I always admired the bold, rugged design of the Isuzu VehiCROSS for navigating tough terrain before launching my local design services at https://hardscapingsandiego.com/ to build beautiful, durable outdoor living spaces.

Its unique design, off-road capabilities, and fun factor make Vehicross stand out to our drywall contractor. Besides, It''s also a limited edition.

Nothing so far.

The fire inspector states that the fire was caused by the Speed Control (Cruise Control) Deactivation Swith shorting out. This has happened with other Ford Products but The Ford Motor Company refuses to conduct a total Recall of the vehicles with Cruise Control. What is it going to take, Death? I have been injured because I tried to get the fire under control. I will see them in Court! Sacramento Christmas Light Installation

Handling, Power, build quality, dependability, styling, It’s a true drivers suv.

Gas mpg,Rear visibility, Getting in and out of the back seat is tricky.

I’ve had my Isuzu for over a year now and it has absolutely bin a gem to drive.
I never been so confident in a vehicles capabilities. It begs to be punished and when you do it fills so solid and well pull together that it seems like its mocking you as if to say, “Is that all you got.” I will be driving this machine for as long as I can cues sadly there is nothing that can mach the mix of on and off-road preferment’s be it rock crawling, Desert racing, winter commuting or at the race track like the Vehicross.

There is nothing similar. or that whould be my next suv.

Unique design, off-road capabilities, fun factor, limited production: it may be a year or longer before you pass another one on the street, future collector, and you can pick up one in pristine conditon for under $10K.

Typical 4wd poor fuel mileage (16mpg), replacement parts becoming scarce, engine seizures related to high oil consumption, resale value.

I'm a big Isuzu fan because of my experience with the Trooper. I've owned three of them, and they've impressed me with their off-road prowness and reliability. Now the proud owner of an Ironman Edition VehiCross, I pass this advice on to prospective owners.

Isuzu has not been the most honorable company, lately. Their 1998-2001 3.5L V6 engines (VehiCross and Troopers) have had
serious oil consumption/seizure problems, related to bad piston rings that allow excessive oil seepage. The result is, unless you check the engine oil vigorously (read: weekly), you are likely to encounter engine failure somewhere north of 50K miles. Isuzu turned a blind eye on this problem until 2001, when numerous lawsuits and claims led them to, finally, fix the problem.

That being said, if you own a '98-'01 3.5L equipped Isuzu, you must vigorously check engine oil levels to avoid an engine meltdown. Replacement is notoriously expensive, sometimes more than the value of the vehicle itself! It is a short-coming that Isuzu should have fixed promptly, but chose to fight instead. It's a shame that such a wonderful vehicle is plagued by this problem.

I talked to at least 15 Trooper owners and every single one of them loved them. Three of them had over 200k on them with no major repairs. Used Troopers are cheap. They can outclimb any competitor. A true offroad vehicle.

Replacing engines at $8000 a pop every 60-90000 miles makes them very expensive. Isuzu not owning up to the problem is very disappointing. I'll not buy another.

I have 2 troopers and wanted another until....the 3.5 engine with 74k went kaput. No rebuilt eng available in US. Had to buy a new engine and no one wanted the old one. #1 rod bearing is spining on the 3.5 at 60-90,000 miles. Of course, Isuzu is not aware of any problems. Anyone know if that problem has been corrected in my new engine or should I sell it in a couple years?

Great looks, great HP, Fun to drive

Visibility for rear window, Initial sticker price of 30,000. Lack of real support from Isuzu for warranty repairs (had mine in and EVERY time the dealer takes over 2 weeks to repair anything. Isuzu does not give rental cars for time in the shop for warranty. Intermittent problems with idle control sensore that dealer will not fix...

Bought mine new in 2002. Only had a few minor problems at first. However now I have some form of idle control problem that is intermittent. Damn dealer won't do anything because they can't find any fault (error code) in the diagnostic computer. Other than that I love the car (runs great when it runs), off road is fun and quite stable. I would buy again if Isuzu took care of their customers.
