Some of these design changes include a new five-link suspension, an upgraded four-speed automatic transmission and new variable assist power rack and pinion steering.

The reengineered engines now include a new in-line four cylinder DOHC with 130hp, or a 3.2 liter DOHC V6 with 205 hp. The 4WD Rodeo has a new electronic switch to activate the 4WD high feature. A lever still exists for the 4WD low. A new Sport package is available which includes fog lights, upgraded mud and snow tires and wheel locks.
