Who has one? Likes/dislikes? Looking at getting a 2000 and would like to hear the good, bad and in between before deciding.
Thanks

The main question is what are you planning on doing with it? Some features that would be great for a DD, but undesirable for a trail rig.

Help us help you :flipoff2:

It would be my DD.
Don't care about add ons and such at this point. Just want some feedback from others that own/have owned them.

I said it in the other thread.....most everyone really likes theirs.

They are reliable, and with proper maintence you should be able to get another 100K out of the one you are looking at. The will use some oil, but as long as you keep on checking it and doing regular maintence you shouldn't have any problems.

I have a 97 and have loved it. My parents tried to get me to purchase a beater until I graduated college(which was only 6 months away at the time I purchased it) They have since admitted that buying my Rodeo was one of my best decisions. I have now owned it for 5 1/2 years and am now approaching 100K. I have had to replace the starter, alternator(3 times, but more because the crappy liftetime warratied one from Pep Boys keeps crapping out on me) and timing belt..I haven't had any troubles.

Stout, reliable, good room inside(considering size of vehicle) average mpg's...what else is there.
