The 2003-2008 Isuzu Rodeo RA, TFR, and TFS represented the final generation of this popular mid-size SUV. While it shared a platform with its American cousin, the Chevrolet Trailblazer, the Rodeo maintained its distinct identity with a rugged and practical design. Power came from a choice of two gasoline engines: a 3.5-liter V6 producing 205 horsepower, and a 3.2-liter inline-five developing 180 horsepower. The latter was notably smaller than the Trailblazer's V6 counterpart but offered comparable fuel economy. Both engines were mated to a four-speed automatic transmission, sending power to either the rear wheels or all four wheels via an optional transfer case. Despite being a rugged off-roader at heart, the Rodeo was also capable of providing comfortable on-road cruising thanks to its independent front and rear suspension. It offered seating for five passengers and ample cargo space, making it a versatile choice for families and outdoor enthusiasts alike. Known for its reliability and durability, the Isuzu Rodeo was a favorite among those seeking a practical and capable SUV. However, the Rodeo faced stiff competition in the ever-growing mid-size SUV market, particularly from Japanese rivals like the Toyota 4Runner and Honda CR-V. Ultimately, the declining popularity of the body-on-frame SUV design and Isuzu's decision to exit the North American market in 2009 spelled the end of the Rodeo's production run. Despite its discontinuation, the Rodeo remains a sought-after vehicle, especially among those seeking a capable, reliable, and affordable off-roader. The 2003-2008 Isuzu Rodeo RA, TFR, and TFS Workshop Service Repair Manual serves as an invaluable resource for owners and mechanics alike, providing detailed information on every aspect of the vehicle's design, maintenance, and repair.
