NPR Crew Cab Advantages:

• Overall length of comparable CA trucks is 50 inches shorter for Isuzu, requiring less parking space for fleets
  
• Seven passenger seating adds to crew comfort and usefulness (F-350 only has room for six)
  
• Maximum effective CA of 84 in. CA for F-Series vs. 109.5 in. effective CA for Isuzu. N-Series can accommodate bodies to 16 ft. in length vs a maximum 12 ft. on F-Series
  
• Built from the ground up as a commercial vehicle for a long life (F-350 is derived from a pickup)
  
• Reverse Elliot I-Beam front axle and taperleaf springs on
• NPR are rugged and low maintenance with excellent service history. Ford F-350 uses coil springs on Twin-i-Beams, which vary camber based on load and increase tire wear
  
• Conventional cab Ford weights much more than shorter low cab forward Isuzu. Comparable CA models show
• Isuzu is approximately 1,600 lb. lighter than diesel Ford and 700 lb. lighter than V8 gas ford. Extra truck weight costs operators extra fuel for every mile traveled.
• 12,000 lb. GVWR Isuzu has comparable payload to 13,000 lb. GVWR Ford
  
• Tighter turning diameter (curb-to-curb) for comparable cab-to-axle ratio (45.3 ft./150.0 in. WB vs. 57.8 ft./200.2 in. WB ) dramatically improves maneuverability
  
• Wider door opening for easy entry and exit (85 degree vs. 60 degree)
  
• Durable tricot breathable woven seat material is comfortable and long lasting (solid vinyl standard on F-350 Super Duty)
  
• Standard tilt and telescopic steering column contributes to driver comfort (optional tilt steering wheel on F-350)
  
• Grab handle to assist entry and exit contributes to safety on the job (not available on F-Series)
  
• 6-speed automatic vs. 5-speed helps improve performance and efficiency
  
• Standard fold-down center seat includes convenient work area on NPR; base seat on F-350 is non-folding bench
  
• Higher frame yield strength contributes to durability (44,000 psi vs. 36,000 psi)
  
• Greater visibility with larger windshield, larger side windows, larger side mirrors and lower dash to improve vision. Front sight line of 8.6 ft. for NPR vs. 23.8 ft. for F-350
  
• Wide, self-cleaning step on NPR vs. optional cab steps on F-350
  
• Standard daytime running lamps vs. optional
  
• Battery box on frame rails of NPR helps extend battery life by removing batteries from hot under-hood area
  
• Easier serviceability with in-cab fluid checks vs. Ford's under-hood fluid-checks
