  Great Find - 2001 Isuzu Rodeo
  By C.P. - November 12 - 10:00 am

  After I had been in an accident that rolled my van, I went looking for a good reliable vehicle with low miles. I found a Rodeo and instantly new this was the vehicle. The ride is great. Being in the south we have some rough roads and big hills. This vehicle is able to navigate the terrain well. It feels very stable on the road. After about 3 months and pushing up the miles I still love the vehicle and have found it only starts to get uncomfortable after riding in it for about 5 hours. As my friends and fam have checked it out they too have found it to be a great vehicle and might be getting one of their own.

  Solid, Reliable Truck - 2001 Isuzu Rodeo
  By Bob - March 29 - 3:43 am

  After 4 years and 70,000+ miles I have nothing but good things to say about this truck. One point I will make, though, is that the Rodeo is a truck. That can be good or bad depending on your needs. For my needs, it is excellent. It tows well, has plenty of power, negotiates snowy roads extremely well (and off-road, for that matter). Any complaints about a rough ride and low fuel economy can be attributed to any 4x4 truck. My Subaru rides great and gets 27 mpg but it couldnt pull the hair off of a wet dog. Thats my two cents. Oh, and with 92,000 miles and 2 trips across the country (loaded down, avg 18mpg), its still running as strong as ever. Great truck.

  No Complaints - 2001 Isuzu Rodeo
  By roughnail82 - December 24 - 11:46 pm

  I bought the vehicle brand new back in sept. of 01 and havent had any major problems with it. This SUV is rock solid. I have put this suv through hell and back. I havent changed the oil since november of last year and it has 162k miles on it. Ive had it for so long ive given up on it dying. I take it offroad all the time which ive never gotten stuck. I drive it like i stole it atleast 95 mph on the highways everyday and drive in bumper to bumper in afternoons. I havent had to replace anything really except the belts and a couple batteries. This is an awesome suv

  Great fun reliable vehicle - 2001 Isuzu Rodeo
  By Loved it!!! - August 11 - 5:20 pm

  I loved this SUV. NEVER once failed me. There was only one problem with it that had something to do with the axles but the mechanics could never figure it out. Even the small things that couldnt be fixed, it never failed to start up and drive anywhere. I could tell it was starting to die though, at only 93000 miles. It didnt have much longer to go. It was very well taken care of, i just dont believe theyre meant to last very long.

  I love my Rodeo! - 2001 Isuzu Rodeo
  By Rodeo01 - March 18 - 8:26 pm

  I bought a 2001 Rodeo LSE 4WD in 2006 with 135,000 km on it. I have had no problems whatsoever so far with it and love everything about it. Lots of room, great fun to drive, very stylish exterior, 21 mpg - which isnt really that bad for an SUV.

  Just a joy! - 2001 Isuzu Rodeo
  By Rob - June 16 - 11:56 pm

  I purchased this truck almost new (5,000 mile demo) and other than scheduled maintenance (and a blown transmission at 98,000 miles, which was covered under the fantastic 110,000 mile warranty). I have not had any problems that would cause me to not like or even buy another of this mid-size SUV.

  Dependable & Comfortable - 2001 Isuzu Rodeo
  By 2001 IsuzuRodeo - January 27 - 10:26 pm

  This SUV was very reliable. It has smooth handling yet was tough when needed. Felt more like a car ride than a stiff SUV. Other than typical wear and maintenance, this car did not need parts replaced or upgraded. The only issue is that the two little exterior pieces under the tail lights/above the bumper started to rust prematurely after the 3rd year of ownership. (A little unsightly.) RWD was fine on dry roads but a little dicey on wet/snowy roads. The 4WD was ideal! Easily drove through unplowed lots or streets where others were getting stuck. Its too bad Isuzu discontinued this model, because I would have bought another.

  Still solid - 2001 Isuzu Rodeo
  By Green Giant - September 12 - 10:00 am

  Overall a solid vehicle. At 55k miles, its tighter than friends explorers, trailblazers etc. Had an early problem with the front right wheelbearing loosening up but they replaced it. My rodeo has been tight as can be. No squeeks or rattles, engine is clean. 52K I had the brakes and undercarriage loked at. 60% wear left on rear brakes, 50% left up front. No rust, no leaks, exhaust is fine. For the money its a great value. Still one of the best looking mid sized SUVs out there. Paint is great, body hardware has been great. Not the smoothest ride, but not bad.
