Our Review: Mitsubishi FUSO Canter Trucks
At Jack Cotterill Tree Services, we know that the right vehicle makes all the difference. Whether we’re heading into tight residential streets, hauling heavy equipment between jobs, or spending long days on the road, reliability and comfort are essential. That’s why, six months ago, we made the decision to add three brand-new Mitsubishi FUSO Canter trucks to our fleet — and so far, they’ve genuinely impressed us across the board.
Reliability You Can Count On
In our line of work, breakdowns aren’t just inconvenient — they can cost time, money, and reputation. Since day one, the Mitsubishi FUSO Canters have proven themselves as dependable partners.
From early-morning starts to long pull-outs on rural lanes, these trucks have delivered consistent performance with minimal maintenance issues. Even under heavy loads and varied terrain, we’ve experienced exceptional dependability.
Eco-Friendly Performance
Sustainability matters to us as much as it matters to our customers. We have read up about the truck’s noticeably lower emissions and excellent fuel economy and feel confident that we are reducing our environmental impact without sacrificing power or performance.
It’s a win-win: we run a modern, responsible tree care business, and we can move confidently toward a greener future — starting with the vehicles that drive our work.
Compact Size, Maximum Accessibility
One of the standout benefits of the Mitsubishi FUSO Canter is its compact but capable design. Despite offering all the power and load capacity we need, the Canter’s smaller footprint makes it far easier to navigate tight roads, cul-de-sacs, and busy urban areas — not always exactly easy terrain for larger vehicles.
For a tree service company that frequently works in residential streets or challenging access points, that agility is priceless.
Smart, Professional Look
We believe presentation matters — and the Canters certainly deliver on this front. These trucks look smart, modern, and professional, helping reinforce our brand every time we arrive on site. They were easily personalised with our business branding and logo.
We have had positive comments from our customers who have noted the polished & smart look of the vehicles. No unsightly vehicles here!
Comfort & Mod-Cons That Make a Difference
Long days behind the wheel are far more tolerable when the cab is comfortable — and in that respect, the Canter really shines. Features we’ve come to appreciate include:
Ample storage space — everything from paperwork to tools has its place
Reliable air-conditioning — a must during summer jobs
Comfortable seating and cabin ergonomics — ideal for long drives between work sites
These perks might seem small individually, but together they elevate the daily experience of driving and working, keeping our team fresh, organised, and focused.
Final Thoughts
After six months with our Mitsubishi FUSO Canter trucks, it’s clear that they were an excellent addition to the Jack Cotterill Tree Services fleet. From day-to-day reliability and eco-friendly performance to thoughtful design and on-road comfort, these vehicles have not only met but exceeded our expectations.
We’re proud to be running them, and we’re excited to see how they continue to support our work in the months and years ahead.
