GVW from the manufacturer’s brochure, as on each model’s page. Bed or crane 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.
