My info came about the 2000 model year. While I am SURE there is little differece between model years I wasn't going to make statements about different model years.

Also, the Trooper has been rated as one of the Most Dependable SUV after 5 years in 1998 by JD Power, for the 1993 model vehicles. I am sure they do well for other years but I don't have the data.

Interestingly, the Montero scores better in the Initial Quality for the last few years than the Trooper. But Initial Quality is not the same as Most Dependable.
