B10 DURABILITY RATING OF ISUZU 4HK1-TC

ENGINE INCREASED TO 375,000 MILES
Legendary Engine is Fitted to Isuzu’s Newest and Most Popular Diesel Trucks

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind.—Isuzu Commercial Truck of America, Inc., distributor of America’s

best-selling low cab forward trucks, today announced that the B10 durability rating of its 4HK1-
TC diesel engine has been increased to 375,000 miles. The company made the announcement
today at the National Truck Equipment Association’s 2017 Work Truck Show in Indianapolis.
A “B10-life” rating is an industry-standard gauge provided by engine makers to help consumers
determine the long-term durability of an engine. The number following the “B” indicates the
percentage of an engine’s population that will require an overhaul before the indicated mileage.
That means that 90% of Isuzu 4HK1-TC engines are expected to last 375,000 miles before they
require a major repair or rebuild.
Previously, the 4HK1-TC engine carried an already-robust B10 durability rating of 310,000
miles.
“We are proud to say that Isuzu diesel engines are already known worldwide for their long-term
dependability,” said Shaun Skinner, president of Isuzu Commercial Truck of America, Inc. “Our
new B-10 rating is strong evidence that our engines are even more durable than ever.”
The turbocharged, intercooled 4HK1-TC four-cylinder diesel engine displaces 5.2 liters and
generates 215 horsepower. Torque ratings vary depending on model.
The engine is fitted to Isuzu NPR-HD, NPR-XD, NQR and NRR models, as well as the all-new
2018 Isuzu FTR Class 6 truck. Each of these models is backed by a three-year/unlimited mileage
powertrain limited warranty.
