Sometimes budgets won’t allow you to spec anything beyond what is
absolutely needed. But that’s no reason to settle for anything less, either.
Contender® DX tankers are the logical solutions. Because they’re Contenders®
by Pierce, you already know no compromises are made. But what you probably
don’t know is that they’re available for immediate delivery and carry a very
attractive price.
You want a fire truck that’s ready to go, and one that has years of
getting it done built into every feature. You want simple operation. You
want the options you need to get the job done. And you never compromise on
quality because your community demands nothing less.

| The Contender DX tanker offers the new Pierce exclusive 10"
directional dump valve/chute assembly that offers more than a 1600 gpm
flow — no more worrying about what direction you’re facing when pulling
up to the scene. With a low center of gravity (reducing side rolls), the
DX tanker allows pump and roll, and is extremely stable — proven up to
28 degrees static side slope on a tilt table.
The DX tanker comes with compartments ahead of the rear axle(s) on
both sides, has a 5-year limited warranty on the PTO and portable pumps,
and a 360 hp engine. The tank, designed specifically for Contender, is
constructed of polypropylene with a water compartment baffling system
that reduces
the surges that can destabilize your vehicle.
