Isuzu engines are used by many of the most famous brands in motoring including Renault, Nissan and General Motors, and can be found in buses, vans and even general road cars around the world.

 Isuzu Forward

An upgrade on the old NQR model, the Isuzu N75 Forward Truck was launched in April 2008. You can expect to find a 5.2-litre diesel engine that produces 190bhp and, with the majority of models, an automatic Easyshift gearbox as standard. To further underline the Forward range of trucks performance, the payload is between 4.46 and 4.7 tonnes.

Available as a dropside or tipper, the Grafter range of trucks are as economical as they are reliable. Their four-cylinder engines produce an impressive 150bhp, having enough power for a 3.5 tonne vehicle. Grafters can also be modified to make boxes, curtainsiders or even fridge boxes if you need to make a few changes.

NPR Range

Phased out in 2008 to make way for the Isuzu N50 Forward at five tonnes GVW and Isuzu N62 Forward at 6.2 tonnes GVW, this range has a good reputation among drivers who need a little extra payload. Offering an intermediate option for drivers who want to carry more than 3.5 tonnes but don’t need to lug around over 7.5 tonnes, they were and still are popular as recovery vehicles.

Isuzu NPR Truck

 Although replaced by the Isuzu N75 in 2008, the NQR 7.5 tonner is still the most popular Isuzu in the UK today. Built with a lightweight chassis, these trucks have a payload capacity of 4.7 tonnes. This, coupled with the crew cab that came with some models, explains why many NQR trucks were used as recovery vehicles.
