caption_attribution_description: English: Isuzu Forward, Good Design Award 1985.
context_page_description: The Isuzu Forward is a line of medium-duty commercial vehicles manufactured by Isuzu since 1970, following the earlier TY model which occupied the same slot in the market. All F-series trucks are cab over designs and the cabin comes fully built from the factory. Most models come with a diesel engine; but, some markets get CNG derivatives as well. The F-series is available a variety of cab styles, engines, 4WD or 2WD depending on the market it is sold. Most trucks are assembled in Japan; however, they are locally assembled from CKD kits in some countries.
  Most mid-size and big-size models of the truck are distinguishable by a front 'Forward' badge; but the common Isuzu badge is usually used on the rear. Confusingly, the smaller Isuzu Elf has been sold as the "GMC Forward" in the United States and other markets.
  The Isuzu Forward is among the commercial grade trucks used by the Japan Ground Self-Defense Force for rear line duties.
context_section_description: The Third generation forward was launched in June 1985 as the successor to the first and second generation forwards, the design is based on the 810's cab design and it was the first truck to win the Good Design Award.
  The FTR, FVR, FSR and FRR are all equipped with naturally aspirated and turbocharged isuzu 6BG1 and 6HE1 engines mated to the six-speed manual or NAVi6 six-speed automatic gearbox with an optional ABS. A 1992-1994 Isuzu Forward truck appears in a scene of Studio Ghibli's 1994 animated movie Pom Poko.
