Particularly one of the 98-2002 models. 4x4, were these good dependable vehicles like Toyota?

I had one, older than that, it was a very dependable vehicle.
I've spent most of the money I've made in my lifetime on hunting and fishing. The rest I just wasted.....

Friend of mine had several. Usually replaced them every 200,000 miles or so, he swore by them.

I had a 1997. It was a great 4x4. Very dependable. Lots of room. Handled like a 3 legged bar stool.

Cousin has either a 98 or 2000 I think. Welded tube bumpers, Warn winch, 3" of lift, Q buckshots. Just leaves it at his camp. It'll flat out go just about anywhere you've got the balls to drive it through.

I have a 2000 model with about 250,000 miles on it. Love the room inside and the ride, average mileage 15-18, and has gone everywhere I've wanted to go. They were all made in Japan. They were designed for use in third world counries so they have skid plates under the drive train. I also had 2 of the older models with 4 bangers and manual transmissions, and an Isuzu Rodeo. I think they are good vehicles. ![[Linked Image]](https://i.imgur.com/8vzl5E1.jpg)

Currently have a 2000 Rodeo 4x with V6. Will go just about anywhere my Ranger does. But it's quieter and has heat/air. If I had to do it again, I'd buy a Toyota 4runner or Jeep Cherokee just for aftermarket parts availability
"Cull" is just another four letter word...

I owned a mid 90s model. The engines were basically the same engines as the s-10 motors of the time. I liked mine but everything engine wise is aluminum so keep that in mind

My wife still has her 99 Rodeo 2wd bought brand new. Has 90k miles on it now and it's been a good vehicle for her. She doesn't go into the woods with it, just city miles.
