The 13L is soffered in the US, but it cannot compete with the Cummins offerings. Some of our 140+ dealerships throughout the US are also Ud And Isuzu dealers and we are in constant worh their corporate offices all the time as their largest dealer network in NORTH America. The reason why they don't offer ther bigger trucks offered elsewhere is because they don't sell well compared to the current competition from the domestic brands since it has less power and capability than what is already offered in the US.
The 13litre is not avaiable in the US, Only the 8.8 ltre.
HinoUS XL class 8 with 9 litre Diesel
Well seeing
NA has a complete aversion to Cabovers, I find it not surprising they do not sell well in the US. As it stands all Japanese and European OEM's are very busy with Global Sales
On the other hand US HDT's are mainly rextrited to NA and what I gather a pretty nasty turn down in sales for 2019
I wouldn't say NA has a "complete aversion" to cabovers. There are lots and lots of the small Isuzu and Fuso cabovers around my area. They are very popular in landscaping applications and small box trucks. The medium to large cabovers (with up to 24') box used to be popular about 20 years but not any more. I drove one a few times, they were very nice trucks, much nicer and well built than what Ford, GM and International had to offer.
