ADVANTAGES SPECS EQUIPMENT OPTIONS WARRANTY
Mitsubishi Fuso:

  • All of these Mitsubishi Fuso trucks use the same Mitsubishi diesel engine. 243 hp and 514 lb.-ft. torque with the Mitsubishi manual transmission or Allison automatic. 274 hp and 593 lb.-ft. torque on FM with Eaton manual transmission
  • Mitsubishi Fuso model nomenclature identifies GVWR. The FM260 GVWR is 25,995; FM330 GVWR is 32,900 lb.
  • Transmission choices limited to 6-speed direct drive manual or Allison 2400 automatic on FM260 or 6-speed or 9-speed manual or Allison 3060 on FM330
Isuzu F-Series Advantages Over Mitsubishi Fuso:
  • Mitsubishi Fuso trucks are not spec'd, but selected from stock, with only wheelbase choices as a significant alternative
  • Spec-based configuration allows GMICT to meet customer needs (model-based configuration with Mitsubishi Fuso)
  • Choice of taperleaf or multileaf front suspension to handle high CG loads (taperleaf front suspension only on Mitsubishi Fuso)
  • Hydraulic opposed-piston front and rear disc brakes standard below 33,000 lb., for powerful braking and easy service (front and rear air-over-hydraulic drum brakes on Mitsubishi Fuso FM260. Air brakes on FM330)
  • Resin plate protectors for door handles help protect cab (not available on Mitsubishi Fuso)
  • Back-of-cab reservoir access for oil, coolant, power steering and brake fluid simplifies daily service (back-of-cab reservoir access for oil only on Mitsubishi Fuso)
  • Longer maximum wheelbase can handle longer body lengths (260.0 in. vs. 239.4 in.)
  • Choice of taperleaf, multileaf or air rear suspension provides ride quality, durability and lightweight benefits (multileaf rear suspension only on Mitsubishi Fuso, except optional air suspension on FM260 with 218 or 239-in. WB)
  • Optional bolted-on rear suspension for ease of adapting (not available on Mitsubishi Fuso)
  • Higher maximum frame yield strength for durability (120,000 psi available vs. 51,200 psi)
  • Low Profile Package optional for lower ride height (not available on Mitsubishi Fuso)
  • Longer warranty on frame rails helps control repair costs (60 months/unlimited mileage vs. 48 months/unlimited mileage)
  • Tilt-cab mechanism in a safer location (passenger side vs. driver side)
  • Lower passenger-side window enhances driver vision (not available on Mitsubishi Fuso)
  • Longer, more comprehensive roadside assistance coverage helps reduce service costs (36 months/unlimited mileage vs. 24 months/unlimited mileage; full roadside assistance vs. towing only)
  • Unlimited mileage powertrain warranty vs. 250,000-mile powertrain warranty limit
  • Higher available GVWR, for maximum load carrying capability (40,090 lb. with single axle or 56,000 lb. with tandem vs. 32,900 lb.)
  • Choice of engine power from 200 hp to 300 hp allows customer to tailor truck to needs. Mitsubishi Fuso has single engine output for each model
