2023 Isuzu NPR Summary

Isuzu’s N-Series of light trucks is really doing the business in Australia. In fact, the whole Isuzu Trucks brand is dominating the market here, with almost one in every two rigid trucks sold here bearing the Isuzu badge, cementing the brand’s 33-year run of holding top spot on the sales ladder.

The N-Series has been a large part of that, and now, with an upgrade to include new safety features, the N-Series is closer than ever to being a real alternative to other light commercials including dual-cab utes and vans.

We’ve looked at the range of N-Series trucks here that are able to be driven on a normal car license. That means a Gross Vehicle Mass (GVM) of up to 4500kg (although the N-Series includes vehicles up to 8700kg GVM) and includes layouts including narrow and wide cabin, crew-cab and 4x2 and 4x4 variants.

2026 Mitsubishi Triton Summary

There was a time when utes were bought purely for work but some these days look more like high-riding prestige cars with their sparkling pearlescent paint, sumptuous leather seats that heat, cool and massage, high-tech hybrid drivetrains, independent rear suspensions and 0-100km/h times that were once the sole domain of supercars.

However, traditional ute buyers like tradies, farmers and fleets are still well catered for by some brands when seeking a utilitarian turbo-diesel workhorse designed primarily for hard yakka.

Mitsubishi has recently added 4x2 and 4x4 cab-chassis variants to its local Triton line-up comprising single-cab, club-cab and dual-cab body style across most model grades to broaden the Triton’s appeal for either working roles or adventuring.

We recently spent a week aboard one of these new cab-chassis variants in base GLX specification, to see from a tradie’s perspective if it has what it takes to cut it in the rough-and-tough world of working utes.
