Think i've seen a couple about. Seems another strange fusion like Fiesta & Mazda 121...
    How do you get a car sideways & what is opposite lock? I've heard about it but could never condone such irresponsible practices.

   Tut. From an admin as well....really! ::)

Troopers are great for towing the Horse box, better than a Range Rover IMHO as they have more room and are more comfortable.

The 3.1 Diesel isn't too bad either (plenty of torque for towing), Friend has a K reg one that has never failed an MOT yet!

I had the 3.1 diesal auto Isuzu Trooper Bighorn Irmscher - jap import 1995 on a M plate but you wouldn't know it. Fully loaded, digital climate, recaros, electric folding mirrors etc. - 7 seater and in black, absolutely brilliant towcar :y
