Good thing, there is a particular light-duty rig model\u00a0that can help you eliminate the difficult tasks out of purchasing a vehicle\u2013the Isuzu NPR Premium Tradepack\u2013that is.\u00a0Basically, lightweight trucks, like the said NPR 200, can be operated using a car licence alone, and can even be bought for a practical price, too. So if you\u2019re a busy tradesman who\u2019s in dire need of a ready-to-work set of wheels, but only owns a car license, this one is for you. More details\u00a0about this Isuzu \u201cworksite wonder\u201d in my review below.<\/p>\n<h3>Isuzu NPR 200 Premium Tradepack Truck: Key Features<\/h3>\n<p><em>Strong yet fuel efficient engine<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Whether you\u2019re a landscaper, a plumber, or a builder, you can count on the Premium Tradepack when it comes to transporting all the goods of your business\u00a0from one place to another. That\u2019s because inside this 4.5 tonne GVM rig\u00a0is a robust\u00a05.2 litre, 4-cylinder Isuzu\u00a0SiTEC Series III diesel engine, which\u00a0comes with a nozzle turbocharger, that enhances fuel efficiency and emissions. It can punch out up to\u00a0155 of horsepower at\u00a02,600rpm, and 419 Nm of torque at\u00a01,600 to 2,600rpm.<\/p>\n<p><em>Smooth transmission<\/em><\/p>\n<p>For an even greater performance, the NPR 200\u2019s SiTec motor is coupled with the manufacturer\u2019s 6-speed automated manual gearbox. With this, you no longer have to worry\u00a0about driver fatigue\u00a0and stress\u00a0caused by heading\u00a0to long distant job sites or destinations since the said manual transmission acts like an \u201cauto.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Superb light towing prowess<\/em><\/p>\n<p>This car licence-friendly truck brings a spacious tray, which is made of heavy-duty Alloy and comes with two-piece split drop sides, that lets you cart bulky lightweight construction materials, such as concrete blocks, sand, and gravel. To add to the appeal, the tray body also incorporates a three-piece ladder rack with a zinc-coated headboard for easy entry and exit. Though\u00a0apart from that, what I am more interested about the\u00a0Premium Tradepack is the tow hitch fitted at the back of it. This particular rig part\u00a0can tow up to\u00a03,500kg, thus, helping you transport mixers, generators, and other small to medium equipment to a work site without any hassle.<\/p>\n<p>The NPR 200 is armed with a pair of\u00a0galvanised-coated rear racks, too. These can be removed in case you want to utilise the full tray load capacity. There is also an\u00a0airbag-compatible, aluminum-polished bullbar added at the front of the vehicle for extra protection.<\/p>\n<p><em>Ergonomic design<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Even though the Isuzu\u00a0NPR 200 Premium Tradepack is only a light-duty truck, you will\u00a0still\u00a0be amazed at the high levels of driver comfort that\u00a0it brings. Inside its stunning silver exterior is a spacious cab with seats up to three persons, and nicely situated controls and switches. It has plenty of storage for your essential stuff, a\u00a0climate control air conditioning, and a couple of\u00a0multimedia features, including a quality stereo, a Bluetooth system, and a DVD player.<\/p>\n<p>Isuzu has as well equipped their NPR 200 (and other trucks in their range) with a cruise control,\u00a0ABS braking with traction control,\u00a0driver and passenger airbags, and\u00a0front fog lamps. All these contribute to the superior driver comfort and safety during operations.<\/p>\n<h3>Isuzu NPR 200 Premium Tradepack Truck:\u00a0Price<\/h3>\n<p>Used: $31,809 AUD<\/p>\n<h3>Isuzu NPR 200 Premium Tradepack Truck:\u00a0Videos<\/h3>\n<p>No videos available.<\/p>\n<h3>Isuzu NPR 200 Premium Tradepack Truck: The Verdict<\/h3>\n<p>Summing up, the 2008 Isuzu NPR 200 Premium Tradepack is a perfect addition to your\u00a0small construction or trade business. Yes, perhaps it may seem like one of those basic delivery trucks, but as I detailed above, it is packed with great specifications that can help you get your transporting jobs done. Its strong engine, towing power, and tray load capacity are I guess what distinguish it from its competitors and the rest of the\u00a0light-duty rigs on the market today. With it, you can not only carry building materials from one place to another, you can also haul or pull light equipment to distant sites.<\/p>\n<p>Simply put, the NPR 200 is an entry-level looking truck but with a first-class\u00a0power and performance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Isuzu NPR 200 Premium Tradepack Truck: The Introduction Acquiring a delivery truck\u00a0for your small construction or trade business is a tedious thing to do, especially with all those licences that you need to work\u00a0on\u00a0and the budget that you have to consider.
