help Isuzu P'up FAQ
Is the Isuzu P'up based on the Chevrolet Colorado?
No. That description is historically incorrect because the Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon arrived much later; the P'up was related to Isuzu's Faster pickup and the Chevrolet LUV. Isuzu introduced the P'up in the United States in 1981. [Source](https://saemobilus.sae.org/papers/isuzu-pup-fully-remodeled-small-pickup-truck-811271)
What was the Chevrolet connection to the Isuzu P'up?

What kind of drivetrain did the Isuzu P'up use?
The P'up was a compact pickup built around a conventional rear-wheel-drive layout, with four-wheel-drive versions also offered in some markets. Its small dimensions and truck construction distinguished it from modern unibody pickups such as the Fiat Toro.
When did Isuzu launch the P'up?
Isuzu launched the P'up in 1981, making it one of the company's first pickups sold in the United States under the Isuzu name. The model was also marketed under related names in different export markets. [Source](https://www.isuzu.nl/nl/over-isuzu/geschiedenis)
