Honda's luxury division issued a more posh version of the full-size Isuzu Trooper sport-utility vehicle in 1996. Built in Japan by Isuzu, the SLX got a different grille, wheels, and exterior/interior trim, as well as more luxury features than a Trooper offers. Available in base form or with a Premium Package, all SLX models had an automatic transmission, whereas Troopers could have manual shift. Power came from a 3.2-liter V6 engine that produced 190 horsepower. The 4-wheel-drive, 5-passenger wagon had four side doors and dual swing-out rear doors (split 70/30). A two-speed transfer case provided low-range 4-wheel-drive gearing. Shifting between 2WD and 4WD High could be accomplished at speeds up to 60 mph. Standard equipment included dual airbags, 4-wheel antilock braking, air conditioning, a 6-speaker sound system with cassette player, power windows, and power door locks. An optional Premium Package added leather upholstery, heated power front seats, and a power moonroof, among other extras. SLX rivals included the GMC Yukon and Lincoln Navigator, as well as the lower-cost Chevrolet Tahoe and Ford Expedition.
