Every Isuzu truck takes a general cargo body: low drop-side, fixed high-sided, or a fully enclosed steel box. Standard bodies run from 3.0 m long on the NLR77E to 7.5 m on the FVZ34. For electronics and dry food, an insulated dry-cargo body keeps the load clean and secure.
Body options
- Low drop-side
- Fixed high-sided
- Fully enclosed corrugated steel box
- Insulated dry-cargo body (electronics, dry foodstuff)
- Container flat bed (FVZ34, GXZ)

GVW from the manufacturer’s brochure, as on each model’s page. Standard body (L × W × H) are typical body-builder figures from the Isuzu East Africa Truck Application Guide, March 2022; the body built for you may differ. What a truck can legally carry depends on the body fitted, so check your load in the payload calculator or ask TMD.
