2001 Isuzu Rodeo Touring W/nav.sys

Last year, Isuzu made the Rodeo's seat bottoms bigger and deeper, and further enhancements have added even more comfort for 2001. Most of the controls are well placed and easy to operate. The Rodeo offers abundant cargo space, more than 81 cubic feet of it with the rear seat folded down. That tops most other like-sized SUVs, particularly the Nissan Xterra at only 65.6 cubic feet. The Rodeo boasts slightly more space than the Ford Explorer and Toyota 4-Runner. The Rodeo is nimble and responsive. It has enough power to easily move through crowded highways and surface streets. The steering is precise and sure. Rodeo's compact size makes it a joy to drive. Overall, the Rodeo offers a stable ride and responsive handling, a benefit of its ladder frame with eight cross-members and box-section main rails. Steel tubes in the doors, in addition to providing better passenger protection, also make the body more rigid, adding to inherent stability and solid handling.
