NPR 3500

GM C5500:

  • C5500 is GM's Class 5 medium duty truck
  • 15,500 lb. GVWR standard, 18,000, 22,000 and 26,000 lb. GVWR options
  • Duramax 6.6L V8 diesel engine or 8.1L V8 gasoline engine
  • Allison 6-speed automatic transmission
  • Available in crew cab, cutaway and motor home cutaway
  • Available 4WD
  • Cab design derived from full-size van
  • Numerous options, including suspensions and axles

NRR Advantages:

  • Tilt cab design allows easy servicing of engine vs. non-tilt cabover design of C5500 with limited engine access
  • Longer maximum CA allows NRR to carry 24-foot bodies vs. 18-foot maximum for C5500
  • More maneuverable NRR design can turn circle in 45.3 ft. vs. 51.3 ft. for C4500 with same 16-foot body capacity
  • Fold-down center seat with work-ready surface vs. optional center seat
  • Available 6-speed manual transmission vs. no optional manual transmission

  • Greater visibility through large windows. Driver can see ground 8.6 feet from front bumper in NRR vs. 13 ft. for C5500
  • Isuzu offers the efficiency of lower weight; 1200 lb. less for diesel trucks. The extra weight requires extra fuel to move, whether the truck is loaded or unloaded
  • Wider door opening for easy entry and exit (85° vs. 70°)
  • Unlimited mileage 3-year basic warranty vs. unlimited mileage 2-year basic warranty
  • Standard tilt and telescopic steering column vs. optional tilt steering wheel on C5500

  • Available Vehicle Health Reports allows Isuzu fleet to monitor drivers and vehicle service needs. Not available on GM
  • NRR has approximately 2000 lb. higher payload for similarly equipped diesel truck due to lighter base vehicle weight
