Isuzu Utility Truck

[Nac]

Well i ordered a new 2007 Isuzu NPR HD with a 11' Service body.
Should have the truck in two weeks so it can go in to get painted black and green. The body should be ready in 4 weeks painted black. I endeded up geting a 11' Knaphide open service body with the insidedof the bed and top of the box with Rhino lining and also there are going to be putting a 18" custom platform on the rear to mount a small crane.

G,day Nac, we are looking at the 4 wheel drive version for our Tools Truck...a bit like this one: Let us know how it goes.

 

[Squizzy246B]

Well??...have you got it yet??

 

[Nac]

Well not yet not all of it the chassis was delivered to my painter today to get painted and it is going out next week for the body.

 

[Squizzy246B]

Ok, just don't forget the pics...are you getting it written as well?. Did the factory body not suit or are they not available there?.

 

[Nac]

No such thing as a factory body for an Isuzu here in the states all the bodys are aftermarket.

Squizzy what is the roof rack over the cab on the Isuzu? Does it hold wheelbarrows or is it more for cab protection when using the crane? just curious

That vehicle is fully specced for the mines. The frame is ROPs.

I like it! Would you let us know the fuel milage and how you like it after you drive it a while? How much does it weigh including the box?

Thanks for the pictures.

Hey Nac, how is the Isuzu going?

 

[Nac]

So far very good. Will be lettering it this week and have a Hiab crane on order. Will try to set up the boxes today with all my tools and supplies. Will post some more pics soon

We just got the full blown quote from the dealer for a NPR 400 with AMT

 

[Squizzy246B]

Hi Nac, I was wondering how your utility truck was going. What model is that?..its looks like what we call an NPR 300 here.

 

[Nac]

It is a NPR HD 14,500 GVW 5.2 Diesel. It has been very good so far mounted a generator and air compressor on the sides and will be monting a Hiab 013 on the rear bumper in the spirng.

 

[T Red]

What HP is the 5.2 and is it enough?

What HP is the 5.2 and is it enough?

T Red...The model numbers are a little different down here but the 5.2 engine is generally specced at 175 Hp. The truck I drove when test driving had plenty of power and was very smooth in midrange. The think to remember is the Japenese look to get the work down with good gearing for the job.
