ok a few weeks ago i mentioned on the
forum that work had ordered a new rodeo dual cab 2007 3.0 l td common rail diesel with rear canopy (which is really for my dogs but work thinks its to carry gear in) for me to drive and a couple of people asked me to report back after i had driven it for a while - picked it up last week and have done 1000 kms since and impressions are -
well frankly i am a bit dissapointed as i find it quite a bit noiser than my current private vehicle which is a 2004 ser IV 3.0 l td nissan patrol stn wag - as the turbo in the rodeo has a very loud whine . / buzz when i rev it up which i did not detect on the
test drive vehicle i took out a few weeks back
ride is as you would expect for an empty dual cab - a bit bumpee but not too bad but the vision is terrible on the drivers side with a really bad blind spot next to the rear drivers side door - nearly caused me to prang it second day i had it so off to super crap to buy 4 off 360 deg blind spot mirrors which certainly help
so frankly i do prefer my 3.0 l td nissan patrol which is much quieter and i suppose i just like it i guess - but then the price was right re the rodeo dual cab
4 wd wise i have hardly had it in 4wd but the it seems to have about medium 4wd capability the little i have used it in 4wd
thats about it - although my 3 dogs really like it
see you greg
