Best of all, I could fit it into my garage without remodeling the roof of either the Rodeo or the garage. The wrapover rear quarter windows are the Rodeo's most distinctive styling feature. A simple black egg-crate grille and plain rectangular headlights make an attractive, unpretentious front end. On the LS, chromed front and rear bumpers have plastic-covered lower fascias that contrast with the main body color. That contrasting color scheme is continued on the lower side panels.
Chrome trim highlights the wheel arches, mirrors, and door handles.
Small fender flares prevent slab-sidedness and give a hint of aggressiveness. The Rodeo is compact outside, but has plenty of space inside. Although the roofline is low for an SUV, a relatively low floor height means that access is easy even without running boards. There is plenty of headroom inside. Leather is found only on the rim of the tilt-adjustable steering wheel.
