GO FARTHER, FASTER WITH THE 1999 ISUZU RODEO

The 1999 Isuzu Rodeo -- singularly capable and perfectly suited to anyone who understands that life is simply too big for cars.  With so many things to do, so many places to go and so much gear to bring along, this is the rugged sport utility vehicle with the perfect combination of sleek styling, spacious interior, powerful response and unmistakable off-highway capability.  Expertly engineered, carefully crafted and thoroughly tested by SUV specialists, the 1999 Rodeo (now available in S, LS and LSE trim levels is just right for anyone who has outgrown their car.

Power

"Large and in charge."  That's Rodeo's available 205 - hp V6 talking.   Factor in 214 lb-ft of torque (which allows you to tow up to 4,500 lbs.) and you remove any mystery as to whether this 3.2-liter high-output heavyweight will answer the bell.

Handling

This is no bull in a china shop.  A sports car-derived rack-and-pinion steering system transforms Rodeo's ample power into agile and accurate performance.  Just because you've outgrown cars, doesn't mean you have to part with a smooth ride and precise control.

Capability

Convenient push-button 4WD that lets you shift-on-the-fly (at up to 60 mph to boot!) is your first hint that Rodeo enjoys thumbing its nose at those prisoners of the pavement - common cars.

Integrity

Do one thing and do it well.  That kind of philosophy makes you an SUV specialist.   It's also the kind of thinking that makes Rodeo's advanced ladder frame chassis possible.  It's nice knowing you've got eight crossmembers, box-section rails and doing it for years to come.

Interior

If life is too big for cars, then the alternative better be roomy enough to handle just about anything.  Not coincidentally, Rodeo makes space for an amazing amount of stuff -- bikes, packs, coolers, even maps.  Now you can stop worrying about fitting the big stuff in and get of to doing big things.
