Thank you!! though it has been years since this video was originally cut, Isuzu has maintained the agility and ergonomics. and now with the Cummins engine - Power!
@ 4:13 looks like 2300rpm @ 77 mph. That is good to know. My old company bought a new Chevy(Isuzu) W4500 with 4.8L Diesel (don't remember year) and it was geared so low, that the RPM was maxed out(3000rpm?) @ 75 mph and would get 8 mpg with a stake bed and lift gate.
Thank you for the shared information. My regrets for not being available to answer this question. Let me know if there is any current question I can try to do better on. Best Regards,
Ian - thank you for the feedback! I agree there is going to be an amazing shift in the power curve with the upcoming introduction of the 6.7 Cummins ISB. And I believe the improved torque will be a boon to those in more mountainous areas. What are you feelings about the strength of the Allison and Cummins power match? I think it will take Isuzu to the next level in acceptance as the go to truck for Maneuverability, Lowest Life Cycle Cost, And now POWER!. Shoot - with the three year unlimited mileage engine and transmission coverage AND a built in rest bunk!! too awesome for the regional operator. AND, did you know there is a way to mount a sleeper to this amazing truck? Thank you again for the feedback!
We have a 2014 NQR diesel and its gutless (not to mention the slew of seemingly endless after treatment issues) I can't imagine that same engine in a bigger heavier truck.
I can assure you the little NQR you mentioned does NOT have the same motor as this truck. This truck should, IIRC, have the 7.8 6HK1. The NQR uses a 4HK1 4 cylinder diesel.
The current engine is the Cummins 6.7L engine. My regrets for not being available to answer this question. Let me know if there is any current question I can try to do better on. Best Regards,

No regrets - the engine was turn up to maximize the fuel efficiency and the torque was compensated through the 6.14 rear ratio. But we have since moved to the Cummins 6.7L engine due to emission standards. My regrets for not being available to answer this question. Let me know if there is any current question I can try to do better on. Best Regards,
The FTR and FVR now comes with the Cummins Diesel engine. Also in standard and lo profile tires. This affect the rear gear ratio. Do you have a preference?? How can I help sell you your next truck?? Thanks!
Excellent Choice? Let me know where you are located and I will find my closest vendor relationship to you. If you prefer - shoot me an email at molden@lee-smith.com or text 423-618-3323. Best Regards!
Brilliant! - So very glad to put the pieces together for you on your truck need!! 423-618-3323 or molden@lee-smith.com. I have three units coming in March that I can work toward meeting your need!

@@yourchava Thank you for your thoughts on the truck. At this point of product, the 6.7 Cummins will be the engine moving forward. The 5.2 will not be an option. We look forward to the power and trust the fuel performance to be comparable. Call me 423-618-3323 or email molden@lee-smith.com
No, this truck was loaded with steel plates to the GVW rating. The purpose of that was to simulate the real world use. This particular unit was the cross country test and show and drive unit. Pretty impressive drive - at least I thought so.
@@MichaelOlden you were going 70 loaded up? I would have to attach some turbine thrusters to our Hino 268 to even BEGIN to dream of that. Even unloaded the truck hates going speed limits. Anything over 55 and it gives up
@@StrikerV3 Suggestion: Often national fleets will speed limit their trucks to maximize fuel. If you are the secondary purchasers - make an appointment with your technician - have the check for a speed limit setting and clear that setting. Hino is an okay competitor - and 55MPH is abnormal. So - I think you'll find a governed speed setting 'enabled'.
No is the answer - not yet. My regrets for not being available to answer this question. Let me know if there is any current question I can try to do better on. Best Regards,
Great looking truck Mike- awesome presentation.

These look real cool I didn't know how big they were until I saw it next to a semi and it looked huge
@@starlightandeverythingnice1650 Yep! It truly is a commercial truck - and now more power comes through the Cummins 260hp engine!

Sweet jesus...nevermind that. It's a 4 cylinder 😳, must be uprated for that model truck

I've drove a manual version and loved it
Wow, was this recent or awhile ago?
@@MichaelOlden About a year ago
That truck has some giddy-up! Our Hino 268 can’t even handle a headwind empty xD cruising 55mph on a 70mph freeway
TY for your thoughts !! - I look forward to your connecting me with your buyer!
What is the gearing?
The FTR and FVR now comes with the Cummins Diesel engine. Also in standard and lo profile tires. This affect the rear gear ratio. Do you have a preference?? How can I help sell you your next truck?? Thanks!
Im looking to get one with a hooklift system on it or just cab and chassis

Hello what is the torque and engine size on the truck demonstrated? Thanks Ezekiel great video!
520# ft 5.2L
if you buy one get it with the 6.7 cummins, the 5.2 is lacking in power i have one
very nice trucks though, i can not stand the conventional trucks, cabovers all the way!!
@@yourchava AWESOME!! Call me 423-618-3323 or email molden@lee-smith.com

Nice i need one
More than happy to help when you are ready! molden@leesmith.com
I’m assuming the truck is empty while trying to get to freeway speed?
No, this truck was loaded with steel plates to the GVW rating. The purpose of that was to simulate the real world use. This particular unit was the cross country test and show and drive unit. Pretty impressive drive - at least I thought so.

Option for 19.5 wheels?
No is the answer - not yet. My regrets for not being available to answer this question. Let me know if there is any current question I can try to do better on. Best Regards,
What is the driver's license to be able to drive this truck?
Class C
Thank you for the question and as BiggaDred commented - a class C - NON CDL license is all that is needed.
@BiggaDred - Thank you for the response to this question. Hope all is well with you and your business!
Any money in the box truck industry?
Absolutely!
