    New from Freightliner Trucks is the 122SD, a vocational truck featuring rugged components that are tough enough to handle the most grueling of applications. With numerous enhancements to the former Coronado SD, the 122SD is now the cornerstone of the SD line of Freightliner severe duty vocational trucks.

    With a gross vehicle weight rating of up to 92,000 pounds and a gross combination weight rating of up to 160,000 pounds, the 122SD is engineered to haul heavy, oversized loads and can be configured for a variety of severe duty applications such as logging, oil/gas field services, concrete mixing, specialty/heavy-haul, crane, dump, vocational on-highway, and towing/recovery.

    The 122SD has a durable, non-corrosive aluminum SD cab reinforced with e-coated steel, which meets stringent A-pillar impact, rollover and back wall impact tests. State-of-the-art adhesives and Henrob rivets further reinforce the ergonomically designed cab’s durable structure. The chassis features a broad offering of vocational suspension choices and single or double channel frame rails having tensile strength of up to 120,000 psi and up to 5 million RBM.

    “Not only did we put the 122SD through a variety of virtual and physical tests, we developed a customer forum that provided important feedback that helped steer our product development,” said Mary Aufdemberg, director of product marketing for Freightliner Trucks. “The result is a severe duty vehicle that is engineered to handle the most challenging jobs with ease and efficiency, while delivering the performance and reliability customers expect from our severe duty products with the lowest total cost of ownership.”

    • One-piece skid plate;

    • 80,000 pounds rated logger front bumper;

    • Disc brakes; and

    • An in-cab battery box for the daycab.

    The 122SD comes equipped with the powerful OBD13 certified/GHG14-compliant Detroit DD15 TC engine, which features the ideal combination of torque and horsepower for heavy duty applications. The Detroit DD13, DD16, and Cummins ISX15 engines with ratings up to 600 horsepower and 2,050 lb-ft torque also can be spec’d.
