HINO 300 FAQs

• How much weight can a Hino 300 carry?

  There are a number of different variants within the Hino 300 range, including what are effectively different models. Each of these has a different payload rating, which is due to the fact that they have different set-ups. At the front of the pack in terms of strength, however, the Hino Built to Go Alloy Tray is rated at 4.5 tonne to be driven on a car licence, or either 5.5 or 6.5 tonnes for maximum payload. All models can be rated at 4.5 tonne to be driven on car licence or uprated to either 5.5 or 6.5 tonne for maximum payload.

• What licence do you need for a Hino 300?

  To drive a Hino 300 you have two options at your disposal. In particular, variants of the Hino 300 Series like the 616, 616 IFS and 617 models can be driven with a standard car licence, making these vehicles accessible to a large audience. On the other hand, the more heavy-duty variants from the 300 Series range require an LR or MR licence, which cover light rigid class vehicles and medium rigid class vehicles respectively. This is a step above your standard car licence.

• Are Hino engines good?

  Hino engines are among the best in the business, and when it comes to the truck industry, the backing of Toyota has proved immense in helping this name make a name for itself. The brand has consistently fared well in the eyes of customers and truckies alike, with the performance, durability and reliability of its engines often central to that positive view. What's more, the company's engine warranty, decent fuel economy, and the ease of access to service or maintain the engine have been identified as highlights.
