Isuzu Rodeo

The Isuzu Rodeo is the successor to the TF pick-up truck, and with the gradual disappearance of the Isuzu Trooper, is expected to be both a workhorse vehicle as well as a family 4x4. The Rodeo succeeds in appearing less rugged and perhaps less intimidating than many pick-up trucks, with a neat interior and attractive design. Two-wheel drive-only models offered at the bottom end of the range with the rest featuring a part-time 4WD set-up. A good effort but almost outclassed by the latest Nissan, Toyota and Mitsubishi pick-ups.
