Isuzu – other models: the collective page from light NPR and NQR chassis to entries from the Finnish vehicle register, four-cylinder engines 64 to 177 kW, 1,898 to 5,780 cc
Isuzu is a Japanese commercial-vehicle maker founded in 1916 in Tokyo, with the name in use since 1949; the brand ranks among the world's largest truck makers with the Elf (light), Forward (medium) and Giga (heavy) ranges. This collective page gathers models the register could not assign to a named range, from light NPR and NQR chassis to individual entries from the Finnish vehicle register, where Isuzu flatbed trucks are listed as "avolavakuorma-auto" – literally an open flatbed truck.

The register lists 45 versions with four-cylinder diesel engines from 1,898 to 5,780 cc, outputs from 64 to 177 kW, kerb weights from 2,040 to 7,110 kg, gross vehicle weights from 3,500 to 8,500 kg, lengths from 4,700 to 8,160 mm and widths from 1,870 to 2,550 mm.
The NPR and NQR ranges rank among the best-selling light and medium trucks in the world and are built under licence or other brand names in many countries, for instance as Chevrolet or GMC in North America; they mainly serve urban distribution traffic and as a base for refrigerated, tipper and flatbed bodies.
When buying a used example, check on the four-cylinder diesel engines the condition of the injection pump and turbocharger, rust in the frame and cab mounting after urban distribution use, and wear on the clutch and brakes at high mileage; spare parts are well supported through Isuzu's dense dealer network and independent commercial-vehicle parts dealers.

What to check before buying
- Check the hour meter against the service records — a replaced instrument is the most common gap.
