So, bad bad news, my truck crapped out on me today. Damn 6.5T won't hold it's pressure, apparently most likely cause would be crankshaft bearings. Anyway, time for a new truck. I really want a cabover this time, preferably with an aluminum box. I'm going to try this one out in the morning, 2013 ISUZU NRR 215 HP Automatic, 26k km, asking 63k.

It's a nice truck, but that will make some nice monthly payments also, especially during the winter months, so most likely out of the question.
Option 2 is this 2000 Hino FB1817, 168 HP, 5 speed stick, 160K, asking 25K negotiable. Original owner, only one driver.

I'm a little worried about the power on the Hino, even if it has a 17 800 GVWR, seems low at 168hp. I did run some Fuso FG140s when I was working for a guy and they only have like 150hp, but they would definetly struggle with larger loads. The Hino isn't a long term truck, but the dump body could always be swapped out if I do decide to upgrade.
What do you guys think? I know the truck is the cornerstone of any good company, but 63k is a good chunk of change for me right now.
