Not sure yet i have not run it over the weigh bridge, it will have a **** payload same as any other 3.5 tonner

 

 

The Japanese trucks look like they carry it better though, same chassis as the 7.5t trucks I believe? Bigger and better engines too.

Very nice truck

Isuzu make a 5.5tonner, apparently the dealer says its the same vehicle that has been down plated for the uk. Engine is the same they put in 7.5 ton Izusu, my old transit has been a 100% reliable work horse only ever let me down once, I just think the now ones look flimsy in comparison.

Looking at your box... 500-700kg?

Just enough for my snap box and flask then lol

This is our new van to replace my poor old transit, 150 bhp custom built box, just needs sign writing

 

 

Nice looking bit of kit. Curious but barn doors on the back or just a low back?

I have run the older version of that Simon for 4 yrs, the nkr77, been superb and still is, there a down plated 5t and do carry weight well, a van is built to 3.5t so not as robust, out Renault master is better on a run but not in the same class work wise, where did you get that from as I'm pretty sure I'm going to sell the van and run another new Isuzu.

It came from HRVS in Sheffield, i went to Steadplan in leeds but at the time their salesman had left and the woman i was dealing with knew nothing about the vehicles and kept having to come back to me via email! they had no vehicles in to test drive either! i think if you get the 120 bhp version its around 20 grand which int bad for a new van.

Barn doors at the top and the bottom drops down like a transit, was just going to have barn doors but there's a good chance of logs smashing lights etc on the back of the van.

No its not bad at all for that truck, was the arb back extra or did they put it on?

This is a lwb 150 version, Brittip cut the chassis down, made the tool box and built the body from scratch, it cost just over 33 grand with the vat. the tool box, ally tipper tow bar was around 10 grand! don't think id pay that much for an arb conversion again though, its s good body just a few things let it down which for the money it should be perfect

Lot of money for a 3.5t truck but they are good and it will serve you well, run it ten years and it's cost 3k a year and still be worth something.
