【中古トラックジャッジ】激レア！現行プロフィアの"前ダブ"が入庫→まさかのジャッジ結果に

This is the sixth installment in our series where we appraise each used vehicle and decide on its destination! This time, we'll be checking it out with Mr. Shimada, the chief of the vehicle sales department. The vehicle we're featuring is a current-generation 17-series Hino Profia FN—a van with the so-called "front double axle" (two front axles). Now, with fewer manufacturers producing this type of vehicle, it's a rare sight in current models. In fact, this is a vehicle that Mr. Shimada drove during his time as a route driver, so it holds a special place in his heart (he even says, "Don't sell it!" lol). This vehicle was acquired through an M&A from a company in Okayama and was used at our Tsuyama branch. ▼Key Features of This Vehicle 2018 Model Year / 1.12 Million km A rare and stylish Windsor Z air deflector!

Based on real-life experience during its active service. Are vans easier to drive than wing vans because they have less box twist? In other countries (Philippines), there are examples of front-mounted double-deckers being converted to 4-axle low-floor vans!? And the verdict this time is - it will be sold to the user! There are customers who are actually looking for a rare front-mounted double-decker, so we will make direct proposals (not listed on the website). If you are interested, please inquire as soon as possible. #UsedTruck #HinoProfia #FrontDoubleBike ------------------------------ Please subscribe to our channel! → https://youtube.com/@japan.trucks?si=... 【X】→  / hinoshimijun   【Official TikTok】→ https://www.tiktok.com/@shimijun_truc... 【Official Instagram】→   / shimijuntrucks
