The rear seat folds down to reveal a large, relatively flat cargo area. There's 81 cubic feet of cargo space and the cargo area is just a bit over 5 feet in length. In other words, the Rodeo holds a lot of gear.
The tailgate opens from the right and swings to the left. Not having to walk around an open door makes it easier to unload baggage at the airport or load groceries curbside. You can now order your Rodeo with the full-size spare tire mounted underneath the cargo area or on the hatchgate door. By integrating the spare tire carrier with the hatchgate, the need for a separate spare tire carrier is eliminated, so you no longer have to swing a gate out of the way. That makes getting in back a two-step process, rather than a three-step process. You release the rear hatch glass, then swing the rear door open. Next Page
