FactA decade into this generation's run, the Giga became the first heavy-duty truck in Japan to make wheel-detachment warning standard across its entire lineup.
The second-generation Isuzu Giga was unveiled at the 2015 Tokyo Motor Show with a full model change: a redesigned cab shared with the Forward and Elf, improved aerodynamics, an updated interior with digital displays and steering controls, multiple cab configurations and enhanced comfort, keeping the efficiency-upgraded 6UZ1 with improved transmissions and fuel-saving technologies such as Smart Glide, and improved pre-crash braking, lane departure warning and driver support (MIMAMORI and PREISM fleet management). From 2015 to 2018 it gained CNG, improved tractors, the new 6NX1 and LED lighting, with special editions such as the 80th Anniversary model; from 2019 to 2021 pedestrian and cyclist detection, blind spot monitoring, driver monitoring, adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist and the Emergency Driving Stop System, and in 2025 it became the first heavy-duty truck in Japan with a wheel detachment warning system as standard on all models. Model symbols changed from QKG-CYL77 A to QPG-CYL77 B (for example the 6x2). Production ran 2015–2022 for tractors in Japan and 2015–present for the export market and other cargo types; it is launched in Japan, China and Malaysia (Qingling Motors builds the Isuzu VC61 with the 6WG1), and a third-generation UD Quon-based semi-truck model was introduced in March 2023.

Owning one
We don’t estimate running costs for a car like this. What it costs depends on its condition, its specialist and how it is driven, and an average would mislead.

A decade into this generation's run, the Giga became the first heavy-duty truck in Japan to make wheel-detachment warning standard across its entire lineup.
In 1997 the Giga became the first large truck line with SRS airbags and HID headlights as standard safety features.
Rivals
Same body, same money, other badges — tap any card to flip.
When Mazda's E2000 — the truck that became the Titan — launched in January 1964, the factory was tasked with building 1,900 of them a month.
Swaraj Mazda built this truck under license in India from 1985, and the plant survived name changes all the way to SML Isuzu.
Indonesia built this pickup for 28 years with no successor, the last one leaving the Jakarta line in January 2019 after 324,960 units.
Suzuki's first-ever diesel engine, fitted to the Super Carry, is so small that it isn't able to power an air-conditioning system at all.
A right-hand-drive DJ-3A was built so postal drivers could reach roadside mailboxes without leaving the seat.
The Power Wagon name and civilian pickup design were derived directly from the WC-series military trucks Dodge built for World War II.
Suzuki kept the L20 Carry at the exact same 21 hp as its predecessor but still called it progress — the gain was a patented Cylinder Crank Injection lubrication system, not more power.
This generation of Titan quietly became the ancestor of two other trucks entirely: it was license-built by Kia as the Kia Titan in South Korea, and formed the basis of the Australian Ford Trader.
