NPR Advantages Over Mitsubishi Fuso FE125

Mitsubishi FE 125

NPR 3500

Mitsubishi Fuso FE125:

  • Mitsubishi Fuso sells a full line of low cab forward trucks covering the same weight categories and customer needs as the N-Series trucks
  • FE125 is a new class 3 model in the Mitsubishi Fuso lineup with 12,500 lb. GVWR competing against NPR
  • Standard Aisin 6-speed automatic transmission
  • No gas engine available in any Mitsubishi Fuso
    33.1 in. frame rail width
  • 5-year/175,000-mile powertrain warranty

NPR Advantages:

  • Available gas engine has 75% more power than the Mitsubishi diesel and offers lower initial cost and lighter weight for greater payload (gas engine not available on FE125)
  • More available wheelbase choices on lightest GVWR model (4 vs. 3 for FE125) to meet customer needs
  • Longer available wheelbase (176.0 in. vs. 154.2 in. on FE125) with longer available CA allows NPR to carry longer bodies
  • Higher torque output (441 lb.-ft. vs. 391 lb.-ft.) improves load carrying and towing
  • Higher horsepower output (205 hp vs. 185 hp) helps get work done faster
  • Tighter turning diameter (curb-to-curb) for comparable cab-to-axle (33.5 ft./109.0 in. WB vs. 35.1 ft./114.6 in. WB) improves maneuverability
  • Higher front-axle capacity (6830 lb. vs. 5510 lb.) contributes to durability
  • Longer, more comprehensive roadside assistance helps customer manage possible service costs (36 months/unlimited mileage vs. 24 months/unlimited mileage, towing only on FE)
  • Higher rear-axle capacity contributes to durability in commercial operation (11,020 lb. vs. 9,880 lb.)
  • Taperleaf front springs contribute to ride quality and durability (multileafs used on FE125)
  • Wider door opening for easy entry and exit (85 degree vs. 70 degree)
  • Higher level of standard equipment with cruise control and air filter restriction gauge. These are not available on FE
  • Better front bumper protection, with more than twice the distance from the cab provided on the NPR
  • Greater cab interior room, with 4 inches greater width for crew
  • All-season front and rear radial tires provide optimum mix of traction and mileage (highwayfront and traction-rear radials on FE)
