Sterling 360 and Mitsubishi Fuso FE140/FE145:
- Mitsubishi Fuso sells a full line of low cab forward trucks covering the same weight categories and customer needs as the N-Series trucks
- Sterling sells this as the 360
- FE140 is 14,050 lb. GVWR competing against NPR
- FG140 is a 14,050 lb. GVWR 4WD version of FE140
- FE145 is 14,500 lb. GVWR competing against NPR-HD
- No gas engine available in any Mitsubishi Fuso or Sterling
- 33.1 in. frame rail width
- 5-year/175,000-mile powertrain warranty
NPR and NPR-HD Advantages Over Sterline 360 and Mitsubishi Fuso FE140/FE145:
- Available gas engine has more than twice the power of standard Mitsubishi diesel and offers lower initial cost and lighter weight for greater payload (gas engine not available on FE140/145/360)
- More available wheelbase choices on lightest GVWR model (4 vs. 3 for FE140) to meet customer needs
- Longer available wheelbase (176.0 in. vs. 154.2 in. on FE140 or 164.2 on FE145) with longer available CA allows NPR to carry longer bodies
- Higher torque output with manual transmission (441 lb.-ft. vs. 347 lb.-ft.) improves load carrying and towing
- Higher horsepower output (205 hp vs. 175 hp with automatic transmission and 147 hp with manual transmission) helps get work done faster
- Tighter turning diameter (curb-to-curb) for comparable cab-to-axle (33.5 ft./109.0 in. WB vs. 35.1 ft./114.6 in. WB) improves maneuverability
- Higher front-axle capacity (6830 lb. vs. 5510 lb.) contributes to durability
- Longer, more comprehensive roadside assistance helps customer manage possible service costs (36 months/unlimited mileage vs. 24 months/unlimited mileage, towing only on FE)
- Higher rear-axle capacity contributes to durability in commercial operation (11,020 lb. vs. 9,880 lb.)
- Taperleaf front springs contribute to ride quality and durability (multileafs used on FE140/145)
- Wider door opening for easy entry and exit (85 degree vs. 70 degree)
- Higher level of standard equipment with cruise control and air filter restriction gauge. These are not available on FE/360
- All-season front and rear radial tires provide optimum mix of traction and mileage (highwayfront and traction-rear radials on FE)
