3,500kg Wheelbase: 2,505-2,765 mm Bodies: 4xL, 3xH Load volume: Chassis-cab, dropsider, tipper MODEL TESTED/PUBLISHED: SWB 3.5 8 July 2004 If payload and unrivalled customer support are what you crave in your 3.5-tonner, then look no further. I suzu's NKR offers one of the best payloads in the sector and the company has built a formidable reputation for ensuring the customer is king, queen and jack if that's what you want. If you're looking for room in-cab and classleading driveability however, then we'd be inclined to point you in the direction of other forward control 3.5-tonners. In our experience the lsuzu falls behind the pack on both counts.
The 3.0-litre common rail engine has taken much of the noise from the cab evident in the previous model and at Euro-4 this engine gets a torque boost, while the NEES-2 auto box will be a welcome addition for drivers on city work.
If lsuzu addressed the quality and design of the cab, particularly on the inside, then we'd have no hesitation recommending the NKR as a first pick.
