The Isuzu Rodeo, a rugged and reliable SUV, was produced by the Japanese automaker Isuzu from 1990 to 2004. The 1998-2004 model years mark the second generation of the Rodeo, introducing a more refined and modern design while retaining the essence of its off-road capabilities. This generation was available in both two-door (Sport) and four-door (LS, S, and later, the top-of-the-line Sport) configurations, catering to a diverse range of needs. Power came from a variety of engines, including the 3.2-liter 6VD1 diesel, the 2.2-liter 4ZE1 petrol, and the 3.2-liter 6VF2 petrol engine. The Rodeo's underpinnings were robust, featuring a body-on-frame construction and a solid rear axle, providing excellent off-road durability and a comfortable ride on pavement. Its four-wheel-drive system, with selectable 2WD, 4WD high, and 4WD low options, ensured confident traction in various conditions.
The 1998-2004 Isuzu Rodeo was a popular choice for drivers seeking a balance of practicality, durability, and affordability. Its spacious cabin, comfortable seating, and ample cargo space made it suitable for families and adventurers alike. The vehicle also offered a range of standard and optional features, including power steering, air conditioning, a CD player, and a rear spoiler. Despite its success, the Rodeo faced growing competition from other SUVs, particularly those with more advanced features and technology. Ultimately, the decision to discontinue the Rodeo in 2004 marked the end of an era for Isuzu's presence in the North American SUV market, leaving a legacy of rugged dependability and off-road prowess.
