Isuzu Trooper

The Isuzu Trooper is a type of SUV that was made by the Isuzu company. It became known for having safety issues that made it tip over easily, especially in the 1990s.

Concept

80s conversion van

In the 1980s, some vans were specially modified to include things like beds and kitchens, making them great for family trips. These are called conversion vans.

LIVE

Just around the Azuzu Trooper, people might not know that there was something done like 2020

or nightline, if anybody remembers, they did a story on the Azuzu Trooper tipping over.

It did.

And that's when it started its demise within the United States.

It's funny that you mentioned that, because I saw the whole family, I was doing something.

I think I was grocery shopping the other night, and I saw this whole family get out

of one of these small RVs, almost like the 80s conversion, they're really tall, they're

almost like the worker box band.

They're popular these days for trips.

Are they ever?

Man, the whole family piles out, and this thing looked like it was going to tip over

sit next to Chick-fil-A.

I was like, holy croak.
