does the trooper have the same engine/maintenance requirements as the VX, if so, does anybody have problems to have their VX serviced at an isuzu dealer, the reason I am asking this is that the isuzu dealer in my city has never serviced a VX, but they do service the trooper, so if the engine is the same, I will feel more at rest if they be able to service my VX correctly
thanks for any input,you guys have been great
Same engine - Rodeo, Trroper, Honda Passport, VehiCROSS - as long as it is the 3.5L Some of these came with different engine sizes over the years
The VehiCROSS is a Trooper, just with a different body and improved suspension.
But isn't the VX based on the Japanese shortened 2-door Trooper platform that was never sold in the US?
I edited the last two posts and eliminated descriptive words:

In 1993 and 1995 the SWB Trooper was again available, this time in the 2nd Gen bodystyle with the new 3.2L DOHC engine. I don't know the total numbers on these, but they're pretty scarce. Overseas the SWB option was always available and looked pretty sharp in trail-trim with the hood scoop for the intercooled turbo-diesel.
Heh... the name reminds me of the movie "The Fifth Element":Quote:

The Fifth Element is my #1 favorite movie! However I run into lots of people who didn't like it or "get" it - unbelievable?
Anyone else listen to her on the commentary track of Resident Evil at the end, where she wakes up in the hospital? That chick is hilarious.
