitarian design with a ladder frame construction, providing a durable foundation for tackling challenging terrain. Power came from a 3.2-liter, inline-four cylinder diesel engine with either a 5-speed manual or a 4-speed automatic transmission. The Trooper offered a range of features, including four-wheel drive with low range gearing, a solid front axle, and generous ground clearance. The interior, though somewhat spartan, provided adequate space for five passengers and their cargo, with features like air conditioning, power steering, and a CD player available depending on the trim level.
The Isuzu Trooper's popularity derived from its combination of off-road capability and practicality. It performed well on unpaved surfaces, thanks to its robust construction and capable drivetrain. Its spacious interior and versatility made it suitable for family outings, camping trips, and even light hauling. However, the Trooper faced stiff competition from other SUVs in the market, and its fuel economy was considered relatively low. Ultimately, Isuzu discontinued the Trooper in 2004 due to declining sales and the rising popularity of car-based SUVs with better fuel efficiency and handling characteristics. Despite its discontinuation, the Isuzu Trooper remains a respected vehicle among off-road enthusiasts for its ruggedness, reliability, and ability to conquer challenging terrain.
