Isuzu Trooper (92-03) - Review

Review by Parkers on
The long-running Trooper is popular for its durability, versatility and chunky styling. It's not the most civilised road vehicle, but it's a fine workhorse for agricultural use and for towing. Not as nearly as refined as a Range Rover, Grand Cherokee or Shogun, Trooper is very tough and costs considerably less to buy than the opposition. The current range, launched in mid-1998, features the most powerful turbo-diesel engine available in this class of vehicle. It's not posh and it's not cool, but it's a very effective tool for a tough job.

Comfort

There's plenty of space inside this tank. Rear passengers have lots of room and an extra row of seats can even be specified, but the ride and refinement are crude. Better than clinging to a tractor, though.

Practicality

The five-door offers more space than its shorter three-door relation, although both are roomy. Rear seats split-fold on all models for extra load carrying capacity.

Behind the wheel

You can spec it to suit your needs, be that leather seated comfort, or easy to clean velour. Either way the dash and fittings are rather plasticky. Offers a lofty driving position - you really can look down on RAV-4s.
