1997 Isuzu Rodeo S/LS Prefered Package review from North America
"A very reliable truck"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
70,000 new tires
90,000 new shocks
93,000 new left valve cover gasket
95,000 new power steering pump.
General comments?
This truck is great.
We have moved from Vegas to Colorado with half the house in the truck, while pulling an 18' boat over the Continental Divide. Not one problem.
Truck is fairly fast off the line, with help of the Power feature.
This Rodeo is the 4x2, with 16" wheels and all terrain Goodyear Wrangler tires; no 4x4 has been needed even in the high muddy, rocky mountains.
I would purchase another Isuzu, however, I don't feel the need for a long time to come.
