New reign for Australian trucking's medium-duty king

The undisputed king of medium-duty trucking in Australia just got a whole lot better, with Isuzu Australia Limited (IAL) proud to showcase the raft of new features found within the all-new MY25 F Series range for the very first time. ​ 

With over 36 years of market leadership, Isuzu Trucks is a proven performer across the Australian road transport landscape, and a critical element of this perpetual success is its all-conquering medium-duty product offering—the F Series. * 

Following a string of soft and preview launch events for VIP fleets, suppliers and key partners, IAL can now formally introduce the all-new MY25 F Series to the Australian media and public. 

Raising the bar ​ ​

With this latest release, Isuzu Trucks is once again raising the industry benchmark across the critical safety, performance, driver environment and vehicle operations criteria. ​ ​ 

This expansive new line-up, which is being rolled out within the medium-duty market segment, incorporates tightly specified models spanning a versatile GVM range of 11 to 26 tonnes. ​ ​ 

Encompassing an array of engine, transmissions, suspension and wheelbase variants, the new Isuzu F Series is set to continue its role as the pre-eminent industry taskmaster. 

Look sharp

The prominent new cab design certainly turns heads. Various elements, from the bold grille to distinctive headlamps and newly engineered bumper, come together in a sophisticated and assertive posture. 

Keeping with the visual theme, another design element incorporates a new, full LED lighting package, including daytime running lamps and LED interiors. ​ 

FRR and FSR models have the headlamps integrated into the cab, while the larger FV and F Series 4x4 models receive bumper-mounted lamps completing a sleek and elegant look. 

Safety leap

Aesthetics aside, safety for both the truck operator and other road users is at the heart of the 2025 global model launch of the F Series and for good reason. ​ ​ 

Building on an already imposing safety suite, 2025 bears witness to the single largest leap forward in safety in the history of the Isuzu brand, with a slew of active safety features added to Isuzu’s evolved and improved Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS). 

Every model across the line-up, including popular 4x4 models, benefit from a comprehensive baseline safety suite containing up to 12 active and passive systems. 

The active safety system is informed by Isuzu’s ADAS camera technology, which is now mounted low on the windscreen. On all variants, it is combined with a long-range milli-wave radar located in the centre of the bumper bar. 

New safety standards were a key deliverable for Isuzu in designing and developing the all-new F Series range, and it’s safe to say they’ve more than met the brief. ​

A nice place to be

Another critical focus of the global launch of Isuzu’s new range is a raft of cabin comfort features across every model. 

Be it the brand-new ergonomic ISRI 6860/875 NTS2 climate seat, a new steering wheel with integrated controls and switches, or the large driver’s multi-info display, the all-new F Series cabs are comfortable, intuitive and endorse a genuine car-like driveability. ​ 

There are now day, rest and crew cab variants, and it’s noteworthy that this release marks the first time that the roomier ‘rest’ cab has been available in 4-cylinder F Series models for the Australian market. 

This provides owners and operators of select models with the option of specifying additional cab space, better suited to longer regional or intrastate runs, where more space in the cab is required for gear and equipment, or simply for a more open and accommodating space. 

Harnessing power

Based on several Australian Design Rules (ADRs), including improved emissions standards under ADR 80/04, the 2025 model range introduces cleaner and more powerful engines combined with improved torque output. 

Headline news for the F Series line-up is the introduction of a new 6.7-litre Isuzu DB6A engine, co-developed with Cummins, helping to expand opportunities across medium and heavy-duty segments. 

Built in Isuzu’s Tochigi Engine Plant in Japan and available in 260 PS (191kW) and 300 PS (221kW) ratings, this unique Isuzu collaboration eliminates the need for exhaust gas recirculation (EGR), meaning fewer maintenance requirements, improved combustion efficiency, and fuel economy. ​ 

Both engine variants are mated exclusively with Allison 6-speed Gen Six automatic transmissions and meet Euro-VI emissions standards via a Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) and Diesel Particulate Diffuser (DPD) combination. ​ 

Continued support

Celebrating two decades as Australian trucking’s premiere customer care and support suite, Isuzu Care continues to underpin a range of medium and heavy-duty transport operations across the country. ​ ​ 

Feeding into purchase considerations at a growing rate, MY25 F Series Care offers a six-year factory warranty and six years of 24/7 roadside assist as standard across most of the range (excluding some harsh application models). ​ 

Isuzu’s service agreement packages continue to be a core plank in this uptime arsenal, too, offering customers affordable, ‘set and forget’ maintenance and repair support across the country. ​ 

With its MY25 F Series release, Australia’s ‘go-to’ medium-duty trucking solution is more compelling than ever, offering more operational flexibility, efficiency, safety, and comfort, whatever the application may be.
