Did Isuzu pick up the medium duty line?

This rumor shows up occasionally....

Story was it came close to happening back in early 2009, but I have not heard anything since about Isuzu talking over the mediums.

Reason for asking- I was on my way home from work a week or so ago and saw a 4500 that had Isuzu name tag on it. This was in Houston on I10 just west of downtown.

You sure it was a 4500? Isuzu sold the 7500 as an H-series for a year I believe, but there were only about 350 ever sold.

I am about 90% sure. I looked at the truck (hard to do going 70) b/c it looked the same as mine (don't we all look?). And then I seen Isuzu on the hood right by the 4500. AS I passed it, I was thinking "man that sure looks like a Chevy, I need to ask the Diesel Place guys about this".

Well, I guess technically it does have an Isuzu designed and built engine in the 2500-5500.........;)
