Isuzu Hombre

The Isuzu Hombre was a pickup truck based on the Chevrolet S-10 that General Motors built for Isuzu at its Shreveport plant in Louisiana. It replaced the Isuzu Faster, which had been built at the Subaru of Indiana Automotive plant, then run jointly with Subaru, and it was sold only in North America. Compared with the Chevrolet S-Series it came in a smaller range of models and equipment packages. The front differed through its own headlamps, grille and bumpers, and the fenders were shaped differently, which also changed the rear windows because they had to match the wheel arches; this construction was the same as on the Brazilian Chevrolet S10. Wheels were the S-Series steel wheels painted black or the S-10 alloys, both with Isuzu hub caps. The base engine was a 2.2 litre four-cylinder, and in 1997 and 1998 a 4.3 litre V6 with automatic gearbox and four-wheel drive could also be had.
