I personally own a 2007 Mitsubishi Fuso 4x4 that I intend to drive for many more years to come. It has a pre-emissions motor (no DEF, etc), manual transmission, solid axles, and a high-low transfer case. I can take it anywhere in the world - and actually get better service for it elsewhere than in the USA. ![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
The vehicle I would not own is the 3.0 ULSD with Duonic transmission. This was, IMHO, an abomination that is directly related to Mitsubishi exiting the US truck market.
EarthCruiser is selling their 4x4 converted Fuso with a Chevrolet drivetrain for the time being, and will be selling their 4x4 converted Chevy Low Cab Forward once the current stock of Fusos are exhausted. To me, this is like buying an E-350 converted to 4x4 (I own a UJOR version of this) - a great and capable choice, you just have to suck up the cost of the conversion. If you go to a dealer for service they might scratch their heads a bit at the mods, but they will still take care of you. On the few occasions I have taken my UJOR E-350 to a Ford dealership it was immediately surrounded by dealership employees looking at it and taking pictures, and they always put their best mechanic on it... I would suspect you would experience the same at the Chevy dealer with an EC conversion.
