I am new to this group.
I have two friends who have Rodeos. One bought because GM did not sell manual transmission SUV. I think they like it.
Second had to replace engine because it ran out of oil. They said Rodeos were notorious for burning up engines because engines use oil fairly early in life and if you don't check it pretty often, this can happen. Is this true?
I am thinking about a Rodeo to replace my Jeep. Why:
Having tough time finding 94 or later 5-speed in the Denver CO metro area.
Wondering if a 24 valve V6 might be more powerful and better mileage than the Jeep straight 12-valve 6. I drive between 6,000 and 11,000 feet most of the time, so aspriation is a problem.
How are they for towing? Power on long hills at high elevations? Reliability?
What is high mileage for a Rodeo? Are they like most modern cars which will go 250 k miles or more?
Thanks for any answers or opinions.
Charles.
