UNIQUE KERBING When landscaping and concreting specialists at Unique Kerbing needed a truck that would tick all their boxes in terms of specifications, they decided to go the Isuzu way. Since the purchase of their Isuzu NQR 450, the truck is fitted with their “Unique” setup and functions as both their mobile billboard and workshop. In the words of Unique’s Ian Bostock, “The truck looks smart and is a comfortable and capable drive, both when its fully loaded or otherwise. It gets the job done with ease!” And with all the compliments received about the truck’s sleek look, this truck is Ian’s pride and joy. ROBERT FIGUEIRAS Rugged but smart, an undisputed performer, and drives like a dream. It’s no wonder then that Robert Figueiras loves his Isuzu FYJ 350. He swears by its driveability and comfort, and is amazed by how the temperature gauge didn’t budge despite driving long distances in hot weather. Robert exclaims, “The truck’s fuel economy is unreal, and the climate control is simply outstanding!” Buying this Isuzu truck has been a blessing for Robert and he is certain that with his next purchase he will be going nowhere else but to his Isuzu dealer. DCM LOGISTICS From commercial goods to other high-value assets, the transport specialists at DCM Logistics seem to do it all.

Luckily, their needs are fulfilled with the Isuzu FYJ 350. Michael Ekin of DCM Logistics is thrilled to bits with his new ride, which he insists “drives like a dream”. With Allison automatic transmission, bling chrome and on-board scales, the truck is everything they need and more. COBBITTY GROVE KITCHENS As custom kitchens creators, Cobbitty Grove Kitchens is a busy business that not only customises kitchens but are also responsible for the safe deliveries of their creations across New South Wales.

With the truck helping the business fit more deliveries in a day, owner Stuart Eagles said, “We received the truck in December 2018, and since then we have been kicking ourselves for not getting this great truck years earlier!” SRCM TRANSPORT Stephen Morgan of SRCM Transport can’t hide his excitement when it comes to his Isuzu FR which has been always been his choice of drive since he came to acquire it.

After all, it was going to be responsible for transporting building and construction material and he wanted to be certain of investing in the perfect rig for the job. But that’s all in the past now, because he got it right in the first go with the Isuzu NPR 45-155 Tradepack that he can’t stop admiring. In his words, “the ease of driving this truck is unbelievable, the turning circle is great. The best part was the pricing which was excellent value for money.”
