Isuzu FTR vs Fuso FM260 (reliability, 4x4 swap, international parts, etc)

Matt Dickens

Long time lurker looking for some information on a potential near future build.

US based and will be traveling in the us primarily for the first few years.
Will be building a ~18’ habitat for full time living (have floorplan in mind already)

I’m looking at pre 2007 Isuzu FTR or Fuso FM260 trucks.
Is there any glaring differences between the two in reliability, power, affordability or accessibility of maintenance, etc?
I know the FTS trucks exist overseas for possible 4x4 parts, is it also available for the Fuso?

Open to any information. I have been looking at Darrin Finks FM260 builds for a while, even got to see one in passing in Colorado last year.

Thanks in advance

Fuso has stopped selling trucks in the USA I believe. Parts availability in the US may become a problem after a while.
