Nissan Atlas/Isuzu Elf or a Chinese copy.
The headlight assembly does not match with the Japanese ones.

This scene was partly filmed in Canada -- because of the dust storm, you can't tell the difference. So it could be UAE new, used Japanese in the UAE, Canada new or used Japanese in Canada. :)

So that is why the headlights do not look Japanese, because they are sealed-beam in Canada.

Upon further investigation and by that i mean 3 minutes of thinking, it might be filmed in UAE after all.

At least three of these Isuzu NPRs have GCC spec vins.
Spoiler - click here to see it


Further more, if this exact shot was really filmed in Canada then they really nailed the details for a UAE operated truck with the Arabic Weight & Carry writings, the excessive use of black/yellow arrow tape among other things.

On top of all that, the other traffic cars seen during the sand storm chase seems eerily accurate for a UAE setting. Either by accident or they had a really good attention to details. When Movies "fake" a location, they usually either end up with regular local cars that was never sold in the setting's location (ex. A Mitsubishi Minica in KSA :lol:) or end up heavily leaning towards the extreme ends of stereotypes (Middle East = ""crappy"" old W123s/Hilux or shiny Supercars, nothing in between).

tl;dr Gulf Spec Isuzu NPRs also had the whole sealed beam thing so i dunno really.
