Right now we are in need of the new Straight Truck under 26k grossweight and we have to make a decission if we should invest in to Hino, FL, FORD, Mitsubishi, Isuzu, Isuzu , International or other. Money is always limited so your feedback is crutial to us. Thank you and have a good day.

One criteria that I'd look at: Who will be doing the maintenance and repairs, and are they any good at it? For example, if your local FL dealer is a bunch of idiots, then I wouldn't buy a FL.

If you are thinking of a NEW Hino, the 2013 COEs and 2015 conventionals have improved the dpf heating system. While a massive amount of effort was put into getting the 11-14 burner system working reliably (and they are reliable now), the 2015 is going to utilize a different setup (similar to the COE trucks) and those things are even more reliable yet.
