^^^ I don't think anyone here is so naive as to think that the Japanese don't make medium and heavy duty trucks. We just don't see many here since it's hard for them to compete due to import taxes. Japanese cabovers up to about 19K GVWR are very popular, and up until 10 years ago or so, Isuzu imported trucks up to 50K GVWR. I've driven a couple of 24 foot Isuzu box trucks and they drive very nicely.
Also they are Cabovers as well. Isuzu's you have driven would be classified as a Light Medium Truck here with the small 5.2 litre Diesel. Isuzu's go up to 15litres in capacity. 4x4 Isuzu's are the basis for some Truck Camper and Expedition Vehicles..Isuzu's are the equivalent of Freightliner and Volvo in the US as regards heavy Trucks
