As promised, here is the next truck featured in the medium duty truck review series. This is an Isuzu NPR-HD that is rated for 14.5k lbs. It has the 5.2L 4HK1 4-cylinder Turbo Diesel, which is the highest engine option for this truck. It also can come with a 3.0L turbo diesel as well as a 6.0L GM sourced V8 gas. Mated to the engine is an Aisin 465 6-Speed Automatic transmission. This particular truck has a 16ft Aluminum Morgan body and a 2000lbs Maxon Liftgate
Many people overlook these trucks in a this class of vehicles. Competitive to the 4500/F450 and Hino 155, these trucks really standout with their long history of being extremely reliable. If you want a truck that workers can abuse and mistreat, ignore maintenance, and keep in the fleet for over 20 years/300k mi, this is the truck that will do it.
Pros:
Very Good Maneuverability
Great Fuel Mileage
Legendary Reliability and Durability
Powerful
Cons:
Weak Engine Brake
Aging Cab
Low/Vulnerable air intake
No 4x4 available
Ryder Review: Although I had initially order a 26ft, I was advised a day before arrival that my assigned truck was out of service for transmission issues. I was asked if I would be ok with a 16ft, with no other option with any other company I had to say yes. There was only one available and it was at the mercy of the previous user returning it during overnight drop off. Ryder also requires you pay for a full week of service with the truck as a deposit, and for this particular truck it is in excess of $1,000 even for just one day. So be sure to keep that in mind when renting. I was not given any kind of discount for not being given the right truck. The truck was also fairly dirty inside the cab and box.
