1998 Isuzu Rodeo
The 1998 Isuzu Rodeo is a perfect blend of Good old fashioned truck toughness
with car like handling and performance. A veritable mixture that epitomizes the
essence of a midsize SUV, meet the all-new Isuzu Rodeo, which has been entirely
re-designed. The styling is evolutionary, retaining the trademark egg-crate grille
and blistered fenders of the old model. The innovative look is recognizable yet
contemporary and the 1998 Rodeo is one of the more ruggedly good-looking SUVs
offered today.
Purchasers can choose either a hatchback that lifts up from top to bottom, or
a hatchgate, which utilizes flip-up glass and a tailgate that sways from right
to left. The full-size spare tire can be hoarded underneath the vehicle or on
the hatchgate. S and LS trim levels are obtainable. The fundamental Rodeo has
two-wheel drive and a meager 2.2-liter four-cylinder engine. Stride up to the
S V6 trim and a 205 horsepower 3.2-liter unit whisks you along with vim and vigor.
LS models are full with standard equipment. In the whole, Isuzu has made a pretty
decent attempt in updating the Rodeo for 1998 without damaging the good value
it has had for the past 8 years. The new Rodeo may emerge as one of the best buys
in a crowded class.
