NRR Advantages:

  • Well-proven Isuzu diesel truck engine vs. International-sourced V6 diesel that has limited service history in any vehicle
  • Longer diesel engine warranty, 3 years/unlimited miles vs. 3 years/150,000 miles
  • Longer base warranty, 3 years/unlimited miles vs. 2 years/unlimited miles for Ford LCF and International CF
  • Wider door opening for easy entry and exit (85° vs. 65°)
  • Durable tricot breathable woven seat material is comfortable and long lasting (cloth seat standard on Ford and International, with optional vinyl)
  • 3 years/unlimited miles vs. 2 years/unlimited miles for Ford LCF and International CF
  • Larger cab contributes to driver and passenger comfort.
  • Ford/International cab has 5-in. shorter BBC and a narrower cab
  • Wider shoulder room in new cab (72 in. vs. 66 in.) adds to comfort when carrying three passengers
  • LCF has restricted room between brake and throttle pedal and the engine cover, which interferes with driving safety.
  • Larger NRR cab provides plenty of room for driver control and safety
  • Fold-down passenger’s seat and center seat with tray standard, providing additional convenience (Ford and International have folding center seat only)
  • Standard daytime running lamps contribute to safety. Optional on Ford LCF and International CF
  • 6-speed Aisin automatic transmission vs. 5-speed Ford automatic transmission, for durability and performance
    Available 6-speed manual transmission on Isuzu vs. no available manual transmission on LCF
  • Maximum CA of Isuzu is 33.5 inches longer than maximum CA frame of Ford/International, for safely handling longer body lengths
  • 27-inch-longer maximum wheelbase can maintain proper weight balance with heavier aft body payloads.
    Standard engine exhaust brake (not available on Ford or International)
  • Larger outside mirrors (7x17 in. vs. 6x11.5 inches) contributes to driver's visibility and safety
  • Greater cab tilt (45° vs. 40°) provides additional room when servicing vehicle, for faster, easier service
  • Engine shut-down system, with or without engine hour meter, contributes to reduced operating costs (not available on Ford or International)
  • Overhead cam engine design reduces reciprocating mass for engine efficiency and enables full cylinder water jackets for long-term engine durability
  • Precision machined fit dry cylinder liners on Isuzu diesel engine allows efficient engine rebuilding for extreme mileage customers. International engine is a parent-bore design
