Isuzu FTR named Medium-Duty Truck of the year!

The Isuzu FTR was recently named the 2018 Medium-Duty Truck of the year by Work Truck Magazine at the Work Truck Show in Indianapolis!

Professional fleet managers chose the truck from among nine vehicles that were included on an online ballot. They were asked to consider which medium-duty truck model best fit their fleet requirements for application effectiveness, durability, quality, servicing, maintenance, and lifecycle costs.

"Its low-cab-forward design and proven 5.2L four-cylinder engine allows for great maneuverability and excellent fuel economy, and we are confident it will be the truck for the future," Shaun Skinner, President, Isuzu said. "We are excited to see that the readers of Work Truck share that same confidence and voted the Isuzu FTR as Medium-Duty Truck of the Year."

The FTR is powered by a 5.2L 4HK1-TC turbocharged four-cylinder diesel engine mated to a 6-speed Allison automatic transmission with power take-off (PTO) capability. The truck features eight wheelbases to accommodate bodies from 14 to 30 feet, increased forward visibility, and a turning diameter of 43.7 to 65 feet.
