The popular range of N-Series models available from Isuzu Trucks New Zealand is continuing to expand with two new variants of the NLR250 confirmed for its national  dealership network.

These new models are from the ‘Ready-to-work’ range and as such, are factory fitted with flat deck tray and tow bar already fitted. To this comes Isuzu flexibility in transmissions, with manuals and AMT transmissions available in either short, medium and long wheelbases.  

“With the introduction of the new NLR250 TrayPack model,” says Isuzu Trucks NZ general manager Dave Ballantyne, “we are expanding the ‘Ready-To-Work’ range, which already features N and F Series tipper models that arrive in-country fully built-up from Japan.

“The new TrayPack features a locally fitted drop side lightweight tray that will appeal to the industry in general, especially tradies looking for more carrying capacity, who would typically use a ute for day-to-day work.

“The TrayPack offers the advantage of having a GVM of 5,500kg, meaning it can be driven on a Class 1 licence.

“N-Series tippers have proven to be one of the best-selling models in our portfolio, offering both single and three-way tipping models, crew cab variants and standard features such as two-way tailgates and body lockdown mechanism.

“Our customers have expressed a strong desire for new ‘Ready-To-Work’ options in the N-Series truck range, so we’re pleased to be able to offer this enhanced level of functionality with the TrayPack,” Ballantyne says.

“If the success of these ‘Ready-To-Work’ models in Australia is anything to go by, then they will be a real hit here in New Zealand and we will look at other opportunities to grow the range into different applications in the future.”

The arrival of the new models builds on recent expansion of the Isuzu Trucks nationwide service centre network, with total coverage of 30 sites around the country, consisting of 12 full sales, parts and service dealer locations plus 18 authorised service centres.
