Japanese Used Truck Guide
Japanese Truck Engine Model Codes List
Check the model code and engine type before buying a used Japanese truck or used truck engine from Japan.
Japanese trucks are trusted worldwide because they are durable, easy to maintain, and supported by a strong parts market. However, many trucks look similar from the outside. Therefore, buyers should always confirm the model code and engine type before purchase.
This guide lists major engine model codes for Toyota Dyna, Toyota Toyoace, Mitsubishi Fuso Canter, Mitsubishi Fuso Fighter, Isuzu Elf, and Isuzu Forward. It is designed for overseas buyers who are searching for a used truck, replacement engine, or spare parts from Japan.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Important Note
Some model codes have several versions depending on year, emission standard, transmission, gross vehicle weight, body type, and market. For final confirmation, please send us the full chassis number or auction sheet.

1. How to Read Japanese Truck Model Codes
In Japan, the full model code may include an emission prefix such as KC-, KK-, PB-, PDG-, BKG-, TKG-, SKG-, and 2RG-, followed by the core model code. For example, PB-XZU301 and KK-XZU301 both use XZU301 as the core model code.
The core model code is very useful when checking engine compatibility. However, it is not always enough by itself. Always confirm the chassis number, production year, and original engine plate when ordering an engine or parts.
2. Toyota Dyna / Toyoace Engine Model Codes
Toyota Dyna and Toyota Toyoace share many platform and engine combinations. Older models often use Toyota B-series, L-series, Y-series, and R-series engines. Later 2-ton to 4-ton trucks often use Hino diesel engines such as S05C, S05D, N04C, J05C, and J05D.

9. FAQ About Japanese Truck Engine Model Codes
Is the model code enough to identify the engine?
The model code is very useful, but it is not always enough. The same core model code may have different details depending on year, emission standard, transmission, fuel type, and body specification. The chassis number is the best information for final confirmation.
What is the difference between model code and engine type?
The model code identifies the vehicle specification. The engine type identifies the engine family installed in the vehicle. For example, PB-XZU301 is a vehicle model code, while S05D is the engine type.
Why do some Japanese truck model codes have prefixes?
Prefixes such as KC-, KK-, PB-, PDG-, BKG-, TKG-, SKG-, and 2RG- are related to Japanese vehicle regulations and emission standards. Overseas buyers often search by both the full model code and the core model code.
Can EVERY export only the engine?
Yes. We can search for used truck engines from the Japanese market. Engines can be exported individually or in bulk by container, depending on availability and destination.
