Because their trucks - including older reserve units - are so immaculate and well maintained, they are very well regarded in export markets when they have finally completed their service life in Japan.
Sometimes they are reworked to add features or specifications, but very often - like thus example - they continue their service life on foreign shores largely unchanged.
