Landscape trucks are big investments in your business, so it’s important that you pick the right one. If you’ve been researching these workhorses online, you’ve probably come across the Chevy Low Cab Forward series and the Isuzu FTR Diesel. As both offer plenty of advantages, it can be difficult to decide which you should choose to help you get your work done. If you’re stuck choosing between these two powerhouse landscape trucks, let us help you decide with a side by side comparison.
Your business needs are unique, and you should be able to customize a truck that works for you – that’s why you have two engine options with the Chevy Low Cab Forward series. You can choose between a 6.0-liter V8 gasoline engine that puts out 297 horsepower and 372 pound-feet of torque or a 5.2-liter I-4 turbocharged diesel that offers 215 horsepower and 452 pound-feet of torque. The Isuzu FTR Diesel, as the name suggests, only offers a 5.2-liter Inline engine that offers 215 horsepower and 520 pound-feet of torque. The Chevy trucks have body length options ranging from 10 to 20 feet, and the Isuzu trucks have body length options ranging from 14 to 30 feet. However, it should be noted that the maximum payload for both brands is 15,690, meaning you can’t haul any more weight on an Isuzu even though it’s longer.
Considering how close the trucks are in many specs, it should also be noted that a Chevy Low Cab Forward series comes at a significantly lower price than the Isuzu FTR Diesel – when you opt for the Chevy you’re getting an incredible value with a powerful truck at a great price.
Inside, you’ll find that both the Chevy and Isuzu offer supportive seats that will keep you cushioned and comfortable, with amenities such as air conditioning, power windows and door locks, storage compartments present. Additionally, both vehicles offer AM/FM radio, CD player, and Bluetooth®* connectivity, so you can enjoy your favorite music on the go. The Chevy Low Cab Forward also offers an auxiliary port to allow MP3 streaming. Again, considering the drastically different price points, the Chevy trucks present a better value here, too.
The Chevy Low Cab Forward series stands out by offering everything you need to get the job done at an incredible price tag.
