Engines: 10-litretichesel, 130hp/280Nm; 5.2-11tret/diesel, 175fip/500Nm Transmissions: 5spd manual, 6spd manual, 5spd semi-automatic Chassis: 4x2; 5,0201,500kg GVW Wheelbases: 3,355-4,475mm MODELS TESTED/PUBLISHED: NOR 6 February 2003 It might not be seen as a 'proper truck but the lsuzu is capable of tackling heavy work without wincing. Available at 5.0t, 6.2t (NPR), and 7.5t (NOR) the inclusion of the standard automated transmission (Easyshift) is what makes it stand out.
This opens it up to novices and part-time drivers alike who don't want to be overwhelmed when occasionally in the driving seat-and it works well, complementing the Isuzu's forgiving nature.
You also get a firm ride that avoids any significant roll In the corners, though the cabin suffers from the reduced space syndrome that affects this type of setup. It also lacks a level of attractiveness that could rescue the cause. But this shouldn't detract from what is an honest load carrier that also comes with some serious payload, when compared to 'proper trucks'.
LIKES AND OBLIKES...
✓ Competitive payload
• Standard automatic gearbox ✓ Cheaper than a 'truck' x Small cab lacks quality x Engines a little lethargic
