The Hino (not manufactured by but affiliated with Toyota), Isuzu's, UD (Nissan) etc. are all good trucks but you better have patience and a fat wallet when you need parts. The Dodge dually has a 12,000lbs gvwr but many are way overloaded and they can pull 16,000 lbs. (Dodge specs.)I have seen a couple guys run what they call "Hot Shots" and pull 36,000lbs and have their rigs classified as med. duty trucks (I don't know the specifics). The cummins 5.9l can be ordered in a Ford F700 as well as other med. duty trucks and industrial equip. The first overhaul in the owners manual is recomended at 340,000 miles. Its got 4 wheel disc brakes which are the largest of the big 3.Besides that, those japanese rigs are uugggly.
