The Hino 600 (also known as the 165, 175, 185, 268, 338 and 358 nameplates, and as the 'L Series' since the 2021 model year[1]) is a conventional cab medium-duty truck manufactured since 2004 in the US by Hino.

The first-generation 600 was introduced in 2004 for the United States and in 2005 for the Canadian market to replace the fourth generation F-Series cabover. A new, facelifted 600 was introduced in 2007 for both the American and Canadian markets. Some CKD kits were imported from Japan. Class 4 and 5 models were replaced by the Hino 155 and 195 in 2012.

The L series' exterior design features new headlamps, and a redesigned bumper. The interior also features a four-spoke steering wheel, a 7-inch Multi Information Display (MID) and a selection of options. The carryover diesel engines remain unchanged.
