#1 of 2 can't decide on next rodeo by rodeogal Sep 30, 2008 (2:22 pm)
Hi Hope someone can help as I'm new to this forum, or any other for that matter. I've owned a 99 rodeo 4wd for 6 years and it was a great, versatile and reliable vehicle. Just this weekend I over- corrected after hitting the gravel shoulder and flew into a deep ditch. My 17 yr old son was in the passenger seat, and other than some stiffness and bruising we are both fine [thank God]. We hit the bank hard and the truck is a write-off, but I'm sure that the truck's sturdy frame is what saved us. Also the cop said it's a wonder that we didn't roll it. Although I learned a valuable lesson [ I was distracted by my cell phone, like an idiot, and could have killed my youngest son! ], I hope to acquire another rodeo for the two of us to drive. My question is; of the last 3 model years [02,03,04] which is the most reliable, safest and fuel-efficient? 4WD only please [we're in Canada!] Thanks Replies to this message: socalsteve (Oct 01, 2008 7:35 am)

Replying to: rodeogal (Sep 30, 2008 2:22 pm) If you found an '04 with Direct Injection, that would probably be the most fuel efficient. I've got an Axiom with DI and it's been very good.
