CreviceSucker said:What year ?
Rodeo was a GM / Isuzu badged holden from 1988 - 2003 , due to a huge number of warranty issues and huge legal bills over the years as GM fought to deny that any issues existed , they had a falling out .
Isuzu D-Max is the new baby , a rebadged redesigned vehicle .
Which one are you looking at ?
You never know what you will find if you google search for holden rodeo common faults
Weak clutches , lightweight chassis that will crack if you tow a lot , average brakes , short lived harmonic balancers , cracking exhaust manifolds in the Petrol version , lousy rear springs rated at1000 kg payload250 kg payload etc
Yep heard the same about the first Colorados .But i do own and drive an old rodeo 3.5 lrt petrol it hasnt let me down yet. Mine goes where im needing when i want it to .aussiefarmer said:Still plenty of old rodeos on the road so that says something, I never liked them but I never had one, friends that did loved them. I think the first Colorado's were lemons , I know of 3 that were.

A bloke up the road has one, good knockabout vehicle, but pretty sure he said max towing capacity if 2 tonne braked.

:lol: Or end up like these in several yrs time under "destroy my holden! Too many sensors to keep em on the road with todays cars, as soon as they stop making them they're done. Why you see so few 80s 90s fords and holdens on the road now. No sensors left. Thats why I wouldn't touch a Holden no matter how cheap. Theyre done.RM Outback said:JD3 said:With Holden being going, going........., I personally wouldn't touch one. Think future.
Plenty of spares around at the moment, won't be long and we'll be hearing how they fetch 20k+ at auction WTF a Rodeo :argh: who'd of thought. Same might (I use might lightly) just happen with the Jeeps in about 100 years layful:

Tritons are good but stay clear of high klms, check to see if feul filters have been upgraded or doubled up, put simply most modern desiels any brand are throw away due to cost if feul system fails, if you have time pull the air hose off the intercooler and wipe your finger in it and see how much carbon crud is in there, as the pollution plumbing feeds it all back through.clint3 said:Im looking at the rodeo diesel or 05 triton 2.8 diesel

They only commit to 10 yrs parts and with a see you later by Holden I wouldn't hold my breath on that. Its 10 yrs with current makers. Not folders like Holden. Even the makers of the sensors say they have a max 10 yr lifespan.
