2006 Isuzu Pickups Offer Longest Powertrain Limited Warranty of Any Pickup Trucks on U.S. Market

Seven-Year Coverage Beats Every Other Pickup in America, Any Brand, Any Size

CERRITOS, Calif., Aug. 25 -- According to a survey of manufacturer websites, third-party automotive specification sources and consumer brochures, the all-new Isuzu i-280 and i-350 Pickups offer the longest powertrain limited warranty on any pickup truck sold in the U.S. market for the 2006 model year.

Isuzu's 7-year/75,000-mile powertrain limited warranty is from two to four years longer than any other powertrain warranty offered on a 2006 model year pickup truck of any size in the U.S.

The 3-year/50,000-mile basic "bumper-to-bumper" limited warranty offered by Isuzu is also 14,000 miles longer than the basic limited warranties provided by Honda, Nissan, Subaru, Toyota, Chevrolet, Dodge, Ford, or GMC. And Isuzu's 6-year/100,000-mile limited warranty against perforation from corrosion is one year longer than the anti-corrosion warranties provided by Honda, Mazda, Nissan, Subaru, Toyota, Dodge, Ford or Lincoln.

Figures in the following chart refer to pickup truck warranty coverage only, and indicate years/mileage, whichever comes first.
