I'm sorry Broompilot Ive been beaten to death with the freight business, service issues with the truck it's non-stop. If you read some of the replys back to me they sure sounded like some personal attacks, like I have a warranty so we run the equipment in the ground because it's covered, to your...

X06col: (WOW) Folk's rely on warrantys. Thats right! Weather it comes with the vechile or we pay several thousands of dollars for the protection we are intitled to have (reasonable service) and to be treated fairly. It's just like paying big money for health insurance for your protection only...

X06col: You seem to be missing the point, asking me if my honeymoon is over defending Hino trucks etc. I will also address trucks having problems as they get older, "of course they do." We have had nothing but good service out of our Hino truck since we brought it home back in Nov of 2006. With...

Hi everybody: One bad fuel injector in July and we were down several days before the corporate service Rep authorized the repair and ordered the part. (One Injector) Five more to go to deal with? August 1st: Truck was runinng rough and blowing heavy black smoke? corporate Hino Rep has to...

Make a complaint with your Dealership Salesman, we have had our Dealership salesman call his district service manager and we had a $190 service bill refunded back to us because the Hino Dealership down south we stopped at ripped us off for a computer diagnosis bill on a dirty fuel filter, they...

Our 2007 Hino came with a 4.11 rear gear and we had it changed to a 3.91 and we get close to 10 Mpg depending on conditions and how much we carry. We have 170K on our unit and it's been almost trouble free, other than a couple of minor repaires. Garman

I did a lot of research on Hino's before we bought our 2007 338 model. They come with a 4.10 rear axle standard and we had ours changed to a 3.91 big difference in better performance for Mpg. I would ask other Hino owners with autos what they think. I personally would stay away from an...

I'm just wondering Critter Truckin: Do you own the Hino or drive for somebody? garman

Great Job Daveke: I like your comment with your fictional analysis of a Hino only getting a decent Mpg unless it's going off a cliff. Unless you drive a Hino your torque & horse power numbers are a nice put down on paper only, but we drive a Hino and we get over 10 Mpg on a regular basis unless...

LDB: Thats very informative? I would bet the good Folk's over at Freightliner and Jon Mosier would totally agree with you. What is it you drive? And you continue to buy from? Garman

We have a 2007 Hino 338 with a 6 speed manual. They come with a 4.10 rear gear and that is to much for the highway, we had ours changed to a 3.90 and that worked out real good for us. We get around 10.4 Mpg. The whole drive train is American made other than the motor which is an awsome unit...

We own a 07 Hinny and we had the gears changed from (4.10) to 3.90 before we bought it. Also the stock seats are no good either, we went with Balstrom's and we get a little over 10.3 Mpg. Most of our load's are around 6,000 Lbs and with better Mpg going up a hill a little slower does not matter...

(Sixwheeler) You have made some valid points against Hino's,Yes the fuel tank is to small, the Automatics do need another gear that is why they "did not get very good MPG" and the stock seats are not designed for Highway use and the rear gears being a 410 was just stupid for highway use. I'm...

Well (Mudflap) like everybody else you have your opinion, but you being a profet or a visionary I dont buy it either! As technology changes all products are improved, everybody complains about the new cars having so-much electroinc's they cannot work on them anymore unless you have a college...

(Easytrader) Remember we were talking back & forth about the new Hinos and sleepers etc. I ended-up buying my new Hinny from Interstate Trucks because they gave me what I wanted for my trade-in and we went with the same sleeper you have the 96in AA "We love it" Did Churneys put the 342 gears in...

(Rollybil) Come on lets get real about this issue! I researched many Hino owners who had their trucks since 2005 and they love them. I know many fleet owners who has purchased more of them after they bought their first unit. I have no doubt you might have purchased a bad unit,it happens. All...

We have a new Hino 338 with a 6-speed and we had the gears changed to 373 from the 410 before we bought it, and we get around ten MPh and it is not broken in yet. Problems (NONE AT ALL) We have close to 40K on ours and we really like our unit. More power would be nice but, I would rather have...

It might not be a Freighliner pushing the Hinos up any hills "Black tiger" I read another post that some fleet owner is fed-up with Freightliner service going down hill, I guess if he deals with Alumijunk that would make sense. Garman351

Sorry Broompilot: It must of been another Hino owner who I talked to who had the computer go out on them? You dont think I received a great deal, I felt pretty proud of my self thinking everyhting I received for $95K was pretty darn good. What all did you get that is close to my price or...

(Simon Says) Good points! "I do like your handle you can use that for a lot of things to say." Hino's have been out for a 1 1/2 years now, here is the story. * Hinos are a very affordable truck to buy. (Quality Built) * They come with the only three year warranty at no cost. * 7.3/4 % interest...
