The Isuzu i-Series mid-size pickup truck line was launched at the 2005 New York International Auto Show. The i-Series replaced the Isuzu Hombre, which has been out of production since 2000.

Like the Hombre, the i-Series shared its platform with the General Motors mid-size pickups. It was built at the same plant in Shreveport, Louisiana which produces the Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon, which were in turn developed off the cab and chassis of the Thai-built Isuzu D-Max by GM, Isuzu, and GM do Brasil. The sales for the i-Series were poor, with just 1,377 sold from the start of production through February 2006 according to Automotive News.

As part of Isuzu's withdrawal from the United States market after the 2009 model year, the i-Series was discontinued, and was replaced by the related Hummer H3T for GM's Hummer brand.
