Specific displacements common for this era might include 3.0L (4JG2), 3.1L (4JG1), or 4.3L (4HF1) or similar variants depending on regional markets and specific NPR/NQR designations. Fuel Type: Diesel Performance Horsepower Range: Typically in the 100-150 HP range for engines of this displacement and era, depending on specific model and configuration. Torque Range: Torque figures would vary but generally in the 200-300 lb-ft range, crucial for commercial vehicle applications. Fuel System Injection Type: Indirect Injection (IDI) or Direct Injection (DI) diesel, often with mechanical or early electronic fuel injection pumps. Emissions Control: May include EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) systems; some later models might have basic catalytic converters. Cooling System Type: Water-cooled, typically with a belt-driven fan or electric fan. 🔧 Transmission Standard Type: Likely a 5-speed or 6-speed manual transmission as standard for most models. Optional Type: Some higher GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating) models or specific configurations might have offered an automatic transmission, though less common. Features Clutch Type: Single dry-plate clutch operated hydraulically. Gear Ratios Detail: The manual would provide specific gear ratios for each transmission option offered across the NKR, NPR, and NQR lines. 📐 Dimensions Exterior Body Style: Cab-over (COE) commercial truck chassis, available in various wheelbase lengths and GVWRs (e.g., Class 3 to Class 5 equivalent in the US market). Wheelbase Options: Multiple wheelbase options to accommodate different body lengths and payload capacities. Weights Gvwr Range: GVWRs would vary significantly, potentially from around 10,000 lbs (4,536 kg) for NKR models up to 19,500 lbs (8,845 kg) or more for NQR models. 🛡️ Safety Features Ratings Crash Test Data: Commercial vehicles of this era often had less stringent crash testing compared to passenger cars. Specific ratings would be dependent on the market and regulatory body. Active Features Braking System: Hydraulic brakes, potentially with ABS on later models or specific options. Passive Features Restraints: Seat belts are standard. Airbags were not common on light commercial trucks of this vintage, especially in base models. Visibility:...
