Author's Product Rating: 30 Recommended: No 
Pros: Nice looking truck with lots of interior room.
Cons: BAD gas mileage, back seats do not fold down flat, goes through oil.
The Bottom Line: I would recommend this truck for someone that just likes to drive a truck, however, make sure you have a good job in order to afford the gas.
I purchased this truck approx 7 months ago. It's a nice looking little truck inside and out, very roomy and a pleasant interior. However I have found out a few things since owning it that really stink. Windshield wipers - the intermittent wipers will ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 40 Recommended: Yes
Pros: Power of an suv but not the size of one. Great cargo space!
Cons: Hard to load rear of vehicle if you have short Asian man syndrome like me.
The Bottom Line: I recommend the Isuzu Rodeo because of the great versatility from a passenger car to a 1-ton truck!!
When I found out I was having twins, the first thing in mind was, "how will get them home in my truck from the hospital?" I couldn't afford a new vehicle so I started to search for a used one. On the internet of course!! I was sold on the Isuzu ... read more

Pros: Low cost, reliable
Cons: Tappet noise, gas mileage, handling in slippery conditions
The Bottom Line: Check the tappets, note the poor gas mileage and wet weather handling
I bought this truck new in 1994 when the local dealer was having a big sale. I purchased a pretty basic S model, with only cloth seats and no exterior chrome trim, but I did get the V6 and a limited slip diff. The Isuzu is certainly reliable. I never ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 50 Recommended: Yes
Pros: Great Looking (Especially in LS Trim), Smooth Automatic, Old Reliable
Cons: Paint is hazy from Florida sun, teeny-tiny speakers (5")
The Bottom Line: I highly recommend the 94 Rodeo for anyone looking for a reasonably priced used SUV.
I wasn't even really in a market for a Rodeo when this one just sort of fell into my lap. I had told my friend a couple of years before that if she ever decided to sell her Rodeo though, to keep me in mind (since I knew her driving patterns, ... read more

Ok. I had my heart set on an Isuzu Rodeo from the time I first saw one back in 1991. Visually, it was just such a "Cute Truck"! I was unable to buy one until 1998, and I purchased a 1994 4-WD, 6 Cylinder. I love the vehicle.
