Fraser Coast Isuzu Trucks has announced it has opened a brand-new dealership for truck owners in Queensland’s Wide Bay-Burnett region.
The brand has officially opened its doors in Bundaberg after joining the Isuzu family late last year. Previously there was a temporary site in the region, but now Fraser Coast Isuzu is officially operating out of the newly built facility.
The 2,300sqm facility is located in Thabeban and features a large sales showroom and service area with a dozen 6.5m long service bays.
The office, showroom and service centre share a 99kW solar system and an 80,000L rainwater tank to supply the truck wash bay and amenities. It also serves as an important new hub for the Prime Truck Group, which oversees Sunshine Coast Isuzu Trucks in Kunda Park.
Prime Truck Group dealer principal Russell Edwards says the new location is a strategic move for the company after it established itself with Isuzu in 2023.
“Prime Truck Group’s investment in building a brand-new Isuzu dealership in Bundaberg is a strategic move to strengthen our relationship with Isuzu and meet the growing demand for commercial vehicles in the region,” he says.
“The new facility not only enhances accessibility to Isuzu’s quality range of trucks for the Bundaberg community and surrounding regions but also positions us to support businesses with the latest model variants and advanced service capabilities.

“It will also offer local employment opportunities for those looking to move forward with their careers in the heavy vehicle industry.”
The expansion coincides with the release of Isuzu’s new truck model range this year, with Fraser Coast Isuzu Trucks dealer manager Rod Cusack saying the timing is critical to plan the new dealership.
“Isuzu has consistently led the Australian truck market for decades, and with the upcoming release of new generation models, we are sure to see increased demand for these high-performing vehicles,” he says.
“With its vibrant economy and growing industries, the Bundaberg area requires a solid supply of modern, efficient trucks to meet its logistics, agriculture, and local transport sectors.
“Prime Truck Group is committed to meeting the evolving demands of the market and further solidifying its position as a key player in the ranks of Australian truck dealerships.”
Isuzu Australia director and chief of sales and aftersales Ben Lasry says Fraser Coast Isuzu Trucks is a vital link in the larger dealer network that includes more than 70 dealerships and authorised service and parts outlets across the country.
“Isuzu Australia is delighted to see this fantastic facility join the network and bolster our operations in Queensland,” he says.
“Isuzu is not just built on quality trucks; our dealers always strive to offer our customers the best sales and service experience, with the new Fraser Coast Isuzu Trucks dealership being a great example of how they achieve this.
“The commitment from Prime Truck Group to Isuzu has been outstanding to date, so we have every confidence they will continue to provide exceptional support throughout the Wide Bay-Burnett region.
“New models will be on the showroom floor soon, which will be just the icing on the cake for the fantastic team at Fraser Coast and their customers.”
Fraser Coast Isuzu Trucks can be found at 16-22 Charlie Triggs Crescent, Thabeban.
