Isuzu Trooper Vehicle Information
The 1998 to 2002 model Isuzu Trooper shares the same body as the 1992 model, however between 1998 and 2002 additional changes made to the vehicle.
Beginning in 1998, Isuzu Troopers in the US were equipped with a DOHC 3.5 L engine producing 215 hp (160 kW; 218 PS). European and Asian buyers could opt for the diesel engine option of the 4JG2 3.1 L (later superseded by the more problematic 4JX1 3.0 L of 159 PS/117 kW). A Borg-Warner torque-on-demand all-wheel-drive system was introduced, along with freshened styling. The grille was redesigned again for the 2000 model year.
Transmission options included a five-speed manual transmission, the Aisin AR5 and the electronically controlled 4L30E four-speed automatic. The 4l30E was fitted with both a 'power' shift feature allowing the gearbox to take better advantage of the engine's power by adjusting the shifting nature and a 'winter' mode permitting third gear starts for added stability in slippery conditions. The 2000 to 2002 Trooper included a feature called 'Grade Logic' which allowed the transmission to automatically downshift on steep grades in order to slow the vehicle down.
The suspension consisted of a fully independent torsion bar front suspension, and a multilink coil sprung rear suspension integrated with a solid rear axle.
The Trooper LS and S models offered 117.8 cu ft (3,340 L) cargo space, while Limited models had 112.3 cu ft
