FactIn October 1997 the Canter Guts' all-wheel drive went from on-demand with a crawler to a permanent system.
The sixth-generation Canter was launched in November 1993, with projector low beams on some models and Akebono twin-caliper ventilated front discs. A 4-tonne wide cab and 3.5-tonne standard cab were added in 1995, LPG and CNG versions in 1996–97, a 4G63 petrol Canter Guts in June 1997, and a direct-injection DOHC 4M50 diesel in October 1997.

Owning one
We don’t estimate running costs for a car like this. What it costs depends on its condition, its specialist and how it is driven, and an average would mislead.

The October 2020 facelift folded the old Canter Guts into the line as 1.5-ton Canter variants.
The Canter Eco-Hybrid paired a 150 hp diesel with a 40 kW motor-generator and a 2 kWh lithium-ion battery.
The 2002 Canter moved its gear lever to the dashboard, a world-first for cab-over trucks.
In October 1997 the Canter Guts' all-wheel drive went from on-demand with a crawler to a permanent system.
In June 1991 the Canter got ABS brakes, a first for its class in Japan, and power windows became standard on every one.
From the fourth-generation Canter on, Japan got wide-cab 2- and 3-ton variants alongside the narrow ones.
Rivals
Same body, same money, other badges — tap any card to flip.
When Mazda's E2000 — the truck that became the Titan — launched in January 1964, the factory was tasked with building 1,900 of them a month.
Swaraj Mazda built this truck under license in India from 1985, and the plant survived name changes all the way to SML Isuzu.
Indonesia built this pickup for 28 years with no successor, the last one leaving the Jakarta line in January 2019 after 324,960 units.
Suzuki's first-ever diesel engine, fitted to the Super Carry, is so small that it isn't able to power an air-conditioning system at all.
A right-hand-drive DJ-3A was built so postal drivers could reach roadside mailboxes without leaving the seat.
The Power Wagon name and civilian pickup design were derived directly from the WC-series military trucks Dodge built for World War II.
Suzuki kept the L20 Carry at the exact same 21 hp as its predecessor but still called it progress — the gain was a patented Cylinder Crank Injection lubrication system, not more power.
This generation of Titan quietly became the ancestor of two other trucks entirely: it was license-built by Kia as the Kia Titan in South Korea, and formed the basis of the Australian Ford Trader.
