Kenneth Stitner of Cowan System was one of the driver hosts. He asked for more interior storage for personal items. Daycab tractor here wears Cowan's green color. Photo: Tom Berg
The new bumper incorporates the Bendix Wingman Fusion advanced collision mitigation and safety system, which is standard. Photo: Deborah Lockridge
Redesigned doors have one-piece glass to offer better visibility and make the cab interior seem wider. Photo: Deborah Lockridge
Thinner door panels add some elbow room for the driver. Door's top is canted slightly inward to help seal out road noise when door's closed and truck is underway. Photo: Tom Berg
