Isuzu N-Series
Light and medium trucks, 4.1 – 8.5 tonnes GVW
The N-Series is the truck that moves Kenya. From the compact NLR threading through town centres to the NQR Xtra at 8.5 tonnes, every model shares a tilt cab that makes servicing quick, an engine your mechanic already understands, and parts on the shelf at all six TMD branches. There is a reason the NQR is the most recognisable shape on the Nairobi–Nakuru highway.

Questions
Buying an N-Series in Kenya
What payload can an Isuzu NQR81K carry in Kenya?
The NQR81K is rated at 8,000 kg gross vehicle weight against a cab chassis mass of 2,760 kg, leaving roughly 5,240 kg. Fitting a body reduces that by the body's own mass, so confirm the final figure with your TMD sales consultant before ordering.
What is the difference between the NQR81K and the NQR Xtra?
Both use the same 4,778 cc 4HL1-TCS engine and 4x2 layout. The NQR Xtra is rated 500 kg higher at 8,500 kg GVW and runs a longer 4,475 mm wheelbase against the NQR81K's 3,815 mm, so it carries more and takes a longer body.
Which N-Series model is available in 4x4?
The NPS81H is the 4x4 model in the range, rated at 7,500 kg GVW with a 4,778 cc 4HL1-TCS engine and 39% gradeability — the highest in the N-Series. It is the usual choice for construction sites, boreholes, county works and fire or ambulance conversions.
Can TMD arrange financing for an N-Series truck?
Yes. TMD works with leading Kenyan banks and asset-finance partners. Submit a quote request and a consultant will structure the deposit and repayment period against your cash flow.
