    Who knows Hino's

    I've seen a bunch of expediter trucks on ebay. I don't think it's too smart an idea to buy any type of vehicle there sight unseen. I would not want to be contractually obligated to pay for something that someone described as decent that turns out to be a piece of garbage when picked up...

    Who knows Hino's

    I'm pretty sure Hino is a division of Nissan, not Toyota, but no matter they both make really decent equipment. Looks like a nice truck, have yet to physically see the conventional chassis yet. Probably reliable but.. Access to parts and service has always been an issue with any of the lower...
