2000 Holden Rodeo LT review from Australia and New Zealand
"A good work horse!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Radiator leak- discovered by dealer and replaced under warranty.
Oil leak from transfer case (twice) - several days off road for rebuild.
Rain water leak in cabin - 4 attempts by dealer to fix it and the leak is still there!
General comments?
Tough unit - off road regularly and never a problem.
Comfort - bad driver seating position for anyone 6ft plus.
Great load carrier - hauled 3/4 tonne gross trailer and fully loaded tray for 800km with no problem.
