Today’s truck test drive

Picking up a 700 Series Hino today for a long distance test drive. Driving from Sydney to Brisbane pulling single trailer should be a good test of what this 460 hp truck can do in the real world. It should be loaded up to about 40 tonnes, this is the sort of work it can expect to do in its working life.
The 700 is plated up to a GCM of 75 tonnes but, in reality, very few of these trucks will pull a B-double, apart from local hauliers moving containers around in the city.
This my first experience on a full day’s drive with the 700, in the past it has been short trips around Sydney. This is a chance to open her out and see what the new-ish model is made of.
