However, after thousands of miles of testing it was found wanting
The 1C.. series engines fitted to 01T and C01T trucks were the 221cu 85hp engines. It's not surprising that the evaluations of this truck found it wanting! The 239cu 95hp Mercury engines appeared in the US in June '39 and while I don't know if they were readily available to the Canadians for series production, they certainly ought to have been able to acquire one for a pilot vehicle, particularly if the aim was to impress. Even with a 95hp engine the F60H would have been slow and cumbersome cross-country, but with an 85hp engine it would have been embarassing.
