Sterling Truck Corp. has introduced a tough new chassis-cab called the Sterling Bullet, the latest addition to the company's full line of Class 3-8 work trucks. It will be available at select Sterling dealerships in late fall 2007.

Competing in the Class 4 and 5 markets, the Bullet is ideal for demanding applications including construction, residential services, landscaping, municipal services, utility and pickup and delivery.
"Together with the Sterling 360, the Bullet makes Sterling the only commercial vehicle manufacturer to offer a complete line of Class 3-8 vehicles," said Matthew Stevenson, director of light commercial vehicles for Sterling Truck Corp.
Several features come standard on the Bullet, including a powerful Cummins 6.7L ISB engine with exhaust brake, a power take-off prep package, and a rugged 34-inch wide, 50,000 psi frame for easy body-builder upfit.
The Bullet is offered as a regular cab in four wheelbases or as a quad cab in two wheelbases. It also features two- or four-wheel drive and optional snowplow and towing packages.
The truck has a smooth-shifting manual or the optional fuel-saving automatic transmission. Standard air conditioning, easy-to-read gauges, and an adjustable tilt steering wheel reduce operator fatigue. Notable base model options include cruise control, fog lights, power windows and locks, power trailer tow mirrors, and numerous radio options. A premium interior package is available, and features options such as a navigation radio with available GPS, a cloth six-way power seat and an Infinity MP3/CD player.
