After the introduction of the 8050 series, the 8400 was retained in production, but it received a few reforms. Lift force was increased by 7 to a ton.

The increase in torque was 31% instead of the previous 16%. As standard equipment fire e.g. beefier industrial front axle, bigger tires and longer trailing arms.
In the spring of 2002, the power was further increased to 160 horsepower and became standard equipment came millirings. The engine now had a visco fan. 8400 was also received now as a long wheelbase version. The 8400 was discontinued only after the T Classic models after the presentation.
