The Subaru Mini truck and the Mitsubishi Canter are both trucks that are tough, durable and are meant to last long. The Mitsubishi Canter, in particular, can carry very heavy payloads, well in excess of its capacity also. The Subaru mini truck too has a very high overload capacity. But if one is looking to buy either a used Subaru mini truck or a used Mitsubishi Canter, then it is necessary to delve deeper and compare their specifications.

Subaru Mini Truck

The Mitsubishi Canter is a two-passenger pick type of truck, but the driver cabin can be made single or double cab. It can be of 2 tons, 3 tons as well as 7.5 tons and some intermediate sizes also. The 3.5 ton variant can carry payloads of up to 1.5 tons, while the 7.5 version can withstand loads of 4.9 tons. The engines are very powerful, with torques varying from 295 Nm at 1800 rpm to 412 Nm at 1600 rpm for different capacities e.g. 3 liter, 3.9 liter etc. Additional specifications include RHD steering, manual transmission, 2 wheel drive and a 3600 Horsepower engine. It gives great steering maneuverability as well, but its greatest advantage is that it runs extremely well with reasonable pick up even at inclines or slopes while carrying full capacity loads.
