New 2014 model year Fuso Canter FE and FG Series medium-duty trucks from Mitsubishi Fuso Truck of America, Inc. (MFTA) feature several new options. In addition, the company expects its 2014 model year Canters to meet EPA GHG standards beginning in April 2013, two years ahead of the regulatory compliance mandate.

For the 2014 Class 3 Canter FE125, MFTA is offering a longer 169.3-in. wheelbase to allow the use of bodies up to 20 ft. long. The model has a GVWR of 12,500 lbs. and a body/payload capacity of 7,095 lbs., which according to the OEM makes it suitable for high-bulk applications like furniture delivery.

Also new for 2014 on the MFTA Canter FE Series is an optional side-mounted fuel tank, which can be specified to replace the standard rear, in-frame tank on any model with a wheelbase of 133.9 in. or longer. This option, the company notes, is suited to delivery trucks that require tuck-under liftgates or for rollback or stinger type auto recovery applications.

A Clarion Bluetooth radio is now an option on 2014 Fuso Canter trucks as well.
