The Mitsubishi FEA21 is a strong long-distance 10ft lorry: of the three brand-new diesel 10ft trucks ABLINK lists, it has the biggest tank (100L) and the longest warranty. Its listing has no unladen weight, though, and that figure decides whether a Class 3 driver may take it. Get the log-card weight of the exact unit first.
The listed range is 1,060km, and the warranty runs 5 years or 200,000km, whichever comes first.
This review covers what ABLINK lists for the FEA21, how it compares with the Hino Dutro and Isuzu NJR88, which licence it needs, what its 5,000kg rating means, and what to ask before you commit. You can see the current price and body options on the Mitsubishi FEA21 page.
What ABLINK lists for the Mitsubishi FEA21
On 25 October 2026, the FEA21 page lists the truck as brand new, 10ft, diesel. These are the figures ABLINK gives:
- Listed range: 1,060km. ABLINK's compare catalogue labels range figures as "listed range; test standard not stated", so treat it as a guide, not a promise.
- Fuel tank: 100L.
- Warranty: the longest of the three, as set out in the table below.
- Body options: open deck (included), hood, box or freezer box, with a tailgate as an add-on.
Three things are missing from ABLINK's compare catalogue entry: the unladen weight, the payload and the transmission. The catalogue says the payload "depends on the completed body configuration", and for the licence it says the class "cannot be checked" without the unladen weight. That is honest, and it is why this review spends time on the licence question.
The catalogue also gives a maximum laden weight of 5,000kg for the FEA21, but ABLINK marks that figure as not yet verified. We come back to what it means below.
Mitsubishi FEA21 vs Hino Dutro vs Isuzu NJR88
These are the three brand-new diesel 10ft trucks in ABLINK's catalogue. The table uses ABLINK's own listed figures from 25 October 2026. "Range per litre" is the listed range divided by the tank size, the same calculation the compare page uses.
| Listed figure | Mitsubishi FEA21 | Hino Dutro | Isuzu NJR88 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fuel tank | 100L | 60L | 60L |
| Listed range | 1,060km | 540km | 700km |
| Range per litre (range ÷ tank) | 10.6km | 9.0km | 11.7km |
| Warranty | 5 years or 200,000km | 3 years or 100,000km | 3 years or 100,000km |
| Unladen weight | not listed | 1,800kg (verified) | not listed |
| Maximum laden weight | 5,000kg (not yet verified) | 3,700kg (verified) | 5,000kg (not yet verified) |
| Licence class from listed weight | cannot be read yet | Class 3 / 3A | cannot be read yet |
Two readings matter. First, the FEA21's long range comes mostly from its tank. Per litre, its listed figures sit between the NJR88 and the Dutro, so the gain is fewer refuelling stops, not a thriftier engine on paper.
Second, the warranty is the clearest difference: 5 years against 3, and 200,000km against 100,000km. For a truck that covers long daily distances, that matters more than the range figure.
The Dutro is the only one of the three with a weight you can check today. You can open all three side by side on the ABLINK compare page.
Which licence does the Mitsubishi FEA21 need?
It depends on the unladen weight of the unit you buy, and ABLINK does not list it yet.
The rule itself is simple. The Singapore Police Force driving licence class list sets Class 3 for "motor tractors and other motor vehicles … the weight of which unladen does not exceed 2,500kg". Class 4 covers vehicles built to carry a load "the weight of which unladen exceeds 2,500kg".
Unladen weight is the weight of the truck when empty, as shown on its log card. The body counts. The log-card figure is for the truck as built, so the same chassis with a different body can come out at a different weight.
Three points follow for an FEA21 buyer:
- Class 3 or Class 4: if the log card shows 2,500kg or less, a Class 3 driver may drive it. Above 2,500kg, the driver needs Class 4.
- Class 3A means no clutch pedal. Class 3A covers the same vehicles "without clutch pedals". ABLINK's catalogue does not say whether the FEA21 unit is manual or automated, so ask. A Class 3A driver cannot take a truck with a clutch pedal, whatever its weight. Class 4P is the same split one class up.
- Class 3C does not cover it. Class 3C is for "motor cars" only, so a Class 3C licence does not let anyone drive a 10ft lorry.
A worked example shows how this plays out. Say a catering firm has three drivers: two hold Class 3 and one holds Class 3A. It wants an FEA21 with a freezer box.
Before ordering, it asks ABLINK for two things on the unit with that body fitted: the log-card unladen weight and whether there is a clutch pedal. If the weight comes back at 2,500kg or less and the truck has a clutch pedal, the two Class 3 drivers may drive it and the Class 3A driver may not. If the weight comes back above 2,500kg, none of the three may drive it until someone holds Class 4. Either answer is useful, and both come before the deposit, not after.
Our guide to unladen weight and the Class 3 limit shows where to find the figure on a log card and how fitted bodies change it.
The 5,000kg rating: 10ft lorry capacity and parking
A maximum laden weight of 5,000kg is the most the loaded truck may weigh. It is not the load it can carry.
The load is what is left after the truck's own weight, body included, and that is why ABLINK lists the FEA21's payload as depending on the completed body. A 5,000kg rating is easy to read as "carries 5 tonnes". It does not mean that.
For comparison, ABLINK's verified figures for the Hino Dutro are 1,800kg unladen and 3,700kg maximum laden, a gap of 1,900kg before you account for any change in body. The FEA21 cannot be worked out the same way until its unladen weight is known.
The rating also touches parking rules. The Land Transport Authority's overnight parking lodgement for heavy vehicles covers heavy goods vehicles rated at more than 5,000kg maximum laden weight. At 5,000kg, the FEA21 would sit on the line, not above it.
Because the figure is not yet verified, check the log card of the exact unit. Our VPC and 5,000kg guide explains the parking side in full.
Is the FEA21 a Mitsubishi Fuso Canter, and does the used FEA01 tell you its weight?
According to our Fuso Canter FEB21 vs FEB71 guide, the FEA21 is the 10ft member of the Canter line-up here, alongside the 14ft FEB21 and FEB71. The older 10ft Canter on ABLINK's marketplace carries a different code: the used listings are named "Mitsubishi Canter FEA01", such as this used 2016 FEA01.
It is tempting to borrow the FEA01's weight. On 25 October 2026, the two used FEA01 units in ABLINK's catalogue showed 1,760kg and 2,120kg unladen, both with a 3,500kg maximum laden weight. But the FEA21 is listed at 5,000kg maximum laden, a different rating. Because the rating differs, the FEA01 numbers are not a safe stand-in for the FEA21.
What the used listings do show is where 10ft lorries on ABLINK's marketplace fall. All 17 used 10ft lorries on ABLINK's marketplace that day listed an unladen weight, from 1,640kg to 2,280kg, all under the 2,500kg line. The marketplace lists units from more than one dealer, and these are stock-record figures to confirm against each log card. For the brand comparison between the Canter and the Toyota Dyna, see our Dyna vs Canter 10ft guide.
Who the FEA21 suits, and who should look elsewhere
The FEA21 makes sense when the truck runs long days and you value fewer fuel stops and a longer warranty. A 100L tank and the longer warranty are the two things on its listing that the other diesel 10ft trucks do not match.
Look elsewhere when:
- You need to know the licence class today. The Hino Dutro's 1,800kg unladen weight is verified, so it is a Class 3 or 3A truck on ABLINK's figures.
- Your team holds Class 3A only. Until you know whether the FEA21 unit has a clutch pedal, it may not fit them.
- Budget or delivery time is tight. A used 10ft from the marketplace comes with a listed weight and is listed as in stock, with whatever COE balance its listing shows.
What to ask ABLINK before you commit
Send these on WhatsApp from the FEA21 page and you will have what you need to decide:
- The unladen weight on the log card of the unit offered, with the body you want fitted.
- Manual or automated: does the unit have a clutch pedal? This decides Class 3 or 3A.
- The maximum laden weight on the log card, to confirm the 5,000kg figure for parking rules.
- Which body: open deck, hood, box or freezer box, and whether you need the tailgate.
- Delivery time and financing, which the FEA21 page says ABLINK answers on WhatsApp.
Buying, leasing or trading in
To buy, open the Mitsubishi FEA21 page and tap "Get today's best price". It opens a WhatsApp chat with ABLINK, where you can ask the questions above. Any loan is subject to approval.
If you would rather not own a Mitsubishi FEA21 outright, ABLINK's commercial vehicle leasing page covers lorries on short-term or long-term packages through its leasing partner; ask there which 10ft trucks are on offer. If you have an old lorry to replace, ABLINK also buys vehicles: see how to sell your lorry as a trade-in.
FAQ
Can Class 3 drive a lorry like the Mitsubishi FEA21?
Only if the unit's unladen weight on its log card is 2,500kg or less, which is the Class 3 limit in the Singapore Police Force class list. ABLINK's catalogue does not list the FEA21's unladen weight yet, so ask for the log-card figure of the exact unit with its body fitted. If the unit has a clutch pedal, a Class 3A licence will not cover it.
Can a Class 3C licence drive a 10ft lorry?
No. In the Singapore Police Force class list, Class 3C covers motor cars only: cars of up to 3,000kg unladen with no more than seven passengers. A 10ft lorry is a goods vehicle, so the driver needs Class 3 or 3A when its unladen weight is 2,500kg or less, and Class 4 or 4P above that.
Does a 5,000kg maximum laden weight mean the FEA21 carries 5 tonnes?
No. The maximum laden weight is the most the loaded truck may weigh, including the truck itself and its body. The load it can carry is that figure minus the unladen weight. ABLINK lists the FEA21's payload as depending on the completed body, and its 5,000kg rating as not yet verified, so ask for both log-card weights before you plan loads.
How does the FEA21's warranty compare with the Hino Dutro and Isuzu NJR88?
ABLINK lists the Mitsubishi FEA21 with a vehicle warranty of 5 years or 200,000km, whichever comes first. The Hino Dutro and Isuzu NJR88 both list 3 years or 100,000km. For a truck that covers long daily distances, the extra cover is one of the clearest reasons to shortlist the FEA21. Ask ABLINK what the warranty covers for the unit and body you choose.
Figures are ABLINK's listed figures as of 25 October 2026 and may change; confirm them with ABLINK for the Mitsubishi FEA21 unit you buy. Prices are on the linked ABLINK pages. Licence and parking rules are from the Singapore Police Force and the Land Transport Authority; financing is subject to lender approval.
