Isuzu NMR85H

Mid-weight distribution, all day

Isuzu NMR85H cab chassis, front three-quarter view on a dark studio ground, showing the bare frame rails behind the cab where a body is fitted.

A 5.5-tonne chassis powered by the proven 4JJ1-TCC common-rail engine, with a self-adjusting clutch and 35% gradeability. The default choice for distributors who have outgrown a pickup but do not need a full 8-tonner.

Specifications
