Just curious, do many of you think that Isuzus are not reliable?

My families experience, all purchased new, 1986 Trooper II 190K miles still own; 1999 Trooper 120K miles only reason my parents traded it was my mom finally desided that she wanted an automatic; 2002 Trooper 35Kmiles, currently own.

The only problem of the three is the '86 had to have the head gasket replaced at 150K. 12 years in Phoenix, AZ is brutal.

My experience '97 Jeep Wrangler. 8 months of continous brake problems, pads, rotors, calipers. Catalitic converter at 75K and there was three in the shop on the same day with almost exactly the same mileage. Like clockwork I guess.

I thought that the catalitic converter should last the lifetime of the vehicle, after all my parents '86 still has its original.
