Wow, lots of Isuzu trivia in this thread, mostly correct, but not perfect
The Vehicross, commonly referred to as a VX, was made from 99-01, about 4200 total made. This was a planned limited run as all the panel molds were ceramic, with an expected short life expectancy. They were incredibly expensive, at 30kish for a new one and they are all the same. Only options were a roof rack and a dealer installed sunroof/moonroof. The Ironman model is the same as the others, just added some stickers and embroidering. They came stock with Recaro leather seats, the same exact seats that are found in many top end cars today, the Audi S4 comes to mind.
As for the RS, there were about 800 in 89 imported to the US, and several hundred more from 93-95. The total was somewhere in the 1500s.
I happen to have one of each. I have an 01 VX, and pound for pound, buck for buck, I can eat just about any street legal offroad vehicle on the trail. I bought my wife an 93 RS back in the fall. They both are amazing little zombie revolution vehicles. I installed front lockers in both trucks, adjustable suspensions and countless other mods. The VX has 4.30 gears, the RS has 4.56s. The VX has a 2.5:1 crawl gear, the RS a 2.2:1. We love our little trucks, and with 28" of rear suspension travel at stock setup, there isn't a whole lot they can't do!!
I don't know of any new trooper, it also could have been an Acura SLX. Isuzu and Honda got together and Acura, true to form, released a plasticked out fully loaded version of the Trooper.
I just had to touch the rock, it was just a few inches away from the window, and at the offcamber, it looks like its coming into the seat with you:Wow1: The Forest Rangers have since blocked that line due to roll overs and broken windows...
