Mitsubishi Fuso’s New Canter FE160

With the economy going in the right direction and gas prices relatively low, a lot of businesses are now turning their attention to the vans and trucks that are such an integral and invaluable part of so many businesses. It’s a good time to look at upgrading or expanding at this moment, which means competition for orders is pretty fierce. The Mitsubishi Fuso range of medium-duty trucks is definitely one of the major contenders in the market right now, with its simple mission stated as being “to deliver lower cost of ownership than competitive trucks.”

That’s exactly what you want from a truck, and the new Canter FE160 has certainly been making a big play for a slice of the catering market recently, with the manufacturer showing it off to potential buyers at the National Restaurant Show in Chicago.

The FE160, with its GVWR of 15,995 pounds, is right at the heart of the Mitsubishi Fuso truck lineup. The FE160 offers everything you could really ask for in a truck of this size, with a comfortable cab, outstanding versatility, excellent fuel economy and a class-leading warranty that sets it apart from its rivals.

engine that helps contribute to a responsive feel to the steering and a great drive for a truck of this size and capability. Whether you work in construction, industrial supply, landscaping, refrigerated transport, or just about anything else you care to think of, the Canter FE150 can be adapted to perfectly suit your needs.

The FE150 features a flat frame that’s 33.5-inches wide, which makes it easy to mount truck bodies up to as much as 22 feet long. With the new Canter FE150 also capable of carrying more than a ton more payload than the leading cab-over in its class, this is a truck that’s a fantastic way of moving your business forward.

Joshua Tregear, Mitsubishi Fuso Truck of America’s manager of marketing communications, said of the new model, “Our Canter work trucks have been designed for lower cost-of-ownership, especially in urban and sub-urban distribution applications. They offer superior fuel economy, higher payload capacities and longer service intervals than many other medium-duty commercial trucks.”

It’s hard to ask for more from a truck, but the FE150 also comes with a standard warranty package that includes a three-year/unlimited-mileage, bumper-to-bumper warranty, as well as the exclusive five-year/175,000-mile power-train limited warranty. That all means the Canter range offers FUSO owners the best warranty protection currently on offer in the industry.

The engine in the Canter FE150 is a highly-efficient 4-cylinder, water-cooled, turbocharged and inter-cooled diesel, which produces 161 horsepower at 3,500 rpm, and 295 lb.-ft. of maximum torque at just 1,600 rpm.
