Cool so now your saying it takes 450 hp to keep up with a 260 hp Hino on hills that about sums it all up now don’t it?

Sorry didn’t mean to imply you never drove a truck just that it seams from what you have said that you have not drove the Hino your self all your input has been from your drivers and not personal experience? Alvin

I own a 2006 with 75k on it and its doing great only thing I see as a problem is the bunk and box holding up the quality on the Hino is top notch. And if you do some research when these things was cab-over around town trucks the norm was 1 million plus, so what do you think the over the road is...

I haven’t been on in a while one I’ve been busy 2 I’m tired of the dead horse thing its ok to knock on e company and not another on here. I own a 2006 Hino and I think your all wet! It goes up hills just fine and to add I pass all 18-wheelers and even some 4 wheelers doing so and since...

Oh yeah batteries your right there, yupp didn’t even give the stock 2 a chance went out and got 3 new truck batteries for my truck before hitting the road because Hino is new to the over the road idea and I’m sure 2 little car batteries are fine with a local truck with out a sleeper but...

I own a 2006 model 3800 and I go up 11% grades at 55mph or better with 12,000 in the box might add passing other 6 and 18 wheelers too boot, what Hino do you have? I paid considerable more for it though so am thinking you have a under CDL model? And am told by Allison after reprogramming my...

Well I’m out in the Rockies this last week right now am near Spokane WA and the Hino is doing better than my international ever did, a little more hp might be nice but at what cost? I still think it needs that gear upgrade I’m going to find out the scoop on that this month I think because my...

don't think she'll need any pushing George I've been maxed out and haven't needed help yet. do a web or google search you'll find out they pull 53' trailers up and down the west coast with day cab 338 Hino's and a number of other things you'd be suprised I was and I now own one! I don't miss my...

Not from what I’m told it don’t you order the gear swap its called right from the people that build the truck they ship it do your dealer pay 1hr and you pay 1hr labor to have the new ones put in has to be done by a dealer though. And think they are only allowing it on the expedite trucks...

Yupp that would be me only 2 have ever failed and of course guess who got one of them? Oh yeah me but they took good care of me towed me 400 miles to dealer paid the bill on that the only down side was the time loss because a rep had to come out and check it out because it was so rare wanted to...

Thats because they are also a Mack dealer a lot of them are takikng on the Hino's to make up for now a lack of mack medium duty trucks. Alvin

oops sorry my bad!

On the same note just because it’s new and you don’t know any thing about it why knock it? And bragging about a truck with 500hp loosing a injector and not noticing it is hardly a task for a truck with what 2,000 lbs in the box? Still most likely have like 416 hp left that’s what 2/3’s...

ask a swift driver the same question some time LOL

Stress? Who you think build that engine Tonka? Hp has nothing to do with the stress an engine can take although might have a bit to do with how well ya go down the road with the load! As a Hino owner I don’t think for most loads she’s going to notice the extra weight and on the ones she...

I’m hanging in there Dianne and you? Glad you getting a good deal and think you’ll be happy you got the extra goodies I didn’t will help you keep rolling. Think you’ll be happy with the truck though for sure! Good luck Alvin aka the can opener

I’m doing great with my hino and the service at other dealers is fantastic I had a unsual problem with mine only 2 hino’s mine being #2 having a computer take a burp. The only bad thing about it being the second one is they had to fly a factory rep out to check it out and took a few more...

any thing over 32k GVW and has air breaks is considered a class 8 truck. But there are light class 8 day cab to full down the road integrated sleeper class 8 there are heavy class 8 day cabs but most are lighter class 8’s not to be picky but most people don’t realize that.

55 if they have the allison is the sweet spot in the rpm range I rarely go below that but if speed limit is higher I'd rather go up @ 65 :) (yeah even at max weight - fule used)

You must have the standard my hino has a Allison and its geared way lower than that but it does good on the hills run once with a person with same setup as mine but had the gear swap to higher gears and on mt eagle she blew me away and with about 2 mpg better to boot. On the auto at least with...
