⚙️ Engine Specifications

Engine Type:

Likely 2.0L or 2.4L gasoline, or a 2.5L or 3.0L diesel engine (common for Isuzu TF globally). Specifics depend on market.

Horsepower:

Varies significantly by engine option. Typically in the range of 100-150 hp for gasoline, 70-130 hp for diesel.

Torque:

Varies significantly by engine option. Diesel engines typically offer higher torque for hauling. Expect 150-250 Nm for gasoline, 180-280 Nm for diesel.

Fuel Delivery:

Gasoline: Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI). Diesel: Indirect Injection (IDI) or Common Rail Direct Injection (CRDI) depending on engine variant.

Common Gasoline Codes:

e.g., C22NE (2.2L), G20DT (2.0L), 4ZD1 (2.3L - older but possible legacy).

Common Diesel Codes:

e.g., 4JA1 (2.5L), 4JA1-T (2.5L Turbo), 4JH1 (3.0L Turbo Diesel).

🔧 Transmission

Type:

5-speed Manual Transmission (MT)

Type:

4-speed Automatic Transmission (AT) - availability varies by market and trim.

Drive Type:

Rear-Wheel Drive (RWD) or Four-Wheel Drive (4WD) with transfer case.

Type:

Part-time 4WD system with manual or electric engagement for front axle engagement via transfer case. Options may include low-range gearing.

📐 Dimensions
