Mitsubishi Fuso Adds New Model To Its 2006 Commercial Truck Lineup

In 2006, the new class 4 FE140 becomes Mitsubishi Fuso’s entry-level medium duty truck.

Logan Township, NJ, May 31, 2005 — The new FE140, a class 4 medium duty cabover with 14,050 lb., GVWR becomes the newest addition to Mitsubishi Fuso Truck of America’s (MFTA’s) 2006 fleet. The new model is competitively priced (even compared to some class 3 vehicles), yet it offers the same set of features and cab accommodations as its higher-GVWR siblings.

The FE140 is available in three wheelbase lengths, 114.6, 134.3, and 152.4 in., and can accommodate body sizes of 12, 14 and 16 ft. Front and rear axle ratings are 5,510 lb. and 9,880 lb. respectively, and maximum body-payload is 8,315 lb. A 33.1-in.-wide straight ladder frame makes body mounting easy, and frame rails made from 51,200 psi yield-strength steel with an RBM of 415,232 lb.-in. per rail ensure rugged reliability.

Turning diameter is a tight 35.1 ft., smaller than many two-seat sports cars, and both front and rear suspension feature stabilizer bars, for improved handling. With power steering, tilt/telescoping steering wheel, power windows and door locks, and a Mitsubishi Fuso exclusive dash-mounted shifter, this truck is exceptionally maneuverable and easy to drive. The cab is also spacious and comfortable inside, fully trimmed, and exceptionally quiet, to help reduce driver and crew fatigue.

The cab is available in five colors (Natural White, Arcadia Silver, Jupiter Green, Mars Red and Shannon Blue), with blue/gray cloth seats standard.

Powered by Mitsubishi Fuso’s workhorse dual-overhead-cam, turbocharged, intercooled diesel engine rated at 147 hp/347 lb-ft of torque with the standard 5-speed manual transmission and 175 hp/391 lb-ft of torque with the optional Aisin 6-speed automatic, the FE140 is perfect for landscaping, delivery, and contractor work trucks.

Exclusive 5-Year Limited Powertrain Warranty

As with all Mitsubishi Fuso commercial trucks, the FE140 comes standard with an exclusive 5-year limited powertrain warranty. For FE and FG models, including the FE140, the limited powertrain warranty covers all major driveline components for 5 years or 175,000 miles, whichever comes first. This warranty is in addition to the standard 3-year limited bumper-to-bumper warranty offered on all Mitsubishi Fuso medium-duty trucks. Buyers should see their local Mitsubishi Fuso dealer for details, limitations and exclusions.
