“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.
  • Freightliner M2 Utility
