ADVANTAGES SPECS EQUIPMENT OPTIONS WARRANTY
Nissan UD 1300/1400:

  • UD 1300 is 13,000 lb. GVWR competing against NPR
  • UD 1400 is 14,250 lb. GVWR competing against NPR-HD
  • No gas engine available on any Nissan UD truck
  • No manual transmission available on Nissan UD 1300/1400
  • Narrow 29.5-inch frame
  • UD 1300 not available in CA and NE states
NPR and NPR-HD Advantages Over Nissan UD 1300/1400:
  • Available gas engine is more powerful than Nissan UD diesel and offers lower initial cost (not available on 1300/1400)
  • Wider cab for driver and passenger comfort on NPR/NPR-HD
  • More available wheelbases to meet customer needs (109.0 in., 132.5 in., 150.0 in. and 176.0 in. vs. 108.9 in., 131.9 in. and 149.4 in. for Nissan UD)
  • Longer available wheelbase (176.0 in. vs. 149.4 in.) allows NPR and NPR-HD bodies to 20 ft. in length (only to 18 ft. on Nissan UD 1300/1400)
  • Higher front-axle capacity (6830 lb. vs. 6170 lb.) contributes to durability
  • Taperleaf front springs contribute to ride quality and durability (multileafs used on Nissan UD 1300/1400)
  • Higher frame section modulus can help eliminate the need for reinforcements (7.20 cu. in. vs. 6.29 cu. in.)
  • Tighter turning diameter (curb-to-curb) for comparable cab-to-axle ratio (33.5 ft./109.0 in. WB vs. 34.8 ft./108.9 in. WB), for greater maneuverability
  • Higher power diesel engine (205 hp vs. 175 hp) greatly enhances performance
  • Higher torque output (441 lb.-ft. vs. 347 lb.-ft.), for carrying heavy loads
  • Larger windshield area provides greater visibility (2,245 sq. in. of glass vs. 1,900 sq. in. for Nissan)
  • Fully adjustable driver’s seat with 8.5 in. of fore-aft adjustment (6.5 in. adjustment on UD 1300/1400) contributes to driver comfort
  • Standard cruise control vs. no cruise control available
  • 6-speed automatic transmission vs. 4-speed automatic transmission provides greater gear range for acceleration and fuel economy
  • All-season front and rear radial tires provide optimum mix of traction and mileage (highwayfront and traction-rear radials on Nissan UD 1300/1400)
  • Longer warranty on frame can contribute to lower cost of ownership (60 months/unlimited mileage vs. 36 months/unlimited mileage)
  • Fold-down passenger's seat and fold-down center seat with tray adds convenience (passenger seat does not fold on Nissan UD 1300/1400)
  • Standard air filter restriction gauge simplifies maintenance. NA on UD
  • Storage pockets on doors and behind driver’s seat vs. none on Nissan UD 1300/1400
