I have been driving a 7.5T Canter for 3 months now and here follows my review: Good points: The brakes are good, smooth and responsive The cab heater is good with enabling the cab temperature to be finely controlled. The steering is ok with a reasonable turning circle - not as good as a DAF but similar to an IVECO Bad points: Where to start there are so many!! Ride Comfort By far the worst of the worst bad points is the ride comfort. This is awful and IMHO dangerous. Even on a mildly uneven surface at 30MPH the truck bounces wildly. As for speed bumps, 10MPH is too fast. If you hit a bumpy surface on a corner the truck will lurch either towards the nearside or offside partially leaving the road surface. This can lead to you being sent towards oncoming traffic. Due to the ride, nothing stays where you put it in both cab and cargo area. Items will break free from any straps, straps will break. If the cargo items are not very well packaged they will get damaged. If you have the suspension seat on anything less than maximum hardness, your backside hits the floor and your head will nearly hit the roof Rear View Visibility This is poor to non existent. Due to the fact that the cab is much narrower than the truck body even with the extended mirrors you have no idea what is behind you for 300 yards on a straight road. There are no blind spot mirrors, no forward proximity mirror. Anything on the nearside close to the vehicle disappears so you have to be extra careful when moving from the middle lane to the nearside lane and at junctions turning left. Engine Power and Torque The engine has little to no torque and will simply run out of steam on a slight gradient especially if you have ECO mode selected. The engine is weak to asthmatic with poor acceleration especially when fully loaded. Exhaust Brake This does nothing except make a noise and illuminate an indicator on the instrument panel. It will not slow you down on a gradient Automatic Transmission Simply the worst Auto box I have driven. At a roundabout you have to press the accelerator 2 to 3 second before a gap appears. If you wait for the gap and then hit the accelerator by the time you start moving the gap has invariably gone. Cab Storage The storage bins are made for a 10 year old size hand. Do not put anything in the centre lower bin that is small as you cannot get your hand into the bin to retrieve it. The upper storage bins will take an A4 ring binder - just - but don't expect it to stay in place as it will fall on you during the trip due to the bumpy ride. The door bins are shallow, narrow and almost totally useless. Even a cloth will not stay in the bin. Sleeper Pod OMG what a bad way to spend a night out. If you are a midget and a contortionist then you will be fine. If you are a regular sized Englishman then God help you. Just getting into the pod is a work of art and muscle power. The hatch on my sleeper pod is less than 18 inches square so I have to put both arms through first and haul up the rest of my body into a fetal position once up so I can close the hatch, make the bed, get undressed and get into my sleeping bag. God again help you if you have forgotten something like locking the cab as you have to reverse then entire process to get out and then get in again. TIP- take an empty 5L screenwash container with you in case you need to fill it during the night. The night heater will boil or freeze you. Set it to 19 degrees and the pod will heat up to 24 degrees as the volume is so small that when the heater cuts off the pod will continue to warm up beyond the set temperature. Oh and by the way you cannot even sit up in the pod. Others: Fuel consumption is poor at around 15 to 17 MPG. Less than a comparable DAF or IVECO due to the fact that the engine and transmission have to work extra hard just to maintain reasonable speed and acceleration No cruise control No lane departure No steering wheel controls. These would be useful for the radio as trying to even adjust the volume is tricky due to the bumpy ride If you see an amber SAM warning on the instrument cluster and look in the user manual it will tell you that this indicates a problem with the SAM module - really helpful. what it actually means is you have a bulb out although some bulbs will trigger the warning and others won't Recommendations if you are considering a Canter: Use only for a maximum 3.5 Tonne body and for day work only Conclusion This truck is a shocker and again in my humble opinion bordering on dangerous for a 7.5 Tonner. I am surprised that this truck is even legal on UK roads due to the poor rear and side view visibility with a large truck body behind. If you care about your cargo and have a little thought for your drivers and care about MPG avoid this truck!!! Finally I have just picked up a Canter from Hatfield due to a broken prop shaft so mechanically the truck is weak

Love my 2013 4x4 Fuso canter BUT front end has a real problem ! Pulls left and scrubs front tyres real bad. I have a mate with same truck, has same issues ! 2 front end "professionals" have 2 different solutions but no guarantees Hoping someone can assist, love the truck just not the front end HELP

Looks cheap inside, drivers seat like a deck chair, auto box smooth but takes forever to change down, rolls around on corners has no suspension just bounces around, very slow on hills with no weight on it, no cruise control, If you need to carry 3 ton and dont care about your drivers then it might work for you.

This is my second Canter, been very reliable and always up to the job when needed. Only downside is cost and availability of parts.

I bought my 2008 Fuso truck brand new for $35,000 since then I have put over $30,000 into repairs. The truck is in the repair shop more than on the road. The truck has less than 100,000 miles on it and it is sitting in the repair shop again. I would not recommend a Fuso truck.

This is my second Mitsubishi Truck. The first served me well but they don't build trucks like they used to. Here is a list of repairs and you be the judge: May 2013 Purchased Jan 13 - Recall Parking break lockout+oil filter head. Feb 2013- Gears locked-New Transmission, Mar 2014 Towed, Newly designed Transmission, April 2014-Service another 2 Recalls, June 2014 - New Transmission, Sept 2014-New Rear Brake Pads,Oct 14-Service another 2 Recalls- Inline Fuel Filter & Oil Cooler hose, Nov 14-Recall weather Kit, Jan 15 - Engine Light on, Feb15-Engine light on, Mar 150 Engine light on March 2016- Engine light on, June 2016- Air Conditioning Unit replaced hoses all showing wear and tear. Finally, complained to dealer about rust around windshield where my other trucks have none after 8 years. Told by dealer they received similar complaints. I read warranty to dealer 4 year Anti Corrosion Perforation Coverage, told Mitsubishi Service Agent said this is covered by 3 year warranty and I must pay for repainting. Unsightly. Do not buy this truck.

This truck will put you out of business. Two transmissions and engine rebuilt three times.

Got convinced to go for a 2015, super happy with it. Cost in comparison was much cheaper then anything on the market so it felt like a risk, but defiantly paid off.

don't buy when you cant get service after sale. No part available at dealer not even engine oil or trans oil recommended by Fuso. Try to get territorial manager but never returned my call or leave message/ I think he was busy with so many complain and he was busted like their truck. i hope they go bankrupt made a big mistake now paying for it, ever never buy again and turn

I found that they're new 2014/2015 models have gotten a lot better. Their transmissions have minimal problems for a light duty truck and are out of the shop a lot longer than the previous models for example 2011-2013. I would recommend going for a test drive in a newer unit just to see the difference in the new powertrain.

Heard some things about the Fuso that set me back on purchasing. I own a 2011 which has been okay, purchased a 2015 and its a whole different machine. Better power, more responsive and absolutly no transmission issues. YET. Keeping my fingers crossed, but you can definatly tell even the transmission seems smoother and runs cooler.

I own 28 trucks of various sizes, 10 of which are Fuso's. The first 6 I bought were all 2008 or earlier FG140's which have held up alright. The last 4 I bought have all been lemons. One problem after another. Two FE 180's and two FE 160's. Impossible to keep all four on the road at once. Full engine replacement on two of them. Oil overfilling all the time. DPF problems. You name it. I will never buy another FUSO!

2012 FE160 Waiting on third transmission,def system replaced twice, repaired several times and warning light has just come on again. Engine has had three injectors replaced as well as several other issues. Truck towed to dealership more than six times and total down time do to repairs more than four months in two years.It's hard to believe that it is so difficult to hold companies like this to account.

We had more problems than ever with the fuso .regen turbo every time .got to look after your customers. we need a better truck or give money back.device at universal truck is great but shouldn't need to be broke down .12 times in 9 months..

I purchased a Mitsubishi Fuso Canter in October of 2011 BIGGEST mistake of my life. I owned this truck for 28 months and during that time it was broke down or in the shop for over 3 months time. I had no choice but to sell it .I had to take a 27,000.00 loss on the pile of @#@#. This was the most undependable truck I have ever owned. I was told by my dealer that if its mechanical, it will break down ........Three months worth!!!!! This truck was broke down more than all the vehicles I have owned in my liftime and I'm in my fiftys.DO NOT BUY ONE OF THESE TRUCKS!!!!!!!!

Mitsubishi CanterI bought this 7.5 ton truck 18 months ago new it has broken down so many times it has only done 5400 miles I had it repaired last week at the Mercedes dealership Bristol cost as they came up with some ---- that it had broken down because it had not had its oil changed ? but it had I ended up with a bill for £1034 told that I needed to give it a run well there is a joke .I have taken it out twice now only 50 miles at a time on the second drive it broke down again just the same as the last time flashing amber light and red engine light drives at 10 miles per hour when I called city west and asked them for my money back they just said I had to write them a letter this truck cost me £28 k its the biggest load of chinese ---- going and sold by City West commercials at Avon Mouth This is a badge for Mercedes as they sell it as there own but can not repair it
