(Manual will detail all covered variants). Performance Horsepower Range: Typically 170-215 HP for diesel variants, and 220-270 HP for gasoline variants (specific to engine model). Torque Range: Typically 360-450 lb-ft for diesel variants, and 270-300 lb-ft for gasoline variants (specific to engine model). Fuel System Diesel Injection: Common Rail Direct Injection (CRDI) for Isuzu diesel engines. Gasoline Injection: Multi-port Fuel Injection (MPFI) or Direct Injection (DI) for gasoline variants. Emissions Emissions Control: Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF), Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) with Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) injection, Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) for diesel. Catalytic converters for gasoline. 🔧 Transmission Standard Standard Transmission: 6-speed automatic (e.g., Aisin A466E, Allison 1000/2000 series variants) often standard on diesel models. Optional Optional Transmission: 5-speed or 6-speed manual transmission may be available on certain gasoline or lower GVWR diesel configurations. Features Transmission Fluid Type: Specific ATF (e.g., Dexron VI for GM automatics, Aisin wide range ATF, or specific Allison fluids) and manual transmission gear oil (GL-4 or GL-5, specific viscosity). Drivetrain Configurations: Rear-Wheel Drive (RWD) is standard. All-Wheel Drive (AWD) or Four-Wheel Drive (4WD) may be available on specific chassis or specialty models. 📐 Dimensions Exterior Wheelbase Options: Multiple wheelbase configurations available, from approx. 109 inches up to 170+ inches, depending on GVWR and body style. Overall Length Range: Varies significantly with body configuration, but chassis cabs are designed for custom bodies. Weights Gvwr Range: From Class 3 (10,001-14,000 lbs) up to Class 7 (26,001-33,000 lbs), depending on the specific N-Series model (e.g., NPR, NQR, NRR). Curb Weight: Highly variable based on configuration, typically starting around 4,500-5,500 lbs for chassis cabs. 🛡️ Safety Features Ratings Crash Test Data: Commercial vehicles of this class are not typically subjected to passenger car NHTSA or IIHS crash testing. Focus is on structural integrity for cargo and payload. Active Features Braking Systems: Hydraulic disc brakes front and rear, often with Anti-lock Braking System (ABS). Air brakes may be an option on heavier GVWR models. Stability Control: Electronic Stability Control (ESC) and Traction Control systems are increasingly common, especially on newer models. Passive Features Airbags: Driver and passenger airbags. Side curtain airbags may be available on...
