Well, if it were MPH, that is about what 260 HP will do up a long grade under load, been there before :'( Mudflap

The most powerful Hino engine is the JO8E-TB rated 260 HP and 585 ft lbs torque. I'm pretty sure my MBE4000 450 HP will keep up with you just fine ;) Mudflap

To get back to answering Themagicone's first question, I don't think all the aluminum in the world will help those Hinos for expedite use, they just don't look to me to have adequate horsepower for this sort of work, and when an engine lugs to do a job it wastes fuel and engine life. For a C or...

The KW T300 is about the only class 7 chassis I would consider, bacause it is basically a class 8 KW chassis with a smaller engine, it has a great reputation for long life and durability. The thing is though, when looking at all build costs, it really does not cost a whole lot more in the KW...

"I researched many Hino turck owners who have had their trucks since 2005.." That is wonderful. I have been an owner of class 7 and 8 expediter trucks for over 10 years and have done ther battle of the wills between the makes many times over. I have paid off the loans on many expediter...

This coincides with everything I have been thinking all along about the Hino trucks. It's nothing more than a Freightliner M2 or International 4300 city truck chassis set up for expediting, but with a high price tag as it's associated with the Toyota name. I had a new driver prospect contact...

To me the Hino's HP and torque ratings sound right on par with the first FL70 I owned, it weighed in at 18,200 empty and could haul the ligitimate 13k D unit weight. The engine was a Cummins 8.3, which was a well made in frame rebuildable engine. I don't know if the Toyota built engine falls...

I hear you Frank, Toyota makes great products. So have Nissan (UD), Mitsu, International and all the others really. Heck, Rich on the forums here got nearly 900k from an unrebuilt FL70, can't complain about that. Maybe my point is that to build up one of the class 7 trucks for expediting...

You are right I have not drove one. I have not owned a smaller 7 class truck since an FL70 with 250 HP. Everything will break down eventually. Yes even a Toyota engine. Who is going to fix that on a long lonely desert highway a few years from now? Umm, lets safely say nobody but the hook on...

What in the world would be the fascination with Hino trucks here? MHO?? Underpowered and overpriced. Denny
