NQR Advantages Over Mitsubishi Fuso FE180

Mitsubishi FE 180

NPR 3500

Mitsubishi Fuso FE180

  • Mitsubishi Fuso sells a full line of low cab forward trucks covering the same weight categories and customer needs as the N-Series trucks
  • FE180 with 17,995 lb. GVWR competes against NQR
  • Standard Aisin 6-speed automatic transmission
  • 33.1 in. frame rail width
  • 5-year/175,000-mile powertrain warranty

NQR Advantages:

  • Isuzu powertrain warranty includes engines, transmissions, axles, driveshafts and universal joints. Mitsubishi Fuso powertrain warranty only includes engines and transmissions
  • Longer available wheelbase (200 in. vs. 189.4 in. on FE180) with longer available CA allows NPR to carry longer 22-foot bodies
  • Higher torque output (441 lb.-ft. vs. 391 lb.-ft.) improves load carrying and towing performance
  • 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. 34.8 ft./114.6 in. WB) improves maneuverability
  • 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 (14,550 lb. vs. 12,700 lb.)
  • Taperleaf front springs contribute to ride quality and durability (multileafs used on FE180)
  • Wider door opening for easy entry and exit (85 degree vs. 70 degree)
  • Higher level of standard equipment with standard air filter restriction gauge, not available on FE
  • Better front bumper protection, with more than twice the distance from the cab provided on the NQR
  • Greater cab interior room, with 4 inches greater width for crew
  • 19.5 inch tires on Isuzu are available in many choices. 17.5 inch tires on Mitsubishi Fuso have limited availability and tire selections. Larger diameter wheels on Isuzu allow larger brakes.
  • Isuzu's larger tires contribute to long tire wear and higher geared road speed
