Hino 185:

• Hino sells a line of short-nose conventional trucks covering the same weight categories and customer needs as the N-Series trucks
  
• 185 is 18,000 lb. GVWR competing against NQR
  
• No gas engine available in Hino trucks
  
• 5-year/175,000-mile powertrain warranty

NQR Advantages:

• Higher torque output with manual transmission (441 lb.-ft. vs. 376 lb.-ft.) improves load carrying and towing
  
• Isuzu has five wheelbase choices, Hino has only 3. Isuzu has an 80-inch CA available. Hino's shortest CA is 105.6 in.
  
• NPR's longest wheelbase provides 40 inches greater available CA for longer body capacity up to 22 feet
  
• Hino weighs approximately 1000 lb. more than the diesel NQR due to the conventional cab design. This requires a higher GVWR for Hino than a comparable Isuzu.
  
• Higher diesel horsepower output (205 hp vs. 175 hp) helps get work done faster
  
• 6-speed automatic vs. 5-speed automatic contributes to fuel efficiency and performance
• 6-speed manual vs. 5-speed manual contributes to fuel efficiency and performance
  
• Tighter turning diameter (curb-to-curb) for comparable cab-to-axle (40.7 ft./132.0 in. WB vs. 46.0 ft./169 in. WB) improves maneuverability
  
• Higher front-axle capacity (6830 lb. vs. 6,250 lb.) contributes to durability
  
• Tilt cab allows easy engine access (limited engine access on Hino)
  
• Higher rear-axle capacity contributes to durability in commercial operation (14,550 lb. vs. 13,000 lb.)
  
• Wider door opening for easy entry and exit (85 degree vs. 70 degree)
  
• Standard front stabilizer bar vs. optional on Hino
  
• All-season front and rear radial tires provide optimum mix of traction and mileage (highway front and traction-rear radials on 185)
