The 5 Series forklift was probably the best forklift ever produced. Im not a fan of the 6-Series especially the ones that came with the 3 L GM engine.
The 4Y engine is also the best engine ever put in a forklift. I doubt anyone will disagree with me on that. The 4.3V6 engine was a mistake and hopefully Toyota will be putting the 1FZ motor in the new 8-Series 8000 -15000 pneumatics. The first 6 Series cushion trucks were crap. They upgraded them in 1997. The 8 series trucks are a lot tougher than the 7-series with much thicker frame metal.
Its funny I dont see any other reps telling me they have a better truck than a Toyota or over 30% market share. Usually the other reps brag about their lower price!
