Hi mate sorry for the late reply. Yes that would of been a great truck. I’ve traveled a lot through south east Asia and are a lot of these v8s still hauling over there. Great to see. Thanks for reaching out

Always loved the sound of the V8 Mitsubishi's and Fuso's 👍

Hi mate yeah before that injector leak it was a very nice sounding truck.

I remember the Fuso's when I was a kid . The sound of the turbos when changing gears etc. UDs were a bit like that too. As I lived right beside the Bruce Highway.

Always surprises me how long Japanese trucks stuck with big-capacity, non-turbo engines; particularly since Japan is kinda hilly… I guess the lower heat output meant a smaller heat-exchanger and hence a lower cab. Even the ‘90s British-market Hino FY275 8x4 tipper chassis had a 15.8-litre straight-six nat-asp at 270bhp while the competition offered 9-10 litre turbo sixes at 290ish bhp. I hope someone is saving the best of these quirky and respectable beasts 🙂

That kind of trucks are really sought after here in the Philippines because we Filipinos really prefer manual injection pump engines because they are really easy to work on and the reliability of it because we really use trucks a lot here. We get surplus trucks from Japan with over a million kilometers and then convert it to LHD. As long as it is well maintained, those surplus trucks that we got from Japan can run another million kilometer and even more.

And also to add, we love these kinds of engines because of the power it gives. Not gonna lie, we tend to overload here that's why we need the power.

@stevesplacedownunder

Hi mate great comments. Yes I’d rather these mechanical engines as well. More realisable and can be repaired on the road. Any Japanese stuff is good reliable equipment. I have no doubt that you will get that many kms out of them. They are fairly steady but strong and reliable.

Japanese trucks of this size are completely unknown in Europe! The heaviest Japanese model available in Europe is the Fuso Canter with a maximum permissible gross weight of 8.5 tons! But most trucks from Japan do not have a maximum permissible gross weight over 3.5 tons!
