The company's Driver First focus has concentrated many of the changes on the engine and cab. A heavy duty, double-sided galvanized steel cab provides for long-term durability. The redesigned cab doors giving the driver a single large piece of glass to look through, greatly improving side visibility and reducing blind spots. By reshaping the doors and side glass, the position of the optional pedestal mirrors was optimized so drivers turn their heads 15% less on the left side and 5% less on the passenger side, making it easier to keep their eyes on the road while reducing neck strain over the long haul. A new dash is designed for the driver with more space for additional rocker switches. An optional premium gauge cluster is designed with driver input and it is customizable with virtual gauges. In addition, an easy-access column-mounted stalk shifter is integrated with engine braking to help keep hands on the wheel and eyes on the road. The dash contains space for up to 30 customizable switches ensuring functionality of any type of body that is mounted on the back.
A clean Cab-to-Axle (CA) configuration minimizes costly post-production modifications while a 20,000-lb. offset bowl front drive axle allows for a lower ride height than a traditional center bowl. Super Single 1/2-in.-thick fame rails are rated up to 3.35M RBM and integral 20 -n. and 27 -in. frame extensions (not bolt-on) for greater strength and reliability.
An available stainless-steel oil pan reduces corrosion in highly corrosive applications while an industry-standard J1939 electrical system architecture and improved harnessing to maximize uptime. Al new HVAC system, designed for reliability, now includes a high-performance MAX defrost feature.
