Characteristics of the Hino model truck, operating features

Hino Ranger is a family of medium-duty cabover trucks, the production of which began in 1969. The creator of the model is the Japanese brand Hino Motors (a subsidiary of Toyota Motor). The family is usually divided into 2 large groups of cars with a gross weight of 7.5-8 tons and over 10 tons. Light models have a length of up to 12 m and code names FC, FD, FE, FF, FG, FL, FM. The further the second letter in the alphabet, the greater the truck's payload capacity. All-wheel drive is installed exclusively in the FT and GT versions.

Hino Ranger competed in the Dakar several times, finishing well in the top ten. The family is currently out of production. In the brand's model range they were replaced by the 500 series.

Model history and purpose

The Hino Ranger is unfamiliar to domestic car owners, since this family is produced primarily for the Japanese market. In Russia, the model is not often seen. Moreover, there are practically no right-hand drive modifications of the truck.

1st generation

The first Hino Ranger appeared in 1969. The debut generation was produced until 1980. It included several versions with different wheelbases (short, medium, long). The cars were equipped exclusively with diesel units and were rarely exported.

2nd generation

In 1980, the Hino Ranger underwent a deep facelift, after which the second generation of the model was presented to the public. Its production continued until 1989. In Indonesia, the car was produced until 2003. Hino Ranger was supplied to the European and Russian markets in single batches. The cab of the truck resembled the domestic KamAZ (no hood, large bumper and 4 headlights at the bottom). Technically, the second Hino Ranger looked good, but it was not adapted to Russian realities.

3rd generation

Since 1989, the brand began producing the third generation of the model. In the Japanese market, the truck was available in the Space Ranger, Cruising Ranger and Rising Ranger modifications. For the American market, the designation was made up of letters and numbers indicating the version, weight and power of the engine (for example, FF3020). The model was also supplied to Russia. Externally, the third generation differed from its predecessor with smoother lines. The headlights increased in size and were combined into one lampshade. The comfort of using the car has increased due to the use of higher quality materials and a new driver's seat. The number of modifications of the truck has also increased, which has expanded its scope of application.

4th generation

In 2001, the fourth generation of the Hino Ranger premiered. This version with a total weight of 12,000 kg is currently being produced. At the same time, the export variation was called Hino 500. The family includes many modifications with different cabins (variable parameters: bed, width, height), gross weight and wheelbase length. A wide range of add-ons is also available for the chassis. The most popular are:

• isothermal van;
• onboard platform;
• tanker truck (fuel truck, sewer truck);
• refrigerator;
• tow truck with a crane installation or a sliding platform.

Externally, the latest generation of Hino Ranger has retained the features of its predecessor. At the same time, the family began to be equipped with irregularly shaped headlights and a bumper in the color of the cabin.

The scope of application of Hino Ranger is quite wide. Basically, the car is of interest to the commercial segment to perform the following functions:

• transportation of goods of various weights and volumes;
• performing various types of work in the industrial and construction fields;
• transportation of goods requiring special temperature conditions.

The main clients of the model are large retail chains and the commercial segment, but the truck is often used as a personal work vehicle.
Low cost and high performance indicators allow it to be used for a variety of purposes. Hino Ranger, despite its long history, is not so widespread in Russia. However, the model continues to explore a new market, constantly expanding the ranks of its fans.

greetings to all users, I bought a Hino Ranger 1994 h07d 4 months ago, everything was working fine, well the day has come x))) I was driving home with 600 km left and then suddenly it started to stutter, the feeling of not having enough fuel, the speed was slowing down, I stopped at idle normally, I was re-gassing, everything was fine too I checked the filters, they were clean, I unscrewed the pumping fitting, I cleaned the mesh in the tank, I reached there and cleaned it too.

Last message

If there is a mountain brake, disassemble it and check it, I have unscrewed the nut that holds the damper, and the damper remains in the closed position, so the car does not move and stalls..

Engine

Hino Ranger is equipped with economical diesel units with emission standards that meet Euro 4 standards. The motors are distinguished by an increased service life. The diesel engine is built on the basis of a new naturally aspirated design with a Common Rail system (fuel supply under high pressure), which can significantly reduce the volume of soot and nitrogen emissions in the exhaust gases. The power plant provides good dynamic qualities (Japan has a lot of mountain roads, so similar characteristics are necessary here).

The engine is installed directly under the cab. It is distinguished by its simplicity and lack of bells and whistles, which has a positive effect on reliability. At idle speed, the unit operates smoothly, without emitting any odor. The car is equipped with 2 fuel tanks (100 and 200 l).

The Hino Ranger is equipped with several types of engines of different sizes. The most common is the engine with a volume of 5123 cc. see Characteristics of this unit:

• rated power – 140 (190) kW (hp);
• number of cylinders – 4L;
• maximum torque – 637 Nm;
• compression ratio – 18;
• Fuel consumption at average load is 13.5 l/100 km.

No less common are modifications with a 6-cylinder diesel unit with a capacity of 8 liters. Motor characteristics:

• rated power - 235 hp;
• average fuel consumption is 14-20 l/100 km.

The units allow you to reach speeds of 100-110 km/h.

Device

The design of Hino Ranger meets high quality requirements. The cabin is both functional and comfortable. For the driver, the developers have provided a seat with a separate air suspension. A seating area and air conditioning are already available in the basic version. The instrument panel is located quite low, which increases frontal visibility. The driver is located in close proximity to the main switches and controls.

The Hino Ranger is equipped with two types of rear suspension - pneumatic and spring. To reduce the loading height, tubeless low-profile tires with a wheel diameter of 17.5 inches are used. Single leaf springs used in the truck allow you to extend its service life. They feel great on uneven terrain and off-road. Thanks to the reinforced frame design, the correct distribution of increased loads is achieved and the integrity of the structure is maintained.

The owners of the Hino Ranger noticed that the model is capable of carrying a much larger load than the declared one. However, experts do not regularly recommend using a car with a maximum weight limit, as this can end in disaster. The chassis of the vehicle is of improved quality and can last up to 500,000 km without problems, even on Russian roads. For it, it is enough to periodically lubricate some elements.

The Hino Ranger body is coated with special compounds that protect against external influences and corrosion during regular use. The blocks are additionally protected from dirt and dust. This increases the overall work resource. It is adaptation to difficult working conditions that is considered one of the main advantages of a car. So, the truck functions normally on Russian fuel.

In the basic configuration, the Hino Ranger is equipped with a 4-spring cab suspension, air conditioning, electric windows, power steering, sleeper, air suspension and heated driver's seat, fog lights, central locking, heated mirrors, ABS, ASR, pneumatic braking system and an electric cab lift system.

The Hino Ranger is mostly available in right-hand drive versions. Conversion to left-hand drive is very expensive, since adaptation requires the replacement of about 60 elements. In addition to moving the steering, it will be necessary to change the ventilation system, engine shield, headlights, dashboard and move the pedal unit. Economically, this procedure is very unprofitable.

Another disadvantage that drivers regularly complain about is the cold cabin. In sub-zero temperatures, the comfort of working in a car decreases sharply. The stove functions normally in exceptional cases (sometimes replacing antifreeze helps).

Hino Ranger is equipped with a generator without a brush assembly. This design is convenient because it practically does not break. There is no need to purchase additional spare parts for the element. The only thing that can fail is the bearings.

About spare parts

Spare parts for a car are not cheap, and you can’t buy them everywhere (mostly, to order). Since the Hino Ranger is not very common on the Russian market, used parts will also not be easy to obtain. The model is aimed at the Japanese market, so sometimes you have to wait a long time for original spare parts. In some cases, after accidents and accidents, it is much easier and more profitable to sell a Hino Ranger than to try to restore it. True, this is not true for all regions of the country. In the Far East, on the contrary, there are much more problems with parts for European cars than with spare parts for Japanese ones. When purchasing a car, you should check whether services and spare parts for this brand are available in the region.

Despite its shortcomings, the Hino Ranger remains one of the highest quality vehicles in the commercial segment.

Cabin arrangement

The cabin of cars of this brand is more elongated than that of conventional vehicles of this category. The truck has significantly improved key aerodynamic parameters by significantly increasing the overall slope of the front window. This leads to an overall reduction in fuel consumption. Small changes directly affected the radiator grille and main headlights. The previously missing back side of the wall appeared. Due to it, you can move the driver's seat far enough.

Large model cab

Other important advantages of the new model’s cabin include:

1. A tall and wide doorway.
2. The cabin is long enough.
3. Convenient location of the gearshift lever.
4. The presence of two drawers on the ceiling.
5. Modified dashboard.

The gearshift lever of a Hino truck can be folded if necessary. This feature allows you to sleep comfortably in the truck cab. The instrument panel has become significantly larger in size, there is a display that shows the engine temperature and the amount of fuel in the tank. The steering wheel is equipped with an airbag.

About spare parts... Additional equipment

Before we had time to post the article Turning off the urea on HINO 500, we got a call Guys, save us, we are passing through, we have the 500th Hino, and everything is bad there. The refrigerated van on the HINO 500 chassis is designed for transporting goods that require certain temperature conditions: vegetable products, meat products, medicines, etc.

Address:

In this way, the use of braking mechanisms can be minimized where road conditions allow it from a traffic safety point of view. In this case, it will resume after the engine speed approaches the idle speed; the fuel supply will also resume after pressing the clutch pedal or switching to neutral gear.
