1991 MITSUBISHI CANTER FIRE TRUCK
Vehicle Description
Sold with a clean US title.
The Mitsubishi Fuso Canter is a true heavy duty 4x4. It features a cabover crew cab, 2-ton solid axles, and true 4WD with hi/lo ranges and manual locking hubs. We love importing these retired JDM fire trucks as they are always super low mileage and impeccably maintained. Compared to the Hiace and Atlas variants we usually bring in, this thing is an absolute BEAST! We imported a set of Australian Fuso Off-road "Super Single" wheels and slapped some 37" Maxis RAZR AT tires on it. Not only did that transform the look and give us a good amount of extra height, but it also helped bring the highway cruising speed into the mid-60's (mph) while keeping the rpms in the sub-3000 range. This Canter presents extremely well, is an excellent driver, and grabs everyones attention everywhere it goes. It's a bit of a climb to get in, but once you're in the cockpit, you can tackle the world. It was imported in January 2023 and is offered for your consideration.
