The new lsuzu light middleweignt/ middleweight range from 3.5 to 18 tonnes, with both 'Grafter' and 'Forward models featuring the same modular design cabs and. for the first time, heavier chassis above 7.5 tonnes.
We Like
Comprehensive coverage of the light middleweight/heavy middleweight sector with fourand six-cylinder EGR engines up to 300hp, and day, crew and rest cab options.
No-nonsense build quality is backed up by an impressive threeyear warranty package and standard spec looks good too.
We're not sure
We'd like to see final kerb weight figures for the 18-tanner and a bit more dedicated storage around the dash. We'd also want to road test the new Euro-4 EGR engines before being completely comfortable on fuel economy.
We think
At last, something new to choose from in the middleweight market. lsuzu's expanded model range MI clearly appeal to existing lsuzu buyers that already rate the marques service and backup.
But short(er) delivery times could also play into lsuzuS hands and woo customers away from other European manufacturers.
