The Hino L8 is equipped with a 14,000-lb. reinforced front axle, giving it superior capacity for transporting heavy loads. This configuration, especially with the “Maxi” option, can result in a slightly larger turning radius than that of the L6 and L7 models.
Nevertheless, thanks to a steering angle of around 55°, the Hino L8 truck retains excellent manoeuvrability, even with its larger size.
