Isuzu Australia Limited (IAL) has kicked off its popular Truck of the Year competition for the 28th consecutive year – and it’s open to Isuzu truck owners right around the country.
The competition sees hundreds of Isuzu trucks entered annually from across a range of trades and industries.
Originally published in Isuzu’s Truckpower magazine – collected from Isuzu Trucks dealer-ships – the competition remains true to its origins in print but has moved predominantly online with a monthly blog shared across Isuzu Australia’s social media and Content Hub.
IAL Marketing and Advertising Manager Sam Gangemi said Isuzu Australia was thrilled to welcome Isuzu truck owners to another year of the competition.
“Life on the road is never dull, and neither are the entrants and the Isuzu trucks that support them,” said Gangemi.
“The competition truly serves to highlight that Australian flair for ingenuity and drive to create the perfect rig, whether it’s a truck being used in trade, waste, freight movement or a dozen other industries.
“Every year, we are blown away by the calibre of trucks and also the support of our customers who rely on Isuzu for their transport,” he continued.
“We can’t wait to see what 2025 has in store!”
The Truck of the Year competition opened on March 3, 2025 and closes on December 1, 2025. Entrants can find instructions on how to enter, plus a full list of terms and conditions here.
Multiple prizes are up for grabs, from monthly Isuzu Trucks merchandise prize packs and generous cash prizes to PR opportunities with Isuzu Trucks that can take business exposure to the next level.
Monthly winners will receive an Isuzu Trucks merchandise pack valued at $300 RRP.
For ‘Series’ Prize winners (one each from Isuzu’s N, F, FX/FY truck series), a $1500 cash prize is awarded, with one of the three kingpins then going on to score the title of Isuzu’s Truck of the Year and the massive Grand Prize of $6000.
Last year, Sydney Side Plumbing won the title of the top truck with an NLR 45-150, which sports a highly customised body for carrying plumbing and leak detection equipment.
The business loves the nimble plumber’s truck for its manoeuvrability around Sydney streets and its payload for the specialised equipment onboard.
“We’ve designed a custom NLR 45-150 that’s equipped with everything for our business of leak detection and plumbing in Sydney,” said Sydney Side Plumbing Director Mohammad Mourad.
“My Isuzu truck has a high-pressure water jet out the back, PVC pipe holders on top, and emergency lights and an LED board that can display messages while working on the road.”
