Anaheim, California – Izusu Commerical Truck of America, Inc. has announced that their new 2022 F-Series trucks will include the Cummins B6.7 diesel engine as part of the Isuzu Cummins Powertrain Partnership (ICPP). Aimed at the U.S. and Canadian Markets, ICPP was formed in 2019 to bring the Cummins B6.7 engine and six-speed Allison RDS Transmission to Isuzu’s new FTR and FVR medium-duty commercial vehicles.
“The addition of the Cummins B6.7 diesel engine is one of many exciting developments for the Isuzu F-Series truck. Moving forward we believe the Cummins B6.7 will create broader appeal and will open up new sales opportunities for our dealer network,” said Shaun Skinner, President of Isuzu Commercial Truck of America and Isuzu Commercial Truck of Canada.
The 2022 F-Series will be available in two models, the FTR and the FVR, with the option for a de-rated Class 6 FVR in addition to eight different wheelbases that will be available for both models. The Class 6 FTR will have a gross vehicle weight rating of 25,950lbs and the Class 7 FVR will have a GWVR of 33,000lbs. The low cab forward design of the vehicles maximizes payload capacity, visibility, comfort and versatility, supporting a variety of truck bodies for different applications.
A 50-degree inner wheel cut allows the F-Series turning diameters between 43.7ft and 65ft depending on the selected wheelbase, and the addition of the Cummins engine offers 260hp and 660lb-ft of torque, the most powerful version of the B6.7 engine.
“The advanced, more powerful Cummins B6.7 powertrain will create new opportunities for our U.S. and Canadian dealers at a very opportune time. With our recent addition of Class 5 gas-powered N-Series models and now the Cummins-powered Isuzu F-Series, our product lineup has never been as broad for the growing medium-duty market,” Skinner said.
“The Cummins B6.7 has a legacy that goes back almost 40 years, so we’re excited to see it in the Isuzu F-Series,” said Rob Neitzke, Executive Director of Cummins On-Highway OEM Business. “It gives Class 6 and 7 truck buyers in the U.S. and Canadian markets new ways to experience the B6.7, with configurations that don’t exist today.”
