I am in limbo...I get that a 6T truck w/347 ft/lbs it is going to be slow, I just don't know if I can go that slow...the alternative is to step up to a Unimog u500, but it seems like overkill. I like the thought of creating some performance improvements on the base FG140. What manufacturers...

I am trying to get some real world driving experience from people who have built on the Fuso Fg140 platform. I expect to spend the majority of my time in the US/Canadian Rockies and touring Alaska. So most of the freeway journey will include passes and mountain elevations. Will a FG140...

Thanks Mog...now it seems that the paper specs of the 2012 are closer to the 2004 (and earlier)...the 5.71's are back and the torque is down. Hmmm really want to drive one loaded down to see how the truck performs. If it can pull the load, eliminating the need for clutch replacements and...

Can you confirm the pre-2012's axle ratio? I thought it was 4.875

More discussion on the merits or lack of for the 2012 I agree...torque is the magic number and the 2012's 295 ft/lbs seems like a major issue for those wanting to use the carrying capacity of the truck. On the plus side, the massive 5.71 LS option seems like a real benefit. This might...

Lehel, Nice looking rig...did you build or buy the camper. Also, when you changed tires, did you add/change suspension? tnx dave

drifting back to 19.5's Andrew, Lehel, Thanks for the feedback and guidance. The 275/80 MPT81s are just at max load for the FG rear axle (I generally like to over engineer, especially when I am changing the design specs...in this case 'super singles'). As I have been evaluating options, I...

I am planning an FG conversion to single rear wheel. Has anyone moved to the 20" wheels to accommodate a Continental 275/80 R 20 MPT 81? It appear that these can air down better than the 19.5 tires available. If this is an incorrect assumption, please advise.

It looks like Fuso extracab FG 4x4 may be coming to USA. Found this on truckpaper: http://www.truckpaper.com/listingsdetail/detail.aspx?OHID=2645229& Looks like a good expedition option. According to the advertisement, we will know for sure on March 8!

Regarding popup campers. I chose a Hallmark after visiting their factory in Ft Lupton, CO. They are extremely well designed and have great thermal properties for winter use. Since you are on CO, I would advise a quick trip out to see the construction and finish quality. I believe that...
