Commentary
In the mid 60’s, heavy-duty trucks were banned from the urban area due to a traffic chaos. It positively boosted the demand on 4-ton trucks, and ISUZU launched TY trucks, the first generation FORWARD.
Its semi-cab-over type, unique and dynamic design, allowed even front and rear weight distribution by shifting the front wheel forward.
It was the Japan’s first truck equipped with a window on the lower portion of the side door in order to increase the driver’s visibility.
