Rush Truck Centers Opens new Denver Locations
COMMERCE CITY, COLORADO — Rush Truck Centers has officially opened its two newest locations in the Denver area. The Peterbilt/Isuzu shop is located at 6955 East 50th Ave. in Commerce City, on Denver’s northeast side, directly across the street from the company’s newest Ford Medium duty-truck center.

Rush Truck Centers first teamed with Ford in 2006, and the new Denver facility brings the total number of joint operations to seven, including Oklahoma City, Dallas, Orlando, Whittier, Cincinnati and Las Vegas.
Rush added Isuzu to its medium-duty lineup in 1986, and Isuzu trucks are now offered at 22 locations nationwide.
