Mitsubishi Canter – the collective page for the Japanese cab-over truck built since 1963: four- to six-cylinder diesels, 2.97 to 4.95 litres, 66 to 132 kW, single and double cab up to 7.5 tonnes
This page gathers versions of the Mitsubishi Canter, the Japanese cab-over truck built since 1963 for light and medium distribution haulage. The name refers to the canter, the horse's smooth, easy gait, meant to underline the vehicle's steady driving manners. The Canter is built in Japan as well as at several plants abroad, in various cab widths and chassis lengths for box, flatbed and tipper bodies; the model designations in the register range from simple digit-letter combinations to the Double Cab for crews with extra seating.

The register lists 19 versions here with four- to six-cylinder engines of 2,970 to 4,948 cc displacement, unladen weights from 2,790 to 7,170 kg, gross weights from 3,500 to 7,500 kg, lengths from 5,050 to 8,600 mm and widths from 1,960 to 2,460 mm; for part of the models, outputs of 66 to 132 kW.
The Canter is among the best-selling trucks in its segment worldwide, competing with the Iveco Daily, the Isuzu N-Series and the Ford Transit chassis cab; it is common in distribution haulage, with trades businesses and municipalities, as well as a base for tipper and box bodies from smaller bodybuilders.
On a used example, rust on the frame and cab floor, the condition of the clutch and manual gearbox, on common-rail diesels the turbocharger and injectors, and the tightness of the body on box versions all count; on the double cab, the condition of the second row of seats and the load-bay partition too. Parts run through the Mitsubishi Fuso dealer network.
