A Isuzu will get walked over by a Terrano / Maverick td or TDi in standard spec all bar a set of mud tyres

FACT

Myself & Pete don't follow 1 of the Bonkas lads as he gets stuck at the smallest hurdle & he has said him self he wishes heed kept his Vitara as that's better than the Isuzu.

Power isn't everything off road.!

I've not driven one but the trooper we know and have battled with is just too heavy and seems to be short of clearance, even though it had a suspension lift. I cant remember what tyres it had on though.
He had steering problems too, just like the terrano

it is odd as the big horn has 210mm of ground clearance which was more than the mav i had, i havnt caught the base yet altho i did on the mav all the time

also it only 100kg between the t2 and trooper

Is the horn longer then? Could have been he had a bad tyre choice

As opposed to slating the Isuzu trooper or bighorn may I suggest something slightly different. How about some ideas on what models are worth keeping an eye out for and what ones to be avoided and what standard spec's are good to have on particular models.
There are a lot of the troopers or bighorns out there and often at good prices and it would be good to know what one's might be a good buy and which to avoid. (I have been told avoid the 2000 onwards 3.0ltr because of engine design fault).

Isuzu is the name of a river that flows past a Japanese shrine. The word means "fifty bells pealing in harmony and celebration
