The 5D MONTEREY 3.1 TD from 1992 is among the earliest Monterey entries and shows the five-door long version of the Opel off-roader that comes from Isuzu. The designation 3.1 TD stands for the turbocharged diesel engine, which delivers 84 kW from 3,050 cm³ displacement.
At 4,550 mm long the five-door offers more room for passengers and luggage than the short version; the width of 1,750 mm is common to the whole range. The kerb weight is 2,040 kg and the permissible gross weight 2,600 kg, so the ladder-frame construction decides payload and trailer load.
The comparison with later three-door versions of the series is interesting: their displacement figure is marginally higher in the data sources. Such small deviations are not unusual for displacement figures and may stem from rounding or from changes to the engine. For owners this means sticking to the papers of the individual vehicle when ordering spare parts.
Opel Monterey – light-commercial registration of the badge-engineered Isuzu Trooper from the GM-Isuzu tie-up, with the 4JG2 turbodiesel, 6VD1 V6 petrol and 4JX1-TC, 84 kW, around 1.9 to 2.1 tonnes unladen
This page gathers the Opel Monterey versions the register carries as a light commercial vehicle. The Monterey shares its body with the Isuzu Trooper and grew out of the cooperation between General Motors and Isuzu; in Britain it was sold as the Vauxhall Monterey. The range was in the programme through the 1990s. The model names of the versions listed here name the engines directly: the 3.1-litre 4JG2 turbodiesel, the 3.2-litre 6VD1 V6 petrol engine and the later common-rail 4JX1-TC.

The register lists here 8 versions with 84 kW from four- to six-cylinders of 2,999 to 3,165 cm³, unladen weights from 1,888 to 2,080 kg, a gross weight of 2,295 to 2,600 kg, lengths from 4,270 to 4,550 mm and widths from 1,750 to 1,840 mm.
The Monterey was Opel's answer to the large off-road SUVs of the 1990s and targeted buyers looking for a rugged four-wheel-drive vehicle with towing capacity; its registration as a commercial vehicle also made it attractive to business owners. In Japan and North America the same design was sold as the Isuzu Trooper and Acura SLX.
On used examples, the injection pump and glow-plug system matter on the 4JG2 turbodiesel, the timing chain and cooling system on the 6VD1 petrol engine, rust and worn universal joints on the ladder frame and axles, and the door shuts on the body; parts run through the Isuzu and Opel networks.
