These Trucks have been sold without towing braking equipment.
MY22 FV* and FTR models were launched in 2022 with a new Electronic Braking System (EBS) with Electronic Stability Control (ESC) functionality (EBS + ESC). The EBS + ESC system used by Isuzu is supplied by Knorr-Bremse, a German brake system specialist.
Should any of these chassis are to be equipped for towing heavy trailers (that is, with ATM > 4,500 kg) the EBS + ESC requires additional modifications for the trailer control signals to be communicated to and from the heavy trailer using an appropriate Trailer Control Valve and TCV Module.
This must be undertaken with the fitment of the Isuzu / Knorr-Bremse TCV and TCVM components to all applicable MY22 FTR and FV models, using a locally developed kit that uses many Isuzu-sourced parts.
These kits can be obtained from Isuzu.
