98-2002 trooper had a 3.5L V6 that makes 215 HP. Thanks for the credit in the video! 😎

Samurais were super popular in the late 80's and early 90's, super easy to work on. They were tough little rigs.

hey my xterra made the video, awesome! nice video! :D

Cool video I enjoyed it but they are pronounced EESUZU!

I had a rx330 and it was surprisingly good off-road

Isuzu 3.2 was a V6. Awesome trucks!

Good thing you include the Isuzus in your video! Just to correct the 3.2 was not an inline 4, it was a v6 engine :)

"I-SUZU" lol FYI buddy, it's pronounced E-ZUZU. Sorry, been a car guy for 40 years. I use to sell new Suzuki's and let me tell ya, they were VERY reliable! They also were a great value as they were typically the cheapest apples to apples. They left the US because American's weren't buying them at any price because they weren't fast, fancy or eye catching. Update yourself to the end of 2022 and I defy you to find a Samurai for $1,500 that doesn't need at least $5k worth of work right away. Good running, clean examples can go for $6k+ to $10k to even over $20k at this moment. The XTERA is an excellent example of a very capable off road warrior that is every bit as capable and nearly as reliable as the Toyota's and you avoid the dreaded "Toyota Tax" (Toyota tax= Paying a lot more just cuz it's a Toyota). As far as the Rav4 and the Lexus 300 or 330, I wouldn't ever put them in an "OFF ROAD" or "OVERLAND" category. As reliable as they are and although you could take them on some muddy trails, they will be left behind by the 4Runners, Land Cruisers, Isuzu's, etc, etc. when the road gets aggressively rough. The general rule of thumb here is AWD's are good for trails but anything more aggressive than a trail, you'll want an actual 4X4 with an option of low range 4X4. Lastly, when I think "Overland" vehicle, I think of something I can camp in, so keep in mind what type of interior space you'd be happy with if you so choose to truly overland camp inside the vehicle.

2 years ago I picked up my 2010 Xterra Off Road for $5.1k. Comparable Xterras are going for $10k+ now with the used car market spike

My 2wd Xterra is lifted on 32s and is still super capable

Trooper II was awesome. Too bad they do not make square body offroaders like that anymore!

You know you're young if you call it an EYE-suzu. 😂

Could you do a video on overlanding with Hondas?

I loved my Xterra. Unfortunately the pink milkshake of death got it.

I wished my automatic trooper had a 5th gear. Its hard to find a stick shift and the automatic has shitty gas mileage

The problem is being able to find some of these in decent condition 😩

“ if your like many people and you hate Jeeps”… why people hating on Jeeps? Lol

every samuri is v8 swapped. that i have ever rode in

I had an Isuzu and it wasn’t reliable at all, not saying you are wrong, probably bad luck

also if you own and drive a nissan ex. that's how i know you like to break down and like to sit down to pee

this kid clearly hasn't ever been off the pavement... rav4 lol

It’s pronounced issoozoo rather than eyesuezoo

Dawg u ain’t slick h stole the entire part of the rx from a website

dude watch your own video please.... the spot where you say how capable the lexus is gotta be a joke right? jeeps and Fj's and such could easily go over that log.... but the Lexus with its All WHEEL drive system is not off road worthy. one look at that ground clearance. two to make it off road worthy. you would have to make it a 4x4 (meaning it would need a transfer case) final point look at the shitty turn radius it had to use to go around that tree branch...

It is not pronounced "eye" lol

Bro plagiarized a whole section of this video from a forum

Wow this was hard to listen to, please double check your facts before you create a video.
