Hot deal on Isuzu Traypack

Recent Federal Government statistics show that just shy of 70,000 new tradies joined the industry between November 2022 and 2023. This amounts to a combined tradie workforce of 1,347,500, making it one of the highest employers in Australia.

With demand growing, Australia’s most popular heavy vehicle brand, Isuzu Trucks, has announced a compelling offer on its premium trade-centric truck, the 4500kg GVM Ready-to-Work NLR 45-150 Traypack.

The car drivers’ licence Traypack deal provides the likes of carpenters, electricians, plumbers and landscapers a fit-for-purpose light truck at a competitive price and without the need to upgrade any licencing credentials.

For a limited time (April 1, 2024 to June 30, 2024) and as part of its Ready-to-Work, Playtime’s Over campaign, Isuzu is offering the NLR 45-150 AMT SWB Traypack for a drive-away price of $62,990, with a bonus $3500 worth of extras that can be put towards Isuzu genuine parts and accessories or an Isuzu Essentials Service Agreement at the buyer’s discretion.

The bonus $3,500, which can be used for Isuzu Genuine Parts & Accessories or for an Isuzu Essentials Service Agreement, is also applicable across Isuzu’s entire NLR Traypack range, offering greater choice with manual and two-pedal automated manual transmission (AMT) models in a variety of short-and medium-wheelbase sizes.

Craig White, Head of Sales at Isuzu Australia Limited (IAL), said the offer was one not-to-be missed for those operators new to the sector and looking to streamline their operating costs.

“It’s a commonly-held belief that you need a rigid vehicle licence to drive a truck, but that’s simply not the case for many models in our light-duty range, which includes the Ready-to-Work NLR 45-150 Traypack,” commented Mr White.

“At this 4.5-tonne GVM mark, there are no additional driver training costs, plus all the benefits of owning a light truck as opposed to a traditional ute or van. More payload, increased towing capacity, better visibility and better suitability for all manner of trades.

Combined with Isuzu’s industry-leading six-year warranty (covering cab chassis) and three years on the body equipment, as well as six years of 24/7 roadside assist, it’s a complete package that’s hard to resist.

The NLR 45-150 AMT SWB Traypack offers a payload capacity of 2210kg, and a substantial 4000kg towing limit, making light work of ferrying extra equipment or towing a tag-along trailer.

Plenty of punch is available from a four-cylinder 4JJ1-TCS turbo-diesel engine producing 110kW at 2800rpm of power and 375Nm of torque between 1600 and 2800rpm.

Adaptability for a wide range of applications is assured with the Traypack’s pre-built, heavy-duty aluminium tray a headline feature. Including removable drop-sides and rear tailgate, integrated load restraint anchor points, headboard (including rear window protector) and a low-light capable reversing camera.

For operators conscious of driver safety and compliance obligations, Isuzu’s Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) comes standard on all new 4x2 N Series trucks, helping to protect driver and other users alike.

Isuzu’s ADAS works to keep drivers alert and aware of surroundings with automated safety features such as Advanced Emergency Braking (AEB), Forward Collision Warning (FCW), Lane Departure and Traffic Movement Warning (LDW), and a Distance Warning System (DWS).

Mr White said at over 70 locations nationwide, Isuzu Dealerships were eager to help businesses secure their perfect work transport.

“The NLR 45-150 AMT SWB Traypack not only has more load space compared to a regular ute, it also can carry a substantial 1000kg of additional weight, with a much greater legal towing capacity. That means more tools and materials on-board and fewer trips back to base, and all in a vehicle specifically engineered to get this work done day in and day out.

“It’s these real-time savings that add up to better value and better efficiency for trade businesses over the long run,” said Mr White.
