The Holden Rodeo is a utility vehicle (pickup truck) that was sold in Australasia (Australia and New Zealand) by Holden. Introduced in 1980, the Rodeo was built by Isuzu over three generations, but in 2008 was renamed Holden Colorado.
Prior to the launch of the Holden Rodeo, Holden had imported the first generation Japanese market Isuzu Faster into Australasia under the names Chevrolet LUV (1972–1977) and Isuzu LUV (1977–1980).[1][2] At the Australasian release of the second generation Faster in December 1980, Holden once again introduced a new name—Holden Rodeo—assigning it the model code KB and thus becoming the first generation Holden Rodeo.[1][3]
Isuzu in Japan released the redesigned Faster in May 1988,[4] adopted and issued by Holden in August 1988 as the second generation TF series Rodeo.[5] Although Japanese sales of the Isuzu Faster ceased in October 1994,[4] it remained in production until general exports began in June 2003 of its Thai-produced replacement, the Isuzu D-Max which launched in its home market of Thailand in May 2002.[6] Australasian sales began in March 2003, earlier than other export markets, as the third generation RA series Holden Rodeo. At this point Holden retired the long-running TF model.[7] Holden maintained sales of the RA generation until rebranding the Rodeo as Holden Colorado in July 2008.[8] This was a result of the GM-Isuzu split resulting in Holden losing the right to use the "Rodeo" name.[9]

First of these was the Isuzu KB utility, sold as the Chevrolet LUV (Light utility Vehicle). The reputation and recognition of this little utility grew over time until in 1977, the Chevrolet name was deleted and the Isuzu nameplate was used instead. Late in 1980, KB received a major
facelift[redesign]. With new sheetmetal, the opportunity was taken to re-badge the car – this time as Holden Rodeo." - ↑ Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found.
