CERRITOS, CA - Isuzu Commercial Truck of America, Inc has announced the enhancement of its Gold Star Warranty Program for Isuzu-built N-Series and Chevrolet/GMC W-Series Class 3-5 used trucks.

This limited powertrain warranty coverage is available on inspected and qualified 2002 and newer vehicles at over 225 nationwide Isuzu commercial truck dealers. Diesel vehicles in this program offer less than 170,000 miles and gas vehicles have less than 100,000 miles.

Shaun Skinner, Executive Vice President, General Manager stated that "in response to requests from dealers and customers, we researched our vehicle usage and found that the average Isuzu class 3-5 truck was traded-in at about 6 ½ years, with many of these vehicles having less than 170,000 miles for diesel and under 100,000 miles for gas. We consider this to be low mileage, since our diesel models have an engine B-10 life of 310,000 miles and our gas trucks have an engine design life of 200,000 miles. We determined with our dealers that, after a comprehensive inspection, these vehicles would be a terrific value to customers wanting a less expensive but reliable low cab forward vehicle."

Offered at a competitive price, the limited powertrain warranty coverage options are 3-months/10,000 miles, 6-months/20,000 miles or 12-months/30,000 miles. In addition, once the dealer registers the vehicle with Isuzu, it will include roadside assistance, and customers are provided with a coupon for a free oil change at participating dealers.

According to Skinner, "This really is a win for both the dealer and the customer. Our dealers are now able to offer a quality, Isuzu-built class 3-5 vehicle back to the 2002 model year with a limited powertrain warranty, and the customer gets a reliable vehicle, a free oil change and a warranty backed by Isuzu at over 215 dealers."

Isuzu low cab forward trucks are distributed through 235 Isuzu truck dealers throughout the U.S. For more information or to request product information from a local dealer, visit www.isuzucv.com or call toll-free (866) 441-9638.
