Holden Rodeo 4WD

crew cab

2000 March, left: Holden Rodeo 4x4 3.2 litre V6 petrol LT Sport.

There are now no fewer than 32 variants of the Rodeo, when 4x4 and 4x2, 3 engines, crew cab and other body variations, and DX, LS, LT and LT Sport trim levels are considered.

The V6 LT Sport crew cab is the top of the range, being distinguished by a special paint scheme, larger tyres and alloy wheels, side steps, "sport bar" in the tray, and other items of trim.
