Since 1916, Queensland has adored Isuzu’s wide range of light, medium, and heavy-duty diesel-powered vehicles. As the gateway to the Bowen Basin and a key region for mining, logistics, and trade, Central Queensland relies on Isuzu’s reliable diesel engines and robust dealer support networks, such as Western Truck Group, for the power and longevity they provide.

Regional durability

Australia’s construction sites, agricultural sites, and warehouses can be hot, dusty, and humid, with rough access tracks and heavy loads. Isuzu know this, which is why they’ve built trucks that can handle Australia’s most strenuous conditions. These trucks are built with strong materials and advanced Isuzu engineering, allowing them to handle rough terrain and heavy loads effortlessly, saving you time and money with far fewer replacements. Even long-haul delivery is a piece of cake for an Isuzu truck.

Safety features

Isuzu trucks have UV / IR glass, which not only keeps the cabin temperature comfortable and low, but also protects your skin with 59% infrared ray protection and 99% ultraviolet ray protection in the windscreen and 90% in the door and backlight glass.

But Isuzu saves more than just your skin. Isuzu trucks come equipped with a whole host of safety features to protect you and your cargo. Advanced braking systems, for example, will keep your journey smooth and safe, while stability control will keep even the most delicate loads intact. Then there are Isuzu’s visibility enhancements, letting you see more of the road, even from the cab of the tallest truck. This is on top of the way Isuzu have adapted their trucks towards a range of different industries. 

Low maintenance

Don’t you just hate it when your machines break down mid-job? You have to scrabble to figure out what the problem is, where to go to get your truck fixed, and where to source the parts. You don’t have to worry about any of this with an Isuzu truck. Isuzu engineers their vehicles with the highest-quality components and parts, for a greatly reduced risk of unexpected breakdowns. When the worst does happen, our telematics systems let us know exactly what the problem is ahead of time, so all you have to do is bring your Isuzu truck in for its self-scheduled appointment.

Strong support

It’s not just us who provide strong support for your Isuzu vehicle. Isuzu backs its trucks and vehicles with comprehensive warranties. They even put a lot of work and testing into ensuring their 250+ accessible, genuine parts are built to the highest standards. Their Isuzu Genuine parts are engineered for long-lasting durability in Australian conditions, with a 1-year warranty when they’re fitted outside of an Isuzu dealer, or a 3-year warranty when fitted by an Isuzu dealer like us.

Then there’s Isuzu Care, redefining customer care expectations since 2006. When you buy an Isuzu truck, as part of their service and support program, you get a 6-year factory warranty, 6-year 24/7 roadside assist, and access to national fleet support and Customer Relationship Management (CRM).

Resale value

Isuzu are such a well-loved brand in Mackay and throughout Australia, for so many reasons. Whether it’s due to their heavy-duty build or reliability, Isuzu vehicles are in high demand. So, it’s no surprise that Isuzu trucks retain their market value so well in comparison to other competing commercial vehicle brands, with most still retaining over 60% of their value, even 3 years later (when the warranty expires!)—a great thing to know when the time comes to sell your Isuzu fleet on.

Ready-to-Work

In some Mackay industries, people have to customise their vehicles. In construction, safety sensors might have to be fitted after purchase, while in the haulage industry, an ergonomic fatigue-reducing cabin and plenty of power is a must. But wouldn’t it be great if you could just get to work without the need to waste precious time fitting all these accessories and customisations after buying your fleet? Isuzu know how annoying this is. That’s why they’ve developed their Ready-to-Work range of trucks. Isuzu cram performance, comfort, and safety features into the light truck base that you already love. From the Traypack up to the Vanpack and the Freightpack, Isuzu’s Ready-to-Work range has all the safety features and driving efficiencies you need to do your job as well as possible, with a sleek new cab design always built to Isuzu’s high standards.
