Isuzu Rodeo

Does anyone have any opinions on these trucks? how does the interior compare size wise to some of the other crew cabs?

My Boss has one, mainly for towing our grinder about. He's got a rodeo bowser fitted at the moment for watering too. He does quite abit of hunting shooting fishing too. But he has bought a small renault van for quotes as the Rodeo is very thirsty indeed.

thirsty compared to a small renault van or another 4wd?

We demoed one, I personally didn't like the gearing of the rodeo but then we were testing it as a tow motor. It was equal with the Mitsi on fuel MPG but they were both poorer than the ranger or land rover! Haven;t tried the latest model though

my old man had one for about 18months before he swapped it for a disco (cheaper to run!) the rodeo was a nice vehicle quite roomy and had a decent amount of space in the back end, but it seemed to be a PITA to get serviced and parts for them? dont know if this has been resolved now!

He had a disco and defender before, so compared to them. Like most employers, he's become very cost conscious about fuel recently.

Having the two very different vehicles means he can place which ever one is the most practical in the field.

Very thirsty Steve,I had a late model V6 3.2 sold it as quick as i could just to expensive to run,The T/Diesels are great and get very good mileage...not the greatest 4x4 but they do drive well.

i Have heard the 3ltr diesels are good on the fuel and excellent for towing...

 

Someone did a fuel run test on one and got 55mpg - think that article was in farmers weekly, and then dont mess around and stretch the truth:icon14:
