And that new
suspension cushions jars and
road shock that used to Epell
slow death for sheet metal.
More comfortable cabs!
Easier to hop in and oat of too.
Many models are a whole 7 inches
lower outside. Yet there's more
head room inside, plus more
width for shoulders and hips.
Big in the power department!
With . the industry's most
advanced gas-saving 6's. With
