NPR and NPR-HD Advantages Over Ford LCF/International CF 500:
  • Reliable truck gas engine available on NPR-HD for lower initial cost and high power output (not available on Ford LCF or International CF)
  • Lightweight gasoline engine reduces truck weight. NPR-HD with gasoline engine weighs half a ton less than Ford LCF/International CF. This allows 14,500 lb. GVWR NPR-HD to have payload only 500 lb. less than 16,000 lb. GVWR Ford/International
  • Well-proven Isuzu diesel truck engine vs. new International sourced V6 diesel that has no service history in any vehicle
  • Longer diesel engine warranty, 3 years/unlimited miles vs. 3 years/150,000 miles
  • Longer base warranty, 3 years/unlimited miles vs. 2 years/unlimited miles for Ford LCF and International CF
  • Wider door opening for easy entry and exit (85 degree vs. 65 degree)
  • Durable tricot breathable woven seat material is comfortable and long lasting (cloth seat standard on Ford and International, with optional vinyl)
  • Larger cab contributes to driver and passenger comfort. Ford/International cab has 5-in. shorter BBC and a narrower cab
  • Wider shoulder room in new cab (72 in. vs. 66 in.) adds to comfort when carrying three passengers
  • LCF has restricted room around brake and throttle pedal, which interferes with driving safety
  • Two-way roof vent adds comfort on hot days (not available on Ford LCF or International CF)
  • Fold-down passenger's seat and center seat with tray standard, providing additional convenience (Ford and International have folding center seat only)
  • Standard daytime running lamps contribute to safety. Optional on Ford LCF and International CF
  • 6-speed Aisin automatic transmission vs. 5-speed Ford automatic transmission, for durability and performance
  • 9-inch-longer maximum wheelbase can maintain proper weight balance with heavier aft body payloads
  • Standard engine exhaust brake with diesel engine (not available on Ford or International)
  • Larger outside mirrors (16-inches tall vs. 11.5 inches) contributes to driver's visibility and safety
  • Greater cab tilt (45 degree vs. 40 degree) provides additional room when servicing vehicle, for faster, easier service
  • Engine shut-down system, with or without engine hour meter, contributes to reduced operating costs (not available on Ford or International)
  • Overhead cam engine design reduces reciprocating mass for engine efficiency and enables full cylinder water jackets for long-term engine durability
  • Precision machined fit dry cylinder liners on Isuzu diesel engine allow efficient engine rebuilding for extreme mileage customers. International engine is a parent bore design
