The FE125 will be powered by the Mitsubishi 4M50 dual-overhead-cam, 4.9L (299 cu. in.) turbocharged, intercooled diesel engine, producing 185 hp @2,700 rpm and 391 lb.-ft. of torque @ 1600 rpm. Brakes are power-assisted, hydraulic dual-caliper disc types at all four wheels, with ABS standard.

Amenities include power windows and door locks, cloth fabric seats, and ‘wet-arm’ three-speed wipers, and high-visibility halogen headlamps. Noise-reducing high-mount air intake snorkel, tilt/telescoping steering wheel adjustment, a fully adjustable driver’s seat, adjustable driver’s arm rest, and seat back help to improve driver comfort and reduce road fatigue. Seat backs on the assistant and passenger seats also adjust for angle and fold flat to provide a work surface for owner/operators.
