The record

The second Trooper was a full-size rival to the Land Cruiser and Pajero and sold widely in Europe and Australia; a 1996 Consumer Reports rollover verdict damaged its American reputation and Isuzu lost the lawsuit that followed. The D-Max and MU-X took Isuzu’s four-wheel-drive line after 2002.

AI rendering impression

An AI rendering impression starts from a 3D model of this vehicle, which an image model then paints into a scene. It is an artist's impression of the type, made to give a feel for the vehicle in its element — not a photograph, and not a record of any particular vehicle.

Proportions, fittings, markings, colours and the setting can all drift from the original in the process. For the vehicle's actual details, rely on the specification, the photographs and the cited sources on this page.
