Transmission Standard Transmission Options: Allison Automatic (e.g., 1000 or 2000 series) and Hino Manual Transmissions (e.g., 5-speed or 6-speed). Optional Optional Transmissions: Availability of different automatic or manual transmission configurations based on model and application. Features Transmission Fluid Type: Specific Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF) or Manual Transmission Fluid (MTF) as specified by Hino; typically Dexron-VI for automatics or GL-4/GL-5 for manuals. Dimensions Exterior Gvwr Range: Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) varies significantly by model: 238 (approx. 23,000 lbs), 258 (approx. 25,500 lbs), 268 (approx. 26,000 lbs), 338 (approx. 33,000 lbs). Wheelbase Options: Multiple wheelbase options available to accommodate different body types and intended uses. Weights Curb Weight: Varies based on configuration; typically 10,000 - 15,000 lbs. Safety Features Ratings Crash Test Ratings: Commercial vehicles of this class are not typically subjected to the same standardized passenger car crash testing (e.g., NHTSA 5-star). Safety is primarily addressed through design and compliance with commercial vehicle safety standards. Active Features Braking System: Hydraulic disc brakes (front and rear). Models may also feature ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) and potentially air brakes on heavier duty variants (e.g., 338). Steering System: Power steering. Passive Features Occupant Protection: Seat belts, reinforced cabin structure, potentially airbags (driver-side usually standard). Technology Features Infotainment Infotainment System: Basic AM/FM/CD/MP3 radios were common, with optional auxiliary inputs or Bluetooth connectivity depending on trim and model year. Advanced infotainment systems are less common in this class. Driver Assistance Driver Assistance Features: ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) is standard. Advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) like lane departure warning or adaptive cruise control are typically not found on these models. Connectivity Connectivity Options: Auxiliary input jacks, USB ports (on later models), Bluetooth connectivity for hands-free calling and audio streaming. Maintenance Service Intervals Oil Change Interval: Typically every 10,000 to...
