Freightliner Trucks has introduced several new options for its medium-duty and severe-duty truck models. (Freightliner 122SD Tractor is pictured above.)

“We are dedicated to providing our vocational customers with a breadth of options that contribute to durability and benefit on-the-job performance,” said Mary Aufdemberg, director of product marketing for Freightliner Trucks.

The new options include:

• Hood mounted mirrors for the 108SD and 114SD: Ideal for plow applications, the new bell-shaped, hood-mounted mirrors are available heated or non-heated, and feature a tripod-style mirror base.
• A new rock guard for 108SD and 114SD: Designed for the harsh environments found in severe-duty applications such as dump, plow and mixer, the rock guard protects the exposed region of the radiator between the grille and bumper.
• Remote start/stop for the M2 106, M2 112, 108SD and 114SD with manual transmissions to benefit fuel economy and performance.



• Watson & Chalin lift axle suspensions are now available on all Freightliner severe-duty truck models. Designed for use with single tires, the Watson & Chalin Lift Axle Suspensions offer proven durability and exceptional maneuverability, and can quickly change ride height.
• Hendrickson AeroClad 12-in. logger style bumper: Available for the 122SD, the lightweight chrome bumper has cutouts for a center tow, driving lights and fog lights.
