Stood in the quarry environment, the looks and styling of the Trakker leave no doubt about its intended home: it looks robust, capable and at home. This test vehicle was also fitted with the optional sump guard. From the driver's seat, the theme continues, with the easy cleaned interior and solid feeling switches and clear instrumentation.
We quickly found we could store our paperwork and personal protective equipment around the cab without havng to resort to using the footwell.
On the quarry's rough and sometimes soft surfaces the Trakker felt sure-footed and the diff lock was needed only on the very softest part. On the tarmac roads, the 8-litre engine worked to keep us moving at a steady pace, and on the hill climb the engine operating temperature rose quickly before the cooling fans efficiently bought it back down to more usual operating temperatures.
On the downhill sections the Iveco turbo brake needed occasional help from the foot brakes to keep the vehicle's speed in check.
The Eurotronic 12-speed automatic gearbox coped well, matching the requests from our right foot to the correct gear most of the time.
But we did manage to make it stop and think on a couple of occasions when having slowed for a junction, we wanted to accelerate away without actually stopping.
Both times it attempted to pull away in too high a gear leaving the engine to labour and took a couple of seconds to rectify itself.
With onand off-road work in this vehicle's role, it was extremely comfortable to drive in both situations, and the only noticeable noise from Inside the cabin was when the Cursor engine had to work a little harder on the longer uphill sections The robust and capable looks of the Trakker are equally matched by its on and off-road driving abilities.
