Since 1982, the Compact models have been equipped with MAN six-cylinder engines, and Schlüter’s own engine production has focused on larger size classes. The engines were big six-cylinder units, and the model designation “V” stood for four-wheel drive. The transmission was still ZF’s 12+6 range-and-direction gearbox, but from 1983 onward the top gear could no longer be selected in reverse. A torque converter remained an optional extra. In 1986 the 50 km/h versions were introduced.

On the four-wheel drive models, the front axle was fitted with separate disc brakes. Instead of the push-rod sensing system, a pull-rod sensing system became available as an alternative. The cab was also offered in a lower Mini-Cab version. The noise level in the cab was 80 dB.

In 1988 a hydraulic quick-shift gearbox became an optional extra. Models equipped with it had a longer wheelbase. The standard models also switched to the longer wheelbase in 1990.
