KME Predator Panther Chassis

KME’s Predator chassis was developed by working closely with departments across the nation to provide safety, ergonomics, reliability, ease of maintenance, and a wide range of options. The Panther was designed for fire departments that want the benefits and numerous options available with a custom cab and chassis, but still have to deal with budgetary constraints.

Great Value:

KME created the Panther to offer the fire service a full featured value. Utilizing the same engineering, crash testing, and substructure of our Predator chassis, the Panther’s doesn’t cut any corners in safety or reliability. A low doghouse increases driver to officer visibility and since the doghouse is also 10” shorter, there’s more room in the rear crew area as well.
