The Hino 258LP is a very versatile truck. The combination of superb manoeuvrability, payload capability and 6 available wheelbases (175" - 253") make it ideal for towing, landscaping, and the delivery of building materials, furniture and general freight. Hino's 7.6 L, 6-cylinder, 220 hp, turbocharged, diesel engine provides excellent fuel economy, power and throttle response.
The standard transmission is a 6-speed Eaton FS5406A (253" wheelbase) and a 6-speed Allison 2200RDS automatic transmission with PTO capability is optional. Hydraulic disc brakes with ABS are standard equipment. Rear air suspension is optional. This truck includes a number of cost saving features, including:
* Self-adjusting Clutch (manual transmission models)
* Long Life Engine Coolant
* Oil-lubricated Front Wheel Bearings
Using ultra-low sulfur diesel fuel, Hino's Diesel Particulate Reduction (DPR) system collects and periodically re-burns the soot that derives from diesel fuel combustion. This leading edge technology reduces soot exhaust by an amazing 90%! Hino's DPR technology has been proven effective and reliable here and in Japan.
