  • Class 5 hitch
  • Seven-way flat trailer plug
  • ICC bumper
  • Mud flaps

Options include:

  • Polyboard side extensions

Pricing for the dump body begins at $14,064, including delivery.


Landscaper

Finally, Knapheide has also introduced a new Landscaper body for N-Series standard-cab models with 109- and 132.5-inch wheelbases and GVWRs of 14,500 pounds and higher. The body will also soon be available for 150- and 176-inch wheelbase crew-cab models with GVWRs of 14,500 pounds and higher.

The body features three doors for loading and dumping including a 50-inch-wide curbside opening for pallets, balled trees, shrubs, bagged materials, etc., with a side access door that can be locked in the open position. There are also two 270-degree swing-out rear gates equipped with heavy-duty hinges that are also lockable in the open position, Isuzu says.
