Picked up a new Holden Rodeo single cab V6 tray top today. Has all the mod con's. CD player power windows, real seats, and the power of the V6 is incredible. does anyone have this in the 4Wd version either single or dual cab that can make comment becaause this thing goes like the clappers???? Its got me thinking of replacing the GQ
Thanks
Steve

Yes they do go like the clappers, and if you find a way to stop them drinking so much fuel, you better patent it,,,
Wait till you pay the fuel prices, heard they are a bit thirsty. ( a bit more than a bit )

Hi Steve, I had a 2004 V6 4X2 (Isuzu motor) only thing it wouldn't pass is a service station to refill, have heard that new motor a bit better on fuel but still heavy compared to others.

yeah,
A bit like the Ford Courier/Mazda Bravo 2.6 injected motors.
Go like a bat out of hell but not past fuel stations, Courier was compromised by a piddly little fuel tank (45 litres) in the space cab ute I had when at work.
I couldn't do a days work without carrying 2 x 20 ltr jerrycans
Mind you I was travelling up to 600km per day.
That ute was replaced by a 2.8td Rodeo, a bit less top speed (helped me retain my licence) but still did everything asked of it and used lots less fuel..
I was not a GM fan but the Rodeo impressed me, not as good as my Disco TD5 though.

Hey steve, i have the 3.5 V6 2004 dual cab RA LT Rodeo, very nice to drive and has plenty of power. I still get between 8.5-9km per litre around town so the economy is not to bad.
