Dont know if this is old news, but I remember people saying it was a pity Mitsubishi dont sell the Canter Fuso in a 4x4 version in the UK, well...apparently they do -

Wants a dual wheel rear axle. Wonder how much?

[Peter]

Too much. I'll wait for a nice second hand one in about 5 years time.

I've always found dual rear wheel crap off road, better with single, more ground pressure.

Complete opposite imo mate, dual wheels all the way! better off road, better stability whilst loaded, better weight carrier..

 

I like those 4x4 Canters saw them in Oz

[Mr Ed]

Maybe, but single rear wheel is crap for carrying weight.

They are ok for carrying weight Lee, but dual wheels off road are not as good, simply down to physics.

 

You are sharing ground contact pressure between two wheels instead of one.

 

My landrover was shite off road with wide tyres, I put narrow ones on and off road ability improves immeasurably

[Mr Ed]

With a heavy load on board, single tyres will flex nastily, giving 'interesting' handleing.

I see the logic pecon, but why dont bulldozers uses skinny tracks then?

 

For a lot of tree surgeons i know the idea of a 4x4 canter sounds good, not so much for it's 4x4 capabilities but for the low box and diff lock, which is why so many tree surgeons use landys and the big 12 ft high sided Ifor trailers
