New Diesel-Powered COE
The newly designed cab and chassis will also be available in a Class 4 and Class 5 diesel engine only configuration starting September. All models are powered by Hino’s J05E Series engine producing 210hp and 440 lbs.-ft. of torque. The transmission is Aisin’s 6-speed fully automatic A465. Driver comfort is enhanced with a unique magnetic suspension seat in a cab designed to accommodate drivers up to 6’6” tall. The Class 4 truck will be rated at 14,500lbs GVW while the larger Class 5 truck will be rated at 19,500lbs GVW.
