Eighteen years and still going strong!

Bought it with 8 miles on it. Leather seats were added by the dealer-that hooked me! I have loved this vehicle, and it still runs great! While lacking features that newer models included, it was a design ahead of its time. Repainted after 8 years, all other maintenance issues have involved normal wear during 18 years and 245K miles. It has never left me dead in the road, EVER! Worst mpg: 17, running the AC, all in-town driving. Best: 24, on trips w/o AC, and at less than 65 mph. I wouldn't hesitate to drive it to CA tomorrow. I'd planned to just run it until it dies, now at <10K mi. a year. But with the new Cash for Clunkers program, it's worth up to $4500 if traded in. I can't decide.

These are the first generation Rodeos and they are the toughest models. What you get is a simple, bare-bones SUV that suites your 4x4 needs. For 1991-1992 opt for the 3.1 V6 engine and a manual tranny mated to the 4X4. The engine is a GM built 60 degree V6 with throttle body fuel injection making 120 horses. Doesn’t sound like much but it is surprisingly powerful. If you want better gas mileage get the 2.6 four banger (super quality engine) with just RWD. These SUVs are tough and not flimsy like today’s cars. They are hard to find due to their age but if you can find one, even if it needs TLC, but it!!!! Mine had power steering, brakes, ice cold a/c and a decent factory stereo with cassette with full-logic controls. I’m an Isuzu enthusiast and I like these over the Troopers which I LOVE. I regret selling my Rodeo after so many years and miles. It was still in great operating condition.
