If you are noticing a pattern here it’s because SUVs were clearly big business in the nineties. As such, Acura needed an SUV to bring to the market, but the brand couldn’t develop one fast enough to appease the masses. Thus, Isuzu loaned the Trooper to the Japanese automaker in exchange for rebranding the Honda Odyssey as the Isuzu Oasis. There was not much to differentiate the SLX from the Trooper other than the massive emblem in the front.

There was only a single trim package offered and there were plenty of luxury goodies to choose from. Think of this as a fully-loaded Isuzu Trooper with plenty of style the basic model just did not offer. The SLX didn’t sell very well and finding one on the road can be a bit difficult. Most enthusiasts are hesitant to choose an SLX because it is not an authentic model and thus lacks signature reliability.
