Description
1999 Isuzu Vehicross. Runs and drives. Noise from rear end when pulling out from a stop, but not when driving. Transmission shifts fine. I was going to fix up but have too many other projects to deal with. ...
Our Take:
- Rarity Factor: The Isuzu VehiCROSS is a bit of a unicorn among SUVs. Between 1997 and 2001, only about 4,153 units were produced worldwide, with just 4,153 making it to the U.S. market. Its low production numbers make it a gem for collectors looking for something that stands out from the crowd.
- Innovative Design: Sporting a futuristic look, the VehiCROSS was a head-turner with its aggressive stance and unique cladding. Isuzu wanted it to look as though it belonged on Mars—long before the Rover was even cool. This design was a statement, making it an icon of late 90s automotive experimentation.
- Off-Road Capability: While the SUV market back then was flooded with mall crawlers, the VehiCROSS was built to tackle the trails. It featured a robust 4WD system and was equipped with the Torque-on-Demand (TOD) system, giving it genuine off-road prowess. Even today, it's renowned for its ability to switch easily from street to dirt.
- Material Tech: A fun tidbit about its creation—the VehiCROSS employed a ceramic stamping process for its body panels, an unusual choice that gave it a rugged, distinctive feel. This was both a blessing and a curse for repairs, but it certainly adds a layer of intrigue to those interested in unique manufacturing techniques.
