Awesome All Around Suv — Bought this car with only 42K miles on it and have driven it for the past 12 years! All in all the car has been amazingly reliable and good to me. Have done mostly wear and tear items with a couple exceptions including rebuilding the cams, which almost made me sell the truck. However the dealer at the time told me these trucks last until 300,000 miles and so far he was right! Was one of best decisions I ever made.

Fun And Rough. — This car is a really good when its running good. Mine has had a rough past. You can tell some teenagers off-roaded the crap out of it. It does have a few engine issues but all the engine needs is some new cam head gaskets and a patch on the radiator and it will be quite sturdy. Mine has a 3.2 V6. Great powerhouse, just needs some work. Very nice though. Fun to drive.

Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.)

Pros

Nice and roomy but not huge, decent gas mileage and good exterior styling.

Cons

like all Isuzus with the 3.2L SOHC V6 it have a lifter tick, but just turn up the radio and it goes away.

4wd Grocery Getter — This truck has given 250,000 miles of great service, with very minimal issues. The 3.2l V6 is nice and peppy even when mated to the automatic gearbox. I think the styling is better than most current SUVs out there, although the interior is an ugly beige color. My wife drives this everyday and has said she has no interest in getting rid of it for a newer SUV

Great little SUV for what it can do.

Cons

Fun doesnt last long without needing work.

Fun While It Lasts. — The overall build looks pretty solid, but after some 4x4 driving it seems to take a dive and though the vehicle is equiped with the tools to offroad, it doesnt seem like they tested the strength of some of the components.
