Overview & Reviews
Isuzu has made a few changes this year to make the Rodeo more appealing to SUV shoppers. First off, there's a new range-topping 3.5-liter V6 that makes 250 horsepower. Last year's 3.2-liter V6 has a new home in the base model; the four-cylinder engine has been dropped. Other alterations this year include a new Sound Package, a new Color Package and a new tire-pressure monitoring system.
- Stylish exterior, powerful new V6, great powertrain warranty.
- Cheap interior pieces, flaccid suspension, uncomfortable front seats, questionable build quality.

NEVER AGAIN - 2004 Isuzu Rodeo
By Jd Texas Flyer - November 3 - 10:00 amBought TWO of these dogs on the same day (what was I thinking) for wife and daughter, hoping to get them into something reliable and safe - just the opposite. After 20K miles, major items began to fail such as catalytic converter (complete failure), transmission oil leakage (required complete transmission replacement), engine starter failure (replaced / both cars), ABS brake failures, throttle control valves, EGR valves, gas gauges, central computer, radio (lights, speakers), along with multiple factory recall repairs, some of which required more than a day to complete (without a supplied rental). There is NO feeling of dependability.

Not what I thought - 2004 Isuzu Rodeo
By Joanne - December 9 - 5:06 pmI absolutely hate this truck. The drive is horrible and weak...it never has any type of pick-up whatsoever. My mothers 4 cylinder car has more pick-up and vroom than this thing! I cant stand driving it and havent even had it for a full year yet! Biggest mistake Ive made!!!

Get Rid Of It - 2004 Isuzu Rodeo
By PEddie - July 29 - 5:56 amMushy ride, feels unsafe; REDUCED POWER light randomly comes on, effectively disabling the car, dangerous if youre not in your driveway when it happens; essentially you cannot count on it when you need it.
