Re: Isuzu VehiCROSS
The thing is definatley cool. I've been feverishly searching (indeed using google) and I found a forum, full of active users.
http://www.vehicross.info
I should probably get some good info there. Yeah, they are older (I guess they never took off...) But if you get think about it, parts shouldn't be too hard to come by, because it is an Isuzu after all. I drive a '96 Acura SLX (an Isuzu Trooper in a tuxedo, basically), and it has not only been very reliant, but repairs aren't awful at all, plus parts are still easy to come by.
I'm anxious to read on their forums how they do off road. It's definately a unique truck, that's for sure.

Re: Isuzu VehiCROSS
I had two of them before my H2. Some 31's on it and you have a pretty decent off-roader, because of it very short wheelbase. The AWD transmisson functions pretty close to the way the H2 does (except for the full locking rear diff) 40/60 Torque on Demand normal mode, 4 hi 50/50 and it has 4 low w/Limited slip diff . Comes stock w/remote res shocks. Can easliy lift it by flipping the front ball joints and put longer coils in back to fit 33's on it.

Re: Isuzu VehiCROSS
How was maintenance costs and all that? Was it a decent vehicle in your experiance, or did you hate them? I'm totally being OCD, but I love the thing!

Re: Isuzu VehiCROSS
Great vehicle, only expensive maintence issue was getting trans flushed and the front wheel bearings repacked every 30k for about 600 or 700 dollars. Make sure that you compression check all of the cylinders and check for main bearing leaks. Some vehicross had engine failure due to the engine being put together wrong at the factory. If it has a new engine even better. Some also had some power window issues.

Re: Isuzu VehiCROSS
The front end looks like a snake head with fangs coming out of the grill. It's looks better than a lot of other fuglys.
