ANAHEIM, CA —Isuzu Commercial Truck of America, Inc. announced a major enhancement to its popular Isuzu Gold Star coverage pre-owned truck program.
In addition to existing 3-month/10,000-mile, 6-month/20,000-mile and 12-month/30,000-mile coverage for major powertrain components, Isuzu dealers will now be able to offer powertrain component coverage for 24 months/50,000 miles (whichever comes first) on qualified vehicles.

Isuzu also announced the new Gold Star Plus Program, which covers fuel injectors, fuel injection pump, turbocharger, turbo control module, alternator, starter and water pump for 12 months or 20,000 miles.
Gold Star and Gold Star Plus limited warranty coverage will be available on select inspected and qualified 2005 model year and newer Isuzu-built N-Series and W-Series diesel-engine vehicles with less than 170,000 miles and gasoline-engine vehicles with less than 100,000 miles.
“The average Isuzu Class-3 to Class-5 vehicle is traded in after about six and a half years,” according to Shaun Skinner, executive vice president and general manager of Isuzu Commercial Truck of America. “Many of these vehicles have what we consider low mileage, considering that our diesel models have a B-10 engine life of 310,000 miles and our gasoline trucks have an engine design life of 200,000 miles. So offering extended major powertrain component coverage on qualified and thoroughly inspected pre-owned Isuzu trucks makes sense for our dealers and makes sense for our customers.”

Beyond the peace of mind offered by extended powertrain coverage, all Isuzu Gold Star limited warranties include roadside assistance for the time/mileage duration of the selected warranty, along with a coupon for a free oil change at a participating Isuzu dealer.
No additional dealer inspections are required for a qualified Isuzu truck to be eligible for the new 24-month/50,000-mile Gold Star or 12-month/20,000-mile Gold Star Plus limited warranties.

“As a result, the Isuzu Gold Star continues our Pre–Owned truck program that represents real value for both our customers and our dealers,” said Skinner.
Isuzu launched the original Gold Star program in October 2009. The coverage is available at 294 authorized Isuzu commercial truck dealers throughout the United States.

CAR’s annual Fleet Remarketing Awards opened a reimagined 2026 conference designed to bridge the worlds of fleet management and automotive remarketing.
The 2026 Conference of Automotive Remarketing convened with a mandate to involve a new constituency — fleet managers — and an updated mission to demonstrate unrealized value in de-fleeted vehicles.
From a Wall Street analyst's take on remarketing's key players to whether fleets need their own version of Carfax, CAR 2026's afternoon roundtables will answer key operational and industry questions.
The enhanced technology allows rental car operations, dealerships, and auctions to compare a vehicle’s condition at pickup and drop-off within the same rental or loaner record.
A panel at the 2026 Conference of Automotive Remarketing will examine how resale value is created across the vehicle lifecycle and which traditional remarketing practices still deliver ROI.
Smart operational and spec'ing decisions can dramatically improve both the total cost of ownership during use and the resale value when it's time to remarket day cabs.
