If you’re hunting for an ultra-rare 4×4 with concept-car styling, look no further. Garage Kept Motors in Grand Rapids, Michigan offered this 2001 Isuzu VehiCROSS S for $13,900, and it’s one of just 120 examples finished in Foxfire Red Mica. Rare, capable, and fun, this VehiCROSS is the kind of quirky collectible that deserves a loving home—and a spot in any serious off-road enthusiast’s collection.

The Model

Outside of the Isuzu Impulse, which had its own cult following, Isuzu was primarily known as an SUV specialist—responsible for icons like the Trooper and Rodeo throughout the 1980s, 1990s, and early 2000s. But tucked within that lineup was one of the most daring production vehicles of its era: the Isuzu VehiCROSS, sold in the United States from 1999 to 2001.

Decades ahead of its time, the VehiCROSS was a compact, sporty two-door crossover SUV before “crossovers” were even a thing. It featured bold styling, short overhangs, a forward stance, and an aggressive fascia with fang-like grilles and black cladding that wrapped around the lower body for protection on the trail. Under the hood sat a 3.5-liter V6, borrowed from the Trooper, producing 215 horsepower and 230 lb-ft of torque—plenty for both road and trail.

Off-road, the VehiCROSS was more than a fashion statement. It featured BorgWarner’s Torque-On-Demand (TOD) 4×4 system, combining a computer-controlled all-wheel-drive setup for pavement with a low-range four-wheel-drive mode for serious terrain. Twelve sensors continuously monitored wheel slip, redirecting torque to the wheels with the most traction. Combined with a body-on-frame chassis and a robust suspension setup, the VehiCROSS was as tough as it was stylish.

Despite its capability, only 4,153 units were ever built during its three-year run. The reason? Its innovative ceramic stamping die process. Isuzu used ceramic dies to produce the VehiCROSS’s body panels—an ingenious cost-saving measure that cut tool costs in half and sped up production. The downside? Ceramic dies wore out quickly. After just three years, the tooling was shot, and so ended the short but fascinating life of the VehiCROSS.

The Specs

This bone-stock VehiCROSS S shows 139,280 miles and remains in great condition throughout. The Foxfire Red Mica paint still shines brightly, and aside from minor wear like light cracking on the front seats, this example presents beautifully for its age.
