Isuzu Trooper

Seen through the windshield on August 8, 2015 was this 2nd-Gen Isuzu Trooper.


The Isuzu Trooper is all finished, I guess, but was, according to wikipedia, a mid-size SUV produced by the Japanese automaker Isuzu between 1981 and 2005. 

It was exported internationally under a variety of names, one of them was the eponymous Isuzu Trooper.

In total, there were two generations of this vehicle: the first, produced between 1981 and 1991; and the second produced between 1991 to 1997, with a substantial refresh in 1998. 

Its production ended in 2005.


I think I saw them before in Moscow and in greater number in the recent past but their sightings dwindle as it has been 10 years already since end of production. 



Here are some Isuzu Trooper pictures in a stream from a recent Jalopnik post.




A 1998 Isuzu Trooper was also the vehicle of the principal character played by Jack Nicholson in the 2001 Sean Penn movie The Pledge.


I saw the movie on a DVD, it is a crime drama and has an open ending of sorts... 

The Isuzu featured prominently in the film, although the plot wasn't based on it in any way.
