General 2007 Iveco Trakker dumper reviews for Uganda

As you might expect, that 371 mm of ground clearance means entering and exiting this vehicle can be considered a small adventure. Thankfully, the Trakker was fitted with a helpful set of ergonomic steps to make ingress and egress less intimidating. However, it’s still a serious clamber up into the cabin.

Climb inside and you’ll find a lot of resemblances with the Stralis. Luckily this is not a bad thing, as we loved the ergonomy of its serene sibling. The materials and trim are robust and we also like the overall ergonomy of the cabin. Even if the Trakker doesn’t feature the practical wrap around dash of the Renault Premium, most of the controls and switches are still within easy reach.

The Active Day cab is pretty roomy and there’s plenty of storage space behind both seats. There are also more cubby holes above the windscreen. Passenger room is rather extravagant, with front seat room more than ample for putting two or even three passengers up front with the optional middle seat available.

We’re also happy to find that the Trakker has also borrowed those sporty designed seats from the Stralis. They have a wide range of adjustments and offer a great support making you feel relaxed even after a full day spent behind the truck’s steering wheel. The high driving position and the flat nose gives you a great road visibility. Moreover, we also like the positioning and lens size of all the rear view and kerbside mirrors.

Looking at ride and handling, steel parabolic and multileaf road springs are carry over as is the light duty on/off road air suspension used on 6x4 and 8x4 models. A new air suspension system for heavier duty off road applications is also available in combination with the Iveco hub-reduction axle bogie for 6x4 and 8x4 applications. Suspension anti-roll stabilisers are available to suit a wide range of centre of mass heights to ensure a high degree of vehicle stability even for arduous off-road conditions.

Thanks to these configurations, which are derived from on road vehicles, the Trakker’s ride is pretty good and absorbs most of the bumps without too much drama. Moreover, a pneumatic suspension is also available for the long-cab AT tractors.

The cab over axle configuration gives it a great steering which moves those big wheels almost effortless and also gives you a decent road feedback. It’s worth to be mentioned that the power assisted steering has a great lock for a rigid truck.

Our Verdict

The previous generation Trakker was already a reliable and heavy duty truck, but the new model moves this heritage further with a lot of useful upgrades. Even if it’s not at the same level with Mercedes or Renault, the Italian truck is not far behind and is still solidly built while its robust chassis and suspension are able to go head to head with the most demanding conditions.

The Trakker range is also very wide and will be easy to find a vehicle that is the best suited for your needs. Moreover, the Cursor range of engines are among the most efficient units in the segment, and this is one of the most important strengths of the Trakker as the construction companies often have to transport large quantities of materials and this can be an economical nightmare.
