Why is the fact that one (1) unit a big deal? Well, this is the first time the complete and modern 8x4 Japanese heavy duty truck has been sold in Cameron Highlands. If you'd actually been to Cameron Highlands, you'd notice the amount of 4X4 pickups, especially modified Land Rover Defenders, Land Cruisers and small 1.5 ton trucks plying the mountainside roads packed fully to the brim with vegetables and other agricultural products. A big, nice and complete without any extra mods after the factory 8x4 (8 wheeler, with 4 of its wheels driven making it very suitable for the windy and sometimes slippery roads around the Highlands) is a welcome addition.

The Quester is part of UD Trucks’ new offering of trucks and services primarily designed for Asia and other growth markets. The Japanese heavy duty commercial truck is known for its wide range of applications, from long-haulage and distribution to construction and mining, allowing it to meet the unique needs of growth markets, at affordable prices.
