Isuzu Commercial Truck of America at the Work Truck Show in Indianapolis Thursday announced plans for two new Class 5 gasoline engine models next year.
The NQR Gas, with a target GVWR of 17,950 lbs., and the NRR Gas, with a target GVWR of 19,500 lbs., will each be powered by General Motors‘ 6-liter Vortec V8 and will be mated to an Allison 1000 RDS transmission with PTO gear.
Shaun C. Skinner, president of Isuzu Commercial Truck of America and Isuzu Commercial Truck of Canada, says announcing the rollout is part of the company’s 35th anniversary celebration of Isuzu trucks in the North American market this year.
Production is expected to begin in mid-2020.

Beginning in May, Isuzu will add Mobileye advanced driver-assistance features to its N-Series and F-Series trucks, including Forward Collision Warning, Pedestrian Collision Warning, Lane Departure Warning, and Headway Monitoring Warning.
Forward Collision Warning, active at any speed, alerts the driver of an imminent rear-end collision up to 2.7 seconds in advance.
