R Trucks / Configuration overview
The HOWO 371 6x4 tractor head pulls trailers rather than carrying a tipper body. Compare new and refurbished offers from China, then confirm the trailer coupling, gearing, steering side and destination requirements in writing.
The HOWO 371 6x4 tractor head is a prime mover for container, flatbed, lowbed and tanker trailers. The 371HP reference uses the WD615.47 Euro II diesel engine. Match the engine, gearbox, axles and trailer coupling to the truck on your quotation.
This is a supplier reference configuration, not proof of an offered truck. Match the engine, gearbox and axle plates to the written offer. Ask for dated photographs and an inspection of the actual unit.
The reference below uses the WD615.47 371 hp engine. Higher-power tractor models need a separate engine and drivetrain specification; this sheet does not establish a 420 hp WD615.47 option.
| Item | Reference specification |
|---|---|
| Engine | SINOTRUK WD615.47, 371 hp, Euro II |
| Drive | 6x4 |
| Gearbox | HW19710, 10 forward / 2 reverse |
| Front axle | HF9 |
| Rear axles | HC16 double reduction, ratio 4.8 |
| Fuel tank | 400 L |
| Steering | Supplier reference is LHD; RHD orders require their own confirmed specification |
| Trailer matching | Confirm fifth-wheel size, mounting height, kingpin and permitted combination weight |
Route gradients, legal combination weight, gearing, tyres and trailer compatibility matter together. Horsepower alone does not establish fuel consumption, payload or climbing performance.

Match the engine, gearbox, axles, tyres and drive side to the written quotation.
Match the chassis number and identification photographs to the truck offered.
For a refurbished truck, record the repairs and replacement parts included in your order.
Ask which brake, steering, electrical and hydraulic checks were performed and request the results.
Agree the loading method and securing arrangements for the selected truck and shipment.
Confirm the invoice, packing list, chassis details and destination document requirements before shipment.
You receive a practical export plan based on your destination port, quantity, and required configuration. Confirm the specification, export documents and loading method before shipment.
Recommended method is based on your port, batch size, budget, and local import conditions.
This step reduces “wrong configuration” disputes and avoids delays at destination clearance.
Document accuracy is critical for smooth clearance and correct ownership registration.
Port, quantity, trailer type, route conditions and the required truck configuration.
EXW / FOB / CIF based on your purchasing preference and local import handling.
Container / Ro-Ro / unit shipment (and SKD/CKD if applicable).
VIN verification + spec checklist + invoice/packing list/B/L preparation.
Provide shipment details and coordinate on destination clearance support if needed.
To get a matched shipping plan, send your destination port, quantity, and preferred Incoterms.
Request Shipping PlanPublished EXW Jining guide ranges per tractor head are USD 16,000 to 20,000 for standard refurbishment, USD 20,000 to 24,000 for a full rebuild, and USD 29,000 to 33,000 for a new truck. These October 2026 ranges are guidance; the quotation confirms the configuration and price.
Compare offers on the same delivery basis. China inland and port charges, ocean freight, insurance and destination costs need separate confirmation where excluded. Freight is quoted for the shipment.
Compare brand-new, standard-refurbished and high-standard-refurbished offers. Standard preparation keeps the engine, gearbox and rear axle assembled; a full rebuild includes dismantling and overhaul. The quotation must list the agreed work, components, tests and exclusions.
Request dated photos and inspection results for the truck offered. Reference photographs and specification sheets do not establish current stock, the installed components or a passed test.

Send the trailer type, typical load, route, country and quantity. Confirm the fifth wheel, gearbox, axles, steering side and local eligibility for the actual truck.
Agree the inspection scope and timing before paying. Request dated vehicle and component photographs, the preparation list, test results and any unresolved defects. A live factory video call can help you review the offer.
R Trucks uses 30% deposit and 70% before shipment. Preparation is normally 30–45 working days to a Chinese port after the deposit; ocean transit and destination clearance are additional. Confirm the schedule and warranty coverage in the written contract.
Use the existing tractor comparison guide, then compare the exact component lists. A cab or series name does not establish one universal engine or axle configuration.
To provide you with an accurate quotation, pricing is calculated based on configuration, destination, and operating conditions rather than a generic price list. This ensures the selected tractor truck matches your route, payload, and long-term cost expectations.

The classic HOWO 371 uses a 9.726 L, six-cylinder, turbocharged and intercooled WD615.47 diesel. Trailer matching depends on the fifth wheel, axle ratio and permitted combination weight as well as engine power.
| Gear selection | HW19710 manual transmission: 10 forward gears and 2 reverse gears. |
|---|---|
| Cab reference | HW76 sleeper-cab layouts include two seats, one sleeper and air conditioning. Confirm the cab fitted to the offered truck. |
| Rear axle selection | The R Trucks sheet specifies HC16 axles with a 4.8 ratio. A different ratio changes gearing; do not substitute one without checking the route and trailer. |
Reference examples describe possible equipment, rather than current stock. The written quotation confirms the engine, chassis, body and included equipment for your order.
The specifications above describe our HOWO 371 6x4 tractor reference specification. They are a reference for your enquiry, rather than confirmation of an allocated truck. Ask for a configuration sheet that identifies the offered chassis, engine, gearbox, axles, drive side and body or trailer coupling.
Agree the scope on your quotation and keep a record of repairs, replaced parts, remaining defects and inspection results. A repaint or reference photograph cannot demonstrate internal overhaul work.
An anonymized summary of a third-party SHACMAN dump-truck report dated 15 August 2026 records manual checks of vehicle identity, major accident signs, exterior, engine bay, cab, chassis and dynamic operation as passed. Instrument testing was marked exempt; the report contains no instrument measurements.
This is a historical example from a different truck and configuration. It is not a R Trucks-commissioned inspection, evidence about current stock, or certification for your destination. Identifiers and third-party customer details are omitted. Agree the tests and pass criteria for your own order.
The camera moves around a white HOWO tractor in a workshop, showing the cab, exposed chassis, coupling and rear running gear. No spoken transcript is supplied because this version has no audio. Ask for a dated walkaround and identification details of the allocated truck.
