Bought this Rodeo with 49000 miles on. The first year it was my baby, I loved it. But as time goes on and I learn it's soft spots I wonder if I was smart in buying it. Gas gauge never worked right, now not at all. Stalls when trying to start when warmed up. Tried several tuneups to fix. Now am told it might be intake gasket. Very disappointed in quality of drive train makeup. Tuned up but made no difference.

I got my Isuzu over the common explorer and other midsize SUVs because it drives like a car, not a truck. It's fun, unless you worry about the gas gauge which seems like it depletes pretty fast...Overall, I'm glad I got the car, the brakes squeak like mad when its wet though. No mechanical problems to speak of. It sputters on startup when its cold, but nevertheless it starts up and goes.

Isuzu Rodeo 4 Wheel Drive

This is my second Isuzu, having owned a 1988 Trooper for 13 years. I truly loved that truck & went to places very wild. The Rodeo is in a different world. It has a very nice V6 engine, powerful and maintenance free. Night and day from the old Troopers high maintenance 4 cylinder. I have 30,000+ miles and have done nothing but lube it and one wheel alignment. I have driven round trip from WA to FL and had no problems. The roof rack holds 200 lbs, which is much more than most vehicles and since I carry a kayak and gear, is a nice quality feature built in. Many pro reviewers don't like Isuzu, but my experiences are all good. High speed driving is excellent & the brakes are excellent. I am not sorry.
