Isuzu Trooper Review in the Philippines
Isuzu Trooper Specs and Performance
During its relatively short stint in the Philippine market, the specs of the Isuzu Trooper are dependable enough to address different driving needs. The 3.0 DOHC engine produced decent amounts of power, even by today’s standards. You can expect the 4-speed automatic transmission engine to churn out a maximum 160hp at 3900rpm and 333Nm at 2000rpm. You can find the same engine aboard all the trim levels of the SUV.
The other components of the Isuzu Trooper include parts that were considered standard in the late 90s but outdated today. Some of the components that make up the Isuzu Trooper include an independent, coil wishbone front suspension, a 4-link rear suspension with coil springs, vented discs for front brakes, solid discs for rear brakes, 245 / 70 R16 tires, and 16” alloy wheels. Isuzu Trooper reviews made by local and foreign pundits praise the SUV for being a classic example of a high-performance vehicle. The unbelievable power packed by the Trooper’s machine is worth praising, especially given that it’s been more than a decade since the Trooper line was discontinued to give way to the Isuzu D-Max.
