Unique to North America, the Fuso FG all-wheel-drive cabover is strong and highly maneuverable..............................

If you want a cab-over-engine truck with go-anywhere, four-wheel-drive capability, the Fuso Canter FG is your only choice. So what? So plenty to a select group of users who appreciate a cabover’s compactness, maneuverability and ease of maintenance.

For a given body length, a cabover is several feet shorter than a conventional-cab truck, and so is the cabover’s wheelbase. This makes it easier to slip through urban traffic and scoot around job sites. Outward visibility for its driver is usually better, too. This is a real plus off-road: When cresting a hill, you can see what’s immediately ahead and below from behind the wheel of a cabover, but all you see with a conventional is its hood...............................

Mitsubishi Fuso Truck of America imports the recently introduced Canters, which have refined cabs, 2010-legal diesels, and automated-mechanical transmissions as standard equipment. The parent company in Japan is 89 percent owned by Daimler Trucks of Germany, making Fuso a cousin to Freightliner and Western Star trucks here. And its 4P10 four-cylinder diesel uses a Daimler-style BlueTec urea-injection system. The 3-liter engine’s horsepower and torque numbers are modest—161 and 295, respectively—but it scoots nonetheless, and the truck is fun to drive.
