1. Engine & Performance

The 2011 models typically feature Hino's highly durable overhead camshaft, common-rail diesel engines.

  • Engine Models: Commonly equipped with the J08E (6-cylinder) or J05E (4-cylinder) turbo-diesel engines.

  • Displacement:

    • J08E: 7.68 Liters ($7,684\text{ cc}$)

    • J05E: 5.12 Liters ($5,123\text{ cc}$)

  • Power Output:

    • J05E: Approx. $210\text{ HP}$ to $240\text{ HP}$

    • J08E: Approx. $260\text{ HP}$ to $280\text{ HP}$

  • Fuel System: Direct Injection Common Rail with Turbocharger and Intercooler.

  • Emissions Compliance: Meets Euro IV / Euro V or Japan's Post New Long-Term Emissions Regulations (depending on the original market).

2. Drivetrain & Transmission

  • Transmission Options:

    • 6-speed Manual (Most common for dump configurations)

    • 5-speed Manual (Lighter variants)

    • 6-speed Automatic (Optional in specific regions)

  • Drive Configuration:

    • $4 \times 2$ (2 axles, 6 wheels — standard medium duty)

    • $6 \times 4$ (3 axles, 10 wheels — heavy-duty variant)

3. Weights & Capacities

  • Payload Capacity: Generally ranges from 4 Tons to 8 Tons for the standard $4 \times 2$ Ranger chassis.

  • Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW): Typically between $11,000\text{ kg}$ and $15,000\text{ kg}$ ($24,000\text{ lbs} - 33,000\text{ lbs}$).

  • Fuel Tank Capacity: Generally $100\text{L}$ to $200\text{L}$ depending on the wheelbase configuration.

4. Chassis & Dimensions (Standard $4 \times 2$ Dump)

  • Overall Length: Approx. $6,000\text{ mm} - 6,800\text{ mm}$

  • Overall Width: Approx. $2,200\text{ mm} - 2,400\text{ mm}$

  • Overall Height: Approx. $2,500\text{ mm} - 2,700\text{ mm}$

  • Dump Bed Mechanisms: Underbody hydraulic tipping mechanism (ShinMaywa or Kyokuto mechanisms are standard on Japanese imports).

5. Suspension, Brakes & Tires

  • Suspension: Semi-elliptic leaf springs with shock absorbers (front and rear) optimized for heavy hauling.

  • Brakes: Air-over-hydraulic or Full Air brake systems with ABS (Anti-lock Braking System).

  • Tire Size: Commonly 8.25R16 or 11R22.5 depending on the weight class.
