Overview & Reviews

For 2002, Isuzu has fiddled with the Rodeo's option packages and improved the available Intelligent Suspension Control (ISC) system.

• Stylish exterior, great powertrain warranty.

• Cheap interior pieces, flaccid suspension, uncomfortable front seats, questionable build quality.

  Great Vehicle for the Money - 2002 Isuzu Rodeo
  By BSCox - October 28 - 10:00 am

  I previously owened a 2001 Rodeo Sport and got fed up with the rattles and uncomfortable seating. Finally invested in the LS full-size model. I absolutely love it. The styling of the interior and exterior are very eye- catching and sophisicated. Smooth ride, with no rattles. I should have bought this last year. The "LS" makes a huge difference in comfort.

  Get the Trooper - 2002 Isuzu Rodeo
  By rlfuzz - September 20 - 2:00 am

  I traded a completely reliable 1994 Trooper for a 1999 LS 4WD Rodeo. BIG Mistake. This thing has a problem every other month. Brakes, ABS Unit, Transmission, more squeaks and rattles than a covered wagon. I will be happy to give it back to Isuzu when my lease is up. I hate that the Trooper replacement is on a GM platform!

  Isuzu Rodeo Review - 2002 Isuzu Rodeo
  By Robbie Sickel - August 9 - 3:46 pm

  This vehicle is the best SUV Ive ever driven. The seats are as comfortable as an old pair of shoes. The price makes it the best value in the business and the styling is superb. I Love It!!!

  My Rodeo - 2002 Isuzu Rodeo
  By tennisram21 - August 8 - 2:00 am

  Though i have had the truck only a short while, i am totally pleased with the look and feel of it. The exterior is very rugged looking, and the interior is VERY roomy upfront. The 3.2 engine rides great on the highway, feeling very smooth at speeds 85+. Acceleration at those speeds for passing is also impressive.

  2nd Rodeo Ive Owned - 2002 Isuzu Rodeo
  By Ron Webster - March 30 - 2:00 am

  I got 300,000 miles from my 93 Rodeo. The 02 Ive got has done well with not mechanical problems. Daily avergage mileage is 350 miles of city and over the highway.

  My Experience - 2002 Isuzu Rodeo
  By Kerrie Cornett - March 8 - 3:10 am

  I love my Rodeo, but it doesnt love me. I have had it in the shop for warranty work 7 times since I bought it on November 28, 2003. It is going in this week for its eighth trip. I have had sensors go bad, the catalytic converter replaced, the transmission rebuilt, the exhaust manifold replaced, and this week its getting a new fuel pump. The clutch is tricky and there is still a knock in the rear end, but Ive gotten used to that noise and learned the secrets of the clutch. I may have just gotten a lemon, but based on the amount of time that Ive spent in the service lounge I wouldnt buy another Isuzu Rodeo.

  luv my rodeo - 2002 Isuzu Rodeo
  By haroldg48 - February 4 - 3:06 pm

  It rides a little Truck-like, but compared to other similar sized SUVs we drove, it was the best (Ford Escape, Mazda Tribute, Montero). Since buying it, love it!

  Good SUV - 2002 Isuzu Rodeo
  By Diane C. - February 2 - 10:00 am

  When I test drove it, I knew that I really wanted this SUV. I love the confort, the smooth drive, I dont think it looks cheap inside...Xtera looks cheap inside. The warrinties are the best, price is good too.
