Those Host units on the Fuso 4X4 chassis sure look a little low on grey water capacity and LP capacity. However, fresh water capacity is great. I wonder where all that fresh water is going to wind up, considering that they're using a cassette toilet?
Their top speed (FWIW as a guage, only) versus their rated GVWR is indicative of what you give up with that little tiny diesel in them. Wow .... only 161 HP to move along a GCWR of 21,765 lbs.. Of course, the turbo will keep it pulling the best it's going to even in the High Sierras. Those very low ranges of available differential ratios (5.285:1 or 5.714:1) are probably what's absolutely required to get that little motor to do what it does - albeit slowly.
