2024 ISUZU FTR
Filed Nov 17, 2024
This was a rental truck and I am not the owner, just the operator. The headlights are too bright and I have almost been crashed onto when other drivers were blinded by the headlights. I am not sure but believe this is the first year this model truck has these bright led headlights.

This is a long term rental truck, 2024 Isuzu FTR, and not owned by me. The headlights are too bright. Other drivers flash me thinking I have the brights on but they are the regular headlights. My wife was driving in front of me in a car and almost crashed because she said my headlights are too bright and blinded her. The dealer said they are aimed correct and are just bright. The truck is brand new and never been in an accident.
