StarRaider
Overview
The StarRaider is a brand-new model developed specifically for off-road use. It's ideal for customers seeking an alternative to our larger models, especially one with a reduced visual profile, sound signature, and greatly increased fuel economy. Its compact dimensions, short overhangs, and featherweight mass grant it superior handling characteristics on multiple types of surfaces. It features a space-frame chassis, long-travel fully independent suspension, MegaDrive 4x4 with manual lockers, 5-speed manual transmission, and a 660cc turbocharged engine.
Unlike other side-by-side off-road vehicles, the StarRaider retains a front mid-engine longitudinal layout, allowing for a conventional trunk design in addition to the open-top bed above it. With a payload of 770kg, the StarRaider can very well punch above its weight class. Front and rear pushbars come standard and are mounted directly to the chassis, allowing for obstacles to be safely pushed out of the way. A rollcage comes standard, providing superior rollover protection and also allowing for a canopy to be fixed over to protect against the elements.
Among the list of available options is an improved front bullbar from Comet-Bar Industries [ @That-S-cop
] which offers increased protection around the headlight areas, a skidplate, front-mounted tow hooks, and auxiliary lights for situations with especially poor visibility. Whether it's in the marshes, the tundras, the deserts, or war-torn streets, the StarRaider never fails to deliver outstanding performance.

StarCruiser Classic
Overview
The StarCruiser has reigned as our longest-running and longest-lasting model for over 50 decades. Its legendary status goes without saying, as many examples of all ages can be found across the globe still in regular use. The "IV Series" is no different, still retaining its ladder frame chassis and coil-sprung suspension for consistent heavy-duty performance on mud, sand, snow, and any other type of surface thrown at it. For those who seek ultimate dependability and unfaltering reliability anywhere and anytime, the StarCruiser is the number one choice.
With the 2005 facelift, it now comes with halogen headlamps and more standard features such as air conditioning and central locking. Our signature MegaDrive 4x4 system comes standard on all models with front and rear lockers, but rear-wheel drive with a viscous limited-slip differential can also be ordered if necessary. A six-speed manual with high and low ranges is the default transmission choice, and a five-speed automatic is also available. Independent front suspension can also be optioned, allowing increased comfort and more ground clearance than a traditional solid axle unit. Powertrain options include a naturally-aspirated 3.5L 4V I6 producing 222 hp and 226 ft*lb, or two heavy-duty turbocharged variants; one with 260 hp and 312 ft*lb, and the other with 290 hp and 343 ft*lb.
The StarCruiser is not a jack of all trades; it's a master of all. Besides a five-door "wagon" bodystyle, it can also be ordered in a five-door "carrier" configuration with up to 13 seats instead of the typical 5 or 8 and a taller roof for increased passenger space. As pictured above, single or double cab utility variants are also offered with heavy-duty springs for increased towing and hauling performance. Optional equipment includes front tow hooks, hood deflectors, bug shields, push bars, auxiliary lighting, and snorkels for whenever fording through water is required. However you spec it, the StarCruiser is a staple of emergency, police, and military organizations across the globe built for every task you throw at it.

StarCarry
Overview
The venerable StarCarry series of utility and passenger vans returns after a complete redesign in 2007. Unlike previous generations, it now features partial unibody construction for vastly improved safety while also reducing overall mass. The cab-over design is retained for optimal visibility and maneuverability in tight spaces, while also permitting easier engine accessibility from inside.
Its revised chassis results in a low, flat floor that facilitates accessibility and loading/unloading cargo compared to the StarCruiser, which sits higher off the ground. A sliding door on both sides and a massive rear tailgate provide increased access for all shapes and sizes of
goods. A naturally-aspirated 2.5L 4V I4 making 144 hp and 162 lb*ft sends power through a six-speed manual or five-speed automatic transmission to the rear wheels, giving a fuel consumption of 27 mpg combined and hauling capabilities and longevity the StarCarry is renown for.
Like the StarCruiser, the StarCarry comes in numerous configurations to suit every need of every customer. The standard "Wagon" pictured above can comfortably and securely seat up to 15, while the "Convoy" panel van boasts an impressive payload of up to 1650kg and has a taller roof, allowing for more storage options. The "Rapid Response" ambulance configuration shown above has emergency lighting, an upgraded radio system, and an additional 125 Volt AC electrical system in addition to the standard 12 V DC electrical system to run supplementary medical equipment, which can come pre-installed or ordered separately. With a storied, proven record of longevity and capability, it's no wonder why the StarCarry is the number one choice for fleet and delivery companies.
