FW-455LRS2

Notes: Known to the Japanese armed forces as the Type 84 truck tractor, this semi-tractor is designed primarily for cargo trailers with no more than three axles, though it may also carry light tanks and armored vehicles. The truck uses a forward control cab which tips forward for maintenance of the engine and transmission. The cab doors are unusual, having windows at both the top and bottom with a small metal panel separating them. There is a stowage rack for the crew’s equipment on the roof of the cab. There is also another stowage rack on the rear of the cab, but it normally carries a spare tire. The suspension is 6x6, but designed primarily for road use.

NW-204JR

Notes: An older truck than the FW-455LRS2 above, this vehicle is of similar towing capacity as that vehicle. Known to the Japanese armed forces as the Type 73 truck tractor, this semi-tractor is also designed to tow a semi-trailer with no more than three axles, and can tow the same semi-trailers as the FW-455LRS2. However, instead of being a cabover design, the NW-204JR is of conventional design, with the engine at the front under a hood and access panels, a center cab, and a rear area with the fifth wheel.
