A very good line of commercial trucks is the Mitsubishi Fuso Trucks which are reliable and efficient, according to the drivers who use them. Mitsubishi Fuso may not be a name that you hear all the time, but these medium to light duty trucks have been available since the 60′s and have established a good reputation among truck drivers. At present time, you may usually distinguish a Fuso by the Canter badge seen at the front or by the Mitsubishi badge that is usually found at the rear of the truck.
Since you are looking for a light duty truck for your small business in Houston, it is recommended that you choose the Mitsubishi Fuso Canter. This is a lighter duty commercial vehicle being sold here in the US and other parts of the world including Japan, other Asian countries, Europe and Middle East.
Most truck drivers usually prefer the line of Mitsubishi Fuso trucks as it gives the ideal options for people looking for a medium to light duty commercial vehicle. The manufacturers produce about 15,000 new truck units every year and so far, there have been 100,000 sold by Mitsubishi dealers. Mitsubishi Fuso trucks feature high production superior standards that are approved by ISO standards and if merged with a test track and a highly comprehensive final examination for quality, it is truly no surprise that these trucks are one of the most commonly sought after trucks for light duty operation. You can also find used Mitsubishi Fuso trucks from Mitsubishi dealers, and you can buy them at extremely affordable prices.
Mitsubishi Galant Houston Texas
Reader’s Question:
I’ve seen Hondas & Toyotas. I’d like to see if the Galant can meet my requirement as a value-for-money sedan here in Texas. What can you tell me about it?
Todd
Houston, TX
Hey there, Todd! If you’re in the market for a value-for-money sedan, then the 2009 Galant could be a good choice for you. I will suggest that you test drive one once you visit your Mitsubishi dealer there in Texas. Although it may not look much compared to Acuras and Lexus models, the Galant is a very practical car to drive. After all, Mitsubishi’s rally-bred cars are always fun to drive and usually packed with some “oomph” once you press on the accelerator.
If you are someone who regularly drives people around, rest easy because the Galant can seat 5 people comfortably. Either you pack in the family or your friends for a ride around town, the Galant can ably do that. You can ably do that with a choice from 4 trims. The ES and Sport Edition (SE) both come with a 2.4 Liter MIVEC engine with 160 hp performance. The V6 trims are the Sport V6, with 230 hp and Ralliart with about 258 horsepower. Mitsubishi also took care of passenger comfort by providing automatic climate controlled air-conditioning and cruise control as standards. For safety, all trims have Anti-lock brakes and electronic brakeforce distribution, and front airbags, side-impact air bags and even side curtain airbags. That’s like being engulfed by airbags once you get into an accident.
Mitsubishi Endeavor Houston Texas
Reader’s Question:
The Mitsubishi Endeavor, is it a car or an SUV? Whatever it is, can you give me some pointers before I go to my Mitsubishi dealer here in Texas?
Morgan
Houston, TX
The Mitsubishi Endeavor is a car or SUV…make that crossover worth testing out, Morgan. I’m sure that the looks and power or overall performance will satisfy your needs in Texas.
You can like the Endeavor by looking at it in several angles. In terms of power and utility, the two trims of the Endeavor, the LS and SE, are both powered by a 3.8 Liter V6 that generates about 225 horsepower and about 265 lb-ft of torque. With this kind of muscle, you can haul some more gear and people on weekend out of town trips. There are options to go either front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive depending on what you’d like to come with your Endeavor. My choice is to go with the all-wheel drive and my reason follows. In terms of handling, since the Endeavor is a crossover, it is a given that it can handle like a car. Mitsubishi made sure of that by providing stability control system to its all-wheel drive models. Once we talk of safety, the Endeavor comes equipped with Anti-lock brakes with electronic brakeforce distribution, front airbags and front and rear curtain airbags. It even has a 5-star rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
Mitsubishi Endeavor Texas TX
Reader’s Question:
Are there crossovers/SUVs from Mitsubishi? I am interested in one and would like to see, and possibly drive one here in Houston, Texas.
Lloyd
Houston, TX
Hello, Lloyd, it’s good that you asked about this. In terms of off-road performance, Mitsubishi’s Endeavor had been a winning performer in Paris-Dakar rallies. You’ll be guaranteed a good vehicle that can take the action from the pavement to camping trails. I’ll be recommending a 2008 Mitsubishi Endeavor to you. I suggest you look at one in a Mitsubishi dealer in Texas.
First of all, remember this is a crossover, it’s designed to feel like a car but to an extent, take the punishment of an SUV. Although available in LS and SE trims, you got the same heart beating under the hood; a 3.8 liter V6 that pumps 225 horsepower at 5,000 rpm and 255 lb-ft of torque at 3,750 rpm. That is power to take on the city and wild. I’ll feel confident in taking this to the hardware store and to some of my weekend trips with the kids. With 60/40 seating at the rear, I can easily haul more gear if I want to. With no gear, the Endeavor can haul 5 people comfortably. To add to ease of driving, this crossover has Sportronic automatic transmission. No need to worry about changing gears when changing roads. And for safety, the Endeavor comes fully equipped with standard airbags plus curtain side airbags that greatly reduce the chance of driver and passenger injury in case of an accident.
Personally, I think that Mitsubishi’s got you well-covered with the Endeavor. Hope to see you in one, Lloyd.

Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution Houston Texas
Reader’s Question:
What’s great about the Lancer Evolution from Mitsubishi? I think I’d like to speed around Texas in one.
Noel
Houston, TX
Hey, Noel, get yourself in one and start zooming around Texas. So, what’s new? There are some adjustments to the engine, tinkering with the weight distribution, great power output below redline. Seats are awesome, too. You’ll definitely feel like a racer in one especially in those curves. Let’s expound on some few key features, so you’ll know that this is not just a Lancer with a nice body kit.
I guess it is going to be better to focus on the heart and soul of the Lancer Evolution. Let’s spell it out, M-I-V-E-C, MIVEC, or Mitsubishi’s Innovative Valve-timing Electronic Control system. This system is used in the 2.0 liter DOHC 16-valve inline 4 engine that uses the lightweight 4B11 engine design. Add some turbocharging and a little intercooling and voila! You get the core of the Lancer Evolution that flexes 291 hp at 6,500 rpm (7,000 rpm is the redline). Sweet, ain’t it? Now, imagine that in low-weight aluminum construction. Light enough? Now, replace the timing belt with a timing chain system and you get a low-vibration engine. Low vibration means doing away with the balance shaft, less weight, more on speed. Getting the picture?
Enough muscle, let’s go to driving one. You can either go for the 5-speed manual transmission on the GSR or go for an enhance 6-speed automatic transmission with the MR trim. With the MR, you also get steering wheel paddle-shifters for a greater racing feel, it shifts in milliseconds.
Either way, you add power and racing enhanced transmission to an awesome rally-bred suspension system and you’ll get sporty handling. That is the 2008 Lancer Evolution.
Noel, it’s time to speed off.
2009 Mitsubishi Lancer Houston
Reader’s Question:
A friend of mine told me that if I wanted a cool looking car, I should try going for a Lancer. I am about ready to give up on my dad’s 10-year old hand-me-down Ford. It’s time for the big league move here in good old Houston, Texas. Should I go with my friend’s advice?
Eric
Houston, TX
Hey, Eric, I think you’re friend is right. It is time to ditch the hand-me-down and look good in Houston, Texas. And it is time to get rid of some maintenance headaches. I bet you got a few things planned already for you and your Lancer.
But, hey, let me just say what is in store for my man, Eric. If you saw a lot of car movies that featured a lot of Asian-looking people, chances are, you know how much mod-ding you can do with the Mitsubishi Lancer. But first, my advice is, go with the base model for a 2009 Lancer and mod as you go. Enjoy the stock model first before tinkering with it. That way, you get to maximize the full-potential of the engine and the look of the car. By the way, if you’re really up to it. I suggest you go for a GTS or the Ralliart Lancer. Choices are between a 168 hp and 237 horsepower engines, the MIVECS engines have always been reliable. You can also check out the available options for the two models when you go to your Mitsubishi Houston dealer. Either way, with either the GTS or Ralliart, you get power and coolness in your future car. Whoo! I love the new Lancer.
2009 Mitsubishi Eclipse Houston Texas
Reader’s Question:
I think I’m ready to drive a new roadster in Houston, Texas again. Besides, my MX-5 could sure use some company in the garage. Would a 2009 Eclipse be a good big “baby bro” to my Mazda MX-5?
Vic
Houston, TX
Hello, Vic. I’d like to add that it’s a good thing you are keeping that MX-5 around. It is still one of the better vehicles that Mazda ever produced. Now, on to better things, let’s talk Mitsubishi. Mitsubishi has a long tradition of performance and design excellence. I think choosing the 2009 Eclipse would indeed be a great choice for your car’s “big bro” position.
The Eclipse has 2 trims, the GS and GT, both with MPI (multi-point injection) engines. Main difference between the two is their power plants. The GS trim keeps under its hood, a 16-valve Single Overhead Cam (SOHC) 2.4 Liter MIVECS engine while the GT has a 24-valve SOHC 3.8 Liter MIVECS engine. In terms of power, the GS cranks up about 162 hp at 6,000 revolutions per minute while the GT does 262 horsepower under 6,000 RPM. Redlines for both are at 6,500. That takes care of the muscle part, let’s talk looks. Personally, since you’re talking “roadster,” the logical choice for you should be the 2009 Eclipse Spyder GT. I loooove the 18 inch wheels on the on an Eclipse. There are also options for putting in a premium stereo system. Not only does the car look good, you’ll look awesome in it, too. Imagine you and the Eclipse Spyder in Houston, Texas. Great picture, isn’t it?
Interior Features Of 2007 Mitsubishi Eclipse
Reader’s Question:
I am supposed to visit a Mitsubishi Dealer in Houston, Texas and plans a 2007 Eclipse purchase. Could you possibly describe to me the interiors of the said car?
Vanessa
Houston, TX
My family owns a 2007 Mitsubishi Eclipse here in Houston, Texas and we all really love it. Especially when you jump in, you will feel the luxurious yet austere design. The dash extends across the cabin in a single piece of pleasantly finished plastic. Physically, it moves away from the front passenger as it nears the door, adding a perception of roominess. Yet the lower part of the right side dash subtly incorporates a knee bolster. The front airbag supplemental inhibition is masked by a seamless surface. The Stereo and the climate control dials are finger friendly and easy to operate. The 140-watt, six-speaker system that comes standard is not even a loll, and even saves a cubic foot or so that the premium system’s 10-inch subwoofer occupies in the cargo area. The handbrake is positioned on the correct spot which is on the driver’s side of the center console next to the shift lever. A pair of cup holder is located on the right side.
Indeed I could not ask for more with the comfort that I get from the 2007 Eclipse from Mitsubishi. We were also able to get a reliable auto insurance to come with it from this site. They have free quotations and you get fast answers to your queries.
2007 Mitsubishi Outlander Houston Texas
Reader’s Question:
I’ve heard that the Mitsubishi Outlander was introduced in 2001 here in Houston, Texas. What difference or upgrades that the 2007 model has compared to the earlier version?
Nathan
Houston, TX
As compared to the older version of Mitsubishi Outlander, the 2007 model is much larger. All of its 2007 Mitsubishi Outlander models (ES, LS and XLS) are equipped with a 3.0 liter V6 engine, which can produce 220 horsepower and 6,250 revs per minute. It has a 6 speed automatic transmission which operates smoothly as that of the Ford window motor. One of its remarkable features would be the Sportronic Technology which allows manual gear changes.
The 2007 Mitsubishi Outlander is also equipped with the Reinforced Safety Evolution chassis which gives it the attribute of a rally car. The chassis has a rigid unibody structure which allows the Mcpherson struts to run smoothly for independent multi link suspension of the rear. What gives it the rally car like performance is the steering and suspension system with the all wheel drive option. And because of these remarkable features, driving the 2007 Mitsubishi Outlander in the rough terrains of Houston is such a breeze. Plus, it also allows tight cornering on city streets.
2006 Mitsubishi Raider Houston Texas
Reader’s Question:
I am a mobile worker here in Houston, Texas and looking forward to have a 2006 Mitsubishi Raider. How would you compare it against its so called cousin Dodge Dakota?
Alex
Houston, TX
It is a common sight here in Houston, Texas to see a Dodge Dakota being driven along the freeways. But if you stop a while and scrutinize the vehicle, the triad logo in the center of the grille, you will find out that it is not a Dodge Dakota but a Mitsubishi Raider. That’s a common scenario most people look up at the Mitsubishi Raider. There’s a long history on why this came to be. Bottom line is, there are still significant differences between the models that gives the Raider a uniqueness all of its own.
So, what keeps the Raider unique from its so called “cousin”? One exceptional feat is the price. You can find it cheaper to buy the Raider from around $19,000. The truck comes with either a 210 hp V6 or a beefy 230 hp V8. The V8 is very much appealing to those who tow as its pulling capacity is a respectable 6500 lbs.
The Raider is available as either a 4×4 or a 4×2 and with four door or even 2 door cab configurations. It can seat to as many as 6 passengers. Looking inside, the Raider comes with trim features more of that a sedan than with a pick up. Sirius satellite radios boosted with Alpine speakers, heated leather surfaces for the front and bucket seats compliments driving pleasure especially for long journeys.
