The 1998-2003 Isuzu Trooper, a rugged and capable SUV, marked the final generation of this iconic nameplate. While its predecessor, the second-generation Trooper, was renowned for its off-road prowess and reliability, the third generation, produced from 1996 to 2002 (and 2003 for some markets), saw a slight shift in focus. This generation focused more on on-road comfort and refinement while retaining its capability for off-road adventures. Power came from a 3.2-liter, 12-valve, naturally aspirated V6 engine producing 190 horsepower and 210 lb-ft of torque. Paired with a 4-speed automatic transmission, the Trooper offered a smooth and responsive drivetrain. Isuzu continued to offer a part-time 4-wheel drive system with a low-range gear ratio, ideal for navigating challenging terrain.

The Trooper's interior provided ample space and comfort for up to seven passengers, with cloth or leather upholstery options. It included a spacious cargo area, which could be expanded by folding down the rear seats. While the design was no longer as boxy as its older sibling, it still maintained a rugged and distinct look, featuring a large front grille, distinctive taillights, and a higher ground clearance. The Trooper offered several features and amenities including power steering, power windows, and air conditioning. Safety features included dual front airbags, anti-lock brakes, and a robust frame construction. Though production ended in 2002, the 1998-2003 Trooper remains a popular choice among owners looking for a reliable, spacious, and capable SUV for both daily driving and off-road excursions.
