The Merry Month of May found me in Sioux Center, Iowa on a different sort of test drive: testing a cab suspension rather than an entire truck. Link Manufacturing's ROI Cabmate (Road Optimized Intelligence) was still in development at the time, but it's slated for roll-out to the OEMs in 2019. It is a semi-active suspension, meaning it offers variable-rate damping in the suspension’s shock absorbers. The damping rate is electronically controlled using input from two accelerometers built into the rear of the cab and two position sensors that monitor the movement in the truck’s main suspension. It really does smooth out the ride.
