Fighter

Drives So Well, You'll Forget it's a Truck

The all-new Fighter series strikes the rare balance between driving pleasure and the bottom line. With improved power, comfort, safety, style and performance they are sure to impress.

Key Features/ improvements over the 2006 ADR80/00 model include:

  • New Improved Styling. The new shape cab has a new headlight and grill configuration. The 3-diamonds device has been moved onto grill and is now silver instead of red.
  • The New Transom window (located in the passenger door) improves visibility by allowing the driver to see the curb.
  • Improvements have been made to the Fighter’s interior cab space. The New cab is roomier despite the external dimensions remaining unchanged.
  • A new air suspension seat (all Fighters) improves driver comfort.
  • Keyless entry – all Fighters now have remote central locking.
  • Cruise control is now included on the whole Fighter range.
  • All Fighters now fitted with ABS for improved safety.
  • New lower emission ADR80/02 engine.
  • Power and Torque has been improved for a large number of models across the range:
    • All Fighter 6.0 now use a 177kW/686Nm engine – previously limited to the high horsepower models.
      • 177kW/686Nm vs 145kW/575Nm (^22% / ^19.3%)
    • Fighter 8.0 is now fitted with 199kW/785Nm engine
      • 199kW/785Nm vs 177kW/686Nm (^12.4% / ^14.4%)
    • All Fighter 10.0 now use a 177kW/686Nm engine – previously limited to the high horsepower models.
      • 199kW/785Nm vs 177kW/686Nm (^12.4% / ^14.4%)
  • Fighter 7.0 and 8.0 are now fitted with Full Air brakes, rather than Air/Hydraulic brakes for improved braking performance… previously full air brakes were available on models with GVM’s of 16000kg + (from Fighter 10.0).
  • Selected Fighter 7.0 and all Fighter 8.0 now has air bag suspension for adjustable chassis height and to carry sensitive loads.
  • New 19.5” low profile tyre allows you to lower chassis height for easier loading/unloading or fit a body with increased roof height.
  • Fuel tank capacity has been increased on all models… with certain FM models receiving an increase of over 60%! (300L vs 185L.)

Fighter 6.0 can now be derated to 8,000kg GVM so it can be driven on a light duty rigid licence.

Other features include: air conditioning, power windows, CD player with AM/FM radio.
