Limited-edition model latest addition to Ready-to-Work range
Isuzu Trucks has bolstered its Ready-to-Work off-road range with the limited edition NLS 45-150 all-wheel drive Traypack.
The provisional addition of the NLS 45-150 AWD Traypack delivers another factory-backed, pre-bodied Ready-to-Work solution to Isuzu’s off-road line-up.
It comprises 4,500kg gross vehicle mass (GVM) and a gross combination mass (GCM) of 8,000kg, meaning up to 4,000kg towing capacity.
The NLS can be driven on standard passenger car licence, an advantage for team-based council, civil or construction work, Isuzu notes.
It makes use of a single speed transfer case incorporating a viscous coupling drive to the front wheels.
The secure on-demand, part-time all-wheel drive functionality means the driver can switch between both two and all-wheel operation via a dashboard-mounted switch (after manually locking the front hubs).
Isuzu’s independent front suspension (IFS) also finds a home in this special edition model.
Isuzu recently made some updates to its tipper range
It uses the NLR platform’s Isuzu 4JJ1-TCS, 4-cylinder, 16-valve engine, outputting 110kW at 2,800rpm.
Its flat torque curve provides max torque of 375Nm (277 lb-ft) from 1,600 to 2,800rpm.
For improved safety all NLS models feature ABS and ASR traction control, hill start aid, driver and passenger airbag and ECE-R29 cab strength compliance, while driver and passenger comfort is aided by integrated air conditioning, a contoured adjustable driver’s seat, central locking, electric windows and mirrors and an updated multimedia system.
The factory-backed, heavy duty aluminium tray body comes with integrated load restraint anchor points, headboard including rear window protector, removable drop sides and rear tailgate as well as an Isuzu reversing camera.
According to Isuzu national sales manager Les Spaltman, the ‘limited’ nature of this model makes it more attractive.
“Those in the market for a highly capable, go-anywhere work vehicle simply must take a closer look at this limited-edition model,” Spaltman says.
“From its all-wheel drive capability to its factory backed body, the NLS AWD Traypack has just about every base covered, regardless of the task at hand.
“We’re running this sales program for a set time and there’s limited units available, so we’re urging those in the market for a tough, rugged, genuine work truck to get along to your local dealership and take a drive.”
