The Isuzu Pup, marketed in the United States as the Chevrolet Luv, was a compact pickup truck manufactured by Isuzu Motors and sold by General Motors from 1981 to 1993. The first generation (1981-1986) was rebadged as the Chevrolet LUV and was sold under the Chevrolet badge until 1993. These trucks were known for their reliability, affordability, and strong performance, particularly in the diesel engine variants. The Pup/Luv was built on a sturdy ladder frame chassis and featured a simple, but effective, suspension system. It could be had with either a 1.6-liter gasoline engine or a 2.2-liter diesel engine, both of which provided decent fuel economy for their time. The Pup/Luv was designed for everyday use and was popular among farmers, ranchers, and small business owners who needed a tough and reliable work truck. Notably, the 1982-1983 model year introduced a limited-slip differential as an option, enhancing traction capabilities in challenging conditions.

The Isuzu Pup/Chevrolet Luv was a successful venture that carved a niche for itself in the compact pickup segment. Its compact size made it maneuverable in tight spaces, while its rugged design ensured durability for demanding tasks. The Luv's success led to the development of several variations, including the LUV cab-over and the LUV-based S-10 pickup truck, which would eventually replace the Luv in the U.S. market. The Pup/Luv's legacy lives on as a symbol of the enduring strength and character of Isuzu vehicles, particularly those that were sold under the Chevrolet brand. The Pup/Luv contributed significantly to the popularity of compact trucks in the American market, paving the way for future models and establishing Isuzu as a respected player in the automotive industry.
