Top Reasons to Choose an Isuzu for Your Next Work Truck
In North America, Isuzu and Hino are two of the largest commercial truck manufacturers. They compete head-to-head in most categories, but Isuzu offers a number of advantages for those seeking durability, reliability, comfort and low cost of ownership.
Isuzu Offers Low Cost of Ownership Compared to Competitors
Isuzu’s low cost of ownership is attributed to its reliability, efficiency, and ease of repair when the need arises. Isuzu has both Genuine and FleetValue parts, its first and second line, which are designed and built to ensure your truck runs at its peak performance and stays on the road longer. Combined with a quality maintenance program and complimentary oil changes, business owners see more uptime than with other manufacturers.
Isuzu Takes Driver Comfort Seriously
Isuzu trucks are packed with features that enhance comfort, convenience and safety. From Isuzu's Hexapod-designed cab that provides greater visibility than conventional cabs to the standard Bluetooth capable radio, Isuzu trucks are built to meet your business and driving needs.
Inside the cab, LED meters are highly visible with ISO-compliant warning symbols. Meters are easy to read, allowing confirmation of vehicle status with a quick glance. Standard features like reclining seats, tilt/telescopic steering and power steering not only create the ideal driving position, but help reduce driver fatigue. Isuzu cabs are easily accessible, with three steps and hand grips to facilitate entrance and exits.
Design Offers Enhanced Maneuverability and Turn Radius
Maneuverability is one of Isuzu’s design philosophies, and Isuzu offers ease in this arena that you won’t find with other conventional trucks. The design offers a 49.5-degree wheel-cut angle, which allows for a tighter turning radius in crowded city streets and urban environments. Additionally, because of the low-cab forward design, drivers can see the ground within eight feet in front of the truck. A panoramic windshield and side windows allow drivers to view objects at a closer range than in conventional cabs. Optional features like door-side cornering lamps improve side visibility and alerts others to the presence of the vehicle, helping prevent accidents and enhance safety.
Quality and Reliability, Backed With Warranties and Available Maintenance Programs
Isuzu trucks are built to be the highest quality, most reliable trucks in the industry. That’s why they’re backed with one of the strongest roadside assistance programs ever offered for Medium Duty Trucks. With any Isuzu vehicle warranty, if your truck experiences a mechanical breakdown anywhere in Canada or the United States, drivers can call a 24-hour, toll-free number and service vehicle will be dispatched to provide minor roadside repairs or to tow your truck for service. Isuzu’s base warranty includes a comprehensive list of covered parts and services like oil changes, and the FTR features an Aftertreatment Warranty with more benefits.
Additionally, the Priority Service Maintenance Program (PSMP) was specifically designed for your Isuzu truck, whether it has a gas or diesel engine. Adding PSMP to your purchase or lease provides you with extraordinary value over the rising costs of parts and labor. And it makes the servicing easy, as your truck receives service priority at Isuzu dealerships and service centers nationwide.
Vehicle Health Reports Keep Your Truck on the Road
Unlike other manufacturers, Isuzu diesel trucks have a powerful vehicle management system as standard equipment, which includes a Data Recording Module (DRM) that tracks your truck's performance in key areas. Isuzu dealers can provide you with a computerized Isuzu Vehicle Health Report that details the fuel economy, engine and emission conditions and braking conditions, among other statistics. These reports help business owners and fleet managers monitor how their trucks are being driven, identify potential service areas, and monitor how previous repairs have enhanced their trucks' performance.
Isuzu Offers Flexibility in Design Options
No matter your business’s needs, Isuzu bodies can be upfit with bodies for virtually any business segment. Isuzu has a variety of wheelbases that can accommodate various bed sizes, offering an open canvas in body design. Whether you need a craft beer truck, moving cube truck, landscaping dump, stake bed, or any other configuration, Isuzu’s got you covered.
With features like these, it’s no wonder Isuzu commercial trucks are the best-selling low-cab forward trucks in the combined U.S. and Canadian market. Learn more about the benefits of an Isuzu truck today!
