The Isuzu V engine is a family of all-aluminum 75° V6 gasoline engines produced by Isuzu.LocostUSA.com, September 24, 2014 [https://www.locostusa.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=15737&start=75 Thinking about you guys. (Isuzu v6)] They feature either a belt-driven SOHC or DOHC valvetrain. Later versions feature direct ignition as well as gasoline direct injection. These engines are notable for their early adoption of gasoline direct injection technology and also for their uncommon 75° cylinder head bank angle.

The first generation of 6VD1 3.2 L SOHC and 6VD1-W DOHC V6 engines were used from 1992 to 1995. The original SOHC 6VD1 produced {{cvt|175|hp|kW}} at 4,888 RPM and {{cvt|188|lbft|Nm}} of torque. The first generation DOHC 6VD1-W was featured only in RS and some LS trim Trooper/Bighorns between 1992 and 1995, outputting {{cvt|195|hp|kW}} at 5600 RPM and {{cvt|195|lbft|Nm}} of torque at 3600 RPM.{{cite web|title=BIGHORN オフ最強 ５つの秘密（いすゞ販促ビデオ）|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wqhA8IqkOzc|work=Youtube.com|accessdate=Feb 21, 2021}} This DOHC variant had low impedance injectors as well as a higher compression ratio than the SOHC, necessitating the use of a knock sensor.
The second generation SOHC 6VD1 made {{cvt|190|hp|kW}} from 1996 to 1997.{{cite web|title=Isuzu Rodeo specs|url=http://www.edmunds.com/isuzu/rodeo/1996/st-3784/features-specs/|work=Edmunds.com|accessdate=Feb 25, 2016}} In 1998, the same engine was available in DOHC form with {{cvt|205|hp|kW}} as the 6VD1-W. It was produced until 2002 with the termination of the Isuzu Trooper. Both versions feature a {{convert|93.4|mm|in|abbr=on}} bore and a {{convert|77.0|mm|in|abbr=on}} stroke, giving it a total displacement of {{convert|3165|cc|cid|abbr=on}}.
