This has the same exact cab release as the Chevy/Isuzu low cab forwards. They look easy to work on, however something that may be easy to do on a Chevy express van with the same engine, could be hard on the LCF’s due to the cab being in the way. Upkeep on these trucks however mainly comes at the cost of the catalytic converters which are WAYYY too easy to steal. Worked as a truck tech at a Chevy dealer and we had a fleet of the LCF’s you’d do at least 1 set of cats a day from how often they get stolen
These trucks are common as in Australia the last place I worked had like 5 of these but there not sold under Nissan there sold under the Isuzu badge but basically the same truck
Use to work for a drilling company in AUS. I drove one of these. We use to call it the Jalopy. Too slow to keep up with the rest of the fleet, but very dependable.
it's also quite common in Malaysia as well under the Isuzu badge with tons of bed option... hell it's soo common... we even use it to transport prisoners...

They got too popular.

Now I have watched this three times. Unless I've got this wrong correct me if I am but he lifted the cab with only his one hand holding the handle. So that seemed pretty impressive how well the weight distribution for the cab is.
Nissan actually has this rebadged and sold as a Nissan Condor. But yeah, this is an Isuzu N-Series or Elf on some markets. Everything from the engine, chassis, and cab is Isuzu.
This style truck was common in the UK for 50 years. It does everything & is easy to look after. Everything is made in the far East now. All GB companies sold everything & the jobs went too. Nissan make excellent vehicles, along with all Japanese manufacturers.
They're fairly common here in Australia. One benefit of our local car industry dying is that it's not that hard to import used JDM cars and truck's, we also have weaker emissions standards on older vehicles than the US and EU so we have a wider option of compliant vehicles to choose from. Hino (Toyota), Isuzu, Mitsubishi, suzuki and others also sell plenty of similar spec truck's brand new locally as well. They're great. Relatively cheap to buy and maintain and more practical than most large pickups.
They re pretty common on latam, normally they come without bed from the factory, giving the opportunity to put whatever type of bed you want, Dump, delivery, closed bed, or towing platform. They re pretty powerful (not fast) with a small 4 cilynder diesel engine 3 or 4l Naturally aspirated, but i tested and they can carry 12 ton weight and you can start on 2nd gear.
Isuzu's diesel engine: not fast, power numbers are not impressive, engine idle shaking the whole cabin, impressive fuel consumption (depending on the payload), simple mechanical engineering, and gets the job done.
I wish you could tell people where these were You can buy these. Instead of just showing the cool part of the truck, we gotta get these !! These are awesome.
you either import them or pay a bit less (probably) for a Chevy, Isuzu, or Hino (though Hino apparently isnt very trusted) COE, peterbilt makes them too but they are a bit larger
i used to drive a 1995 nissan UD 1800, it’s basically the bigger american version of this, big 4cyl turbo diesel built by nissan, 6 speed manual but no dog leg first gear, it was a fun little rig, delivered a lot of construction materials in it, went through 2 transmissions and 4 clutches and one motor rebuild in its 1.1 million mile life

@TopiasSalakka not in the states. At least not the 80K # semi's. Most of them are conventionals. Smaller delivery truck have a bunch of cab overs. But look at all the OTR trucks next time you're on the Super Slab
I use these for work. Ours are all 2022 and newer. They are automatic Nissan NRR's. We have them equipped with hydraulic roll back beds to transport vehicles. The interior is almost identical too.
Tbf Alpha, an ev company, plans on making more work oriented trucks such as the Oryx. So ev is stepping up where the Detroit 3 failed (at least theyre planning to)
In the Philippines it is pretty common and yes they're every mechanics dream since it was very easy access, easy to repair and maintained, and parts are sold pretty much everywhere.
That kinda funny because thats a rebranded Isuzu tbh 🤣 There is the Nissan atlas/cabstar which is Nissan's actual equivalent to this I prefer that But this Isuzu truck is really really good They're still being produced today in fact Just the facelifted model
Really wish American trucks would have gone in this direction. Compact, able to haul, good bed size, emphasis on utility. Rather than the oversized overpriced toys.
Not many do, but they still utilize cab over designs for yard trucks. Those feature a hydraulic cab for raising it. Still a pretty cool little truck, just wish it was left hand drive.
@@lukeandliz It has nothing to do with Texas and you actually can register these anywhere in America. They just can’t be manufactured or sold in America. Why? Because of the EPA who decided in order to save the environment they should stop the production of compact trucks…

They're fairly common here in Australia. One benefit of our local car industry dying is that it's not that hard to import used JDM cars and truck's, we also have weaker emissions standards on older vehicles than the US and EU so we have a wider option of compliant vehicles to choose from.
Hino (Toyota), Isuzu, Mitsubishi, suzuki and others also sell plenty of similar spec truck's brand new locally as well.
They're great. Relatively cheap to buy and maintain and more practical than most large pickups.
You had me at fold down clipboard.
You could also substitute that with an additional seat I think
HECCIN WHOLESOME CHUNGUS MEME REDDIT MOMENT
They re pretty common on latam, normally they come without bed from the factory, giving the opportunity to put whatever type of bed you want, Dump, delivery, closed bed, or towing platform. They re pretty powerful (not fast) with a small 4 cilynder diesel engine 3 or 4l Naturally aspirated, but i tested and they can carry 12 ton weight and you can start on 2nd gear.
Isuzu's diesel engine: not fast, power numbers are not impressive, engine idle shaking the whole cabin, impressive fuel consumption (depending on the payload), simple mechanical engineering, and gets the job done.
I would absolutely buy one of these! This is the most amazing truck I've ever seen!
No you wouldn't
I wish you could tell people where these were You can buy these.
Instead of just showing the cool part of the truck, we gotta get these !! These are awesome.
English?
I can read it . I want one to
You gotta import it
you either import them or pay a bit less (probably) for a Chevy, Isuzu, or Hino (though Hino apparently isnt very trusted) COE, peterbilt makes them too but they are a bit larger
Isuzu npr / gmc 4500 is a similar truck that was sold in the us.
This is the truck that western manufacturers fear
i used to drive a 1995 nissan UD 1800, it’s basically the bigger american version of this, big 4cyl turbo diesel built by nissan, 6 speed manual but no dog leg first gear, it was a fun little rig, delivered a lot of construction materials in it, went through 2 transmissions and 4 clutches and one motor rebuild in its 1.1 million mile life
I'm more impressed that breakfast all day is 899.
@@f45411 Too? Only you. No one said it was all you can eat. I think the misreading thing might be a wider problem.
Underrated 😂
I was looking for this comment!
Those tilt cabs and dump beds make it easy to access the engine and chassis.
It’s perfect for maintenance!
I love your enthusiasm for cool trucks like this 😊
it's always fun to see americans discover trucks designed for work vs trucks designed for driveways.
I'm just over here slobbering at the idea of being able to sit on the tire while I'm leaned over messing with the engine. Seems nice to work on.
Keep it in your pants fuck
Yup.... Like every truck on the road back in the day was a cab over, and the cab tilted to access the engine.
What do you mean was? They still are mostly cabovers 🐡
@@TopiasSalakkajust in Asia and Europe
I've never seen any modern COE semis on the states doing delivery services
Stleast one, from bruce Wilson, he's owned a scania, for a "hobby" trucks
@@yoslauda4714 Yea i know Bruce Wilson, his content is great.
But COE is superior in many ways, which is why it's prevalent everywhere else.
So nobody has seen a cabover Isuzu box on the in America? That's just a cheap knock off of trucks that's you see everyday!!! FYI that's not a semi dumbass!!!
@TopiasSalakka not in the states. At least not the 80K # semi's. Most of them are conventionals. Smaller delivery truck have a bunch of cab overs. But look at all the OTR trucks next time you're on the Super Slab
No, the first thing you do is make sure you didn't leave your beverage in the cup holder
That is the TRUTH!!!
Love how no one talked about him picking the cab up with one arm
I use these for work. Ours are all 2022 and newer. They are automatic Nissan NRR's. We have them equipped with hydraulic roll back beds to transport vehicles. The interior is almost identical too.
That’s crazy considering this is over 25 years old
If it ain't broke, don't fix it
Beautiful engineers. The Japanese are beautiful through simplicity. Hopefully more get on the market here in the US before this EV takeover 😢
so it can kill the American market. .
Actually the rest of the world use this truk for work not f-350😂. So if you have a boat you tow it using this truck not an F150. 😀
Tbf Alpha, an ev company, plans on making more work oriented trucks such as the Oryx. So ev is stepping up where the Detroit 3 failed (at least theyre planning to)
@@RKNYC WE DONT WANT BATTERY RC CARS, WE WANT SUCK BANG BLOW COMBUSTION ENGINES
Already have, it called Isuzu NPR, or GMC W4500
You guys are too drown in those long nose truck supremacist
Every European Truck :
My eye brows kept raising higher and higher as this video and the truck itself literally unfolded
In South Africa, we got them in all brands, in different forms, and are not rebadged ....from Hino, Hyundai, Tata, UD, FAW, Mahindra, Chery & Kia.
Here in the States, Blue Belle ice cream, runs both Hino, and UD trucks.
In the uk it’s called a Nissan cabstar with a tipping body and a tilt cab
But this is based on the Isuzu NKR cab and chassis ,not sure if the engine is from Nissan in Japan ...
It is based on the Isuzu chassis
It’s based on wheels and a prop shaft
That's not a cabstar/atlas
That's a rebranded Isuzu
But close enough
CabStar is smaller I rmb (
In the Philippines it is pretty common and yes they're every mechanics dream since it was very easy access, easy to repair and maintained, and parts are sold pretty much everywhere.
This ... THIS is the truck we need.
Had a 2 ton Issuzu 30 yrs ago. 2 wheel drive, could turn on a dime and give you back 9 cents change. 4 cylinder turbo diesel. 5 speed manual.
This truck is a marvel of engineering! So many innovative design features that make this truck a really good buy.
Absolutely!
They've been building trucks like these around the world for decades now
All these ideas have been around for decades.
@@stevegrim And US automakers have figured out how to eliminate them from this market.
As an Asian, I don’t really get the point why our daily life working truck is such a gem to Americans favor. I mean, owning a F-150 is a flex here🤩
These trucks are converted to box trucks, flatbed, dump sides and even little cement mixer... pretty bad ass
Thats the ONLY nissan i would buy!!!! Seriously the only one
I’d love an R34 GT-R personally, but that’s just me 😂
That kinda funny because thats a rebranded Isuzu tbh 🤣
There is the Nissan atlas/cabstar which is Nissan's actual equivalent to this
I prefer that
But this Isuzu truck is really really good
They're still being produced today in fact
Just the facelifted model
I see them everyday. Carrying loads in sizes they were not intended to.
That's why we Americans like a full sized pickup. I'm not shitting on this little truck. Id love to have one
North americans are amazed to see thie kind of trucks. This trucks are very common in asia. Isuzu elf/forward, mitsubishi canter/fuso.
No just basement dwellers
Just the basement dwellers. Trucks like this have been sold here for 40+ years
Really wish American trucks would have gone in this direction. Compact, able to haul, good bed size, emphasis on utility. Rather than the oversized overpriced toys.
Not many do, but they still utilize cab over designs for yard trucks. Those feature a hydraulic cab for raising it. Still a pretty cool little truck, just wish it was left hand drive.
I wish we could register them for on road use in Texas. I want one so bad.
Lol, I love that Texas is supposed to be the pinnacle of freedom, when in reality it's just California with more prisons🤣
yeah good luck trying to get that thing to go 85 on the highways
@@lukeandliz It has nothing to do with Texas and you actually can register these anywhere in America. They just can’t be manufactured or sold in America. Why? Because of the EPA who decided in order to save the environment they should stop the production of compact trucks…
We have this truck for 12 years and it was the best work truck you ever own
It’s criminal that these aren’t easily gotten in America.
I don't need it, but i want it
Looks like a solid work truck.
Oh it for sure is!
This thing is actually pretty sweet
I like the cabover design and the dump feature on the bed is genius. But if you get in a accident you're all finished.
It’s actually huge. I’d imagine most crashes would result in decent results.
@@battles.digital I worked for GM at the technology center. Trust me they fold like a cheap suit in real world test. Or they did when I was there.during testing
They aren't designed for highway use.
@@DCH-lv2xmyeah but what you gonna do.
Any cabovers going to fold like cheap s***partly the reason why they don't design them anymore for commercial use
Just don't leave your coffee in the cup holder. 😂😂😂😂😂
Hahaha, didn’t think about that one 😅
"Not many people get to see these trucks like this". For an Malaysian, it's just a normal 3 tonne dump truck that we see hundreds of times on a daily basis.
the fact that the first thing you mentioned was the truck being a manual really says a lot about how sad the car culture is in the USA
I have put a lot of effort into assembling my fleet (11 if you count my projects) with only manual gearboxes. I HATE slushboxes. My newest is 2011, after about 2015 you're pretty much SOL in the US.
Love my isuzu version
Isuzu Traga?
@@EnifOfficial Isuzu Elf
@@katkylekim ah. i see why it looks so familiar
@@EnifOfficial Im not sure why they used this sort of cab and chassis from Isuzu when they have a similar one based on the Cabstar...
An OEM of Isuzu Elf actually
Where are these trucks available to buy?!
All I know is that this particular importer is in Tennessee
Australia, Japan, Canada? maybe. But definitely Australia and Japan.
imported or from Chevrolet/Isuzu/Hino
Literally everywhere else.
Why bother, not legal on US roads. Only useable on farms and off road
Yeah that's the way cabovers lift up. I've driven Internationals and Dimand Reo. It's all fun until you have to clean out the cab to fix the motor or break the windshield
That's a dumptruck in our country. Very common, we use it for picking up garbage, dumping sand or stones.
in indonesian this one name isuzu elf
Same in the Philippines
actually .. its called Nissan Atlas in Philippines and Indonesia.
Isuzu Elf is different, but they looks same. :)
@@thebarbaryan4357 but as a Filipino ive never seen an isuzu elf rebadged as a nissan atlas. Elf is more common in my country.
@@thebarbaryan4357 well actually ive seen older versions and the nissan atlas was common back in the 1990s. But i guess isuzu elf and Mitsubishi canter are the two light cargo trucks that are common nowadays. I see only a few of nissan atlas
Very capable indeed, here I'm the Philippines there are a lot of variations of this truck
