    Dongfeng KL Reviews

    Powerful and all-purpose

    The Dongfeng KL has a wide power range, numerous driving conditions, and a solid and reliable chassis. It’s a full sized truck and if you can want to transport a huge volume in one attempt, then this truck is the best for you. The cabin is nice and the design is ergonomic. You can travel long distances without any fatigue. Dongfeng is a well know brand in its home country China. The 11-liter diesel engine is the strongest in class and delivers an amazing performance. It’s extremely powerful to haul all types of loads.

    Trouble free experience

    The Dongfeng KL was not my first choice when I was looking for a multiple truck deal for my organisation, as I was quite sceptical about its reliability given that it is a relatively new brand in the market compared to other big names. However, I must admit that the Dongfeng KL has impressed me with its capabilities and trouble free experience, the latter of which is a testimony of its good reliability in a longer run. I would personally recommend it for heavy duty purposes.

    Premium cabin

    There are very few full sized trucks which offer a premium cabin like that of the Dongfeng KL. I have never felt to be in a cost effective cabin when I sit in the KL’s driver compartment. The rounded dashboard design which looks driver oriented makes everything at place very easily reachable for the driver. All the controls are placed nicely, and even the gear lever is nice and very slick to use, something which is not too common in truck driving experience. Even the basic music system it comes with sounds nice and is a nice feature.

    Hino FM1A Reviews

    The best among the biggest

    I was looking for a heavy duty, massive truck for my construction business. I used to hire them earlier but now felt the need to have a truck of my own. The Hino FM1A suited my needs perfectly. It’s the best flatbed truck in the industry. It has a long wheelbase and I built a massive container on the chassis. Now I don’t have to hire multiple trucks to carry the cargo. The engine of the FM1A is super strong. The 9.0-liter, 6-cylinder diesel engine produces 1,422Nm torque. That’s a massive number. Driving comfort is good. But there should have been AC in the cabin.
