2007 Mitsubishi Fuso Canter 4×4

This thing is amazing! These turbodiesel-powered Mitsubishi Fuso Canter trucks are incredibly robust, as they were primarily designed for industrial use. They also make great off-roaders, and they’re frequently used as overlanders in other parts of the world. This one has been given a full off-grid camper conversion – and one of the really neat features is a removable living unit, so you can post base camp while continuing to explore further into the wilderness! Other benefits include custom cabinetry, two beds that sleep three people, a toilet and shower, solar power, and more. This Fuso also comes equipped with 4-wheel drive, a 5-speed manual transmission, and manually-locking front hubs.

2007 Mitsubishi Fuso Canter 4×4, finished in Arcadia Silver with a blue interior.

This Fuso is equipped with a 5-speed manual transmission.
Factory equipment includes front and rear solid axles, a limited-slip rear differential, a leaf spring suspension system, anti-lock brakes, cloth upholstery, power front windows and locks, air conditioning, and vinyl cab flooring.
A partial list of modifications reported by the seller includes 19.5-inch Rickson “Super Single” wheels, a large exterior storage compartment, a fold-down aluminum porch platform, a wet room with toilet and shower, LED cabin lighting, a sink, refrigerator, and cooktop.
Featuring a cab forward design and a stout turbodiesel engine, the Fuso Canter is a highly-versatile platform that can be utilized in near-limitless configurations. A number of them have been imported to the U.S. over the years and they can frequently be seen putting in serious work as haulers, snow plows, and even rental trucks. They’re also prized overseas as capable campers and overlanders.
Power comes from a 4.9-liter turbodiesel inline-4, rated at approximately 147 horsepower and 347 lb-ft of torque. Output is sent to the rear or all four wheels through a 5-speed manual transmission, a 2-speed transfer case, and manually-locking front hubs.
