Used Isuzu Rodeo for Sale

The Isuzu Rodeo is a largely forgotten vehicle that should definitely be considered when shopping for an older 4x4. The rodeo is a classic "two box" design SUV from the days when that term didn't mean a car with a little bit of a lift. It was a full frame and real low-range 4x4 in a package that should now be very affordable. The inside cabin is spacious in the passenger compartment and cargo area. The v6 motor is powerful enough for a vehicle of this size and can handle light towing well.

The one most impressive thing is the engine power. At 200 plus horsepower v6, there is no fear entering highways. The interior is neither undersized or oversized . The shape is somewhat boxy and masculine, which I like. Tires and wheels are sixteen inch. This gives it a truck like appearance. One of the negatives is the interior fabric pattern. It's has a checkered pattern. A solid color would be better. Another negative is how the rear door opens. Instead of opening up or down, it swings to the side after raising the back glass. It is very awkward. The front grill could use a better design.

We have had this car since 2002. The ride is "truck-like", but overall is comfortable. It is reliable. We have had only one major issue with it since we got it. The transmission failed, but the warranty from Isuzu covered the transmission which they replaced. It just took months to get it completely fixed as the transmission came from a factory in France! Replacement parts for this SUV are hard to find as Isuzu no longer makes cars and SUVs.
