The Isuzu Faster is a pickup truck that was manufactured and marketed by Isuzu between 1972 and 2002 over three generations. The Faster was succeeded worldwide by Isuzu D-Max, except in Japan and North America.

First generation (1972–1980)

Isuzu of Japan introduced the KB20 / 25 series Faster pickup in 1972. The regular wheelbase models were designated "20", while "25" referred to the longer version. Derived from the Isuzu Florian, the Faster shared many components, including doors and the front-end assemblage. It served as a replacement for the Isuzu Wasp, a pickup version of the Bellett which preceded the Florian. Both single and twin headlamp front fascia designs were produced.

Due to the exterior dimensions, and engines offered were found to be in compliance with Japanese regulations, the platform was classed in the favorable "compact" designation, and competed with other Japanese made products sold in Japan at the time.

In most export markets, Isuzu rebranded the Faster as the "Isuzu KB". However, the Faster was often distributed through General Motors (GM) retail channels and sold under the Chevrolet brand as the "Chevrolet LUV"—LUV being an acronym for light utility vehicle. Bedford, the European commercial vehicle subsidiary of GM also offered the vehicle under the "Bedford KB" name.

The Isuzu Faster used a traditional pickup truck chassis with a ladder frame and a leaf spring live axle rear suspension. At the front, the A-arm suspension used an independent configuration. The 2,600 mm (102.4 in) wheelbase was similar to its competitors, as was the 1,855 mm (73.0 in) cargo bay. Unlike for the preceding Wasp, there was also a long wheelbase version (KB25) which had 2,995 mm (117.9 in) between the axles, which made for a 2,290 mm (90.2 in) bed.

In 1978, a four-wheel drive version became available, with the KB40 chassis code but sold under the "Faster Rodeo" label in Japan. There was also a double cab (on the longer chassis) version. Sales ended in 1980 when the second generation was introduced. The engine used in most markets was a carbureted 1.6-liter (1,584 cc) gasoline SOHC inline-four of 94 PS (69 kW), which was complemented by a 2.0-liter (1,951 cc) diesel four (KBD) which produced 62 PS (46 kW). Top speeds were 145 km/h (90 mph) and 115 km/h (71 mph) for the gasoline and diesel versions respectively. In Japan, an overhead valve engine (G161) was fitted originally; this produces 84 PS (62 kW) for a 135 km/h (84 mph) top speed.

General Motors-Holden imported the Faster into Australia from November 1972 under the name "Chevrolet LUV", renaming it "Isuzu KB" in 1977 before it was replaced in December 1980 by the second generation model (badged "Holden Rodeo"). Holden launched the LUV in Australia with the 1.6-liter inline-four gasoline engine delivering approximately 50 kW (67 hp) of power and 110 N⋅m (81 lb⋅ft) of torque. Gaining an early reputation for reliability and durability, these original rear-wheel drive models featured a four-speed manual transmission, short-wheelbase construction, and circa 1,000 kg (2,200 lb) payload capacity.

An update in 1978 expanded the LUV range—now comprising the short-wheelbase KB20 model, the new long-wheelbase KB25 and the four-wheel drive KB40 short-wheelbase. These KB25 and KB40 variants were offered in both cab chassis and utility (pickup) body styles and could be specified with the 1.6-liter gasoline engine or the newly available 1.95-liter inline-four diesel. The diesel produced 45 kW (60 hp) and 113 N⋅m (83 lb⋅ft).

Responsibility of sales in North America was delegated to General Motors. Thus, the Isuzu was retailed via Chevrolet dealerships as the "Chevrolet LUV". The only engine was a 1.8-liter (1,817 cc) SOHC inline-four which produced 75 hp (56 kW).

Sales in the United States began in March 1972 as a response to the Datsun and Toyota pickup trucks, as well as Ford's Mazda-built Courier. To circumvent the 25 percent tariff on light trucks (known as the chicken tax), LUVs were imported in cab chassis configuration, which included the entire light truck, less the cargo box or truck bed and were only subject to a 4 percent tariff. Subsequently, a truck bed would be attached to the chassis and the vehicle could be sold as a light truck.

The LUV's exterior was updated slightly for the 1974 model year, but the first major update came in the 1976 model year, when a three-speed automatic transmission option and front disc brakes were added. Power was up to 80 hp (60 kW) for 1977, and sales continued to rise. An exterior refresh and the addition of a 2,285 mm (90 in) cargo bay option, with longer 2,995 mm (118 in) wheelbase, brought sales up to 71,145 in 1978. The addition of four-wheel drive for 1979 brought the LUV to the attention of Motor Trend magazine, and earned it their second "Truck of the Year" award. The LUV was the first four-wheel-drive minitruck available and set a new trend. Sales peaked at 100,192.

Common Isuzu Pickup truck problems

The Isuzu Pickup, also known as the Isuzu D-Max, has been known for its reliability and robustness. However, there are some common problems reported by owners of this vehicle.

Engine Oil Leak From Front Crankshaft Seal: One of the most common issues reported is an engine oil leak from the front crankshaft seal. This can lead to a decrease in oil pressure, which can cause significant engine damage if not addressed promptly. Regular maintenance and inspections can help prevent this issue.

Coolant Leak From Heater Core: Another common problem is a coolant leak from the heater core, which can cause the engine to overheat and potentially lead to engine damage. This issue may require replacement of the heater core or repair of the affected area.
Squeak Type Noise From the Steering Column When Turning: Some Isuzu Pickup owners have reported a squeak type noise from the steering column when turning. This may be caused by worn out or damaged steering components and may require replacement of the affected parts.
Hydraulic System Malfunctions: For Isuzu dump trucks, which are commonly used in construction and industrial sectors, hydraulic system malfunctions are a common problem. Slow operation, strange noises, or complete failure can occur due to low hydraulic fluid levels or air in the hydraulic system. Regular inspections and maintenance, such as checking hydraulic fluid levels and bleeding the hydraulic system, can help prevent these issues.

Electrical Problems: Dump trucks also experience electrical problems, such as faulty wiring, blown fuses, or issues with the battery and alternator. Regular inspections and maintenance, such as checking wiring for wear or damage and cleaning battery terminals, can help prevent these issues.
Brake System Troubles: Given the weight that dump trucks carry, the braking system is under immense stress. Problems such as worn brake pads, brake fluid leaks, or issues with the brake lines can compromise safety. Regular inspections and maintenance, such as checking brake pads for wear and checking brake fluid levels, can help prevent these issues.
Engine Performance Issues: Engine problems can range from minor issues like a clogged air filter to more serious concerns such as overheating or unusual noises. Regular maintenance, such as changing the engine oil and replacing the air filter, can help prevent these issues.
Transmission Problems: Transmission issues can result in poor shifting, slipping gears, or difficulty in engaging gears. Low transmission fluid or a worn-out clutch can cause these problems. Regular inspections and maintenance, such as checking transmission fluid levels and replacing the clutch as needed, can help prevent these issues.
Tire Wear and Alignment: Improper tire alignment or worn-out tires can lead to uneven tire wear and affect the truck's stability and fuel efficiency. Regular inspections and maintenance, such as checking tire pressure and adjusting it to the recommended levels, can help prevent these issues.
Vibrations and Unusual Noises: Strange vibrations or noises can indicate underlying issues with various components, including the suspension system, drivetrain, or exhaust system. Regular inspections and maintenance, such as inspecting the suspension system for worn-out components and inspecting the exhaust system for leaks or damaged components, can help prevent these issues.

Regular maintenance, routine inspections, and prompt attention to emerging issues are key to keeping Isuzu Pickup trucks and dump trucks running smoothly. While some problems can be addressed with simple DIY fixes, it's crucial to recognize the limitations of self-repair and seek professional assistance for more complex issues.
