Spotlighting a new OEM innovation
General Motors' exit from the low
cab forward medium-duty market
lasted roughly fi ve years. The Detroit
automaker announced last month
that would bring the trucks back
with six models beginning with the
2016 model year.
The Chevrolet 3500, 3500HD,
4500, 4500HD, 5500 and 5500 HD
are based on Isuzu's N-Series, and
GM says the company will receive
the rebadged trucks from Isuzu
directly and distribute them through
Chevrolet dealers.
GM says the 3500 and 4500
model trucks will be available with
a 6.0-liter V-8 Chevrolet gas engine
and six-speed automatic transmis-
sion. An Isuzu-sourced 3.0-liter will
be available in 3500HD models and
an Isuzu-sourced 5.2-liter turbo-
diesel engines will be available in
4500HD, 5500 and 5500HD models.
Regular cab only will be avail-
able in 3500HD and 5500HD mod-
els. All other models will feature
a regular or crew cab option, the
company says.
