Fisheruk Posted December 22, 2011 Report Share Posted December 22, 2011 Well, permit me to wax lyrical about my Isuzu Rodeo Denver LE 3.0L Auto. I spent some time researching 4WD pick-ups and found that the Denver had the largest cab and legroom in the back seat. It runs in two wheel rear drive normally, but at the touch of a button it changes to 4WD on the fly up to 60mph. Drop it into 4WD low ratio and it has awsome off road capacity. I have taken it up rough forestry tracks where temporary roads have been cut for thinning work, up and down hill sides in N Wales. On the road the cab comfort is more like a large family car than a truck. It has just rolled over 25000 in just over 12 months and the dash computer records an average fuel consumption of 29.1 for that entire distance. It does high 30's mpg on the motorways if you jog along at 68mph. The cruise control is very easy to use and efficient. You will probably appreciate I give it a large thumbs up.

jacksdad Posted December 23, 2011 Report Share Posted December 23, 2011 Hope the motor is better than the 3.0 in my Trooper....real problem engine, cost Isuzu a fortune in recalls, mines off the road AGAIN, heads gone, also keep using the 4wd SOTF regularly or the solenoids will seize up, and always use 5-30 fully synthetic oil, or it won't run properly :blink: Otherwise, they are superb offroaders!
