patterdalejoel 669 Posted January 2, 2016 Report Share Posted January 2, 2016 My old boss had a rodeo for 5 years.. Spent more time off road than on it, pulling cattle trailer etc, going picking up in it, lamping, f**k me he gave it some stick, abused it like you wouldn't believe, and it never missed a beat.... And gaz if your worried about it not being nippy your wrong it went like a missile... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dogmad riley 1,337 Posted January 2, 2016 Report Share Posted January 2, 2016 (edited) No point in worrying about mpg on a 4x4 they all shite. If it's running empty put some in. Could always convert to lpg would save on running costs. Mine is and runs fine Edited January 2, 2016 by dogmad riley Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gee111 6 Posted January 2, 2016 Report Share Posted January 2, 2016 If you can afford 13k chap, you should be able to cover the cost of fuel no problem. If your stretching yourself just to pay for the vehicle then your gonna be in for a shock and so is the wallet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
the goat 642 Posted January 2, 2016 Report Share Posted January 2, 2016 I like the rodeo. I hear the 3.0 is the better engine. Any thoughts on this? I'd only be pulling a quad and trailer... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rob284 1,678 Posted January 2, 2016 Report Share Posted January 2, 2016 Its a lot of money for a dog bus imo. An older truck with a few miles for 5k will do the same job with same mpg, and youd have a spare 7k+ to bank or buy a smaller runaround car. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
