Explore the 2002 Isuzu Rodeo

Best little SUV ever!

I have a 2002 Rodeo LS 4x4, and I absolutely LOVE it! A very powerful, safe, stylish, DEPENDABLE, comfortable SUV. I only pd $600 for mine from a private seller. It had $1200 worth of tires on it! Since Isuzu stopped selling it, most ppl don't remember them- or aren't interested in a vehicle this old. Fine by me!! Besides all the 5 star features, it's a head turner. Having kept the maintenance tip top, I expect many more years enjoying her. You won't be sorry.

I own a 2002 Isuzu Rodeo 2.2

Just like I said in the head line I own a 2002 Isuzu Rodeo 2.2 not a v6 but that is all they display it's upsetting when you look up the information on how much it gets on gas mileage it just says for a 3.5 again upsetting it's like that's all they make is the 3.5 disappointment to cars.com and anyone that just think about the v6 model

Great car

I love everything about this car, the handling is great, it it dependable, looks great inside out. this car hauls my pets to vet, my groceries every week, my items i buy at yard sales(my hobbie), all my other shopping oh so easy. there is so much room in the back, and when you let the back seats down such room.

a good suv

I had a 2002 Izuzu Rodeo LS 4X4. The 3.2 liter v6 is a little bit underpowered. Mine was in good condition when I sold it. The beutiful green paint never faded or didn't shine. You might ask why did you sell it even know I liked it? Well, I'm an idiot and wasn't paying attention when I Plowed into the back of a semi truck and totaled it. I walked away from the crash unharmed. That just shows you that they're very safe. Otherwise, I loved my Rodeo and I'm going to get another one. You should get one too. It just might save your life like mine did.

Most Reliable Vehicle I have Ever Owned

I bought this vehicle at the end of the model year in July of 2002. The vehicle is just a hair under 8 years old (by purchase date) and has a mileage of 135K+. Minor repair to a leaking transmission fluid line; the plug was stripped during a maintenance flush. Otherwise, with routine maintenance, this vehicle is still running strong and true. When I researched the vehicle, I found that these are good for 200K plus in mileage and it seems to be holding true.
