Isuzu NQR vs Mitsubishi Canter vs Hino

[Victor Morhaim]

Which new truck is best buy? Isuzu NQR, Mitsubishi Canter or Hino.

It depends on what you plan on using it for.

Will have a drop side body. Mostly hauling sacks of agricultural products weighing about 13-14 thousand lbs. for about 70 miles.

As long as the truck is rated for that weight, it really doesn't matter. Imo

You're probably right. I thought one might have a better reputation for reliability than the others.

They're all going to be pretty good. Which local dealer is the best to deal with? That's often more important than the emblem on the front.

It's hard to beat a Hino 195, they have a 5yr 200,000 mile warranty. I hardly ever see them in the shop for any real downtime issues. I worked at a Isuzu dealer for ten years and have been working on Hino's for 8. I would see 5 Isuzu's for every Hino. The Hino COE's were offering free maint for 2 years as well. I'm not sure they are still offering that though.

I'm pretty sure they are. And you're right, they're pretty darn good.

The only COEs I've seen with regen or driveability problems also have a fuel tank full of gasoline.
