The Fuso Canter FG4X4 is a small truck front that is capable of having an additional body element placed on the rear of the vehicle. This is the trucking industry's only four wheel drive cab, which is what makes it such a desirable vehicle. Because the Fuso Canter FG4X4 is four wheel drive, it makes it that much easier to drive off road and to other locations where other, larger commercial trucks simply are not able to make it to. The heavy-duty axel makes it easier to transfer more supplies at the same time. So, when the terrain is less than desirable and drivers are looking for a way to transport material to locations through deep snow, bad weather and possibly off the beaten path, the FG4X4 is an exceptional option.

The vehicle itself weighs a total of 14,050 pounds with the ability to have another 7,000 pounds added to the rear of the vehicle for towing purposes on the body of the truck. The curb weight base model though weighs in at just under 6,000 pounds, which is the front end of the truck. The rear bed of the truck weighs in at just slightly under 9,500 pounds.

The Fuso Canter FG4X4 has a four cylinder ...
... engine with four stroke cycle and is water cooled. The engine is turbocharged and an intercooled diesel that has four valves per cylinder. It offers 161 horsepower at 295 pound feet of torque, which gives it some of the extra power it needs in order to move through the bad weather and poor road conditions. With this sort of vehicle, the torque is far more important than the horsepower or the size of the engine, as this is the power it uses in order to push through the difficult conditions on the road.

The Fuso Canter FG4X4 uses a six speed automatic transmission with transfer case while the vehicle is able to reach a top speed of 86 miles per hour. The Fuso Canter FG4X4 is not about speed in its transportation methods but more about being able to handle the difficult road conditions carefully. In this instance, the most important elements of the truck come down to the torque and the four wheel drive. The truck has laminated leaf springs with shock absorbers for both the front and rear suspension, plus drum vacuum hydraulic breaks with anti-lock brakes while driving. When the vehicle is parked, it uses a drum driveline with internal expanding shoe breaks, and then the exhaust features are electrically activated.

The fuel tank size is a large 33 gallon tank on the left side of the vehicle. There is also a DEF tank available on the right side of the vehicle with 3.2 gallons for reserve. The Fuso Canter FG4X4 has power windows and one-touch up and down driver's window for easy operating. There is a standard, programmable cruise control available on the Fuso Canter FG4X4, and there is also keyless entry with a driver assistant door lock control, built into the door for automatic locking. The FG4X4 has an optional clarion AM/FM radio that also plays CDs and can connect to a Bluetooth enabled device for hands free calling. The radio system is optional though as it does not come standard with the Fuso Canter FG4X4. Not all trucks are designed to go off road and transport goods and equipment to a needed location. The Fuso Canter FG4X4 is able to help with that.
