The 4WD system provides traction control with electronic stability management, while the heavy-duty suspension components handle uneven terrain and loaded operations with confidence.

The Palfinger PSC 8029 crane mounted on this truck represents serious mechanical capability. With its 43,000 ft./lbs. rating, 29-foot hydraulic reach, and 400-degree rotation, it handles field service operations efficiently. The 8,000-pound vertical lift capacity addresses a wide range of industrial and maintenance tasks that define professional mechanics work.

Connected features keep you productive throughout your workday. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration keeps your smartphone functions accessible, while the 4G LTE Wi-Fi Hot Spot means your crew stays connected. The ParkView rear camera assists with precision positioning in tight service areas, and the SiriusXM radio delivers uninterrupted communication during long routes between job sites.

The climate control systems are engineered for professional environments. The Cold Weather Group, Engine Block Heater, and Heavy Duty Snow Plow Prep Group combination ensures this truck operates reliably regardless of season or weather conditions. The rear window defroster and fully automatic headlights with delay-off function support safe visibility during early mornings and late service calls.

Everyday functionality combines with work-focused features throughout this truck. The dual rear wheels increase load stability, while the 4.44 axle ratio supports heavy hauling. Manual adjust driver and passenger seats provide positioning flexibility, and the rear folding seat offers versatile storage alternatives. Remote keyless entry, speed control, and power steering reduce fatigue during long operational periods.
