The Isuzu Trooper, produced from 1984 to 1991, marked a significant shift in the landscape of sport utility vehicles. This first-generation Trooper, built on the chassis of the Isuzu Fargo, offered a robust and capable off-road experience, appealing to a growing market seeking adventure and practicality. The Trooper was available in three trim levels: the base model, the LS, and the luxurious RS. All models were powered by a 2.3-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, generating a respectable 90 horsepower. While this engine was adequate for its time, early Troopers were known for their relatively slow acceleration and modest towing capacity. However, the Trooper's strength lay in its sturdy construction, featuring a ladder-frame chassis and robust suspension components. The rigid axle design, particularly in the rear, provided exceptional ground clearance and off-road articulation, allowing the Trooper to tackle challenging terrain with ease.
The Isuzu Trooper of this era was also praised for its comfort and versatility. The spacious cabin comfortably accommodated five passengers, while the fold-down rear seats provided ample cargo space. The high driving position offered excellent visibility, and the vehicle's handling was surprisingly agile for a truck-based SUV. Despite its rugged nature, the Trooper surprisingly offered a comfortable ride, thanks to its independent front suspension and leaf spring rear setup. Notably, the Trooper's design was timeless, featuring a simple, yet elegant aesthetic that emphasized functionality over flash. This understated design has contributed to the vehicle's enduring popularity with off-road enthusiasts and classic car collectors alike. However, the Trooper's production cycle during this era was relatively short, as the model was redesigned in 1992. The 1984-1991 Trooper remains a testament to Isuzu's commitment to creating reliable and capable SUVs, leaving its mark on the history of the off-road vehicle market.
