I have had my Rodeo since march and I am very happy with it. The only 2 things wrong with it are the oil pressure guage not working (didn;t work when I got the vehical) and the AC compressor locked up (or so i thought until for some odd reason I tired it today and it seemed to be working. Yes, i have spent a good deal of money or rutine and prevenative matence, these include:
1.new plugs and wires
2.new fuel fliter
3.changing oil or a very regualr basis
4.changing front and rear diff fluid
5.changing t case fluid
6.changing timeing belt, water pump, cam/crank shaft seals, radatior hoses and drive belts.
7.new set of tries
and cominf up is tanny fluid/filter and brakes.

But having done all of that puts my mind at ease knowing ol' red is being well taken care of. My rodeo only has 92,000 miles on it and *knock on wood* and not had any major problems to date (to the best of my knowldge). But when trucks get old, things break and wear out. The bright side to that is that once you do it, then you more than likley won;t have to do it agin.

This truck is one of the most capable 4x4s I have had the pluasure of wheelin in (some others I have used have been a chevy 210 and k5 blazer, ford explorer, jeep wagonner, cherokey, and wrangler and a toyoata pick up.) The only one I wold say gives my truck ron for its moeny was the k5 and that is only cuz it had a 350, 8 inces of lift, and 38s. But after watching my freind go though countless u joints, slip yokes, and drive shafts (not to mention about $80 in gas a week) I wold not even want something like that. My truck has done things and gotten me through situations that most other vehicals would have not been able to handle and the that I give Isuzu props for making a bad ass vehical!
