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.

  satisfied - 2004 Isuzu Rodeo
  By glewis - March 9 - 10:00 am

  Having owned 3 previous Isuzus I knew what to expect in the 2004 Rodeo. It hasnt changed in years and I was looking to take advantage of lower interest rates, remaining trade-in value and rebates to get into a new version. I like a no-frills 4-door dependable, logical sport utility I can take to the country as well as haul stuff around town. Ive always been satisfied with the Isuzu product.

  Love the Rodeo..... Almost - 2004 Isuzu Rodeo
  By Ryan - September 5 - 11:00 pm

  I love almost everything about the 2004 Direct Injection Rodeo, except for the fuel injection problem that I have had in BOTH 2004 Rodeos I have had. It sometimes wants to hesitate during my first acceleration of the day, but then performs fine. I cant seem to find anyone else that has had this problem, but I have experienced it in both Rodeos that I have had.

  Surprise - 2004 Isuzu Rodeo
  By randallgray - July 9 - 5:23 am

  The vehicle has been a surprise. The ride and reliability have been excellent. The car has a lot of equipment at a significantly lower sticker price than the competition.

  gas guzzzzzler - 2004 Isuzu Rodeo
  By hmmm - November 23 - 2:00 am

  The ride is smooth and quiet. The seats are comfortable and there is plenty of room. I noticed the bouncy ride on rough pavement. Very bad on gas mileage. I would recommend the Rodeo if gas mileage is no concern!!

  Good choice - 2004 Isuzu Rodeo
  By Antoine - July 29 - 11:30 am

  Since I have bought this vehicle there have been some things that I have been dissapointed with like the fuel economy, but overall I would say it is a good buy for the price compared to other SUVs in its class.

  simplistic yet functional - 2004 Isuzu Rodeo
  By J. Tan - July 18 - 2:00 am

  Its functional and simplistic. Maybe it was the ease of getting in and out. Maybe it just makes you feel cool. I dont know. I drove it a while ago and would hard pressed to describe why I liked it so much. The suspension could be better but I usually drive in stop and go traffic. The only time I really tax a suspension is accelerating off a steep parking lot down onto a street at an angle. I don’t think a soft suspension is bad as along as you’re not rocking side to side.
