1995 Isuzu Rodeo S V6 4dr SUV
I bought my 1995.5 Isuzu rodeo in 1997 (one year old) with 23k miles on it. It now has 154k. Original engine and original tranny. You cannot beat this truck with as stick. Bought from FL to NC 5 times while towing 2 ton boat. Been up hills, in mountains across the country. No major bill exceeding $300. (Usually timing belt etc) These trucks were built to last. Only issues: the AC … compressors are horrible and faulty. No CUP HOLDERS. But try blowing this engine, it won't happen! Now its my work vehicle and it starts every time. Get a 1995. 5 to 1997 the new int is better!

1995 Isuzu Rodeo S 4dr SUV 4WD
Purchased used at 79,000 miles. Now has
130,000+ and has been stone reliable.
Had to put some money into new brakes
but that is it. Has plenty of pep and
is fun to drive. Very versatile and
just the right size SUV. I would buy
another one but I intend on taking this
one to 200,000 miles first.
165K and 13 years Rodeo

1995 Isuzu Rodeo S V6 4dr SUV
I bought this SUV in December 95, still going great. This SUV drives great. I had no major issues. I have not fixed any thing that broke, that cost more than $200 at any single instance. I changed timing belt twice, that cost $400 both the times. After 13 years and 165K miles I am ready for another vehicle. I do not have space in my garage otherwise I would keep this gem.
Buyer Beware

1995 Isuzu Rodeo LS 4dr SUV 4WD
I bought this vehicle because of good reviews. I have had constant problems, in the repair shop 4 times and now I must scrap. I bought with 133K miles, should have had good life left, but completely died in all areas: Back doors dont work Power window Died Engine Noise Trans Dieing Had to the shop for: Alternator Water Pump failed Bearings Failed in Wheels Numerous leaks in the … wheels and drive train. I am not sure If I got unlucky or the build quality is poor. I have owned other high mileage vehicles without problem. I say pass and save yourself the trouble like me
