Isuzu stopped making trucks in 2008.
Back in the 1990s, Isuzu originally sold both trucks/SUVs and cars, however their car sales were over-shadowed by the SUV sales. Thus, they stopped making cars in the 1990s. Early in the 2000s, Isuzu's SUV sales plummeted on their SUVs which was no surprise as better technology was coming out from other manufacturers. They went from selling 100,000 vehicles in 1999 to just 7,000 in 2008. This is why they stopped making their SUVs.
Isuzu actually does not produce trucks these days, though used trucks can be purchased on the used truck markets. The trucks were reviewed as being neither outstandingly good nor bad (http://trucks.reviewitonline.net/isuzu-trucks/).
Isuzu Motors Ltd. is a Japanese automobile manufacturer. The Isuzu Amigo and the Isuzu Hombre are two of the pickup trucks this company manufactures and sells in the United States.
NPR is something that is used to show that the specific Isuzu is part of the N-series trucks. It does not have a specific meaning behind the abbreviation.
The G200 Isuzu engine is typically found in several models of Isuzu trucks, including the Isuzu NPR and Isuzu NRR series. It is commonly used in light to medium-duty trucks, particularly for commercial applications. Additionally, some models of the Isuzu D-MAX may also feature this engine. Always check specific model years and configurations for compatibility.
Isuzu trucks have a 2.5 out of a 5 point scale for safety. This is for the 2004 model. They lack in airbag location but are good for accidents from behind.
2011 was when they stopped offering a manual transmission option for the Super Duty.
It depends on the size of the Isuzu truck you are purchasing. For example, the N series Isuzu trucks carry 7,000 - 12,200 kilograms, depending on the model. When looking at a specific Isuzu truck, ask the dealer or owner what the GCM of the truck is, this will be the amount it can carry.
Isuzu commercial trucks are widely available and carried by many truck resellers. A full list of stockists can be found by state and country on the Isuzu website or it would be possible to search for them on sites such as Autotrader.
Isuzu cars were not successful compared to their highly succussful suv/trucks in the 90s, nearly nobody owned isuzu car nor did anyone notice/miss their disappearance. However isuzu sales severly plumeted in the 2000s going from 100k vehicles sold in 1999 to 7k in 2008, thus isuzu chose to leave the american market completely, but they still manufacture trucks and suvs and are the world leader in comercial vehicals(which are still sold in north america)
There are a number of Isuzu truck dealers in the UK. You can find one in your area by going to the Isuzu website and using their dealer locator. Be sure to narrow down your results to locations that sell these trucks and not just offer parts and servicing.
