Recently, I have circled around Japan, talked about Nissan's early pickup trucks, and missed the prototype of Tianjin Daihatsu. Japan is a very special place, they attach great importance to tradition, but they like to break the rules, and the specific example can be referred to the Renault Nissan thing. Today, let's talk about Hino's truck, a model that has been carried on from 1963 to the present day, the Ranger truck.
The early Hino Rangers belonged to the K series models, while the later period was actually only the medium and heavy vehicle parts of the F series models, including FC, FD, FE, FF, FG, FL and FM in the F series, and the letter change meant that the payload gradually became larger. The F-Series small and medium-sized FA and FB were later replaced by Hino's Dutro models, which were Toyota's sister models.
The first generation of Hino Ranger KM300 trucks in 1963
The first Hino Ranger was the KM300 truck introduced in 1963, followed by the KL series in 1969 and sold in Australia under the Toyota KL300 name. The Ranger KL series is available in the short wheelbase KL300, medium wheelbases KL340 and KL350, as well as the long wheelbases KL360 and KL380. The K series also includes other models such as KB, KR, KQ, etc., and the engine is divided into 4.5-liter DQ100 and 5.0-liter EC100.
Today's Hino Ranger truck should belong to the sixth generation, and the cab can still see the original shadow after years of changes. The wide front windshield directly in front provides better visibility, the figure-eight wiper at the bottom inherits the original design, but is more cleanable, and in the middle of the wiper is an elongated boarding armrest with a groove. The chrome fang-shaped front grille is particularly sharp, and Hino's "H" logo is located in the center of the first chrome trim strip. The lower anti-collision beam is divided into two parts, the upper part is still fang-shaped with the front headlights on both sides, and the lower hollow diversion channel increases the sense of movement.
The cab offers a variety of options, including low and high tops, as well as different styles such as single and single row with sleepers and double rows, but the co-pilot's "OK window" is standard. U-arms are used on both sides of the front of the car with traditional optical rearview mirrors, and the right side of the driving side mirrors are divided into two split rearview mirrors. The left U-arm has increased the forward swing amplitude, in addition to the dual rearview mirrors also added front mirrors.
Nowadays, it is rare for a model with such a personality in the interior, and this latest Hino Ranger interior is still rectangular in layout, and has not been optimized for arc. The versatile four-spoke steering wheel facilitates multi-message switching, cruise operation and hands-free calling, and Hino's chrome logo in the middle is very eye-catching. The front instrument panel is a double large meter layout with an LCD display in the middle and a circular air conditioner outlet on both sides. There is a recessed placement table above the middle of the front panel and a multimedia and knob air conditioning controller below. There is also a USB power connector on the side of the controller to facilitate charging of electronic products or connection to in-vehicle electronic systems.
The enlarged speedometer and tachometer make it easy for the driver to control the vehicle, and the 7-inch display in the middle can be switched to display a variety of information.
The versatile adjustable high-back seat improves driver comfort, and the 1+1 seat layout allows for clutter and water glasses in the middle. The model with a narrow sleeper is not very friendly to the stronger friends, and it is estimated that if you want to rest with peace of mind, you can only put the front seat flat, but for Japanese card friends who like to eat raw food, it should not be a big problem.
The high-roof cab version has multiple storage spaces in the front of the high-roof cab version
The vehicle is also equipped with a number of safety features, such as the driver's abnormal real-time response system (EDSS), the pre-collision safety system (PCS), the driver monitoring system, the vehicle shaking alarm, the lane departure warning system and so on.
The vehicle is equipped with hino A05C dual supercharged diesel engine, which can cover 190-260 horsepower and has a maximum torque of 882N·m, this small displacement high-torque engine can reduce fuel consumption.
The open front face is easy to service
The classic side-beam frame has an elephant trunk fuel tank on the left, which is universal with lock and door key, and airbag suspension on the rear axle. After reading what you want to talk about about the Hino Ranger car, welcome to leave a message and build a building to tell us.
