Choosing the Right Fuso® Truck
Investing in a Fuso truck can boost your efficiency by making it easier to transport cargo, tools, equipment, and materials to and from one destination to another. But with so many high-quality models on the market, how do you find the right fit for your business? The following guide walks you through all the important questions to consider when choosing a Fuso truck. If you’re looking for more expert advice, feel free to ask the friendly staff at our dealership.
Medium or Heavy Truck?
It’s best to know what you’re after before setting out to find it! Depending on the kind of work you plan to do with your Fuso truck, you might need a vehicle capable of a lower or higher GVWR, or something that can fit attachments, make local deliveries, or fit down narrow streets. You’ll also want to determine whether you want a flatbed or a trailer, with a few variations in between. When it comes down to it, a medium-duty truck offers more utility than heavy trucks, but heavy trucks are where to go for anyone looking to haul cargo between locations.
Gas Vs. Diesel
It’s an age-old question in the world of commercial trucks. Gas or diesel? Each fuel type has its advantages and disadvantages, so you will want to weigh your options carefully when exploring Fuso trucks. Diesel tends to be the more common choice among commercial drivers. Diesel trucks cost more but offer more power, better mileage, and longer lifespans. Gas-powered Fuso trucks are more affordable at the outset as well as being cheaper, faster, and easier to maintain due to the easy availability of parts.
Seating Options
Fuso trucks come with a variety of cab designs to accommodate different numbers of passengers. If only the driver will be transporting the cargo, go for a model with a compact cab and a design that prioritizes cargo space. Traveling with a work crew? Choose a model with enough seating for everyone, and a comfortable amount of legroom! Driving around all day in cramped quarters can take a toll on your joints, and no one wants to arrive at the job site already feeling sore from the journey.
Features
An important part of the trucking business is maximizing uptime. No one wants to spend valuable time waiting for their vehicle to be repaired at the service shop. Fuso trucks strive to ensure that their vehicles stay on the road as long as possible. Drivers can use inbuilt diagnostics to easily spot and fix problems, rather than pulling over and checking under the hood.
