Summary:
Rodeo and Passport are almost identical fyi Hello People: I see many fellow owners have had great experiences with the Rodeo and the Passport. I'm one more satisfied and loyal customer. Got a black 1997 V6 4x4 Rodeo with 68,000 miles on it for my 16th birthday two years ago. Since then, I've driven it to canada during summer vacations, and the LA mountains for winter vacations, and every trip I took was in my Rodeo along with my 80 mile commute to school every day. I ended up putting just over 82,000 miles on it and in December, it had just over 150,000 miles on it! The Rodeo performed great despite some of the hard driving I put it through. Very easy to work on when it needed oil changes, new spark plugs, and so on. Very cheap to keep running and had a very good style to it. After 150,000 miles it the odometer, I figured it was bound to start having some expensive problems so I sold it to the dealer for $1,200 and got a 2003 black Rodeo 2wd with leather package, sport package and a few extras. 10 year, 100,000 mile warranty which I dont think I'll ever be needing :-) Fully loaded Rodeo for just over 22 grand! Isuzu gives great service and has kept me thoroughly happy. They have a customer for as long as they are selling SUVs. I now have 7,200 miles on my new one and it is such an outrageous vehicle. It really needs to be on more peoples' shopping lists. Very strong vehicle. I also wanted to add that I havent had any oil problems with either vehicle and I think the cause of some of these oil problems that people are having is because they arent changing their oil often and letting their engine wear away at itself. I belong to many Isuzu groups, where there are many Passport owners too, and I havent encountered anyone who has ever had an oil problem which tells me the people who have problems with this vehicle are neglecting it. Big no no. My mom has a Dodge Durango now and it is the biggest piece of sh!t. Fair warning to everyone. Stay away from the whole Chrysler corp. Enjoy The Vehicle!
