Sterling Truck Corp., Willoughby, Ohio, introduces updates to its car hauler offerings this summer, including HX Chassis enhancements and several components improvements to the MBE4000 engine.

"Sterling is continuing to update its product offerings for the car hauler market," said John Merrifield, senior vice president of Sterling Truck. "The development of the HX Chassis has enhanced our line of heavy duty trucks, and we are pleased to offer these same benefits to customers in the car hauler market."
The MBE4000 engine is among many of the new car hauler updates. Designed for on-highway and vocational applications, this engine is one of the strongest and lightest engine in its class, and comes standard with an exhaust brake with no additional weight penalty.
The lightweight 12.8-liter engine offers high horsepower ratings, and uses advanced materials and components to achieve an excellent power-to-weight ratio. This allows for a greater payload capacity and increased efficiency.
Sterling's updated car hauler features include
-- A 95-inch overall ground to cab unladen height, the shortest height available in the industry without an undesirable cab modification
-- A 101-inch BBC, the shortest hood length available in the industry
-- A 5-inch dropped front axle with a new design lowered front suspension
-- Ten and 13-speed transmission options
-- A standard 1,400-square-inch radiator
-- Standard 80-gallon rectangular aluminum fuel tanks
