Being ready to go at a moment's notice gets a whole lot easier when you've got room for people, provisions and equipment. Rodeo handles them all with composure. Seat five comfortably, or pack up in a hurry with versatile folding rear seats that reveal 81 cubic feet of cargo space. Don't overlook a cabin filled with conveniences when you have time to appreciate Rodeo's finer touches.
Load your discs directly and conveniently into the dash with Rodeo's available in-dash 6-disc CD changer. And with an optional 8-speaker set up, you can surround yourself with your favorite tunes (optional on LS; standard on LSE).
The available power moonroof retracts electronically. Its carefully-tempered smoked glass design lets in the sun but helps block the heat, while the sliding shade lets you completely block the rays.
Versatility takes a front seat and back seat in the 2005 Rodeo. The available front 4-way adjustable power leather driver and passenger seats (standard on the 2005 LSE and Anniversary Edition) offer a multitude of comfortable settings, and the rear 3-position seat reclines. Plus 60/40 split rear seats let you configure your seating arrangements and your gear.
Rodeo's inline-4 and V6 engines use dual overhead camshafts to control valve operation. The fine-finished, low-friction cams in the V6 aid quicker acceleration. And the cross-flow straight port heads allow the cylinders in each engine to inhale and exhale more freely for more complete combustion.
Brake with confidence, with Rodeo's anti-lock brake system. Unlike many SUVs, Rodeo's standard ABS system works on all four wheels - in all drive modes.
Shift into 4WD High at up to 60 mph with the Rodeo's 2005 electronic shift-on-the-fly technology. It's in easy reach — just touch the button on the dash to distribute power equally between front and rear axles for 4-wheel traction and performance.
Tackle rocks, ruts, loose dirt and slick roads with Rodeo's limited-slip rear differential system. Designed to power through all kinds of conditions, the limited-slip differential will automatically shift torque to the rear wheel with greater grip. (Standard on all 2005 LS and 2005 LSE 4-wheel drive Rodeos)
