Freightliner Trucks offers a multitude of configurations for its M2 106, 108SD, and 114SD work truck models, allowing buyers to customize their vehicles for specific needs. Choosing the right options can significantly improve productivity, comfort, ergonomics, and overall truck performance.
Freightliner dealers can guide you through the extensive range of vocational vehicle options, from interior cab layouts to engine and powertrain choices. Here are three popular and valuable options available from Freightliner Trucks:
Top 3 Freightliner Dash Options for Enhanced Performance
1. Tilt & Telescoping Steering Column for Optimal Driver Comfort
Drivers come in all shapes and sizes. Freightliner’s adjustable steering column allows drivers to find the perfect steering wheel position for improved comfort, control, and productivity. A foot-operated pedal releases the column, enabling easy adjustment of both tilt and telescoping functions. Releasing the pedal locks the column securely in the desired position. This option, combined with an air-suspended driver’s seat, significantly enhances driver comfort, satisfaction, and retention.
2. Wraparound “Wing Dash” for Ergonomic Design
Freightliner is unique in offering both flat and wing dash options across a wide range of Class 5 to 8 work trucks. The standard flat dash maximizes passenger knee clearance, ideal for cabs accommodating a driver and two crew members. The curved wing dash, however, creates a more ergonomic driver environment by placing accessories and switches within easy reach.
3. Heated Windshield for Cold Weather Operation
Freightliner Trucks’ heated windshield is invaluable for snow plows and trucks operating in cold climates. Along with seven strategically positioned defroster vents, electric heating elements embedded in the lower windshield reduce snow and ice buildup. The windshield wipers rest directly over these heating elements, minimizing wiper icing.
Freightliner Trucks dealers can provide more information about these and other valuable options that enhance the performance of their work trucks in demanding environments.
