Servicepack joins Isuzu's Ready to Work range

The new Isuzu NLR 45-150 Servicepack ticks a lot of boxes and can be driven on a car licence

Following the success of the Isuzu ready-to-work range, including the factory-built Tipper models in various sizes, and the re-designed Tradepack and Traypack models comes the the new Servicepack.

Isuzu’s capacity to capture the needs of the Australian tradesperson can be first traced back to the release of the Tradepack model in 2003.

Fitted with a high quality tray body, bull bar and a three-year extended warranty, the 2003 NKR Tradepack was the first of its kind to be driven from the showroom, and ‘ready to work’.

The new NLR Servicepack model, available with a five-speed manual transmission or Isuzu’s easy driving siz-speed automated manual transmission (AMT), is designed with the specialist tradesperson or contractor firmly in mind – and can be driven with a standard passenger-car licence.

Ample on-board storage is provided with eight lockers of various sizes and each is fitted with internal LED lighting.

Between the two rows of lockers is a central storage area with load rated tie-down hooks, while the integrated-step towbar and reversing camera add to the form and functionality of the vehicle.

The NLR is both compact and nimble, with a tight turning circle and short-wheelbase dimensions that fit into any standard driveway – perfect when home is the base of your operations.

With an impressive GVM of 4500kg, GCM of 7000kg and towing capacity of up to 2500 kg, the latest ready-to-work vehicle offers formidable payload backed up with serious power credentials.

Powered by the Isuzu 4JJ1-TCS, 3.0-litre turbocharged and intercooled diesel engine, the Servicepack delivers power of 110kW (150hp) @ 2800rpm and torque of 375Nm @ 1600 to 2800rpm, while comfortably meeting the Euro 5 emissions standards.

Isuzu Australia Chief Engineer, Product Strategy Simon Humphries says this latest offering is a real win for those tradespeople in the market for a work or field service vehicle.

“The Servicepack is the perfect fit-for-purpose solution, it’s the same size as a traditional ute and boasts a superior 1.5-tonne payload and the full suite of trucking credentials behind it.

“Drivers can be confident they’re carrying their load legally, and in turn the handling and control is second to none as the Servicepack is custom-built to carry these payloads.

“The compact proportions of the Servicepack make it perfect for accessing work sites and getting as close to the task as you need to on domestic jobs.

Superior safety standards are delivered in the NLR with driver and passenger airbags, pretensioner load-limiting seatbelts on driver and passenger seats, Isuzu Stability Control System (IESC), ABS, Anti-Skid Regulator (ASR) and an ECE-R29 compliant cab.

Driver comfort is also taken care of with the Digital AudioVisual Entertainment (DAVE) unit that provides a 6.2-inch LCD touch screen, DAB+ digital radio and fully integrated Bluetooth with voice recognition.
