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.

  Nice SUV - 2002 Isuzu Rodeo
  By Nowski - October 7 - 10:00 am

  I cant believe how much power the 3.2 engine has. A recent trip to Yosemite, fully loaded down with 5 backpackers + gear, we were passing cars going uphill from Yosemite Valley up to Tuolomne Meadows at an elevation of 8400. Air conditioner full blast, 95 degrees outdoors, sunny, smoke-filled air from forest fires, this Rodeo just took the corners and muscled up the hill faster than other Explorers, Blazers, 4Runners, Tahoes, etc. (I still got 20 mpg for the trip...not bad at all for an SUV) Id prefer more leg room in the back, but...I guess you cant have everything.

  Great Vehicle! - 2002 Isuzu Rodeo
  By free4all - June 1 - 10:00 am

  Bought the 4 cylinder stick and in a flat environment it works fine. I took it in the mountains and it is way under powered. The is great looking and extemely comfortable. My next Rodeo will be a 6 cylinder.

  my redeo - 2002 Isuzu Rodeo
  By harleygirl - May 26 - 10:00 am

  After test driving all the other suv there really was no difference in them except for the price and the warranty. The other mauf. should take lesson in standing behind there products like Isuzu offers. Maybe then the dealers would not have to pressure people into buying. There was no pressure from my dealer at all.

  RODEO - 2002 Isuzu Rodeo
  By JUDE - July 3 - 10:00 am

  I REALLY DO LOVE THIS VEHICLE. IT IS GREAT FOR GOING OFF ROAD IN SNOW OR MUD. LAST WINTER WAS ONE OF THE SNOWIER ONES IN CT AND NOT ONCE DID I HAVE TO STAY HOME. INSTEAD WE WENT 4 WHEELING FOR CHRISTMAS AND MOUNTAIN CLIMBING ON NEW YEARS. IF IT WASNT FOR MY RODEO WE WOULD HAVE BEEN SNOWED IN. I ALSO HAVE ROOM FOR 3 TEENAGERS,2 ADULTS, SKIIS, SNOW BOARDS AND CLOTHES. WHAT A WONDERFUL WEEKEND IN VERMONT!! THE INTERGRATED SUSPENSION CONTROL SYSTEM IS UNBELIEVABLE, THIS IS WHY I BOUGHT IT. IT FEELS LIKE A CAR BUT HANDLES ALL THE VARRIED TERRAIN. ANOTHER FEATURE I LIKE IS THE POWER BUTTON. NOT THAT THIS SUV NEEDS EXTRA POWER BUT IT HELPS IN NJ TRAFFIC.

  Solid and capable - 2002 Isuzu Rodeo
  By RodeoMike - June 19 - 10:00 am

  I find the build quality to be fine. Not a problem yet. Very capable off road. The interior has been solid. Nothing is made cheaply. Not sure what the editors tested.

  Best ride ive ever had - 2002 Isuzu Rodeo
  By dexman - March 31 - 10:00 am

  I picked the S model because it fit my budget. Little did I know that the S model I chose came with all of the features of the LS model, 3.2 V6 DOHC, roof rack, CD player, power windows, locks, ABS, Intelligent Suspension Control, high performance stereo, great sound system, etc..The asking price was 25k, I got it for 23k. I love it, id buy another. I checked all the others in this class, glad I made this choice!!

  A Very Happy New/Used Owner - 2002 Isuzu Rodeo
  By VAV - September 26 - 10:00 am

  I shopped for over six months, just looking and test-driving various SUVs, in all price ranges. My daughter and I really enjoy this classy and responsive vehicle. Go ahead and buy one. Youll be pleased.

  Have found the love ONE - 2002 Isuzu Rodeo
  By Deux - May 19 - 10:00 am

  Just bought it couple weeks ago after taking a while to do the research and compare between its class and I had come up with the final excellent decision is this SUV. You cant get the same SUV with all the standard features at this price. If you decide to buy one try to get the LSE trim, spend a little more but it worth it. The perfomance is excellent. Ive try on the I-5, it came up to 110mph easily, no problem. Very comfotable drive in the leather seat. I love it!!!

  More Bang for the Buck - 2002 Isuzu Rodeo
  By Eskimo - April 17 - 2:00 am

  Great SUV for the price. Comparable SUVs would cost thousands more. Six months and 7,000 miles and no problems.
