Isuzu Rodeo Specs, Engines & Dimensions (1988–1994) — First Generation
When choosing a first-generation Isuzu Rodeo Pickup, look beyond the engine alone. The transmission and drivetrain also influence how well a version suits your daily journeys and work duties.
Selected gasoline powertrain examples include the 3.1 MT with a manual transmission and rear-wheel drive, and the 3.1 AT with an automatic and either rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive. The manual gives you direct control over gear selection; the automatic eases driving in traffic. All-wheel drive can help traction on slippery surfaces.
